The Bedside Edit

  If you're shopping for your first sex toy, you've probably noticed two categories everywhere: vibrators and dildos. But what's actually the difference? And more importantly, which one is right for you? The answer depends on what type of stimulation you're interested in, whether you want vibration, how you plan to use the toy, and what feels comfortable for you. Let's break down the differences so you can shop with confidence. Vibrator vs. Dildo: The Quick Answer The biggest difference is simple: A vibrator uses vibration or another powered stimulation, while a dildo is generally non-powered and does not vibrate.

What TSA Says About Adult Toys First, the most common question: Can you pack adult toys in carry-on or checked luggage? Yes, you can. Airport security regulations do not prohibit adult novelties.
