Frequently Asked Questions

What features make a sex toy travel-friendly?

For this article, Allure editors looked for sex toys that met our criteria of being compact, quiet, and discreet. We also looked for toys that have travel lock options or other features that make them particularly travel-friendly, such as a hard-shell charging case or a long-lasting battery.

Can I put sex toys in a checked bag? What about a carry-on bag?

Per the TSA website, adult toys are allowed to go in your checked luggage or your carry-on. TSA agents have seen it all before, so there’s no need to feel weird about having a vibrator or other sex toy in your luggage.

What’s the best way to store your sex toys in your luggage?

You’ll likely want to carry the toy in some kind of bag or small box to keep it separate from the rest of your stuff. Many sex toys come with a storage pouch when you buy them, and they’re great for travel. Other toys come with a charging case that keeps it protected. You could also use a clear Ziploc bag, which helps ensure that if your bag does get pulled for a security screening, the TSA agent can see the item without having to touch it directly.

You should also do your best to make sure the toy doesn’t turn on in your bag. There are a few ways to do this. Obviously, you can use the travel lock feature if your toy has one. If the toy is battery-powered, remove the batteries from the toy and pack them separately. If you’re traveling with a rechargeable toy that doesn’t have a travel lock, you can do your best to make sure the toy is dead when you pack it, and then recharge it when you get to your destination. Alternatively, if all of this makes you too nervous, you could bring a non-vibrating sex toy, like a silicone dildo or a penis sleeve.

What if airport security searches my bag?

It might be embarrassing, but that’s pretty much it. Unless you’re dealing with very unusual circumstances, you’ll be allowed to continue with the toy in your bag. Plus, you’ll have a funny story to tell your friends when you return from vacation.
