As to what they might or might not classify a glass dildo as (can be used as a weapon, as it is a solid piece of hardware), you would be taking your chances there. Personally, I would play safe and check it.

According to the TSA, “tools” less than 7 inches in length are allowed in carry-on luggage. However, if the item is “club-like” or can be mistaken as a weapon, don’t pack it in a carry-on. Try to imagine your dildo or butt plug under the security scanner — will it look sinister somehow?

Since even belt buckles set off the metal detectors at security, there’s no way a metal dildo or butt plug will get through unnoticed in a carry-on. Same goes for strap-on harnesses with metal buckles, rings, or fixtures. Consider packing a fabric harness instead, and put your metal toys in your checked luggage.

As with any fragile item, pack a glass or ceramic dildo by wrapping it up thoroughly in soft cloth.

If you want it sugar coated, dont ask me what i think! It would violate TOS.

As I said, glass dildos, while a sex toy, are still pretty substantial (heavy, solid, and blunt). Same with any large solid silicone toys, anything they can even suspect can be used as a weapon runs the risk of being confiscated. And they will even pull them out of checked luggage, so take at your own risk.

So everyone traveling with you sees the large glass penis shaped object you are taking with you. Imagine their thoughts if you have to hit the rest room on the plane!

They are made out of the same glass as casserole dishes, pyrex. Dropping won't break, smacking someone in the head won't. You pretty much have to throw the thing against a wall

Almost all are not really glass. They are a usually made of a hard plastic, some just more flexible than others.

I had that same thought when I read this. Would be the most entertaining thing to watch happen to someone else at the security checkpoint, but definitely something that would be listed as a contributing factor of death by embarrassment if it happened to me

Seriously, I'd just check that stuff. I got the full TSA rundown when my sewing scissors (actually kid safety scissors I specifically purchased to meet TSA guidelines according to their rules) piqued their interest. They took my scissors out to examine and actually measure the blades before I cleared.

Status: offline 		When I was coming home from my vacation last year, I had this silly cheap snow globe they were handing out for free on the dock in Cannes. It was in my carry on along with a lot of my other souvenirs. They had to unpack the whole thing, just to get to that, which because it was completely sealed, I hadn't given a thought to. I will admit they were really nice about it though. They seemed shocked when I told them to go ahead and throw it away.

ETA: If I were traveling with a partner, I would probably just get a guilty grin on my face and shrug my shoulders. Traveling alone, however, I would be very curious whether they thought I was meeting someone or if I just planned on staying in my hotel the whole time with myself and "my little friend."

I put things in my carryon that I don't want people touching if I'm not there. My logic was that if they're going to take it out and look at it anyway, I would rather be standing there. It's a glass penis, wouldn't embarrass me. But if it's more likely that they'll take it away from me, then I won't put it in my carryon.

So they can confiscate it even if it's in my checked luggage? Not fair :/ I won't take the one with the handle then, it looks scary.

I usually don't check luggage when I travel. Depends on how long I'm gone.

I'm cheap and refuse to pay for the luggage fee to check it unless I have to.
