I believe in letting your freaky side fly. I also believe in being discreet. Not everyone needs to know about your dildo collection, especially family!
Toys meant for your private time should be just that, hidden in private.
Of course, hiding can be easier said than done. How many times have you hidden something that you thought was in a good spot, only for someone to find it?
It can be frustrating for sure. Where is a good place to hide your dildos where no one can see them?
That’s why I’m here to help! This article will look at why you should hide your dildo, where, and more.

Why Should You Hide Your Dildo?
Not everyone needs to hide their dildos. If you live alone or with a partner who also uses them, then let them free!
But many people do not want others to see their sex toys. For example:
- You live with your parents; the last thing you want is for your mom to find it!
- You’re a parent, and the last thing you want is your kids to find your toys.
- Same thing if you live with your roommates.
- You have a partner, but you don’t want them to know you use sex toys. While healthy communication about your sex life is important, some people may wish to carry secrets.
- Even if you are alone or live with someone who doesn’t care, there are situations when you need to hide it. For example, if maintenance or housekeeping is coming in. While the maintenance guys have probably seen worse, who wants that embarrassment?
With these reasons out of the way, it should be obvious why you wouldn’t want some people seeing your sex toys.
For some, it’s about embarrassment. The last thing you may want is your roommate making fun of you.
For others, it’s about age-inappropriateness. You definitely don’t want kids asking questions that they’re not ready for!
Finally, you may want to hide your sex toys from your family. If you’re an adult living with some high-and-mighty parents, you may worry about being kicked out for exploring your sexuality.
What to Consider Before You Hide It
Before you hide your toys, here are some considerations.
What is My Home’s Layout?
Some people reading this live in a large home with plenty of hiding spots. But some people may live in a small place.
For example, you’re in a college dorm. In that case, you may only have a few spaces to put your toys.
For example, you may need to put your toys in a stash case, or a small safe.
Will I Be Traveling?
If you’re a frequent traveler, you probably want a hiding spot that allows for easy access. And if you’re traveling, you may want a portable way to hide your dildo.
A lockable storage case may be a good choice for frequent travelers.
Is it Clean?
Before you store your dildo, it’s important to keep it clean. If it’s made from silicone or other non-porous materials, wipe it down with soap and water, then let it air dry.
You may also want to use a toy cleaner. For porous toys, you may need to give them a deeper cleaning.
Personally, I wouldn’t recommend porous toys.
Does it Have a Bag?
A dildo usually comes with a silk bag for storage. Ideally, you’ll want the dildo in this bag to avoid lint and other contaminants.
Another reason is that silicone dildos should not touch each other. There’s a chance that these dildos could fuse together, and no one wants that!
Places to Hide a Dildo Discreetly
Now, let me tell you my favorite hiding places.
The Sock Drawer
Even if you have a nosy roommate, kid, or family member, they probably won’t go rummaging in your sock drawer.
You can put a dildo inside one of your tube socks, or put it at the bottom.
If someone were to open the drawer, all they’d see are a bunch of socks.
Secret Stash Containers
Have you ever heard of secret stash containers? You usually can find them at a smoke shop, as they are designed to stash things that may or may not be legal.
But you can use them for your toys, too!
They tend to resemble ordinary objects, like a Pringles or shaving cream can, but they have a hidden compartment.
In this compartment, you can put your dildo in it. Well, it all depends on how much storage space is in those containers.
At the very least, you may be able to store your small vibrators!
A Safe
You can find safe boxes at surprisingly cheap prices on Amazon. Just pop your dildos in the safe, think of a good code that no one will guess, and then put the safe in your closet or under your bed.
Simple enough.
A Lockable Bag
Think of this as a safe that you can bring with you. These bags have a code that keeps your goods safe and secure.
They are also great for travel.
Just make sure the dildo is turned off, or it has a travel lock. You don’t want the TSA to ask you to unlock it because the bag is buzzing!
Shoe Boxes
Shoe boxes are another area that few people are going to search. This is especially true if you put several shoe boxes filled with actual shoes nearby!
