Read on to find out how to get through security safely with your toys safe!
8 good tips about sex toys in hand luggage
- Avoid the hum in the suitcase. If you can take the batteries out of your products, do so and pack them separately (however, be aware that there are rules for which types of batteries you may take with you in your luggage ). Some sex toys can be locked so that they do not turn themselves on. Check the manual to find out if your vibrator has a keypad lock.
- Put your sex toy in a transparent bag for hygienic reasons. First, it's nice for the airport officer checking your luggage not to touch your vibrator or dildo. Secondly, it's also nice for you that there aren't a few strange hands that have messed with your toy. Even if the nice officer will probably prefer to put on gloves before they fish your toy out of the suitcase. The more effort you have made to make it a smooth experience for everyone, the faster you will get through security.
- Leave your toys in the bag. There's no need to throw it on the tray with your laptop.
- Place your sex toy at the top of your hand luggage. Copenhagen Airport writes on their website that all electronic devices should be placed at the top of the suitcase. Then you are free from them asking you to untangle all the contents out of the bag so that you can show off your favorite vibrator.
- Pack liquids separately. This also applies to lubricants. You may take a maximum of one liter with you (but it is probably also enough for one holiday), and it must be packed in a transparent plastic bag in 100 ml containers. Here you can be so smart as to fill your lube in a small bottle. Then there will be no red cheeks when the airport officer asks you to put all liquids on the conveyor belt.
- If it looks dangerous, leave it at home. A bullet vibrator can easily be mistaken for a cartridge, and there are also sex toys that look like guns. Do you have a penchant for very large dildos? Such a person can easily make it a scam. And steel toys can be confiscated because they can hit hard. Therefore: Consider what might cause an embarrassing scene and pack wisely.
- Don't pack the favorites. As with anything else, when you travel the world, there is a risk of losing your toy. It can be confiscated during the security check, and for that matter you can also forget it at the hotel. If you have a particularly dear butt plug, leave it if necessary. stay in the drawer at home and take the next best thing with you in your bag.
- Check local regulations. Depending on where in the world you travel to, there may be rules for bringing in sex toys and pornography. Double check the local regulations before you pack. And if in doubt, leave your toys at home.
