Put TSA At Bay - Traveling with Sex Toys

In a 2019 survey conducted on American summer travelers, 34% of its participants revealed that their sex lives were “better than usual” on vacation. In addition, many couples report the incredible effects of spending a holiday together. They are more likely to communicate with each other, have sex, and feel generally more romantic.

‌‌So, there is definitely a link between feeling sensual and going on vacation. But, what if you want to pleasure yourself or other people with a toy on vacation?

Can you just pack a vibrator in checked luggage without thinking about it, or do you have to learn how to travel with sex toys? 

‌It depends on the toy and country. Sex toys are perfectly legal to travel within every state in the United States (even Alabama, which prohibits the sale of sex toys!). 

‌Legality aside, there can be confusing and embarrassing mixups if you aren’t careful, especially if you choose to store your sex toys in your carry-on bag. So, can you take a vibrator through airport security, and are vibrators allowed in carry-on luggage?

Can you bring sex toys on a plane?

Legally yes, but there are other aspects of the situation to take into account.

How to Travel With Your Sex Toy?

In many cases, there are no laws that prohibit you from traveling with sex toys, whether you put your sex toys in checked luggage or in your carry-on. So if you're wondering, can you bring dildos on a plane, the answer is likely yes. However, it is essential to plan ahead and think about how to best transport your toys. 

Within the United States

Usually, traveling with sex toys in the United States is 100% legal and permissible. The only caveat is BDSM toys or toys that look like weapons (we’ll get into that later).

However, TSA may sometimes see them on your luggage scan and want to take a closer look. If your toy is in your carry-on bag, this may entail them taking your luggage off the conveyor belt and performing a search.

BDSM Toys‌

TSA guidelines clearly state that vibrators and dildos are allowed. You can view this on the TSA’s “What Can I Bring” guidelines. However, if you are partial to bondage or activities that require more esoteric objects, be mindful that some of the accessories or toys involved with that may not be permitted by TSA.

For example, butt plugs and handcuffs are perfectly fine for your carry-on bag. However, batons, whips, and pinwheels are not. Just make sure to check that whatever you’d like to bring is not classified as a weapon.

International Travel with Sex Toys

You might be surprised by just how many countries prohibit people from bringing sex toys into them. If you try to bring a toy into a country that doesn’t allow them, usually this just means that if they find it, they will confiscate it. But sometimes it could result in more severe repercussions.

For instance, most countries in the Middle East will not let you bring a sex toy into their country. However, they may not object to you bring in a “back massager”.....*wink wink*.

Something like the Form 2 or the Canna  might fit into this category. Unfortunately, there is no singular master list of these countries, so just make sure to do your research and plan ahead before bringing your toy.


Where Do You Store Your Sex Toy?

Because we know that sex toys show up on airport x-rays and scans, it's best to try and make it as clear as possible that you have one. If you choose to pack your toy in your carry-on bag, try and keep your toy near the top of your bag so that the airport scanner is able to get a clear picture of it. If it’s buried beneath a lot of objects or in a super padded bag, they might be more curious as to what it is and want to look into your luggage more.

  1. Something you can do to avoid this is to put your toy in a separate pouch from the rest of your items. The more transparent this pouch is, the better. That way, if they look through your bag, they don’t need to put their gloved hands on your toy to know it is a toy!

  2. Everyone deserves to pleasure themselves how they want, and it is entirely within your rights to travel with whatever toy you want in the United States. It would be utterly inappropriate for any TSA person to judge or make unsavory comments about what they find in your bag.

Can You Bring a Vibrator on a Plane?

Can you pack a vibrator in checked luggage?

Yes, however, just be prepared for the possibility of airport security wanting to take a look at it.

In terms of packing vibrators in a carry-on bag and taking the vibrators through airport security, it is perfectly legal as well. Just make sure not to take the vibrator out of your bag until you touch down and get back to your residence. Public sex and masturbation are undoubtedly illegal in most places.

What Adult Products Are Not Allowed on a Plane?

As previously mentioned, particular BDSM/bondage objects are classified as weapons. Be sure to look at the TSA’s guidelines in order to figure out whether you are allowed to bring certain objects. Even if the toy you're thinking about bringing is not permitted, most of the time, you will just have to put it in your checked back rather than your carry-on. 

Also, though lubricant is normally permitted, be sure that your lube fits with the liquid container size limits for air travel.


Getting Sex Toys Through Airport Security

In many cases, it's perfectly legal for you to bring your sex toys with you on your trip. However, you should always research what the TSA policies are about your particular toy, and if you're traveling internationally, it's a good idea to see if the country you're going to has any laws against bringing sex toys. If you have any questions, refer to this helpful guide set up by TSA.

