Well travelled ‘toys’
Maybe you are planning a romantic weekend, or possibly, you are going on a long business trip. Perhaps you are flying off on your Honeymoon or maybe you’ve rented a gorgeous chalet in the snow? Wherever you are jet-setting off to – make sure that you pack your adult toys well to avoid any embarrassing (and possibly very public) situations.
So, how do you go about packing adult toys? Firstly, you need to remove the batteries. Even though you may think that your vibrator is difficult to turn on, a little shift in the contents of your luggage could easily knock the control to the ON position. You really don’t want to explain vibrating luggage to security personnel or customs officers. Dildos are less of a problem in this respect as they are usually made of silicone / jelly / rubber and have no metal or mechanical parts.
Place your dildos or vibrators in clear plastic baggies. Airport personnel routinely check-through passengers’ luggage so if you’re chosen at random for a luggage inspection, you’ll be glad your toys are zip-locked away. Customs staff always wear plastic gloves, but you really don’t want their gloves, which have been touching everyone else’s personal items, to touch your intimate toys too. Do the airport staff and yourself a huge favour and place each item in a clear plastic zip baggie to keep everything hygienic.
Always be sure to place your vibrators in your checked luggage. This just removes you from the situation a little bit. If you bring a vibrator in your carry-on luggage, you are practically asking for an embarrassing situation to occur.
Bear in mind also that vibrators are not permitted in certain countries – especially if they are shaped like a phallus. If you take one in your checked-in luggage – you may have to go through the red channel and declare it – and it may be confiscated. One such country where ‘obscene items’ are illegal is Thailand. There, you might get away with importing a traditional slimline vibrator and pass it off as a ‘massager’ for your bad back – however, if your vibe is penis-shaped, expect that it will be confiscated!
In the USA, Texan customs officers will not be sympathetic if you arrive with a suitcase full of vibes – to own more than three such ‘marital aids’ is currently illegal in that state. So do a quick Google check of what the laws are in the state or country you are travelling to.
Finally, don’t travel with your favourite vibe or with your top of the range most-expensive toy. It is best that you take along an inexpensive alternative or buy something completely new especially for the trip. At sites like LoveTheRabbit.com you’ll find many pearl rabbit articles, information, raves and reviews and links to stores that stock them.
This way, if your luggage is lost, or your strap-on dildo confiscated or if your vibe breaks in transit – you will not have lost your favourite ‘friend’ or your most expensive toy. Bon voyage!
