Can you take sex toys in your hand luggage?

When you travel, you might want to take your favorite toys with you. But what about sex toys in your hand luggage? Is that allowed? We'll list it for you.

What can and cannot be taken in your hand luggage?

In general, sex toys are allowed in your hand luggage, as long as they do not contain any prohibited or dangerous parts (such as sharp edges, liquids over 100 ml or elements that could be seen as weapons).

Think about:

• Vibrators: yes, allowed
• Dildos: yes, allowed
• Lubricant: only in packages of max. 100 ml and in a transparent bag
• BDSM attributes such as handcuffs: usually allowed, but may raise questions during inspection

Does it still depend on the type of vibrator or dildo?

Yes, a little bit. The more conspicuous the toy, the greater the chance that security will say something about it. Especially larger toys or ones with metal parts can provoke extra checks. Small, discreet toys such as a mini vibrator or bullet vibrator are perfect for hand luggage.

Our tips?

Mini vibrator: super discreet and doesn't immediately look like a vibrator

Bullet vibrator Elemi : small, powerful and fits in your wallet

Does it differ per country or airline?

Yes, unfortunately. In most European countries and with most airlines, sex toys are not a problem, but in some countries (such as parts of the Middle East or Asia) stricter rules apply. There, toys can be confiscated or even lead to questions at customs.

So always check the rules of your destination and the airline you are flying with. Especially in conservative countries it is wise to put toys in your hold luggage, well packed and preferably without batteries*.

Can handcuffs also be taken along?

In principle yes, as long as they are soft, non-metallic handcuffs. Police handcuffs or items with sharp metal parts can be problematic. Be prepared for questions at security, and if in doubt, pack them in your checked baggage. Or, to be on the safe side, opt for handcuffs made of jute hemp or soft vegan leather .

Travel discreetly and stress-free

Want to avoid security questions? Opt for small toys that won’t immediately stand out. Our mini vibrators are ideal for hand luggage, even fit in a make-up bag and look so innocent they probably won’t raise an eyebrow.

Bonus: Our vibrators are designed so that they won't start vibrating in your bag, preventing awkward moments at security.

Have a safe flight

Yes, you can take sex toys in your hand luggage, but be smart, choose discreetly, and always check the rules of your destination. With a small vibrator like the one from Mini vibrator or the Elemi bullet allows you to travel without stress and with pleasure.

Have a nice flight!
