Sex Toys So Discreet You Can Take Them (Almost) Anywhere
If you’ve ever traveled with a sex toy, you may have endured the slightly awkward experience of TSA rifling through your bags—made even worse if your toy starts vibrating. But the scene isn’t uncommon for TSA: 80 percent of adult American women and 45 percent of adult men now own at least one sex toy.
Still, the world isn’t exactly stigma-free regarding pleasure products, and it’s a reasonable request not to want attention drawn to your favorite toys. Taylor Sparks is an erotic educator and founder of Organic Loven, the largest BIPOC-owned online intimacy shop. 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.”
Thankfully, we’ve come a long way in sex tech, and sex toys now come in all shapes and sizes. To ease your travel anxieties (or keep nosy in-laws at bay), we’ve rounded up 23 quiet and discreet sex toys that can make an appearance at TSA or on your nightstand without causing a stir.

Maude Vibe personal massager
The minimalist design of the Vibe works best for those who are looking for something simple and sleek—and makes it one of the most discreet sex toys on the list. The layout is straightforward, with one button for everything (including the travel lock). It also comes with a simple canvas travel pouch that almost looks like a pencil case, meaning you can bring it anywhere without judgmental looks. The Vibe has three different vibration modes and is water-resistant.
Dame Eva couples vibrator
This hands-free clitoral vibrator comes in three speeds and two colors. It was designed for couples or solo play and can stay in place during penetration. With an under-the-radar charging case, the hotel housekeeper will be none the wiser as you charge your toy.
Unbound Bender internal vibrator
If you're not in the market for multiple sex toys, the Bender just might be the best one for you. With 10 vibration speeds and patterns, this slender, flexible vibrator is versatile enough for internal stimulation, external stimulation, or both at the same time. It comes in mint green and soft pink, and is rechargeable and waterproof.
Lelo Dot
The Lelo Dot is a futuristic-looking external vibrator. One of its unique factors is the way that it silently moves in an elliptical shape rather than in a circle. The designers chose this to reduce the numbing that sometimes comes with other vibrators. Another fine feature is the slim tip, allowing you to pinpoint pleasure. The Dot is fully waterproof, has eight vibration patterns, and is rechargeable.
Zalo AYA wearable vibrator
This stealthy external vibrator has a magnet that allows you to secure it onto your undergarments for an all-day wearable experience. There’s also an included attachment that provides internal stimulation as well. AYA has remote control and app capabilities, making it a thrilling addition when traveling with (or without) a partner.
Tenga Bobble Magic Marbles sleeve
The vibrant colors of the Bobble Magic Marbles in this Tenga sleeve bring a fresh and fun approach to sex sleeves. The buttery soft texture is coupled with the dynamic sensations that come from the marbles, which continually shift with each stroke. It’s easy to pack and requires zero battery power to operate.
Deia Feather Tickler
This pretty little feather is great for all kinds of external stimulation anywhere you’d take a real feather, especially during foreplay. It charges with a USB-C cord and is waterproof. The silent motor has 10 vibration settings to explore, and it comes with a classy-looking charging case to keep it shielded from unwanted eyes.
Freya Vee Vibe kit
Who doesn’t love a multifunctional and discreet toy? The Vee Vibe is a stealthy vibrator that can be hung blatantly in your shower or thrown in with your toiletries when you’re on the go. Freya designed a five-blade razor with aloe and vitamin E for a smooth shave, but there’s a secret under it all. Hidden under the blade is a button that activates the handle as a rechargeable and water-resistant vibrator. It also has six vibration modes of varying intensities. Shave day is about to get much more interesting.
Hello Cake Stroker
The similarities between the Kong dog toy and the Hello Cake Stroker is one of its advantages—the toy is easy to conceal in plain sight. The Stroker is straightforward to use, too. Under the surface there are two different textures, ribbed and beaded, to bring increased sensations. The open-ended design also makes it easy to clean up with mild soap and water.
Kindred Black Duchess
Duchess is a fitting name for this luxurious handblown glass sex toy. Not only is it smooth, but Duchess is also a great option for temperature play, cooling and heating quickly. Because of its outer appearance, the Duchess easily passes as a crystal massage tool for shoulder and back tension. Slip it in any bag undetected and ease those tensions.
