<\/p>\nWhen going on holiday with a partner, or even alone, you might want to use the time to relax. For some, that means getting a bit frisky and enjoying time in bed \u2013 possibly with a vibrator or sex toy to liven things up. <\/p>\n
However, it can be nerve-wracking to take anything of the sort in your suitcase \u2013 especially in cabin bags which might be searched by security officers at the airport. It's also important to remember that sex toys are not legal everywhere on the planet! <\/p>\n
Nobody wants to get in trouble with the law over a vibrator or embarrassed ahead of your trip away. So, it's important to know what you're doing when you're going on a dirty weekend away.<\/p>\n

Many countries won\u2019t give your sex toy a second thought, but not all. Countries like Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates do have restrictions, so you need to do your research to avoid facing a fine, potentially getting detained and having your sex toy confiscated. Even if there are no restrictions, ask yourself whether your toy could be considered to be shaped like a weapon and, if there\u2019s any doubt, leave it at home.<\/p>\n

Even if bringing your toys along from the trip isn\u2019t against the law, do you really want an unexpected buzz to draw attention to it as you pass through security? If it doesn\u2019t have a travel lock, remove the batteries or drain the charge before you pack your bags. That might mean using it every night for a week before you head off, but at least you\u2019ll sleep well on the flight.<\/p>\n
Before you pack it, bag it. Airport security bins are crawling with germs, and you don\u2019t want your toy to get contaminated. Plus, in the unlikely chance that airport security does want to sift through your personal belongings, you won\u2019t have to worry about them putting their hands all over it if it\u2019s safely stored in a clear container.<\/p>\n

Sex toys are rarely a problem, but liquids can be. If you need to bring along lube or toy cleaner, it\u2019s important that you follow the rules. Security won\u2019t let it slide to avoid embarrassment. Less than 3.4 ounces (100ml) is fine for liquids stored in carry-on bags, and there\u2019s typically no limit if it\u2019s in checked luggage. To make it easier for staff to identify, it\u2019s best to leave liquids in their original packaging until you reach your destination.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re acting nervous, you\u2019re far more likely to get stopped. You\u2019re not breaking the law, so stop worrying. Even if security does question you on the dildo in your backpack, it\u2019s not the first they\u2019ve seen, and I\u2019m sure they have a toy or two back at home. Be confident and stay calm \u2014 there\u2019s nothing wrong with enjoying a little pleasure.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s unlikely, but there\u2019s always a chance that airport security will find a reason to confiscate your toy. You won\u2019t be in a position to argue (unless you\u2019re willing to miss your flight and head back home), so don\u2019t pack anything you don\u2019t want to lose. If it\u2019s expensive, one-of-a-kind, or you can\u2019t live without it long-term, leave it at home for once you return. It\u2019ll feel all the better after a period apart, anyway.<\/p>\n
