"A recent study by sexy toy brand Lelo found that 41 per cent of British men have used a sex toy and, according to Smile Makers, more women in the UK own a vibrator than a dishwasher. Still, the world isn't exactly stigma-free regarding pleasure products, and it's a reasonable request not to want attention drawn to your favourite toys."
"She recommends taking out removable batteries or running down rechargeable batteries before you travel (remember to bring a charger, though). "This will prevent it from accidentally 'turning on' in your luggage if it is bumped around," Sparks says. Some toys come with travel locks which keep it off unless you press a button for a certain amount of seconds. Of course, non-electronic toys circumvent this issue altogether."
"A fair warning before planning a trip with your toys: it's best to look up the laws of your destination. "There are countries such as Saudi Arabia, the Maldives, United Arab Emirates, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, and India where it is illegal to 'possess' or arrive into these countries with a sex toy," says Sparks. "If caught, you could spend time in prison.""
Sex toy ownership is widespread: 41% of British men have used one and more women in the UK own a vibrator than a dishwasher. Stigma around pleasure products persists, and many travelers prefer to avoid attention to their toys. Removing batteries or running down rechargeables, and using travel locks or non-electronic toys, can prevent accidental activation in luggage. Travelers should remember to bring chargers when draining batteries. Some countries—including Saudi Arabia, the Maldives, the United Arab Emirates, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, and India—prohibit possession of sex toys and can impose prison time. Quiet, discreet toys can reduce attention at security or on a nightstand.
