Stealth sex toys for women seem like a great idea, at first

Fashionista reports that adult toy manufacturer Screaming O has developed a line of intimate products designed to look like an ordinary makeup kit:

"Called the Studio Collection, the line includes a lipstick, makeup brush, and mascara, as well as two balms–one warming and one cooling–that look like eye shadow. The collection is rounded out by a “Sexy Secret Compact” containing an itty bitty little vibe hidden in a secret compartment. I sat at a table in a public restaurant viewing these products with company reps and can report that no one blinked an eye or looked at me in horror. They really look like makeup."

They mention the story of how one woman blogger had her privacy violated by TSA luggage inspectors who found a vibrator in her checked bag and left her a saucy note.

While these stealth items might avoid embarrassment when a woman accidentally dumps her purse, as a frequent flyer I would not recommend my female readers go through airport security with a mysterious electronic device cleverly hidden in a compact. Not unless you want to have a lot of 'splainin to do.
