It depends on the country and its laws about adult toys and sex work. Yes, there are some countries where sex toys are banned. So, before you pack your toy, it would be wise to check whether it is legal there or not. Besides, some airlines may have extra rules too.

CARRY-ON OR CHECKED BAG?

If you are traveling to or from the US, the TSA site states that vibrators are fine for both carry-on and checked baggage. The Canadian Air Transport Security Authority permits that lithium batteries inside devices may be brought both in carry-on and checked baggage if the battery is under a certain power level, and in fact, vibrator batteries are under that level.

SEX WORK LAWS

Selling sex can have legal consequences that might affect your safety, mainly when you are carrying sex-related materials while traveling. For instance, even the suspicion of a person being a sex worker while crossing the border from Canada to the US can mean the denial of the person's entry. So if you have even once been engaged in the selling of sex, beware when traveling with sex toys, as they may raise suspicion to you. You should first carefully check the sex work and travel laws of the countries between which you are traveling.

MENTALLY PREPARE

A lot of people put their sex toys in their carry-on baggage to keep the pricey item from getting lost with the checked luggage that is sometimes misplaced or for easy access. In case this is you, be ready for the possibility that a security agent may see and even touch your toys. Such items may be scrutinized on monitors for looking suspicious (e.g. suspected as an improvised explosive device) or a toy may be flagged just because the security agents do not know what it is. When the agents handle your toys, you should pack them in clear plastic bags for hygiene purposes. And just so you know, airport security guys have seen everything.

DO YOU HEAR THAT BUZZING?

There are quite a few companies that choose to make their devices rechargeable, but the battery can't be taken out at all. That's when the travel lock becomes necessary. In fact, the travel lock is a feature that allows the vibrator to remain off even if the buttons are accidentally pressed. So, it practically eliminates the risk of your bag buzzing without any explanation, which can mean rather embarrassing situations. The painstaking alternative is to ensure that the toy is completely out of battery while traveling, then you charge it when you get there, and go on with the battery drain before you travel again. Some toys actually come with a travel lock activated right out of the box, so if you find that your toy doesn't switch on after the first charge, this might be the reason.

It may be difficult to locate the information about activating and deactivating travel locks online. Still,
