At Dreamtoys, our sales team travels all over Europe to visit retailers, so we know firsthand what it’s like to take pleasure products through airport security. Here’s our expert advice to help you breeze through your next trip with confidence.

Are Sex Toys Allowed in Airports?

Yes! In most countries, sex toys are perfectly legal to bring in your luggage. However, they must go through the same security screening as everything else. Keep in mind, though, that some countries have restrictions on adult products, so always check the rules at your destination before you pack.

Carry-On or Checked Luggage?

Carry-On: You can absolutely bring sex toys in your carry-on bag. Just remember, everything in your carry-on will be screened, so discretion is key.

Checked Luggage: Larger toys or those with metal components (like stainless steel dildos) are often better off in your checked bag to avoid extra scrutiny. This also applies to items like handcuffs or ropes: store these in checked luggage, ideally in their original packaging and labelled if possible.

How to Pack Your Sex Toys for Security

1. Use a Clear Plastic Bag: Place your toy in a clear plastic or Ziploc bag. This way, if security needs to inspect your bag, they can see what it is without touching it: much more hygienic and less awkward for everyone.
2. Wrap It Up: For extra discretion and protection, wrap your toy in a soft cloth or small towel. This helps prevent damage during transit.
3. Remove Batteries: If your toy is battery-operated, remove the batteries before packing. This prevents accidental turn-ons and complies with airline safety regulations.
4. Keep It Clean: Always clean your toys before packing, and consider bringing a small toy cleaner for use on the go.

What Happens If Security Checks Your Bag?

Don’t panic! Security agents have seen it all before. If your bag is searched, having your toy in a clear bag makes the process quick and discreet. Most agents will simply check, confirm it’s safe, and move on.
