Let’s get one thing straight: It’s OK to fly with sex toys. Sometimes they might get inspected and you might have to answer directly if a TSA screener holds up your bag and asks if you have some personal items in there, and sometimes it’s a non-issue. To prepare for any eventuality, pack adult toys individually in clear plastic bags in your carry-on bag or checked luggage so they’re visible but stay clean if a baggage scanner gets curious.
What to expect when traveling with sex toys
While you’ll most likely fly through airport security with no issues, it pays to be prepared in case you encounter a screener who’s in the mood to do some low-level harrying. If you’re selected and don't want your toys on display for strangers, know that you can request a private screening (with a fellow traveler present, if you have one), at any point during the process. It's typically administered by someone of the same gender and all airports have private screening rooms for this purpose.
That said, the most travel-friendly sex toys don’t take up much room and won’t make you feel like a total deviant if you get searched. They’re smaller and multipurpose, with locks that prevent them from switching on in your bag. Ones made of silicone are a better option, being lighter than their stainless steel counterparts and not requiring the care that glass does. Finally, when it comes to rechargeable toys, ones made by the same brand may use compatible chargers, thereby reducing the number of cords you need to bring.
With this in mind, these are some of the best sex toys for travel.
1. Wearable toys for play on the way: We-Vibe Moxie and Bond
A discreet way to deliver controlled pleasure from afar, We-Vibe’s Moxie and Bond wearable vibrators can even be used for foreplay during travel.
Orgasms away from home can be some of the most memorable, but the slog of travel isn’t exactly arousing. That doesn’t mean it can’t be, though. When it’s about the journey, not the destination, the We-Vibe Moxie is a quiet, external mini vibrator designed for on-the-go wear. No need for a travel lock on this toy: It slips into fitted underwear and secures in place with a magnet on the other side of the fabric (once past the security checkpoint, that is). Then, you or a partner can control it with either the short-range handheld remote when you’re on opposite sides of an airport bar, or via We-Vibe’s We-Connect app when you’re on opposite sides of the country. Anyone used to direct stimulation from a Magic Wand or similar powerhouse turned all the way up might need something stronger to have an orgasm, but with the Moxie, the tease is part of the point.
For people with penises, the We-Vibe Bond is a wearable, adjustable, vibrating “stimulation” ring with similar capabilities as the Moxie. It isn’t any ol' cock ring: It’s designed to fasten around both the penis and testicles. Out of the box, it has a diameter of 35 millimeters (1.3 inches) but comes with an extension link for larger girths. The Bond has the same remote control options as the Moxie or on-the-go and/or long-distance play and both can be charged using the same charger (one at a time, of course).
The We-Vibe brand is beloved for making toys with rumbly motors that create low-pitch vibrations that hit deeper and are less likely to lead to numbness or over-stimulation compared to buzzier, high-pitched toys. As a result, the Moxie and Bond are surprisingly powerful for their small size; both can run for two hours on a 90-minute charge. They’re easy to care for, too: The bodies are silicone and waterproof.
For double the pleasure, these discreet sex toys are also available in combo sets (at a slight discount) of two Moxies or one each of a Moxie and Bond.
2. A multipurpose blindfold: Lovehoney’s Oh! Satin Blindfold
Titillate your body's five senses with this frisky satin blindfold from Lovehoney.
Traveling with an eye mask for air travel is so common that this sex toy won’t get a second look. Whether to play with sensory deprivation or just for a nap, Lovehoney’s Oh! Satin blindfold is soft, straightforward, and secured with elastic.
Available in black, red, or purple, the flat, uncontoured eye covering means the mask is just as comfortable to wear sitting upright or if mashed face-down on a pillow.
3. A motor-free external toy for grinding: Whim by Pelle
Pelle’s pillow-y silicone grinding toys are a packable and silent vibrator alternative.
Whether due to sensitivity, noise level, durability, or preferences, vibrators are not for everyone all the time, especially where travel is concerned. Enter Pelle’s grinding toys.
The Pelle Whim set comes with two double-sided toys for four different surfaces to grind against, along with the sides and ends. Each is about 3.5 inches long, 2.5 inches wide, and about 1 inch thick. The silicone is soft and squishy, and distributes sensations across the vulva with no motor and therefore no distracting sound. It also retains temperature, whether from body heat or from running under hot or cold water. The Whim set is waterproof and compatible with water-based lubes.
4. A luxe bullet that hides in plain sight: Crave Vesper
The Crave Vesper vibe doubles as a sleek pendant necklace, making it a discreet choice for spontaneous pleasure in public or post date-night.
