13 Genius Ways to Hide Your Sex Toys at Home Without Anyone Knowing

So you have one or more sex toys—and they're so satisfying that you don't want solo or partner play without them. But not everyone has a sex-positive attitude, and even for those who do, it can still feel embarrassing if your most intimate items are accidentally found by family members or unexpected visitors.

Here are some of the best ways to hide your sex toys so you never have to face an awkward conversation again. Not only that, these tips also help keep your toys safe and clean. As sex therapist Dulcinea Pitagora notes, “Not only do you want your toys to be play-ready, but if you put your toys away dirty or not well cared for, they will degrade more quickly, and possibly become unsafe to play with.”

1. Bedside Table Boxes

If you don't have a bedside drawer, decorative bedside boxes (like those DIY boxes from IKEA) work perfectly. Stack a few to create a makeshift bedside table and place your lamp, books, or décor on top. This makes it more difficult for nosy visitors to open them.

2. A Suitcase

Most people own luggage, and almost no one will dig through a suitcase they assume is empty. Store your toys inside and add a few layers of old clothes or books on top. You can even lock the suitcase and say it's ready for your next trip. Just remember what's inside if someone asks to borrow your luggage!

3. A Shoebox

Shoeboxes have long been a go-to hiding spot. Keep your toy inside one and place it on a shelf or in your closet. A stack of shoeboxes doesn't raise suspicion and rarely attracts curious hands.

4. A Drawstring Organza Bag

Small toys like nipple clamps or cock rings fit perfectly inside opaque organza bags. They're discreet, compact, and easy to tuck into your underwear drawer or bedside table.

5. Inside Socks

Your sock drawer is a surprisingly safe hiding place. Slip your toy into a thick winter sock, fold it, and mix it with the others. It provides padding and keeps the toy from clashing with other items.

6. Inside a Tissue Box

Unless your visitor has allergies, a tissue box is an excellent hiding spot. It stays right beside your bed, adds a cushioned layer of protection, and the tissues are conveniently available for cleanup.

7. Discreet Sex Toy Storage Containers

If you're a collector, consider a specially-designed sex toy storage case. These often come with mesh pockets, hidden compartments, and built-in locks for added privacy and protection.

8. Inside the Pocket of a Large Handbag

Large handbags usually have inner pockets perfect for hiding small toys. Keep a spare handbag in your closet and store your toy inside—just avoid carrying it around town by accident.

9. Inside a Tampon Box

Most men avoid opening tampon boxes, which makes them a brilliant hiding place. Keep the box in your bedroom to prevent guests from accidentally grabbing one.

10. Inside a Poster Tube

Poster tubes are ideal for longer toys like dildos or vibrators. If you don't already have one, buy an inexpensive poster just for the tube. Whiskey gift tubes also work (like those used for Glenfiddich).

11. Inside a Stuffed Animal Pouch

Some stuffed toys come with hidden pouches. If you have one, it can be a surprisingly effective—and adorable—hiding place. And if someone tells you you're too old for stuffed animals… ignore them.

12. Inside Hanging Storage Slots

Hanging closet organizers provide multiple compartments where you can tuck your toy between socks or underwear. Just keep the toy inside a protective pouch or bag to maintain cleanliness.

13. Under-Bed Storage

It's a classic for a reason. A small box or pouch under the bed keeps your toy accessible but out of sight. If you mix it with other stored items, it becomes even less noticeable.

Now that you know these 13 discreet hiding spots, you can say goodbye to awkward run-ins or uncomfortable conversations—and enjoy your playtime in peace.
