The Best Travel-Friendly Sex Toys for Gay Men

    The Best Travel-Friendly Sex Toys for Gay Men

    A handy travel guide for you and your toys

    Travel is a great way of expanding your horizons, and let’s be honest: it’s also a great way to get laid. If you’re single and traveling to a new city, you’re probably open to meeting a handsome stranger. You’re suddenly the fresh face on Grindr and the locals want a piece.

    For some gay men, having the right toys is essential to facilitating satisfying encounters. But if you’re traveling, you might not feel comfortable bringing your entire playroom with you. Here are the best sex toys you can pack, relatively discretely, in your luggage.

    1. Compact and Discreet Dildos

    Dildos are a go-to toy for many, and there are plenty of compact options ideal for travel. When looking for a travel-friendly dildo, size is important—something small and flexible that can easily fit into your luggage without raising eyebrows. Silicone dildos are ideal because they are body-safe, easy to clean, and lightweight.

    Recommended Product:

    • Tantus Neo Silicone Dildo (Small)
      This silicone dildo is compact, body-safe, and comes with a storage bag. It's easy to clean and discreet enough to pack in a small travel bag.

    2. Vibrating Butt Plugs

    For those who want to elevate their pleasure during travel, a vibrating butt plug can be a great companion: it won’t cancel on you after you’ve douched. The key is to choose a rechargeable, compact plug that won’t take up much space. Many come with travel-lock features, so you don’t need to worry about unwanted vibrations in your suitcase.

    Recommended Product:

    • b-Vibe Snug Plug 1
      This weighted plug is designed for comfort and prolonged wear, offering a discreet option for travel with its compact size. It’s also silicone and comes with a travel pouch, making it easy to carry in your luggage.

    3. Prostate Massagers

    Prostate massagers provide targeted stimulation, and many are small enough to be ideal travel companions. Wireless options with remote controls are particularly useful for discreet play. Just make sure the toy has a travel-lock function.

    Recommended Product:

    • Nexus Revo Slim Prostate Massager
      This rechargeable, travel-sized prostate massager comes with a remote control and a travel pouch. It's perfect for those looking for a compact yet powerful option while away from home.

    4. Cock Rings

    Cock rings are excellent for solo or partner play and come in a variety of materials like silicone, metal, and leather. They’re small, lightweight, and easy to clean, making them perfect for travel. Some vibrating cock rings can also double as massagers. You can use alternatives if you don’t have shop bought cock rings (hello wrapped up condom!).

    Recommended Product:

    • Tenga Smart Vibe Ring
      This vibrating cock ring is USB-rechargeable, compact, and travel-safe. Its sleek design is discreet, and it comes in a small storage bag that’s easy to tuck into your luggage.

    5. Travel-Friendly Lubricants

    No sex toy collection is complete without lubricant. When traveling, it’s important to bring TSA-approved bottles under 100ml, so they pass through airport security without any issues. Water-based lubes are typically the safest option for avoiding stains on hotel sheets and are compatible with all toys. This is probably the most important sex aid you can bring on your travels. Check out our full guide to traveling with lube.

      This lube is available in small, travel-friendly bottles and is ideal for all sex toys. It’s non-staining, easy to clean, and body-safe, making it a must-pack for any trip.

    6. Portable Masturbators

    For solo play, portable masturbators are an excellent option. They are designed for discretion and portability, allowing for easy packing. Look for models that are easy to clean and come with a storage case or bag to keep things neat.

    Recommended Product:

    • Tenga Egg
      The Tenga Egg is a pocket-sized masturbator that’s incredibly discreet and easy to use. It comes in a hard case and is designed for single use, although it can be cleaned and reused.

    7. Discreet Storage Bags

    Keeping your toys discreet and secure is key while traveling. Look for travel-friendly storage solutions like pouches or cases that offer privacy and protection. Many sex toy brands include travel bags.

    Recommended Product:

    • Lovehoney Lockable Sex Toy Case
      This discreet, lockable case offers space for multiple toys and is perfect for keeping your items private and organized while on the go.

    Travel Tips for Sex Toys

    When packing sex toys for travel, there are a few things to keep in mind:

    • TSA Guidelines: Make sure all liquids (like lubricants) are under 100ml to comply with airport regulations. Most TSA agents won’t bat an eye at sex toys, but it’s always a good idea to keep them in carry-on luggage for easy access if needed.

    • Discreet Packaging: Choose toys that come with travel cases or bags, and keep everything clean and organized in your luggage.

    • Rechargeable Options: Avoid dealing with extra batteries by packing USB-rechargeable toys. Many hotels have USB outlets for easy charging.

    • Non-Staining Materials: Opt for silicone toys and water-based lubes, which are easy to clean and won’t leave residue on hotel sheets.
