Your sex toys will appear on x-rays in your hand luggage or your checked luggage. It security&#8217;s job to find everything in your bag, but they don&#8217;t care about what they find unless it&#8217;s potentially dangerous.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That saying about how they\u2019ve seen it all before? It\u2019s true. There is very little you could be carrying that would shock or surprise them. Just be upfront with them if you\u2019re asked about it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your sex toys are electric, then they will set off metal detectors, so don\u2019t try to hide it by walking through with it. Put it in your hand luggage and go through security like normal. If you have a checked luggage, even better to place it in there.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What About Countries Where Sex Toys Are Banned?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In areas like the Middle East, it\u2019s illegal to bring sex toys into the country.
