I was at the airport recently for a business trip, and I noticed something strange. Can you take dildos on a plane? It was a question that had been bugging me ever since I saw them in a joke shop in the mall. Well, after doing some research, I now know the answer is, vibrators yes.
When I heard this, I was slightly shocked. After all, a dildo is essentially an adult toy. That means it can technically be seen as something ‘inappropriate’. But surprisingly enough, dildos – in certain sizes and shapes – are allowed on planes.
This didn’t just make me giggle at the airport counter. It made me think: just how risky is it to take a dildo with you on a flight? Before making any rash decisions, I decided to dig up more information.
Fortunately, it turns out that bringing a dildo on a plane isn’t as crazy as it sounds. First and foremost, remember that all dildos must be securely wrapped and placed in a sealed bag. Secondly, whatever size and shape the dildo has must comply with the TSA’s 3-1-1 Rule. Thirdly, whatever you’re packing must fit snugly in your carry-on bag or your checked luggage.
At this point, I felt a bit more reassured. But even though I knew almost everything there was to know about taking a dildo on a plane, I still wanted some clarification. So, I gave the TSA a call.
To my delight, their representative was both helpful and friendly. He explained in depth that the size of the dildo mustn’t exceed 7 inches and it must be non-metallic, non-hazardous and sealed. With a sigh of relief, I hung up the phone.
Getting a little bit more confident, I started researching airports and airlines that have exempt dildos from their restrictions. It was during this research that I found out you can not take a realistic dildo on a plane. This is due to the fact that it could be mistaken for a weapon.
After learning all this valuable info about taking a dildo on a plane, I’m no longer skeptical. Well, as long as you abide by the set regulations, of course. Now I’m more than eager to take my next business trip because I know that nothing will stand between me and that classic vibrator!
