14 travel-friendly sex toys that won’t prompt an awkward airport encounter

Going on a trip without your other half? Or making the most of Hot Girl Summer? It’s no surprise The Rose has featured in our line-up, having received rave reviews on TikTok, and from the entire Cosmo team.

This handheld clitoral sucker is designed to feel just like oral. Think suction, vibrations and a fluttering, licking sensation, but with no touching at all. Yeah, we were intrigued too.

We love the toy's cutesy floral design, which looks less like a sex toy and more like a mini sculpture. Flower power, indeed!

Before heading down-under, just load up the petal with your favourite water-based lube.

Sadly, the global success of the Rosec means it probably will no longer slip unnoticed through airport security. Luckily, Lovehoney’s newest launch has been disguised as a pocket-sized penguin instead. Now we’re not totally sure why you’d need a marine bird-style trinket on your holibobs, but it’s up to you to find an excuse — we just review the tech.

Several rounds of self-pleasure confirmed that Pingu packs a punch, his power delivered via 10 moving modes. Talking of those, there is something for everyone, with persistent pulses and intermittent tremors. And as the clit sucker is USB rechargeable, there’s no need to worry about picking up batteries at duty-free.

And if you’re wondering what keen shoppers have thought, one review raved: “My wife was always slightly scared of the idea of suction toys, assuming it would be like putting a mini vacuum cleaner against her. It's safe to say that after several incredibly enjoyable sessions with this we've been converted — this thing is fantastic.”

This one’s a new release in the travel-friendly category, and one we’re pretty sure you’ll be totally in awe of. A pint-sized version of its best-selling pinpoint stimulator, LELO’s just lost the loop handle (but no power) to ensure this slips neatly into your hand luggage.

FYI, one of our writers stated that for the “single girls who want more orgasms with minimal effort and without the assistance of a mediocre lover, this is a sensible, nay, sensual choice.” Read her full review here.

But weighing in at 53 grams and fitted with a battery life of up to one hour, plus an inability to get any louder than 60 dB, this vibrator will work whether you plan on joining the Mile High Club or making the most of your private balcony. Just slick the ballpoint tip with lube — LELO’s Personal Moisturizer if you like to stay loyal — and head south.

No, that’s not a Beauty Blender in our pocket — we really are just that excited you made it this far. Now Roam is probably best known for its motion lotion (read: lube), but the brand also puts a signature spin on classic sex toys.

The Pebble is, well, a pebble vibrator, tailored to teasing at the surface. Either use the tapered tip for precise clitoral play or lay it flat to spread the vibrations across your entire vulva. Plus, with it being fully waterproof, we recommend turning your hotel room tub hot.

Sitting at the firm end of the spectrum, this isn’t one for the sensitive of skin or those struggling with dryness. However, for the new to sex tech who are looking for something that won’t get in the way, you’re welcome.

The humble cock ring is a wise place to start if you’re a total beginner — or want to use your escape from reality to really master missionary.

Tenga’s SVR+ cock ring comes with a three-inch extension that works a bit like a bullet vibrator — simply direct it wherever you wanted added motion and sensation. When in the throes of partnered passion, it should rest against his perineum and your clitoris, amping up the pleasure for you both.

This ring specifically consists of a stretchy, flat-ringed design that prevents it from rolling and spinning once in place. If we were to complain about anything, we’d say the 40-minute battery life needs work — but this vibrating penis ring rarely lets you last that long anyway.

You might be limited on space, but that doesn’t mean your pleasure has to suffer. This two-piece set comes with both a mini vibrator (perfect for total-body teasing), and a G-spot stimulator, all discreetly hidden in a trendy carry bag.

The smaller of the two toys, The Surfer, is made from super-soft silicone and has three aptly placed fins to help with those external orgasms. Then there’s The Tennis Pro, designed with an angled head and rumbling motor to push you over the edge from the inside.

Both are easy to use, thanks to the single button controlling the various vibration modes, and last about four hours.

Our Sex and Relationships Senior Ecommerce Writer Sophie says: “The Surfer was my first sex toy, and one I’ve gifted to various friends since. It's super compact, fits in any handbag and the bulbous head makes finding the right spot easy. Enjoy gals.”

Consider this your solution to more interesting missionary, doggy, spooning... the list goes on. The silicone ring is designed to tantalise your entire downstairs during penetration, with aptly placed bubbles and a small hump to grind against.

Simply slide it down the length of your partner’s penis or strap-on, or a dildo if flying solo, before adding a generous helping your favourite lube. Then climb on and ride. It could not be simpler, people!

And since it doesn’t need batteries or recharging, and is completely silent, you can use this anywhere at any time. We're obsessed.

Avoid any unwanted airport encounters by taking a toy that could easily be mistaken for your lipstick. Yep, We-Vibe have thought of it all with this waterproof bullet.

One end is tapered for pin-point clitoral stimulation, while the other is covered in non-slip silicone for more control. There are also seven vibration patterns to keep you guessing, including a pulse, wave, heartbeat and cha-cha setting.

This one's also waterproof, whisper-quiet and comes with a handy travel lock to avoid any on-the-go vibrations. Need we say more?

Want a toy that both you and your partner will enjoy? Try the Tiani for mutual orgasms made easy.

This double-ended vibrator is designed to sit inside your vagina, sending pleasurable pulses to your G-spot, while the smaller arm sits on your clit to really push you over the edge. Then, once comfortable, invite your partner with a penis to join in on the fun. They’ll feel the vibrations along the length of their shaft too.

And if you fancy going hands-free — or relinquishing all control — explore the 10 vibration settings through the easy-to-use app.

People say it helps to be flexible in the bedroom — and it seems the same rules apply to your sex toys. Find the right spot, whatever your shape, thanks to this bendable G-spot vibrator that delivers all kinds of gorgey internal stimulation.

Again, Mystery Vibe have answered all your wishes, as this powerful pocket-rocket is showerproof, USB-rechargeable and can be controlled via a handy smart app.

Slather yourself in your favourite lube, then slide this in and wait for the finger-like sensations to start. We can almost guarantee you’ll be in orgasmic bliss in minutes.

Now this one’s not particularly subtle — it would be rude to ignore this Barbie-approved colourway— or small, but can be cleverly hidden inside your wash bag or a trainer (trust us, we’ve done it).

But the reason we’ve pulled this into the line-up is because sometimes you can’t beat a good old-fashioned dildo, particularly one designed to feel just like the real thing. Yep, this one has five insertable inches, made up of a rounded, swollen head and textured shaft for thrilling internal sensations.

There's also a rather strong suction-cup base and bulbous balls to make sure your vulva doesn’t miss out on the action too. Enjoy.

If you're short on space, there's nothing better than a two-in-one toy, right? This rechargeable cock ring works to strengthen you or your partner's erection, while also providing plenty of clitoral stimulation thanks to the handy addition of a bullet vibrator.

We also suggest using it as a finger vibrator when you're in the mood for some external play. Simply wrap the silicone ring around your digits and load up the tip with your favourite lube. With an impressive ten settings, this tiny bullet packs a serious punch.

So many options to play with!