TL;DR: Curious about how to use a bullet vibrator but not sure where to start? This quick, no-judgment guide breaks down everything you need to know to explore pleasure with confidence and comfort. Here’s what you’ll learn: What a bullet vibrator is and why it’s a great choice for beginners—compact, discreet, and designed for external stimulation. Ways to use a bullet vibrator on different parts of the body, like the clitoris, nipples, inner thighs, or even externally on the penis and perineum. Best way to use a bullet vibrator for maximum pleasure—start slow, use lube, and explore gently. So you’ve got a bullet vibrator (or you’re thinking about taking one for a spin)—now what? First of all: congrats. You’re about to meet one of the tiniest, most versatile little pleasure tools out there. Think of it as your new BFF for external stimulation—no assembly required. And if you’re feeling even slightly unsure about how to use a vibrating bullet, take a deep breath. You’re in the right place. There’s zero shame in being curious, confused, or completely new to this. This quick guide will walk you through everything from where to place it, how to make it feel really good, to tips for staying comfy, safe, and totally in control. Ready to find out why small truly can be mighty? What Is a Bullet Vibrator, Anyway? Let’s break it down: a bullet vibrator is exactly what it sounds like…a small, bullet-shaped vibe designed for external stimulation. Think compact, discreet, and oh-so-easy to use. It’s basically the pocketknife of the pleasure world (minus the sharp parts, of course). People love them for good reason. First off, they’re incredibly beginner-friendly. If you’re new to using a bullet vibrator, this little guy won’t overwhelm you with size or bells and whistles. It's straightforward, unintimidating, and totally down to do the job. Plus, the small size makes it perfect for tossing in your bag, keeping in your nightstand, or slipping into your skincare fridge if you're feeling fancy. Most bullet vibes come with multiple speeds or vibration patterns—so you can keep things low-key or turn it all the way up when you’re ready. Many are also waterproof (shower play, anyone?) and rechargeable, which means no fumbling for batteries in the middle of the moment. Bottom line: whether you’re flying solo or inviting your partner in for the fun, using a bullet vibrator is one of the simplest, most effective ways to explore pleasure on your own terms. Where and How to Use a Bullet Vibrator So, you’ve got this sleek little toy in your hand—now let’s talk about where to aim it and how to make it feel amazing. Most Popular Spots to Explore One of the most exciting things about a bullet vibe? It’s not just a one-trick pony. There are so many ways to use a bullet vibrator on your erogenous zones to bring pleasure into your routine. Clitoris: This is the go-to spot for most people with vulvas, and for good reason. The clitoris is packed with nerve endings, and a bullet vibe delivers pinpoint stimulation that can take you from “just curious” to “holy wow” in seconds. Nipples: Light, teasing vibes on the nipples can feel deliciously electric—great for building arousal or mixing things up. Inner thighs and labia: These areas are super sensitive and often overlooked. A little vibration here can be a sensual warm-up or a soft landing after the main event. Penis shaft and perineum: Yep, bullet vibes aren’t just for vulvas. Use them externally along the underside of the penis or around the perineum (that spot between the genitals and the anus) to add extra zing to your pleasure sessions. Remember: there’s no “wrong” way to explore, just what feels good for you. Best Way to Use a Bullet Vibrator for External Stimulation Now for the how-to. Whether you’re dipping a toe into self-pleasure or adding something extra to partnered play, here’s the best way to use a bullet vibrator: Start slow: Begin with the lowest setting—seriously. Even the tiniest vibe can pack a punch, and letting your body ease into the sensation helps you stay connected to what feels good. Explore gently: Glide or tap the bullet around sensitive areas instead of pressing it directly against the skin right away. Let the anticipation build. Use lube: A good water-based lubricant makes everything feel smoother and can even enhance the vibrations. It’s a small step that makes a big difference. Try layering: If direct contact feels too intense, try using the vibe over underwear, your hand, or even a pillow as a buffer. Sometimes the softest touch is the most powerful. Tips for Comfort, Safety & Maximizing Pleasure Getting the most out of your bullet vibe isn’t just about where you use it—it’s also about how you treat it (and yourself). A few simple habits can make your pleasure sessions smoother, safer, and way more satisfying. 1. Lube Is Your Best Friend Water-based lubricant is a game-changer, especially when using a bullet vibrator on sensitive areas. It helps reduce friction, makes sensations feel even better, and protects your skin from irritation. Pro tip: Apply a little lube to both your body and the toy for maximum glide. 2. Keep It Clean (Literally) Before and after each use, give your bullet vibe a quick clean. Use warm water and a gentle, fragrance-free soap or a toy-safe cleanser. Make sure to rinse thoroughly and dry it with a lint-free cloth or let it air-dry before tucking it away. 3. Know Your Waterproof from Your Splashproof Here’s a fun fact that can save you from a toy tragedy: not all waterproof claims mean the same thing. Bullet vibes often come with an IPX rating, which tells you how water-resistant they really are. IPX6 = Splashproof: Safe for steamy bathroom play and a little rinse under the faucet, but keep it out of the tub. IPX7 = Waterproof: Fully submersible, like our best-selling Form 2 Pro. This one’s bath-time approved and ready to make a splash (literally). So before you take your vibe into the shower or bath, double-check its rating to avoid any heartbreak (or short-circuiting). 4. Listen to Your Body Take breaks. Shift gears. If something feels too intense or not quite right, pause and adjust. Pleasure should never feel like a performance—there’s no rush, no script, just you tuning into what feels good. 5. Store It Right Once clean and dry, store your bullet vibe in a cool, dry place. Many come with a storage pouch, so use it! Avoid tossing it loose in a drawer where it might collect dust. Now that you know how to use a bullet vibrator, what’re you waiting for?
