A question to the Over 18's here- regarding US travel

in Overseas holidays & travel planning
I'm in the process of arranging my US trip. Planning to meet up with my OH( who is already there) in NY next week. I had got a dildo for her B'day ( no comments please) and was wondering if it was ok for me to travel with it in my checked-in luggage?

Is there any laws which restricts taking sex toys to US?

thanks for any suggetions and advice

    Classy present! :confused:

    No, there are no restrictions on carrying sex toys in your hold luggage.
    Gone ... or have I?

    Please take it in your hand luggage.

    It will be funnier.

    Will be far less embarrasing for a single guy to Buy one in New York (and cheaper)than to stroll through UK Security and US Customs but each to there own ...was going to say have fun but I am sure you will ;)

    Unless she decides that the toy is more fun than him! ;)

    I usually carry a v discrete vibe in my hand luggage, and have never been stopped. A girl gets lonely on her own! :p

    I stopped some fella from amsterdam once and I found a butt plug in his wash bag, he was a bit taken a back when I told him it was disgusting, he got the hump and then I explained it wasnt the butt plug I had a problem with it was that it was in the same bag as his toothbrush, ooooh i could tell ya some vibe stories but i try and protect the innocent'ish

    the problem is I have already got a nice one -as part of my shopping for her.
    so it's matter of whether I take it or not when I travel t the US.

    I'm sure they've seen it all before. Put it in your checked luggage and make sure you remove any batteries. Also i'd recommend an external clitoral stimulator over a dildo anyday unless your a single girl of course!

    they don't have batteries do they? I thought that was vibrators?
    Remember the time he ate my goldfish? And you lied and said I never had goldfish. Then why did I have the bowl Bart? Why did I have the bowl?
