Little help

[ender1818]

So the sub and I are heading on a vacation overseas. Can't take our ropes and toys due to customs, but want to have some fun on our trip.

What have you used that looks "normal" for ropes and toys?

If you have any ideas on what to do for fun, while being at a "family friendly" place feel free to comment!

Having just traveled to Hawaii, we were able to take Kitten's favorite toy, just separated the components between bags. Also for ropes and the such, those fabric belts that you sometimes see on cargo shorts would work very well. Hope this helps.

Men's ties, silk scarves, the belt part from a robe all work well.

Seriously, you can't take rope? Where in the heck are you travelling to?

S and I have gone up and down across the border a bunch of times with toys in the bags (and stuff that will show up on the scanner) without so much as a second glance from TSA.

Not so innocent things.

Soft cotton rope, ties and scarves have been mentioned already.

An airline sleep mask and noise cancelling head phones are fine.

Two lengths of stout dowel, as long as will fit along the bottom of the case, are odd but innocuous and a bag or box of screw eyes tucked in elsewhere are fine: put these together and you have arm and leg restraints. If you attach screw joints to one end of four dowel rods you can construct arm and leg spreaders.

Shoelaces, good for tying big toes together or lace then between the toes to bind someone's feel together sole to sole. Do it right and it keeps their knees wide apart.

For spanking; wooden spoons, fly swatters, belts, slippers, flip-flops, even a wet towel or a frayed tie end can deliver agony. A plastic flexible curve with a metal core (used for drawing curves) can deliver an awesome sting.

Insertables; lots of everyday things have interesting handles and if you use hair brushes with really stiff bristles it makes walking really interesting. Check they are non toxic or cover them with condoms. If you have a DSLR camera an air puffer in your camera bag should not ruffle feathers if it is not too fancy. Finally there cannot be an security person in the world that does know and totally ignore a rabbit vibrator when they see one.

I'm not sure about "one of the most creative people on this planet," but creative and thought-filled, for sure. A fantastic first post!

Welcome, Gretchen, to BDSM Talk (and Talk's lighter-minded little sister, the BDSM Café)! I have a feeling you're going to be a splendid addition to our corps!

Dental floss works very well for restraints and is absolutely not ever going to be questioned by any inquisitive TSA or customs folks. And if you use mint-flavored floss, there is a tiny hint of pain when it's in contact with tender moist surfaces.

Sometimes the mind is a marvel to behold.

I never go anywhere without a roll of gaffer tape

I don't care what some high-school dropout with a TSA badge thinks. It's not like we're talking guns and knives, here.

It's not their attitudes that give concern. Rather, it's their capacity to make people miss planes, confiscate personal property simply on the basis of suspicion, and the general unavailability of any means of timely redress that give these and others pause when they travel.

Quote. I don't care what some high-school dropout with a TSA badge thinks. It's not like we're talking guns and knives, here.

Please. Ender wants advice, not a critique of high school dropouts with TSA badges. I got stopped for carrying a set of allen keys in my hand luggage.

PS I missed:

Clingfilm (might be Saran wrap where you are)

Clothes pegs or pins (wood is better than plastic). if you drill a small hole in the end and take a ball of string you can hand weights (pebbles or stones) from them!

Candles

Ice can be fun too. Oddly the palms of your hands are particularly susceptible and a bikini bottom or shorts look particularly embarrassing after a small ice cube has melted in the right spot.

 

[KoPilot]

Well, that's why we don't put the crops, handcuffs, paddles, gags, and collar in the carry-on.

Seriously, TSA couldn't give a crap about what's in checked luggage.

You know...bestiegirls, when every post is also a link to a strange web site, that's against the rules. Oh, Mods...

A loooong time ago, I stupidly carried a vibrator in my carry on luggage , thinking that it would somehow be better than in my checked in luggage. It was fine everywhere except for LAX, where I had a very awkward situation at the security screening area!
