Sex toys in hand luggage: What travelers need to know

by Corinna

Air travelers on a sensual mission are advised to carry sex toys in their hand luggage. Stored in a transparent bag, sex toys can be easily inspected.

Sex toys are permitted in hand luggage on airplanes!

Sex toys are a must-have when heading off on a romantic getaway. However, the question quickly arises as to whether sex toys should be carried in your carry-on luggage or in your suitcase. As a general rule, sex toys can be transported in your carry-on luggage. If they are vibrators or other electrically powered devices, they must even be carried in your carry-on luggage. Electronics of any kind are not allowed in checked luggage due to safety regulations. Basically, carrying sex toys in your carry-on luggage is straightforward if you keep the following things in mind.

  • It depends on the size. It is best to choose small, inconspicuous sex toys for your trip. Very large dildos or vibrators could be classified as weapons and therefore confiscated by security personnel.
  • Also, do not carry sex toys in your carry-on luggage that could be classified as weapons. These include handcuffs, whips, gags, and other items that restrict the other person’s ability to act.
  • Check with the airline for regulations on carrying batteries and rechargeable batteries! Some airlines completely prohibit the carriage of lithium batteries because they could explode on board. If your sex toy has such a battery, unfortunately it will have to stay at home with some airlines.

Pay attention to entry regulations when carrying sex toys in your carry-on luggage

Sex toys in carry-on luggage are rarely a problem for airlines. However, the situation is different when it comes to entry regulations. Not every vacation destination can be easily traveled to with sex toys in your luggage. In Muslim-dominated countries, laws apply to “preserve morality.” Depending on the strictness of the interpretation of these regulations, vacationers are also prohibited from carrying sex toys. This affects the following popular travel destinations, for example:

  • Maldives
  • Egypt
  • United Arab Emirates
  • Thailand
  • India
  • Vietnam
  • Saudi Arabia
  • United Arab Emirates
  • USA (especially in Alabama and Texas)
  • Iran
  • Malaysia
  • Afghanistan

    Transport tips: Stow sex toys safely and discreetly in your carry-on luggage

    Once you’ve chosen your destination and packed your suitcase, sex toys such as the Womanizer can also be stowed in your carry-on luggage. Here are some quick and easy tips for transporting sex toys in your carry-on luggage.

    1. Store your sex toys at the top of your carry-on luggage. This allows security personnel at the scanner to easily identify what type of item it is. If your carry-on luggage is checked manually, you can quickly take out the sex toy and put it back in your bag without causing a stir.
    2. Pack the sex toys separately in plastic bags. These should be transparent and resealable. This is important for hygiene reasons during the check, as you don’t know what the security staff has touched before your luggage.
    3. Liquids such as lubricants and massage oils are subject to the same regulations as other liquids in hand luggage. This means that you may only carry lubricant and similar items in quantities of up to 100 milliliters per container. In addition, the bottles must be packed in a transparent bag. Forgot your lubricant? No problem, there are great alternatives to lubricant that you can buy locally.
    4. Completely switch off electronic sex toys in your carry-on luggage!

      If you want to make sure that the device cannot switch itself on, remove the batteries or rechargeable battery and transport them separately.

    5. Pad sensitive sex toys in your carry-on luggage with a scarf or other soft items.