Locked Bedside Table Drawer
Many people have bedside table drawers. Some of them include a drawer you can lock. This drawer can be a great place to put your toys in!
Just make sure you have the key stored in a safe place.
If you’re bad with keys, some drawers have a combination lock. Set the lock to a number you can remember but others won’t guess, and there you go!
Under the Bed
If your bed has space underneath it, you may be able to store items here. With that said, I recommend investing in a storage container to put your toys in.
Preferably a lockable one if you have someone who’s extra nosy!
Or in the Middle of The Bed
Some people will hide a dildo between the mattress and box spring. This is especially an effective hiding space if it won’t make your bed lumpy.
Try it and see if it works out.
In a Coat Pocket
As I’m writing this, it’s June. You probably have your coat stored somewhere. And if it has big pockets, why not put a dildo or two inside them?
If you’re reading this in winter, or if it’s cold in your area, be mindful of which coats you wear!
Top Medicine Cabinet Shelf
You may put a dildo in your bathroom, especially if you have a bathroom that connects to your bedroom.
Placing the dildo in a medicine cabinet can be effective, especially if you have kids who are still small!
If they are climbers, however, you may need a different spot.
In a Locked Room
After a long night, you may not want to hide everything discreetly. If your room can lock, and you have a key, just lock it up.
As long as no one else has a key, what happens in the room stays in the room.
In Your Purse
A woman’s purse is said to be a magic bag that never ends. If you have a smaller dildo, and you’re on the go, you might as well put the dildo away from your purse.
That said, you should probably put it away from everyday items.
You may not want to accidentally pull out your dildo when you meant to pull out your house keys!
Using a Storage Bag or Lockable Case to Hide a Dildo
Perhaps the best way to hide a dildo is via a storage bag or lockable case. Let’s look at both and then give you two good products.
Storage Bag
A storage bag can be a great way to hide your dildo since many dildos come with one. Usually, the bag is made from satin or another soft material.
These bags tend to be closeable via a drawstring, though some may use other methods. Storage bags also keep the dildo from getting lint and other contaminants on it.
These bags also stop silicone toys from merging. Once your dildo is in the bag, you can put it in a drawer or another area that will be discreet.
If your dildo didn’t come with a storage bag, or you lost it, no worries! These bags are pretty cheap to find.
Lockable Case
A lockable case is great when you’re traveling or want peace of mind when you have extra nosy roommates.
These cases tend to have room for a couple of toys or have pockets for accessories. Then, you can lock the case; either through a padlock, a combination, or another method.
Bondage Large Storage Bag – Best Bag
If you need a quick and dirty storage bag, this one gets high marks. It’s affordable, meaning you can purchase several for different toys.
It’s also big enough to fit a large dildo. Like any normal bag, this uses a drawstring to close.
Lovehoney has several bags like these in different sizes, so I recommend buying a few.
Lovehoney Lockable Sex Toy Case – Best Case
What if you’re traveling or want to keep your toys extra protected? This case may be the perfect answer.
It’s 14 x 7.5 x 2.75 inches, allowing you to store several toys. It even includes pockets for accessories or smaller toys.
Inside, you can separate your toys, meaning they won’t touch. Another win in the sanitary department
The bag also comes with a padlock. This way, you can keep your toys safe from prying eyes or security.
And finally, it’s just a nice case. The case comes with the Lovehoney logo, and it’s aesthetically pleasing.
FAQs
Where is the Best Place to Hide a Sex Toy?
The best place depends on your living situation. With that said, most people use a locked drawer or case to hide their toys.
This way, your toys are nearby and locked up from prying eyes.
How to Bring a Dildo or Sex Toy on a Plane
Because many toys use lithium-ion batteries, you should keep them as carry-ons.
It’s recommended that you place your toys in a storage bag or case, then put them in a carry-on suitcase.
How to Use Your Dildo Discreetly
Use it in a room where no one can enter, and keep the room locked. Ideally, do it when your roommates or family are asleep or out of the house.
Also, consider the dildo’s noise level. Some toys are louder than others. If you’re unsure, turn on the TV or fan to mask the noise.
