As someone who has been to numerous trade shows over the years, I often travel with sex toys and small lubricant bottles in my suitcase. I long ago got over the embarrassment of having an agent open my suitcase and exclaim over the large number of toys in the bag. Although I do still get a tad embarrassed when a toy will start vibrating on its own when it’s in the overhead!

Which brings us to the number one rule of traveling with sex toys: take the batteries out! Or, if it’s a rechargeable toy, activate the travel lock. Most rechargeable toys have one but every toy unfortunately has a different method of activating and deactivating them. When in doubt, look at the manual or simply Google it but trust me – you’ll want to lock your toys before travel if only to save on the battery life!

I am a big believer in never checking a bag so before hopping on any flight I make sure everything I bring confirms to every state and country rule. Here’s my packing checklist:

Essential Packing Checklist:

1. Storage Solutions
