Sex toys on vacation: 5 travel-friendly favorites to pack

Can you bring a sex toy in your carry-on? Yes, in most cases, it’s perfectly fine to travel with vibrators and other sex toys, as long as you think about batteries, travel locks, and liquids. Because the last thing you want on vacation is for your vibrator to come to life in your bag - or for the lube to be left behind at security.

We’ve made the packing list for you. Here are five things worth making room for in your suitcase when you want to make your vacation even more enjoyable.

1. A small vibrator with a travel lock

You don’t need to fill your entire toiletry bag with sex toys just because you’re going away. Often, a compact vibrator that’s easy to pack, discreet to store, and easy to charge is more than enough.

We recommend choosing a small vibrator with a travel lock to reduce the risk of it turning on in your bag and draining the battery before you’ve even checked in at the hotel. A mini vibrator or lipstick vibrator takes up minimal space but can still deliver plenty of power when the relaxed vacation mood sets in.

Keep in mind: Check how the product is charged before departure and always activate the travel lock before packing it.

2. A waterproof vibrator for showers, baths, and lazy evenings

If your trip includes sun, beaches, and hotel pools, a water-resistant toy is an obvious choice. It can join you in the shower, be used during a relaxing bath, or simply be easier to clean after use.

A waterproof vibrator is therefore a smart vacation companion. Look for a model explicitly marked as waterproof and always follow the product’s instructions regarding use in water.

It doesn’t have to be the largest or most advanced toy in your collection. When traveling, the one that’s simple, durable, and ready whenever desire strikes often wins.

3. Lube in the right format

Lube is easy to forget at home and surprisingly difficult to replace when you need it. The hotel’s small shop rarely has exactly what you’re looking for, and you may not always want to take a chance on a product whose ingredients list you can’t read.

So bring lube from home. If you’re traveling by air and want to keep it in your carry-on, the container may hold no more than 100 ml. Pack it in a sealed bag or choose a smaller pump bottle that won’t risk leaking onto the rest of the contents in your bag.

Water-based lube works with all types of sex toys and is a safe choice when traveling. Silicone-based lube often lasts longer and works well in water, but generally shouldn’t be used with silicone sex toys unless the product’s instructions say otherwise.

4. Something you can enjoy together

Vacation often means more time, less stress, and considerably fewer obligations than at home. That makes a trip the perfect opportunity to explore something new together.

A couples' vibrator or remote-controlled vibrator can make an evening at the hotel a little more exciting. Choose a model that’s easy to use, discreet in size, and doesn’t require a lengthy introduction before the fun can begin.

An app-controlled or remote-controlled model is especially suitable when you want to play with anticipation, whether you’re on opposite sides of the hotel room or want to surprise each other during an evening alone together.

5. Cleaning supplies that don’t take up space

Cleaning may not be the first thing you fantasize about when planning your vacation, but it’s an important part of traveling with sex toys. A small cleaning spray or cleaning wipes take up almost no space and make it easier to keep your products fresh throughout the trip.

This is especially practical when the hotel bathroom is small, your trip includes several stops, or you simply want to be able to pack the toy away again without hassle.

Packing tip: Store sex toys and cleaning supplies in a separate small bag in your luggage. It’s discreet, hygienic, and makes it easier to find everything when you need it.

Can you bring a sex toy in your carry-on?

A sex toy is normally no problem to bring on a flight, but it’s wise to pack smart. Activate the travel lock if the product has one, turn it off properly, and check your airline’s battery regulations before departure.

Lube and other liquid products are subject to the rules for liquids in carry-on luggage. At Swedish airports, each liquid container may hold no more than 100 ml. However, how liquids and electronics must be presented at security can vary depending on the airport and terminal.

In other words: you don’t have to leave pleasure at home. Pack thoughtfully, choose travel-friendly favorites, and let the vacation take care of the rest.
