Part of the reason I chose not to bring my strap-on was the airlines. I\u2019ve packed small vibrators<\/strong><\/a> in my luggage before, but never something as large and intimidating as a bright pink dildo and strappy harness. But the TSA isn\u2019t any reason to leave your sex toys at home, Scalasi says. \u201cRemember that your pleasure matters \u2014 and that TSA agents have seen it all,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n TSA-APPROVED: A tried & tested guide on traveling with sex toys<\/a>!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Still, a senior TSA agent once told her that sex toys are some of the most commonly flagged items going through airport security. Their shapes and sizes can be confused for clubs or batons or simply puzzle the agents screening your bags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, in the case that your bag gets checked, here are the best tips to “sneak” your sex toy past airport security:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Put your sex toys in a clear plastic bag<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n This way, if someone inspects your luggage, they don’t touch the toy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Size matters for your carryon<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep your sex toy to a max of seven inches or under. Anything over is considered a baton or club and needs to be in your checked bag. Even then, there’s still a risk the toy will get confiscated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Don’t forget lube and toy cleaner<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n And remember the 3-1-1 rules for liquids. Consider checking these items or getting sample packs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. Check the laws if you’re traveling internationally<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sex toys aren’t legal in every country. Be mindful and do some research before you travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some sex toys are specifically made for travel. Are those the only ones you should bring on vacation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not at all, Scalisi says. While you may find it convenient to have a travel-size vibrator, it\u2019s not necessary. These sex toys tend to be smaller than the full-size versions or have lids that cover the most sex toy-looking parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The only feature Scalisi and Stubbs suggest a sex toy you\u2019re traveling with should have is a travel lock \u2014 and many of them do. \u201cA travel lock will prevent your toy from accidentally turning on while in transit or from bumps and jostling,\u201d Stubbs says. \u201cThe first good thing about this is that your toy won’t be dead when you arrive at your location. Secondly, you won’t be the person having to fess up to the suspicious, vibrating bag.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re not sure whether your sex toy has a travel lock or not, Google it. It\u2019s usually a series of button-presses that will lock the toy down, Stubbs says. But if it doesn\u2019t have one, Scalisi suggests wearing out the charge beforehand \u2014 you\u2019ll have to charge it when you get to your destination, but at least you\u2019ll avoid a potentially embarrassing situation on the plane, bus, or train.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Still, it can be convenient for luggage space to pack something small, especially if you\u2019re the type of person who overpacks for every trip. To save space, you might want to consider packing something like the Le Wand Petite<\/a> or the Le Wand Chrome<\/a> travel-friendly vibes \u2014 which pack a powerful punch in small packages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vacation mode: activated—and it’s about to get very<\/em> steamy. Whether you’re soaking in a luxurious hotel bathtub, bubbling away in a jacuzzi, or skinny-dipping in your private pool, the Le Wand Dive<\/a> is your ultimate getaway companion. This waterproof pleasure powerhouse is perfect for turning up the heat after a day of sightseeing (or lounging). Slip it between you and your partner for some sensual underwater foreplay, or take turns exploring each other’s bodies with its deep, rumbly vibrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, what about the noise? Depending on where you\u2019re headed, the noise-level of your vibrators may be a concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My girlfriend and I would have been totally fine with the loudest, most rumbly vibrator in our log cabin because the nearest neighbor was far, far away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But if your vacation is at your parents\u2019 house, or if you\u2019re staying in a hotel where you have 20 neighbors all on the same floor then you don\u2019t have as much noise luxury. \u201cIf you’re thinking about using a sex toy in close proximity to others, definitely test out the loudness before you pack it,\u201d Stubbs says. \u201cYou can always try using a pillow to muffle the sound, too.\u201d Or, if it comes down to it, you could blame the sound on your toothbrush, she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Scalisi almost always suggests people buy whisper-quiet sex toys like Le Wand Bullet<\/a> because they\u2019re versatile and can be used almost anywhere. \u201cThat being said, part of the fun of vacation is vacation sex and if that includes noise and exhibitionism [for you] go for it,\u201d she says. Of course, you should still be mindful of where you are and that the people around you haven\u2019t consented to see you have sex, though hearing people have sex is a thing that sometimes just happens with thin hotel-room walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re at your parents\u2019 house, Scalisi suggests making a game out of having the quietest sex you can, and that can include your sex toys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And if you\u2019re traveling internationally, she cautions you to be mindful of cultural norms and laws that may be different from what you\u2019re used to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, if you are staying in a hotel, please be respectful to the waitstaff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So your first night of vacation sex was an absolute blast \u2014 you had sex in every inch of your hotel room and passed out on the bed at 2 a.m. Now, it\u2019s morning and you just want to head down to breakfast, get some coffee, and start your sightseeing. But wait: There are probably a few things you need to take care of first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhen it comes to hotel anything, I always say be courteous,\u201d Stubbs says. \u201cYou can get as kinky and as wild as you want, but don’t destroy the hotel room.\u201d That means making sure that any single-use sex toys you buy, like disposable cock rings, lube packets, and even nipple pasties, end up in the trash and not on the hotel room floor. That goes for condoms, too. Don\u2019t leave them out on your nightstand and don\u2019t flush them down the toilet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When it comes to the sex toys you\u2019ve brought from home, make sure to put them away in your bag \u2014 and you might want to clean them first, too (bringing your own toy cleaner<\/a> or a UV sterilizer pouch<\/a> is probably a good idea).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hotel cleaning staff, like TSA agents, have seen everything, Scalisi says. But that doesn\u2019t mean they want to see your used sex toys or accessories laying around or have to touch it so they can clean the room. Either put your toys away or, if you\u2019re really too tired to pick up before you go out, opt-out of having your room cleaned. \u201cAnd don’t forget to tip,\u201d Scalisi says, \u201cespecially if you leave a mess.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For our first anniversary, my girlfriend took me to a beautiful, remote log cabin in snowy Wisconsin.
