10 best sex toys to pack discreetly in your hand luggage

Check the laws of your destination: “The first rule of travelling with any sex tech is to first check the laws in your destination and layovers,” urges Moyle. “Laws vary, and enforcement can be discretionary, but there are several countries where sex toys can be categorised as obscene materials or products.

“Where this is the case, countries can have strict prohibitions on the importation and possession of sex toys, for example: the Maldives, Malaysia, Thailand, UAE and Saudi Arabia, to name a few.”

Engage the travel lock: Some sex toys – often the more premium or designed specifically with travel in mind – have a built-in travel lock to prevent any unwanted turbulence. While the manual will detail how exactly to turn this on/off, it often involves holding down two buttons simultaneously for three to five seconds.

Consider your packing: Packing cubes, make-up bags, inside a shoe. People get creative when trying to hide their vibrators in their hand luggage, not to be seen, even if security requests to do a quick search. While there are purpose-made packing options – the Sweat Sesh bundle from Smile Makers Collection comes packed inside a carry case that has space for sex toys and the essentials to go with it.

Marshall suggests: “Bag your toys up together in a vanity case or clear plastic bag so that if, for any reason, your case needs to be screened.”
