How Do You Fly with Your Penis Pump?
While it can be nerve-wracking, if you approach it with a little bit of preparation and awareness, you'll feel much more relieved to bring your vacuum device with you discreetly and confidently through TSA and into the airport.
Whether you’re packing it in your carry-on bag or stowing it into your checked luggage, understanding airline regulations before you depart, and knowing how to pack strategically will help you avoid unnecessary attention or hassle.
In our article today, we will walk you through everything you need to know to travel with your penis pump while flying.
Why Would You Travel with Your Vacuum Pump?
Most men who engage in penis pumping do so regularly and consistently, and following a schedule. It's similar to exercising, working, or taking a class - you get into a habit of doing it.
Even taking a week off might feel too out of the ordinary for most men who've been pumping for months or years.
Therefore, many men elect to take their vacuum pump with them on trips so they can keep up with their penis enlargement regimen.
Some men are also going on vacation with their wife, girlfriend, or significant other, or they plan to engage in romantic and sexual endeavors while traveling. These men may also want to be able to pump before their sexual encounters to give them an extra confidence and size boost.
Understanding Airline Regulations for Medical Devices
Penis pumps generally fall under the classification of medical devices, which means they are allowed in both checked luggage and carry-on bags.
Understanding this classification can alleviate a lot of anxiety associated with bringing your pump through airport security, knowing that you don't need to try to hide it or slip it past security personnel.
While the TSA does allow medical devices, including penis pumps, to be carried on board, you should still familiarize yourself with both TSA guidelines and the specific policies of the airline company you’re flying with.
When packing your pump, it’s normally a good idea to carry it with you in your carry-on bag. This is so that you can keep your pump with you throughout your journey, and you'll know that it wasn't unjustly confiscated in baggage processing, or damaged during transport.
Also, having it in your carry-on bag means that if your luggage is inspected, you’ll be present to personally handle the situation discreetly and directly with the officer. This is better than if you pack it in checked baggage, where a security personnel may be unfamiliar with the security policies or unable to identify what the penis pump is, and may confiscate it based on ignorance or negligence.
Packing Your Penis Pump Discreetly
How you pack your penis pump can significantly impact your experience at the airport.
The goal is to keep your device discreet and prevent it from standing out during security checks.
The goal is also to keep the rest of your luggage, and you in general, from standing out or being flagged for inspection.
One effective strategy is to pack your pump with other similar items in your toiletry bag so that it doesn't look out of place. Your toiletry bag will already consist of plastic toiletry containers and cylindrical bottles, so while your pump might be a bit bigger than them, it won't look entirely out of place due to its materials and shape.
Always disassemble your penis pump into smaller components to make it appear less conspicuous and reduce the likelihood of it being flagged during an X-ray scan. Additionally, disassembling your penis pumps decreases wear and tear on the connections and valves where the various parts connect to each other.
If you have an advanced penis pump with multiple sleeves, cylinders, attachments or accessories, pack only what you need for your trip. The fewer components you carry, the less attention it will draw in the x-ray machine.
To further minimize attention, avoid packing anything else besides your penis pump that might lead to additional scrutiny of your bag - such as large quantities of liquids or gels, or anything that falls into the gray area of allowable items.
Keeping your carry-on simple and straightforward helps ensure that security agents don’t have any extra reasons to inspect your belongings closely.
Navigating Airport Security with Confidence
Going through airport security is where most men feel the most anxious about bringing a penis pump with them.
However, being prepared, staying calm, and knowing that you aren't doing anything illegal can make the process less stressful and seamless.
Let's not forget that TSA agents are trained to handle personal and sensitive items professionally, so they are probably not trying to pass judgment or embarrass you. As long as you follow the rules and don't give them any extra reasons to stop or search you, everything should proceed smoothly.
If your bag happens to be flagged and selected for inspection, you can request a private screening away from the eyes of other bystanders. This option allows you to discuss the item privately with a security officer away from the public eye and will make you less embarrassed.
A great approach is to place the penis pump in an official or medical bag that is labeled as a "medical device" so that security officers will know the contents before abruptly opening it.
You can also include a note from your doctor or a copy of the device’s instructions in the bag to provide additional context if questions arise. While not always necessary, this extra step can offer reassurance.
Honesty is also always the best policy. If a TSA agent asks about the device, simply explain that it’s a medical device. More often than not, this straightforward explanation will suffice, and you can continue your journey without further questions.
International Travel with a Penis Pump
If you’re traveling internationally, be aware of the specific regulations of the country you’re visiting. Some destinations may have different rules regarding medical devices, so doing a bit of research beforehand can save you from potential issues and confiscation upon arrival.
Carrying documentation, such as a doctor’s note or proof that the device is for medical use, can be particularly helpful when traveling abroad. This documentation can be especially important if you’re questioned by customs or security officials in a foreign country.
What to Do if Your Pump is Flagged
You can do everything right, but there may be times when you are stopped by TSA and your penis pump is flagged or inspected.
In these situations, try to stay calm and composed, and remember that the security personnel are just doing their job, and your cooperation can help resolve the situation quickly. If you’ve taken the precaution of requesting a private screening, this will happen away from the public eye, adding a layer of discretion to the process.
If your device is inspected, reiterate that it is a medical device and provide any necessary documentation if asked. The more calmly and confidently you handle the situation, the more likely it is to be resolved smoothly and without the device being confiscated or you being publicly embarrassed.
Other Responses
Another excellent approach to dealing with the TSA if they ask what this device is, is to simply own it and tell them exactly what it is with responses like:
- "It's a penis pump."
- "It's an erectile dysfunction treatment device."
- "It's a device for growing your dick" if you're feeling extra bold or funny.
*Bonus Tip
There are a few expedited security screening programs that allow passengers to go through special security lanes at the airport such as TSA PreCheck and Global Entry.
These two programs provide much faster screening times, less people and onlookers in line, and less stringent security checks, since you've already been pre-approved as a safe traveler.
This can be a huge benefit if you fly often and bring your penis pump with you. Not only are you already pre-approved as a safe traveler, but the TSA agents are generally more lenient and nicer since you have a lower risk profile.
In the off chance that a TSA officer wanted to see your penis pump, the process would be much smoother and faster since pre-approved passengers travel with a bit of a privilege in regards to security screening.
These two programs will cost money thought: TSA PreCheck is $78 for 5 years and Global Entry is $100 for 5 years.
This comes out to $15.60 per year for TSA PreCheck and $20 per year for Global Entry.
If you travel often, and bring your penis pump with you, these two expedited security programs may be a great way to more privately and quickly travel abroad.
