Travelling with Sex Toys
 

Anyone know if there are any rules to this?
I have my honeymoon coming up in a couple of months and would like to bring a couple of our toys along with us. We are going to be on a plane.
I imagine that if we don't put the batteries in them, we won't have to worry about the classic "bomb squad" story you hear about when one accidentally turns on.
Any stories or suggestions?

Oh yeah.....thanks in advance as usual for any input (*sets it up*).

I just pack them and don't worry about it... of course, I don't have any battery operated devices. One thing to remember is to pack any lube in a ziplock bag. The luggage area isn't pressurized and the changes in temperature and air pressure and force the conents out... I speak from experience.

I don't travel with sex toys myself... but my keychain has always had a mini vibrator on it - that sometimes gets questioned by airline security... is that a weapon ma'am? Then when I explain with a straight face, that it's not a weapon, it's indeed a vibrator, and will turn it on for them... I usually get waved thru... (batteries are now dead in it... too bad... guess i did too many airport demos)

Seriously, though, take the batteries out and you won't have a problem...

Airport demos. Right.

"Usually it's an electric razor, but ever now and then... It's a dildo. Our policy is not to imply ownership in the event of a dildo. It's always 'the dildo', not 'your dildo'..."

Ratbastid, that's one of my favourite lines from the book/movie. It was also the first thing that popped into my head when I saw the subject. The second was leaky lube...

TAKE THE BATTERIES OUT! :D if you leave them in... they might turn on during the trip and also, they look more suspicious to airport security when they scan them.

sex toys aren't that big of a deal... however, when we went to Hawaii... i'm pretty sure our bags were searched because all our toys got moved from their side pockets to in the middle of the clothes ;)

If I could have remembered how that scene went, I would have added it in. Nicely done.

Thanks all....I'm an idiot, I think I was more concerned with carry on but forgot that we are taking a good bit of clothes with us so I can just put them in the suitcase. DOH!!!

Thanks again!

what exactly are you implying, young man??? hmmm???

Implying nothing... it's called fantasizing...

Yes indeed, take the batteries out. I'm speaking from a very embarrassing, been there done that perspective :thumbsup:

i say put it in the carry on leave the batterys in and turn the thing on right before going through security. give them something to talk about the rest of the day. just get there a little bit early.

FedEx the sybian.

Hahahaha! *snort*

I haven't seen one of those on an incompatable belt... yet. :)

Just carry them on... inserted. It will give you something to do while you wait for take off...

I suggest you just take the batteries out, pack the lube in a plastic casing of some form (ziplock, tupperwear around the bottle, etc) in order to prevent leakage, and if for some reason your stuff does get searched, just giggle and tell them that you're on your honeymoon.

Or, get a box and write on it with big letters "OUR SEX TOYS" just so they know it's not a bomb. ;)

On my summer trip to europe I bought a pair of pink fuzzy handcuffs from amsterdam as a gift for my gf - they were obviously fake, cheap plastic, and I was able to take em all around europe in trains/planes. But on the way back our flight stopped in canada and they were confiscated...lol...they searched my bag and found a pair of pink fuzzy cuffs, quite embarasing, but then the lady showed me she had a stash of them under the counter (real ones and cheeta print ones) lol.

I found it quite humerous to read this because my friend's luggage just searched through at the airport in front of everyone! They found her dildo and couldn't figure out how to open the battery com partment so she had to open it for them so that they could verify that there was just batteries in it! Needless to say I's sure she was quite embarrassed!

Never travel without my dildo and my butt plug
and remember girls never travel with ben-wa balls in ...

I have no experience travelling with sex toys, so I can't really give any advice. I'm just strongly reminded of the scene in the film Fight Club...

Just remember to turn it off before you pack it.

And never, under any circumstances do we say that the dildo turned itself on.

I've never had any problems traveling with vibrators or dildos... I take the batteries out, wrap them in my underwear or socks, and pack them carefully. I double wrap my lube, just to be sure it doesn't leak all over my stuff. And I pack it in the luggage I check... Just to be sure I don't have to explain anything at security. *grins* I've worried once or twice when I travel with my floggers and paddles whether or not they're going to get confiscated, but so far, so good. I just never carry them in my carry on luggage, and I've been lucky. I have friends who've had various items confiscated, but I'm not sure what they're doing different.

Do what sweetpea says- make sure to take the batteries out.

I was in the car with my parents way back when I had first gotten my vibrator, and I had tucked it into my bag in the trunk. Even through all the layers of clothes, it turned on, and everyone was like: "What's that noise?" Yeah, luckily, a bump in the road made it turn off.

yes i can speak from experience as well... lube opens in a suitcase.... its a mess.

yeah just take the batteries out and check it if possible.. at least then if they search it you most likely wont be present... kinda mitigates the embarassment...

It could be much worse... I work with explosives on a regular basis so my luggage has been known to swab positive for RDX residue (the active chemical in C4) :P
