One of the most embarrassing things that can ever happen? TSA confiscating your best sex toy in the middle of airport security. Old ladies collapsing, moms shielding their children’s eyes, the awkward two-finger, glove-covered grab the agent that searched your bag does and, of course, money down the drain.
The entire idea likely makes you shutter, so you’ve never actually brought your favorite sex toy on a trip, have you? Well, we’re here to help you fret less. Discreet sex toys have you covered for all of your extra horny moments on vacation.
What Kind Of Sex Toys Can You Pack?
Here’s the full tea: bringing sex toys through airport security is actually quite easy if you do it right. “Many new toys have an “airplane lock” mode where you can make sure the toy doesn’t start buzzing in your bag,” says author, sex educator and sex worker Vanessa Carlisle, Ph.D. “This is a real plus for traveling, since if your vibrator goes off in your luggage, it will more than likely get confiscated.”
A vibrating toy shouldn’t make you worry though. “It’s basically all good as long as you pack a clean toy discreetly, & put your toy in airplane lock mode, if possible,” Carlisle tells us. “If it is a battery toy, you may have to remove the batteries to travel and buy new ones when you get there, which is annoying. I tend to bring a less expensive toy on the road with me, just in case.” Because who wants their most expensive sex toy taken? Nobody.
Sex toys that don’t vibrate are more or less fair game. For example, if you’re bringing a classic silicone dildo, you should be good to go for the fact that it won’t go off unexpectedly.

What Kind Of Sex Toys Should Stay Home?
“There are certain BDSM implements that set off suspicion with TSA — metal handcuffs, sharp objects, extender canes,” says Carlisle. “If you are bringing a BDSM arsenal, check your bag.”
That all being said, the BDSM toys for couples might not even make it through your checked bag, either. Depending on how bizarre and/or heavy-duty they might get, it might be a safer bet to leave the majority of your kink back home.
“I travel with my toys all the time. I’ve had two vibrators confiscated by TSA,” Carlisle continues. “They leave a little note in your bag saying they opened it, but of course, they didn’t tell me why my vibrator was gone!”
That said, just ensure your vibrating toys will not vibrate, keep most of the BDSM toys at home, consider cheaper options you don’t care about and don’t bring anything too bananas. It’s relatively simple.
