From getting your vibrator through security to the best spots for a sexy weekend away OhMy!Gasm provides the best tips for your pleasure to reach new heights.
Ready for a weekend of wanderlust? Whether you’re jetting off for a solo escape, a romantic retreat with your partner, or a wild weekend with friends, don’t forget to pack your most essential travel companion: your vibrator, for the truly good vibes.
Here’s how to travel with your favourite toy (without awkward security moments) and our top picks for the sexiest destinations to let your hair—and inhibitions—down.
Getting through security: How to pack your vibrator
Let’s start with the practical stuff. Yes, you can absolutely bring your vibrator with you when travelling, in-fact we would recommend that you do, but a little planning goes a long way.
1. Choose the right toy
Small, discreet toys like bullet vibes, suction stimulators, and sleek wands are ideal for travel. Bonus points if they’re quiet - for obvious reasons…
2. Carry-on or checked luggage?
Carry-on is fine - but be prepared. If your bag gets pulled aside for inspection, your toy might get a surprise reveal. Most security staff have seen it all before, but if you're shy, consider popping it into your checked luggage (just pad it well).
3. Bag it or lock it
Place your toy in a soft pouch, toiletry bag or if in your hand luggage even a clear bag so if it gets pulled out security can see what it is. If it does get pulled out, don’t be embarrassed - you won't be the first to travel with a vibrator and you definitely won’t be the last. A little label like Once through, place in a travel lock or a privacy case to avoid accidental buzzing at 30,000 feet.
4. Remove batteries or use travel lock mode
If your toy has batteries or a button that’s a little too eager, remove the batteries or activate travel lock mode. There’s nothing worse than your suitcase having a party without you.
5. Don’t forget the charger
No charge = no climax. Pack the charger, or a universal USB cable if your toy uses one. And don’t forget a travel adaptor if you're going abroad.
Top destinations for a sex-positive weekend away
If you’ve packed your favourite toy ready to travel but haven’t yet got a destination in mind. We’ve pulled together some of our top picks for a sex-positive, and hopefully pleasure-fuelled weekend away:
Barcelona, Spain
Barcelona is the kind of city that gets under your skin. You can start the day wandering the narrow Gothic Quarter streets, then soak up some sun and do some people-watching at Barceloneta Beach. The fashion is fiery, and the rooftop bars ooze sunset seduction.
Want to turn up the heat? If you’re travelling as a two, book a couple’s massage at a local hammam, then head to a sensual tapas tasting tour. Finish with cocktails at somewhere like Galileo
Berlin, Germany
Berlin is famed for its artistic culture and open-mindedness. It’s a city that doesn’t care who you are or what you’re into. It’s bold, raw, and beautifully uninhibited. Whether you're curious, kinky, queer, or just a little wild, Berlin has space for your desires.
By day, explore Berlin’s artsy Kreuzberg district and grab brunch in a cafe full of tattoos and techno. By night? Choose your adventure whether it’s dancing till sunrise at Berghain (if you can get in that is), or checking out one of the city’s infamous fetish-friendly venues like KitKat Club where leather, lace, and lust come out to play.
Bath, UK
Looking to immerse yourself in a regency-style weekend, maybe role-play some Bridgerton-style desires. Not every sexy getaway has to involve jet lag. Bath offers a UK-based weekend with serious sensual potential. It’s all rolling hills, honey-coloured stone, and that old-school Bridgerton-esque charm but with modern indulgence.
Spend the day soaking in the natural thermal waters of Thermae Bath Spa, then grab a room at a Georgian townhouse hotel for a moody, candlelit evening. Enjoy some lazy room service, a bit of champagne, and your favourite toy for some solo or partner play.
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Amsterdam is the ultimate playground for pleasure-seekers. Start your weekend with a bike ride along the canals if you’re after some more traditional cardio, then spend the afternoon exploring the Erotic Museum or Sex Museum.
For couples, the Red Light District isn’t just for show, it’s a fascinating look at sex positivity and empowerment. Head to a burlesque show, try a romantic dinner at Roux or book a boudoir photo shoot together.
Paris, France
There’s a reason Paris is named the city of love. It’s not just the croissants and the view of the Eiffel Tower (though that certainly helps set the scene). It’s the slow pace, the lingering glances, the effortlessly chic style.
Pigalle is Paris’s historic red-light district, best known for its nightclubs and sex shops and the famous Moulin Rouge with its neon lights and red windmill. Looking to experience a Michelin-star meal, head to Le Pantruche for a classic French dining experience. After dinner? Head back to your hotel and watch the city sparkle while giving yourself a little sparkle too.

Where not to pack your vibrator: Countries with sex toy bans
While most of Europe and North America are vibe-friendly, some destinations have strict laws about sex toys. To avoid awkward (or illegal) run-ins at customs, skip packing your toy if you're heading to:
-
United Arab Emirates (UAE) – Vibrators can be classified as obscene materials and may be confiscated.
- India – Selling or possessing sex toys can fall under "obscenity" laws (though enforcement varies).
- Malaysia – Sex toys are considered illegal under obscenity laws.
- Thailand – Despite its nightlife reputation, sex toys are technically banned and could be seized at customs.
- Vietnam – Importing sex toys is not allowed, and you could be questioned.
-
Saudi Arabia – Extremely strict laws; do not attempt to bring sex toys here.
Pro tip: When in doubt, research your destination’s customs laws—or leave the toy at home and opt for in-person pleasures instead.
Bonus tips for a naughty weekend away
-
Bring lube: A travel-sized bottle of body-safe lube = smooth sailing. Look for silicone if you’ll be in water (hello, hotel hot tubs).
-
Try something new: A mini-break is the perfect excuse to try a new toy or kink. Hotel beds were made for adventure.
- Pack confidence: Whether you’re flying solo or turning up the heat with someone else, your pleasure is the priority. Own it.
