Legality and Regulations in Switzerland and Abroad

In Switzerland, the possession and use of sex toys are legal. However, it is crucial to find out about the laws in force in the countries you intend to visit. Some countries may have strict regulations regarding objects considered indecent or obscene. Before you leave, check the websites of embassies or consulates for accurate and up-to-date information. Keep in mind that even if possession is legal, public display of sex toys may be considered an offence in many jurisdictions. Discretion is therefore essential.

Advice for Switzerland

In Switzerland, you can transport your sex toys legally. However, be discreet when transporting them, especially in public places. It is best to pack them carefully in your checked baggage. If you are travelling by train or bus, make sure they are not visible. In the event of an unexpected check, explain calmly and politely that they are personal items. Most officers will understand, but it is always best to avoid potentially embarrassing situations.

Packaging and Discretion

Packaging is essential to ensure the discretion and safety of your sex toys during travel. Use opaque pouches or storage bags to avoid unwanted curiosity. You can also conceal them among your clothes or other personal items in your suitcase. If you are travelling by plane, it is best to place them in your checked baggage rather than in your carry-on baggage, in order to avoid potential problems during security checks. Avoid transparent packaging or labels that could reveal the contents.

Packaging tips

For discreet packaging, wrap your sex toys in dark clothing or use storage pouches specially designed for this purpose. You can also place them in a toiletry bag or shoe bag to conceal them further. If you are travelling with vibrating objects, make sure they are switched off and locked to avoid accidental activation during transport. Also consider removing the batteries if possible to avoid leakage or short-circuiting.

Cleaning and Maintenance on the Go

Maintaining good hygiene is crucial, even when travelling. Take cleaning wipes specially designed for sex toys, or use mild soap and water. Clean your accessories before and after each use to prevent the proliferation of bacteria. If you are travelling to a place where the water is of dubious quality, use bottled water for cleaning. Make sure your sex toys are completely dry before storing them to prevent mould or bad odours. Silicone, glass and metal are generally easy to clean, while porous materials such as wood or TPE require special attention.

Recommended cleaning products

Choose mild, fragrance-free cleaners specially designed for sex toys. Avoid products containing alcohol, chlorine or other harsh substances that could damage the materials. Cleaning wipes are practical for travelling, but make sure they are compatible with the material of your sex toy. You can also take a small bottle of mild intimate soap for a more thorough cleaning.

Safety and Precautions

Safety should always be a priority, even when travelling. Always use water-based lubricants with silicone sex toys to avoid damaging them. Avoid using damaged or cracked sex toys, as they may harbour bacteria. If you share your sex toys with your partner, be sure to clean them thoroughly between each use. Be aware of your surroundings and avoid using your sex toys in public or inappropriate places. Always respect your body's limits and use your pleasure accessories in moderation.

Additional safety tips

If you are travelling to a country where medical care is limited, take a first aid kit containing antiseptics, dressings and painkillers. In the event of injury or infection, see a doctor as soon as possible. Avoid using improvised or poor quality sex toys, as they could be dangerous to your health. Pay attention to your body's signals and stop immediately if you feel pain or discomfort.