MysteryVibe Poco
Sextech is slowly taking over the sexual wellness industry, and this little vibrator is part of the movement. Poco is meant to mimic fingers and is a size that’s especially approachable for beginners. The toy has two different adjustment points, and for an even more customized experience, you can create your own vibrations with the MysteryVibe app. The vibrator is USB-chargeable as well.
Coco de Mer Seed
With dual motors and a rechargeable battery, the Seed has 10 vibration settings. It’s completely waterproof, and the external silicone toy doesn’t look like your average vibrator. Shaped as the Coco de Mer seed (the national fruit of Seychelles), the toy is meant to nestle right in as a clitoral vibrator. The sleek travel case also looks like a travel jewelry case, allowing you to stow it with your jewelry without raising suspicions.
Orion Vibepad
Another unique-looking toy is the Orion Vibepad. The 2022 German Design Award-nominated toy has two humps to increase stimulation, allowing you to sit and enjoy or ride the waves. It’s also remote-controlled, bringing in more opportunities for partner play. The Vibepad is USB-chargeable and waterproof with seven different vibration patterns.
Kiki de Montparnasse Etoile Bullet
An elevated version of the classic bullet vibrator, the Etoile Bullet is made with stainless steel and plated with gold for a luxurious touch. The Etoile is quiet and powerful, perfect for channeling your inner royalty in a private corner. The Etoile is water-resistant, comes with a satin travel pouch, and is rechargeable.
Zalo Baby Heart personal massager
The Baby Heart is innocuous-looking and can easily be passed off as a chunky keychain, but don’t let looks fool you. It’s powerful and equipped with Bluetooth technology that makes it fun for both couple and solo sessions. The 18-karat gold plating gives it an elevated touch of luxury, while the silent motor and rechargeable battery guarantee you can carry it anywhere.
Lora DiCarlo Tilt vibrating and warming plug
This versatile vibrator and plug was designed for all anatomy types, and the dual stimulating ends allow for plenty of hands-free fun. The Tilt has a built-in travel lock, which means you won’t have to drain its battery or worry about it turning on during travels. To make things better, the vibrator is self-warming and waterproof.
Chili Pepper Emojibator
This chili pepper vibrator is small, but it packs a big punch and offers plenty of variety with 10 different vibrations to choose from. While its appearance could easily be mistaken for a dog toy, its eye-catching flame-red body also means you won’t miss it when you’re rushing to check out by noon. The battery-operated toy is made of a waterproof, body-safe silicone; throw it in your carry-on or Dopp kit to add a little spice to your vacation.
If you’re looking for a different sensation, the Chickie vibrator is just as cute—it's meant for external or clitoral stimulation and offers a suction function as well.
Wildflower Enby 2
While many sex toys can be used by anyone on the gender spectrum, few are designed with everyone, no matter their body or gender, in mind. The Enby 2 is one such toy. Shaped like a stingray or fishtail, the Enby 2 can be used for grinding, rubbing, stroking, or it can be tucked into a harness. It comes in three vibration patterns and three speed settings. It’s also waterproof and rechargeable.
Princette Puppypus vibrator
An Octopus toy that’s waterproof and can vibrate? Yes, please. The Princette is a gender-inclusive sex toy, designed for external or internal stimulation. With five speeds and five vibration settings, the Princette’s strong suit is that it’s silent but deadly. Staying in a rental with friends or family? You won’t have to worry about masking the noise. (Though it's probably best to keep it out of sight of little ones, who may mistake it for a kids' toy.)
Crave Vesper
The Vesper is as chic as a sex toy can be, available in gold, rose gold, and silver. The sleek stainless steel vibrator is an external stimulator only, hanging on a long chain that doubles as a necklace, if you’re so bold. It comes with four speed settings and a USB charger. It also has a travel lock, ensuring it’ll stay off in transit, despite a bumpy ride.
Tenga Geo Coral
It’s no surprise that the Geo won the Red Dot Design Award for 2021. The sophisticated toy features intricate designs that offer a different sensation from the average stroker. This is another one of those sex toys that is so pretty it could stand alone as an art piece. Because it has no batteries, you can toss it in a tote, backpack, or suitcase without worry.
Iroha Temari Mizu vibrator
Iroha is known for its sleek designs, and the Temari is no different—the external vibrator has won a Red Dot award, with an artistic design that wouldn’t look out of place sitting on your hotel bathroom counter. The rechargeable vibrator comes with four speeds and two patterns. One unique feature is the reduced vibration transmission, meaning your hand won’t be rumbling along with the toy.
