Out of Sight, Not Out of Reach: Ultimate Guide to Discreet Sex Toy Storage

Let’s be honest your vibrator deserves better than a cramped drawer full of tangled cords, ibuprofen, and mystery dust. Whether you’re living with roommates, curious kids, or just appreciate a little privacy, hiding your sex toys isn’t just good practice, but an essential one. Nothing kills the mood like someone “accidentally” discovering your “neck massager.”

In this guide, we’ll walk you through a list of stealthy storage ideas, and clever hiding spots so you’ll never have to wonder where to hide your vibrator. It’s time to organize that robust toy collection with no shame, just pure and private pleasure.

Where to hide your vibrator depends on who you’re hiding it from, what space you have available, and how often you use it. After all, what good is a hiding spot if it isn’t practical?

Here are eight discreet toy storage ideas:

1. Nightstand Drawer
2. Who wouldn’t go straight for the nightstand? It’s a classic! It’s right by the bed, easy to reach when you’re getting ready to sleep or when things are getting spicy. Using a fabric bag or small lockbox keeps your toy contained and away from prying eyes.
3. Dresser Drawer
4. We’ve all tucked away something special behind a wall of underwear and unmentionables, so what better spot to hide your vibrator? 
5. Storage Box or Lock Box
6. Many toy companies make hard shell cases or lock boxes specially designed for concealed sex toy storage. They often have pouches for chargers, accessories, and lubricant which is absolutely fabulous when it comes to organization. These cases are discreet, some come with locks to deter even the most dedicated snoopers. You can easily slide a sex toy storage box under your bed, into your closet, or up on a shelf.
7. Repurpose Boxes, Bags, or Storage Bins
8. The easiest way to hide something is by disguising it. Repurpose an old jewelry box, makeup case, bag, or cute storage bin. To truly disguise it, throw a couple of scarves over top and close the lid. As long as the box fits with your room’s aesthetic, no one will suspect what’s inside.
9. In Luggage or a Travel Bag
10. Everyone has that one suitcase in the back of their closet, waiting for the next vacation. Put it to use and hide your sex toys in it. To ensure safe and clean storage, place your vibrator or dildo in a toiletry bag then tuck it away in your luggage.
11. A Shoe Box
12. Okay, we know how it sounds, but bear with us. Label it something boring like “Old Receipts” or “Winter Socks,” and keep it in the back of your closet with other boxes. No one is going to peek through mundane storage.
13. Inside Hollowed-Out Books or False Containers
14. This might sound like overkill, but we prefer to think of it as whimsical. This option is for those with especially sneaky kids or guests who need to go the extra mile by hiding their adult toys in plain sight.
15. Unused Camera Bags
16. One of the more creative ways to store adult toys in your home is an unused camera or laptop case. Sex toys fit surprisingly well in compartments made for technology. Much like storage designed for sex toys, tech bags have spaces for cables, lenses, and other electronics. You can quickly turn a camera or laptop bag into a one-stop sex toy case.

A guide for where to hide your sex toys wouldn’t be complete without a breakdown of how to store them. 

The golden rule of sex toy storage is to keep them clean, charged, and properly stored.

So, ask yourself: How often are you using your toy? Can you leave your vibrator out while it charges, or should it stay hidden? And, finally, how do you clean your toy?

If you want to get the best mileage out of your favorite toy, you need to store your vibrators safely. Here are a few tips on how to make storing your sex toy easy:

1. Keep Cleaning Supplies Nearby
2. Store wipes and toy cleaner should be kept in the same general area of your vibrator to make cleaning second nature. For example, if you’re using a nightstand find a small pouch that holds your cleaning supplies, and place it next to your toy. Not only will this stop your toy from collecting dust or bacteria, but it’s a simple way to keep your whole routine discreet.

3. Make Charging a Cinch
4. Store charging cables with your vibrator. If you have a collection of toys, grab a hair tie and wrap up each cord individually, then store them in the pouch with the right toy. This small organizational hack will streamline your routine, helping you fly under the radar.
5. If charging your toy in the open isn’t an option, get a rechargeable battery pack that’s USB-compatible to charge your toy without moving it.
6. Don’t Underestimate a Storage Bag
7. Many toys come with velvet or satin storage pouches. These discreet sex toy bags protect from dust and scratches, help organize toys and their accessories, and deceive prying eyes. Our guide on sex toy safety goes more in-depth on care practices that keep your vibrator in tip-top shape.

Clear Browsing History and Close Your Tabs: If you’re buying toys online or watching videos, make sure to close your tabs and clear your history. If you’re using private browsers on your phone, switch back to normal browsing before letting someone else use it to search the internet.

Choose Retailers With Plain Shipping Options: Most retailers offer discreet packaging automatically. Some make it an option at checkout. Make sure to check that box before finalizing your order. If shopping online feels overwhelming, and you're not sure where to start, check out our comprehensive guide for choosing the right vibrator.

Hiding Sex Toys Doesn’t Mean Hiding Your Sexuality: At the end of the day, being discreet with your sex toys doesn’t mean you should feel ashamed of your pleasure. These tips are here to help you protect your privacy, and create a comfortable environment for yourself. There’s no shame in self-care.
