Is it a soft plastic/rubber friend or something with metal and/or batteries?

I checked mine in my luggage. If they aren't electronic at all, then I wouldn't think they would stop or question it in anyway. If it's got a wire, like an egg, they might look into your bag. If for some reason they do search your bag, just own it! At that point, that's the best you can do. Grin and go on about your business. I'm sure you aren't the first woman to go through security with a toy and you won't be the last.

I know they limit liquids and sharp items. I've never heard of dildo limits. I can't imagine why. You couldn't hijack a plane with one. But who knows now days?

Agent: "Excuse me miss, may I talk with you?"

You: "Sure. Is there a problem?"

Agent: "I'm afraid so. This does not meet regulation. There is a maximum of six inches allowed," he says, waving your 10 inch toy.

Makes me think of:

I can’t think of a good tagline so this will have to do. Suggest a better one for me?

I figured I might try " I am on my way to shoot a porno in Vegas, they told me to bring my favorite toys..."

I traveled with several of mine in a carry-on once when going to visit someone. I just kept them in their regular discreet pouches (that they came with) and then put them into a larger sleeper bag from one of my purses. I tucked the the whole thing between my clothes as if it was just another item I was packing.

I also decanted some toy cleaner into a mini perfume bottle and put it into my clear plastic bag that I would show for allotted quantity of liquids.

I didn't have any issues, however my flight was domestic and it was on a smaller airline used to hop cities.

If they do search your bag, just own it and shrug it off. They see all kinds of things. I'm sure they'll understand by the shape of the objects through the scanner that it might be 'toys' and if they go through your bag, I'm sure they'll be discreet as well and won't be pulling stuff out and waving it around the airport.

First and foremost, remove the batteries because it is mortifying should your luggage suddenly have a vibration (yep, been there, happened at ATL). Next, if they come apart, like the battery portion, keep them apart. Keep them in their own little pouches or containers. Like Dancing_Doll, I put mine in a larger bag so that they all stay together. Be sure to place them on top of your clothing, accessible when your bag is opened. TSA often are looking for shapes and cords, once they peek in they will have you on your merry way. This will save your clothing and sexy unmentionable from being unpacked. And, as all have said, just own it. The first time I was totally embarrassed, the multiple times after that I just said "Um, those are adult entertainment." The agent often peeked then smiled and I was done. They will search your bag in front of you, so if this happens be prepared. Also, I have been searched not for toys but my hair flat iron. They past the toys until they got to the hair product. Almost all my clothing was unpacked, so keep those things at the top. And it will probably only happen if you have a newbie, nor sure what he is looking at or for yet, manning the x-ray machine. Enjoy your trip. smile

I randomly looked this up today... there are lots of tips, youtube seminars etc on how to fly with sex toys. I learned some interesting things - namely that it's best to travel with toys less than 7inches and that in some countries, sex toys are illegal.

http://www.airsafe.com/issues/baggage/sextoy.htm



Jill Filipovic was on an international flight from Newark, NJ to Dublin, Ireland, and upon arrival found in her checked bag a printed advisory from the TSA stating that her bag had been opened and inspected by the TSA. In the margin of the note, a TSA screener added an extra message saying "Get your freak on girl."

Tips for traveling with sex toys

There are a number of common sense things that you can do to protect your sex toys and to limit the likelihood that the TSA will cause you any embarrassment or excessive delays:

1. Tell the truth: If a TSA screener asks you what is in your baggage just say what it is.

2. Remove batteries: This suggestion applies to any battery-powered item in your baggage that won't be used in flight.

3. Put your items in separate clear plastic bags: Keeping items in Ziploc type bags keeps them from being contaminated by handling by TSA screeners.

4. Don't pack banned items: Most sharp items, and liquid filled or gel filled items are typically banned from carry on baggage, but can be packed in checked luggage.

Size does matter. Remember that the TSA restricts hand tools longer than 7 inches in length in carry-on baggage, so if you a have a longer toy, it might fall into the category of “baton-like” or “club-like” items that have to be checked. TSA sometimes confiscates items from checked luggage when they cannot tell what they are, so if you think your toy is ambiguous, consider attaching a note.

Definitely okay to carry-on

- Vibrators, dildos, toys shorter than 7 inches
- Lubes/potions in 3 oz or less containers
- Handcuffs
- Strap-on harnesses or other gear made of leather, fabric, buckles
- Rope

Gray Areas: might be a good idea to check it

- Toys longer than 7 inches, especially ones made of hard or heavy materials
- Whips: the TSA specifies that “riding whips” and “riding crops” are okay to carry-on, but “whips” and “bullwhips” are martial arts/self-defense equipment that must be checked.
- Paddles: the TSA specifies that ping-pong paddles are okay to carry-on, so paddles of about that size should be, too.
- E-stim: TENS units for pain treatment are okay to carry-on, so our guess is that e-stim units will be treated the same way.

Must check it:

- Objects with sharp edges or points.
- Objects that are similar in size/shape/weight to clubs, bats, or batons.

Remember, finally, that if you’re headed out of the United States, it’s a good idea to do some research on the laws and culture of the particular country where you are traveling, as some countries have more restrictive laws about sex toys. (A partial list of countries where sex toys are illegal: India, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, United Arab Emirates). Also remember to keep the US embassy’s phone number on your at all times, just in case.
