...that should be a band.


anyways...i'm going to france for 4 months at the end of august. i'm wondering if anyone here has taken their vibe with them overseas? would they confiscate it as a WMD or something, or if i store it in my checked baggage would i still have it when i land in paris?


thanks for the help!

just take out the batteries, or if they're not removable, find some way to lock it or ensure it won't be turned on by accident somehow. you might want to put them in your checked baggage if it's not your typical-shaped vibe (like a ducky vibe or something like the cone), otherwise it's really nothing new.

flew a few times with a vibe - latest was a month ago SF <-> LA, and I had a few toys in my checked luggage and it was all fine. I put them in a big plastic ziplock bag labelled "sex toys" because I didn't want the baggage screening people to wonder what they are, and I usually clean it regardless after coming from the airport because you never know who might have opened it for inspection.

I found this link once, maybe it might help you with your situation: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/g/a/2007/06/14/violetblue.DTL
