Two more weeks

[petrel]

two weeks on saturday ot the wedding and then I fly off on monday for 2 whole weeks on a greek island - yippee

Now I'm not just posting to make you all jealous - I have a legitimate BDSM quesiton.
What kind of toys/implements could we take with us that wouldn't overweigh our luggage or arouse suspicion at the airport?
I am taking a big pot of vaseline and I thought of getting one of those luggagge straps with a padlock on it but aside from that I'm a bit stuck really.
I do[\I] intend to get a copy of screw the roses to read while I'm away as I haven't yet read it.

I don't know much about what you can take through customs or airport security, so I can't answer that, but I hope you have a wonderful, romantic time.It sounds like a lovely vacation.

Wow! I don't think I'd be thinking of taking BDSM toys through an airport on an international flight with security what it is these days! I can see it now:

"Central, we have something here that looks like it could be c4 in the shape of a butt plug. Can you send the dogs over to give it a sniff? There's clothespins, ah there's also some sort of power supply - looks like it could be used as a detonator. Then again, she could just be real weird. I don't know what to make of it all. How do I know what a butt plug looks like? Don't ask."

Of dildos, buttplugs and other implements

Hi,

My husband and I recently went to Mexico from Canada. We packed:

1. Dildo with harness (leather of course)
2. Buttplugs
3. KY jelly
4. flavored condoms
5. vibrating eggs
6. vibrator

and of course our genitalia, shaving cream and various razors.

Never had a problem. They didn't even look at it. You must, however, put the instruments into your checked suitcase NOT your carryon luggage. Unless of course you are a submissive who is into humiliation big time. THEN you have your best toy with you at all times: your embarrassment!

Love

anniebug and spouse

Well I can truthfully say I am not jealous, cause I go to the UK in 24 days to see my love! I am taking two suitcases myself. I just pack everything among the clothing. I pack lube in with my cosmetics. I never take batteries, I buy them when I get to my destination.

As for the toys, I have never been searched but if I were, I would just tell them if asked.

"Miss, what to you call this?"
"It's a butt plug."
"And this?"
"It's a dildo."
Hey, I bet they have seen worse!

Ebony <Secretly hoping they will search my cases!>

I almost forgot... Have a great trip!

I'm with you on the "no shame," EbonyFire. I'm flying out early Sunday morning, and since hunny isn't coming too, I'm leaving most of our toys behind. A little packet of pina colada-flavored anal lube is in my carry-on bag, though, because ya never can tell when that stuff might come in handy.

 

[James Blandings]

I've had my toy bag opened at airports a couple of times, and it was no big deal. The inspectors just looked in, and passed it through, Now keep in mind these were on domestic US flights, and before September 11, but I never had any trouble.
I did have a friend who got quite a bit of hassle because he had a pair of handcuffs in his carry-on bag, so keep that in mind.

Enjoy your vacation!

 

[Shadowsdream]

I always travel with a full toy bag..from floggers to strap ons...I ALWAYS place the strap on on top of everything else...I have often had My carry on opened and enjoy the blushes of those inspecting My luggage.

My first trip into Sweden I was asked by the security gaurd how long I was staying..it was his dream of submitting!

 

[RisiaSkye]

I too have carried toys, and taken them in my carry-on bag, without problem. The only incident was when I mistakenly put the handcuffs in my carry-on --when we were leaving for our honeymoon! Even then, they just took them out, put them in a small box, and sent them through as luggage.

Of course, that was well before 9/11, so things may be tougher now. However, I would think that most anything you take in your regular luggage should be fine. If you're afraid of it being opened, I'd stick to leather or plastic, which is less likely to be spotted by the equipment and necessitate a search.

Congratulations, and have a great honeymoon!

Sorry, all my flying experience was pre-9/11, domestic US travel as well (here in the States, it's a big difference, I'm told; I don't know about customs or airport security in other parts of the world). My advice: "pervertibles". Everyday things that you can fairly easily make into or use as toys.

Congratulations!

"pervertibles" I like that. Clever, as always, Spectre.

checked luggage

I think that as long as your luggage can make the weight, you are safe. It is not against the law to carry sex toys. No one has tried to hyjack a plane with a dildo! If they search it, you will just be embarrassed or not depending on your makeup!

Exactly. I flew domestically after 9/11 with almost my kit and caboodle and they all were X-rayed, and I did not get even a snicker!

Ebony <who cannot be embarrassed>

 

[HotXBunz]

Best Wishes Petrel. I have no experience but would suggest packing what you want keeping in mind the new quidelines and if questioned just smile and say "Honeymooners".

 

[cymbidia]

All my flying has been done post-9/11, too, and like almost everyone else, i've carried a lot of BDSM gear on the plane with me - as well as checked it in my luggage.

If they open the bag and ask you what *this* thing is, simply smile warmly and tell them. I would feel sorry for someone who didn't know what a dildo was or needed an explanation for a flogger.

Remember: you have a right to pack and take anything that is not illegal. "Anything" includes sex toys.

Remember too: no one can humiliate you or make you feel small or wrong unless you allow them that kind of power over you. Draw from your core of strength and pride in yourselves, pack your kinkiest toys, and dare them to open your bags!

 

[SpectreT]

"pervertibles" I like that. Clever, as always, Spectre.

Wish I could take credit for it; It was in a couple of other threads; "Toy Bag" was one, can't remember the other, or even who first used it here; it may even be in the mother thread. I'm too lazy to go digging for it, though.

 

[petrel]

Thanks everyone - I don't intend to take masses of toys but was just feeling a bit leery of being questioned at the airport - after the wedding I shall want a nice smooth flight with no hassles like nasty guards etc etc.

Feel better now - you are right Cym, I do have a right to take what I want and not to be made to feel strange or humiliated by strangers because of my sexual preferences!!!

 

[DustyWolfe]

I've been wondering the same. I have a bag full of rope, chains, floggers, quirts, crops and etc. How do I get it back with me? Should I ship everything but the chains?

 

[petrel]

Hijacking my own thread to say that I won't be around much for the next month - earlier goodbye than planned due to unexpected robbery at my house taking the laptop, wedding rings, and lots of other stuff so I am writing this from work and hoping to get all th insurance and police sorted out before I go off to get married on saturday!!!

will stop by tommorrow to check thing out but only briefly

 

[lilfrk]

How horrible. I hope it all gets sorted out before your wedding.

Best Wishes~A

 

[SailorC272002]

Sorry to hear about your robbery. It really sucks.

Have a great wedding. I just went thru it with my daughter last weekend.

There is an incredible number of details right at the end isn't there and then to add the robbery, you just did not need that. Hope they catch the guy.

 

[WriterDom]

Remember: you have a right to pack and take anything that is not illegal. "Anything" includes sex toys.

Wondering if Alabama overturned their sex toy laws. I think it was just illegal to sell them there. But still, I wouldn't want to get pulled over in the middle of the night by some Alabama preacher working part time as a deputy and have him open my toy case.

"you in a heap of trouble, boy"

 

[CarolineOh]

Oh petrel, that's terrible, I am so sorry.

But on a happier note,all my best wishes on your wedding, and I hope you have many decades of happiness ahead of you both

 

[Ebonyfire]

It goes way back...

It goes way back farther than that. I first saw it used a couple of years ago when I was looking for a website where I could learn to make BDSM toys.