When sex educators claim that a toy “doesn’t look like a sex toy,” they usually mean that it’s not overly large or obviously phallic and may come in aesthetically pleasing colors. The Crave Vesper bullet vibrator hides in plain sight as a pendant necklace, and while it may need to be removed for airport security screening, it’s also a genuinely great toy.
The Vesper’s 3-inch stainless steel body comes in shiny faux silver with or without a rose gold accent, or fully plated with 24K yellow gold (for a higher price). It dangles from a delicate removable 26-inch chain that hides the fact that it’s a vibrator from anyone not already in the know, as long as it’s worn with the power button facing inwards.
The metal means that the vibrations feel more rumbly than make sense from such a small toy, and the long, narrow design makes it easy to slip the Vesper between two bodies during sex. It can get a little slippery from lube, but leaving the Vesper on the chain offers another way to grasp it. It lasts 40 minutes on a single charge and comes with a proprietary charger, so don’t forget to pack that.
In addition to being a great travel sex toy, the Vesper would be a welcome accessory for a sex party or promising date. As it’s only splash-proof, not waterproof, take care not to submerge it in water when using it or wiping it clean.
5. A small, versatile lipstick vibe: Dame Kip
A modern version of the classic lipstick vibe, the Kip delivers external stimulation in a cosmetic-sized package.
The Kip vibrator from Dame Products is a fresh take on a lipstick vibe. Its small, packable size is slightly larger than the cosmetic product, with an angled, slightly cupped head, gently fluttering tip, and rounded triangular body. All three elements create different sensations for a versatile, discreet toy that can be locked so it doesn’t switch on in your bag.
The Kip isn’t the most powerful small vibrator on this list, but it has a graduated range of intensities, and what it lacks in sheer power, it more than makes up for with sensation. It runs quietly even on the highest of its four settings and is rechargeable via a proprietary Dame USB cable, delivering up to 1.5 hours of vibration on a 2.5-hour charge. The matte silicone is fully waterproof and easy to grasp, even when coated in silicone-safe, water-based lube.
6. A vibrator with more surface area: We-Vibe Touch X
The We-Vibe Touch X is a small but powerful vibrator that’s great for partnered or solo play.
Some crave a targeted pinpoint sensation, and some want something that covers more ground. Delivering a surprising amount of intensity in a small package, the palm-sized We-Vibe Touch X has a broad, slightly cupped tip that sends rumbly vibrations over a larger surface area, and its soft, velvety silicone body feels as good to the fingers as it does anywhere else.
Capable of running for up to two hours on a 90-minute charge, it has eight intensities, seven vibrating patterns, and a fully waterproof design. The Touch X is the 10-year anniversary update to the original Touch (still available), so for those who loved the original and want it in a new color with an easier-to-navigate user interface and a more streamlined charging port, it’s worth the upgrade. (Though the latter point means it can’t be charged with the same cord as the original Touch, the Touch X’s charging cable works with many of the other newer We-Vibe devices.) Both versions of the Touch feature a travel lock that ensures it won’t switch on automatically, though you’ll have to remember to check it, as it automatically deactivates when the device is recharged.
7. A silicone plug for choose-your-own penetration: Hole Punch Fluke
For those whose penetration desires vary, this gorgeous ombre silicone plug can be used anally or vaginally (with proper washing, of course).
With the silicone Fluke from Hole Punch Toys, there’s no need to choose between packing a dildo or an anal plug or make room for both in a crowded suitcase—it offers two options in one toy. And with no electronics, it may not trigger a bag search nor is there a charging cable to pack.
The Fluke has a flange that’s large enough to be anal-safe, and its 5.25 inches of insertable length narrows toward the base and flares out at the tip into a substantial body that’s 2 inches wide at the widest diameter. Its bulb-like head, including a noticeable ridge, nudges a G-spot or prostate. It’s fun to thrust with a hand but even more fun to clench around. It also stays put wherever you insert it—though if swapping locations, a thorough washing between is a must.
Because Hole Punch toys are small-batch and hand-poured, each Fluke might be slightly different from the product photos or have small seams where the two halves came together. Consider this a feature, not a bug. The Fluke comes in two-tone blue, yellow-orange, or pink-purple. Make sure to pack it with some travel-sized water-based lube.
8. A quiet “suction” vibe: The Womanizer Premium 2
Clitoral vibe lovers will love the varied “suction” on the Womanizer Premium 2, a luxe, effective substitute for oral stimulation.
