Now that we are through Babeland's holiday season (essentially Thanksgiving through Valentine's), many of our staff are eager to take trips, vacations and time away from our desks and the store. And, of course, we take our favorite toys with us!Traveling through airport security with sex toys is always an enjoyable adventure in my experience. In general, the male TSA agents tend to be really friendly, even recognizing the Babeland brand in my home airport. I have found the TSA women to be all business, and really resistant to learning a thing or two about the cool personal electronics showing on the x-ray screen. But I'm a sex educator, so that's my baggage...If you are nervous about being outed with your favorite vibe or lube, I suggest toys that travel more incognitio. The
Lipstick Vibe,
Chic Vibe and
Discretion are all variations on cosmetics design and are very discreet.
Pink lube looks like a perfume bottle, while our
Ducky is a waterproof tub toy and so much more. You can even find a few discreet toys on sale:
Secret Agent and
Stowaway.The best travel tip I've heard: take the batteries out before packing so your toys don't go off and pose a security threat. And don't wear your
Teardrop or
Jaguar through the metal detector.
