The Mile-High Club: How To Get Your Sex Toys Through The Airport
Do you have fantasies of joining the high mile club? Are you wondering whether it's right to fly on a plane with a sex toy in your bag? Yes, it's okay to travel by your ideal sex toy on a plane. The Transport Security Administration (TSA) allows people to travel with their adult toys.
The common question most travelers ask is how do you get them over the tight security without notifying other people? Others ask how exactly are sex toys packed? According to TSA officials, travelers can carry their adult sex toys in their carry-on or checked bags. According to recent research, more than 50% of couples reported being more intimate with their partners while on vacation than when at home. Traveling, in general, is linked with improved sex drive. Some people might need to go a notch higher and bring sex toys to add to all the brewing passion and sex moods. However, some sex toys like dildos do not easily fold. This makes them difficult to carry. We have some tips to help you pack and get through TSA at the airport with your sex toys.
Check The Type of Toy You Are Carrying
First, you need to be sure of what you are carrying to avoid getting nervous or falling into dep trouble when confiscating your toy. For those who are not sure if your favorite adult sex toy is allowed at the airport, you can search on the TSA website for all the information you need to know. They have a "What Can I Bring" website that indicates all the items that are allowed in checked or carry-on bags. For instance, a vibrator, dildo, and handcuffs are permitted on a flight. Some intense BDSM sex toys that can be used as weapons do not make the cut. For those worrying about the size limit of the sex toys, worry less as the TSA has not imposed any restrictions on the actual size of toys. Double-check to ensure what you carry is allowed on planes to save yourself from unwanted problems.
Pack Them in Smaller Bags
Some adult sex toys come with a traveling bag. Use the bag to pack your toys when traveling. This makes it easier for the TSA to identify what you are carrying and saves you time on inquiries about your stuff. For those toys that don't have their own packing bags, use a pouch or any zippered bag such as makeup bags. This is a security and a sanitary tip as well. The airport is always crowded and full of security bins that are full of germs. Carrying your sex toys in well-zippered bags prevents them from being contaminated.
Choose a Smaller Toy
Size does not matter on the TSA rules, but it's advisable to pack smaller toys. Small-sized sex toys are discreet and do not grab the attention of other people easily. Packing light is always recommended on a plane the same applies to adult sex toys. Carrying a big vibrator or dildo can increase nervousness in travelers. As you try to hide your toy, people can notice your weird attention to your carry-on packs and even prompt TSA to check on your bags. To save yourself from unwanted embarrassment, ensure that you stick to smaller toys. No one likes the idea of seeing a larger mysterious object popping out of their bags. Going small is the best way to carry and pack your toys. Consider petite toys that can easily be hidden and tucked away in your traveling bags.
Prevent Impromptu Noises
Some adult sex toys like vibrators emit buzzing noises. The least everybody wants is to turn on their vibrator accidentally. This will draw unnecessary attention both from other travelers and the TSA. To avoid the buzzing ensure you keep in mind the following when traveling with buzzing sex toys. If the sex toy is battery-operated, remove the batteries at all times. This keeps the toy and prevents unwanted attention. For those with rechargeable vibrators, you can run out of the battery charge before packing it. This means that you have to use it repeatedly every day a week before you travel, but who is worried about that? Packing noiseless vibrators or any other toys is the best way to prevent creating unwanted attention with your stuff.
Bag It
TSA officials screen all bags at the airport as a security measure. To ensure that you don't get into trouble with the TSA, bagging your toys is ideal. Go for clear plastic bags. Keeping your favorite sex toy in a clear plastic bag saves you explanations when the TSA opens your bag. It's also a hygiene measure the TSA will know what you are carrying without opening or having their hands on your pleasure toy.
Play It Cool and Relax.
Some travelers get nervous or scared when they carry adult toys with them. Remember that the TSA staff are equipped with skills to identify travelers who act suspiciously. So, if you act nervous due to worries about a hidden toy, they will easily pick on you. To avoid this, always try to stay calm and collected. You can soothe your nervousness by simply reminding yourself that you are not the first or last traveler to carry a sex toy on the plane.
Follow The 3-Oz. Rule
For those planning to bring some lune or toy cleaner with them, it's not a big issue. The TSA has restrictions on liquids. They only allow 3 ounces or less of liquids in planes. Keep your lune or toy cleaner formulation 3 ounces or less and you will not have any troubles with the TSA.
Own It
TSA agents are not permitted to make any judgments or comments on what you are carrying. Unfortunately, sometimes events can happen at the airport and might require the TSA to screen search all bags. If this happens, the best thing to do is to say the truth about your toy. Traveling with an adult toy is not a sin. It shows that you are comfortable with who you are and your sexuality. Be comfortable and confident to claim your toy. This saves you from unnecessary questions or probing.
The Bottom Line
Carrying sex toys on planes is permitted. Ensure you keep in mind the above tips when traveling with toys. Enhance your vacation pleasure by carrying an ideal pleasure toy with you. On your next travel, pick a toy of tour choice in your bedroom collection and pack it well for more vacation fun with your lover.