In a sea of air-pressure “suction” clit toys, the Womanizer is the original with a thoughtful design that others try to emulate. The top-of-the-line Womanizer Premium 2 offers it all: rumbly sensations with 14 intensities and an autopilot feature that will switch randomly among them if desired. It also has a Smart Silence feature where the motor stops if moved away from the body, which is equally good for preventing overstimulation, preserving battery life, prolonging foreplay, or using in situations where interruptions may occur.
At 6 inches long and nearly 2 inches in diameter at its widest point, the Womanizer is larger than many of the other vibes on the list, but still small enough for packing in a carry-on bag. It’s covered in waterproof silicone, has a travel-lock setting, and lasts up to four hours on a two-hour charge from its own proprietary magnetic USB charger.
9. A powerful wand vibrator with a travel case: The Doxy Die Cast 3R
This wand vibrator packs powerful rumbles into a compact package and also doubles as a general body massager.
For living large on the go, pack the Doxy Die Cast 3R rechargeable wand vibrator, a super powerful massager that measures about a foot long by 1.75 inches in diameter. It’s partly made of die-cast aluminum, giving it a delicious weight that translates to some of the rumbliest vibrations out there. It also goes up to 9,000 revolutions per minute, or RPM (for context, the Magic Wand Rechargeable maxes out at 6,300 RPM).
The Doxy Die Cast 3R comes with a sleek silver metallic tube of a travel case, with one end unscrewing to reveal a compartment for the wand and another that conceals its charging cord. The case and travel lock keeps the vibrator from knocking around or potentially turning on in a suitcase. You don’t have to pack it in a checked bag, but it will take up some real estate in carry-on if you go that route—though its size is a worthy tradeoff, given how effective it can be for intimate purposes or even just easing out sore muscles from traveling The only potential flaw is its charge time: According to reviewers, four hours of charge time yields an hour of continuous play at its highest setting.
10. Discrete, disposable masturbation sleeves: Tenga Eggs
Tenga Eggs are travel-friendly, reusable sleeves for a quick masturbation sesh.
Many masturbation sleeves for penises come with bulky plastic tubes and require careful cleaning, making them less than ideal for travel. Tenga Eggs are made of latex-free, pliable elastomer lined with textured nubs. When packaged, they measure just 2 inches by 3 inches so they take up minimal space, and the super stretchy material is one size fits most.
An additional way to incorporate them into play: Stretch a Tenga egg around a wand-shaped vibrator like the Doxy for a way to change up the sensation without committing to attachments. The trick is to turn a (clean) Tenga Egg inside out before slipping it over the head of the wand. The elastomer will add some squish and change up the surface texture.
If you’re flying with a Tenga Egg, note that inside the egg packaging and sleeve, there’s a small packet of lube that, though less than 3 ounces, might trigger curiosity on the airport scanner. And while it’s possible to wash them for more than one use, it’s not recommended, as elastomer is porous and can harbor bacteria.
11. Travel-sized lube: Sliquid organic lube cube
Avoid going over your liquid limit with a full-sized tube of lube by packing the packets in Sliquid’s organic lube cube instead.
Sliquid is known for making quality, straightforward lubes without questionable ingredients. The tiny packets in the Sliquid organic lube cube deliver portable doses of moisture and flavor to complement any toy or activity—without risk of going over your liquid allotment.
With a total of 12 packets, this lube cube includes cushion-y Sliquid Sassy, a water-based anal favorite that’s silicone-safe; the thinner, water-based Sliquid H20 for use with any silicone toys; the long-lasting, silicone-based Sliquid Silver for sex in the shower or pool; and a few flavored lubes for oral endeavors. All are glycerin- and paraben-free.
12. Restraints that won’t set off the metal detector: Sex Ties and Bondage Tape
Stash a roll of PVC tape in your bag for impromptu bondage on the road.
For S&M lovers who don’t want to travel with a favorite rope or bulky restraints, bondage tape is inexpensive, lightweight, and easy to toss into a bag. Plus, on an X-ray scanner (and to the non-discerning eye), it just looks like a regular roll of tape. Sex Ties and Bondage Tape sticks only to itself—not skin—and is made of shiny PVC and measures 2 inches wide and 20 meters (over 65 feet) long.
In addition to bondage, it can be used as a blindfold or to “wear” as a latex-look outfit for a partner to remove later. It’s reusable, too—just plan ahead by checking scissors or asking to borrow a pair from the hotel concierge.
