Serious question, sex toy in hand luggage

javaprogs

Flying with Aer Lingus in a couple of weeks time. Is it ok to bring a sex toy in your hand luggage? I have looked online and some people say it's ok, others not. One forum I read said if it's bigger than 7 or 8 inches then it can be classed as a weapon 😳 luckily mine is smaller than that.

Has anyone had any problems with this?
Thanks.

Just make sure the batteries aren't in it.

Serious question, why do you need to bring it with you?

Probably for sexual purposes? The hint is in the name surely!

Why would anyone have a sex toy in hand luggage? Your hardly going to use in enroute?

Or you using a wheeled bag?

But so necessary that it has to come in hand luggage? Or on a trip that hand luggage only is sufficient for? Not sure how serious the OP actually is.

Weekend away might qualify?

Myself and an x girlfriend were stopped in Heathrow with handcuffs. We were only 18. Mortified. She had to explain what she was using them for. So funny. Anyway they were taken off us by the security guard. He probably tied up his wife that Night the dirty fecker.

A week away with the other half.
I meant my carry on luggage, yes a wheeled bag. Apologies, should have been clearer

Years ago my girlfriend left a small case at luggage hold in Connolly Station while we went about town for a couple of hours.


The looks she got when she was collecting her case




It was buzzing like crazy.
I swear to god above it was only an electric ladyshaver

Not sure whether a bad choice of words (or good) but if thats the case, technology has come a long way

Presumably because paying and extra 50 yoyo for a checked bag just so that they can have their preferred recreational tools at hand during a holiday seems OTT.

Seriously, most people going on a long weekend these days try hard (pun 100% deliberate) to avoid checked baggage.

Just surprised that it's an essential part of a holiday

I've done this plenty of times. Just take out the batteries and nobody will say a thing. I left the batteries in once in Manchester airport, I was taken aside into a small room so my entire bag could be emptied out and searched. They were very nice about it, I guess it must happen quite often, but my face has never been so red.

Ah feck, well there goes the romantic weekend away!

Thanks for all your replies We are going to Zagreb in Croatia if that makes any difference!

Nope won't be bringing any fart guns :P

Just bring it in your pocket and dump it into the tray at the security scanner along with your mobile, wallet etc. Don't break eye contact if the staff member looks at you.

If it was a dildo, then surely you could put it somewhere other than your hand luggage while going through security? Practice that walk first!

That would give everyone in the queue a serious show when you get stopped at the metal detector.

Could you not purchase a cucumber on arrival?

So he took YOUR handcuffs and he's the dirty fecker??

Serious point to the OP, to save any potential embarrassment at security, why not just buy a todge in Croatia to use and then leave it behind you? You won't have to look far in Zagreb.

Besides, think the of fun you will have (apart from the fun you will have) deciding what way to leave it embedded in the hotel room!

Very hard to find a battery powered ones, mains powered ones are just too clunky.

Serious Answer:
Phone the airline you're travelling with & ask them if it will be permitted.
