"You want to store your sex toys with care to avoid their getting dusty, dirty, and bacterial growth," notes Gigi Engle, a certified sex and relationship psychotherapist and sex expert at the LGBTQIA+ dating app, Taimi. "If we don't store sex toys properly, we run the risk of winding up with BV or a yeast infection." Whether you’re looking for a travel-friendly bag for taking your toys on the go, your precious cargo deserves to be stored in style.
No matter your budget, collection size, or living situation (sometimes locks are necessary!), keep scrolling to shop 16 of the best sex toy storage options that'll keep 'em toys safe and sound between play sessions. Oh, and if discretion is key, trust that we’ve pulled plenty of picks that don't announce to the world, “Hey, there are sex toys in here!!”
Generously sized and lined with antibacterial fabric, this $30 case is not only budget friendly, but the ideal place for your toys to call home. It's filled with both mesh and elastic pockets to organize your goodies, and it's roomier than it looks, as it's able to fit a full-size rabbit or wand, along with accessories like penis rings, bullet vibes, condoms, and whatever else you need. Plus, the zippers line up, so you can throw the included padlock on there to keep nosy roomies away. For a slightly smaller option, go with the medium-size case instead.
Glowing Customer Review: "This case is great for traveling with your favorite toys, [since] the internal straps and mesh zipper keep everything in place. There's enough room to keep several large toys in it or a bunch of small ones. Must have!"
It doesn't get much more discreet than this pretty bb from Unbound, which looks more like a chic lil toiletry bag than a vibe vault. Plus, the top of the bag features a clear, zippered pouch, which is perfect for charging cords, and it's lined with polyester, so it wipes clean with soap and water. Not into this pretty mint color? You'll be happy to know it also comes in purple.
Glowing Customer Review: "Love the color, design, and cushiony materials—very cute and well made. Larger than I thought it would be, which is a nice surprise. Plenty of room for my toys, accessories, and chargers, with lots of room to spare. With four average-sized toys, it’s not even 50 percent full!"
Nothing feels more ~luxe~ than velvet. This soft-shell storage case is about eight-and-a-half inches long, so it can definitely fit a variety of smaller goodies like bullet vibes, condoms, cock rings, and more. Depending on how big your wand or dildo is, you miiiight be able to fit one of those in here, too. Plus, this pretty case is idea for travel and doesn't scream, "There are sex toys in here!!!"
Glowing Customer Review: "Perfect size for my favorites! I love the color and material of the bag AND the extra pocket on the inside of the bag (I keep my chargers in there). Very unassuming and could easily be written off as a makeup bag. 5/5 design."
If you need something to hold a rather sizable collection, we've got ya covered. This lockable toy chest has TONS of room for gadgets and accessories while still being able to fit under your bed. Plus, it comes with an included combination lock to keep everyone else out. And if the pink butterfly print isn't for you, then you can get it in plain black instead.
Glowing Customer Review: "I bought this to keep all my toys in one spot, [but] I didn't know how big it would be and hoped it would work. IT DOES! I have a dozen or so toys in here, two bottles of lube, and extra batteries, and it all fits nicely and LOCKS. Yes."
Looking for something cute and chic? Get this zippered wristlet pouch from Dame, which includes three pockets and two elastic loops for keeping all your accessories organized, as well as a stain-resistant liner to keep things clean and dry. The tie-dye purple pattern is so unique, and the size is ideal for taking your toys on the road.
Glowing Customer Review: "The lining is so nice inside and it offers a small pouch inside as well. The size is perfect, as it can hold many goodies. It also fits really nice in my bag when I am traveling. Plus, the pattern is super cute, too!!"
If you still love the idea of a UV-C cleaner but want a less bulky option, then go with this lil cutie. The b-Vibe UV Sterilizer Pouch is discreet, small, and the fact that it's soft (as opposed to a hard case like the UVee) makes it a great option for those with sex toys that are no more than 10 inches tall. It'll allow you to sanitize your toys while traveling (in just three minutes, too!), and you can easily recharge the pouch with the included USB cord.
Glowing Customer Review: "I'm in a situation that requires discreetness when it comes to my toys. This allows me to clean them on a use-by-use basis, as normally I can't just go out to the sink to clean them. Obviously, you have to give a good clean to your toys every now and then, but since—for me—it isn't every day I can have that time, this is nice to have."
Not quite as discreet but still cute, this zippered silicone case from Happy Rabbit is a chic way to keep all your sex toys together in one place. It's got lockable zippers for total privacy, and it's made with easy-to-clean silicone for hygienic storage. And if this bb is too big for your needs, then you'll be happy (lol) to know that it comes in two smaller size options as well.
Glowing Customer Review: "I use this to hold all my toys (and their chargers if they have them) and lube. This works really great! It's a cute bag and discreet, so I can have it out in open in my room and not have anyone question what I could have in there! It's pretty full at this point—I am going to have to buy another one in the future!"
Okay, but how precious is this medium-sized pouch from Cake?? Made out of flexible, yet durable, jelly PVC material, this toy bag is water-resistant and complete with heavy-duty zippers that'll prevent any leaks or spills, so you can feel confident packing all your fave toys and lubes into this one.

Glowing Customer Review: "I've been wanting to buy one of these for a while, but hadn't found the right one that would fit my device and also would be discreet. So this is perfect—it's super chic, well made, fast, and makes me feel safe. I also really like that I can use it for other things if I want to—it's a perfect, generous size. Love it."
For only $10, you can score this handy zip-up vanity case from Smile Makers, which is designed to fit every sized vibrator in Smile Maker's collection (plus, so much more). You'll love the stylish canvas exterior and pretty pink polyester interior, as well as the fact that you can toss it in the wash whenever you want.
Glowing Customer Review: "It fits all my toys, a few lubricants, batteries, and charging cords. It's a perfect treasure box!"

Glowing Customer Review: "Great bag, well made, and looks good, too," notes one customer. "Holds a lot of items and doesn't look too obvious about what it is."
Though this one is specially designed to store a full-sized wand vibe, it can hold way more than just that. Reviewers love this sleek option for its handy internal dividers, lockable twin zippers, open base for discreet recharging, and its cute, clutch-style appearance. Does it contain a hair straightener or a giant vibrator? The world may never know!!
Glowing Customer Review: "I got this little case initially for my wand only, as is didn't fit in my previous Lovehoney case. However, upon arrival I found it was much bigger than expected, which is amazing. I found I could fit all my essential toys in there to take with me on my travels. I was able to fit a full-sized Lovehoney wand, a few plugs, an 8-inch dildo, a bullet vibrator, a mini paddle, and a small bottle of lube, still with room to spare!"
At just $4 a bag, this silky and surprisingly spacious lil drawstring bag from Unbound is just the thing you need to protect your toys before tucking them into your nightstand or luggage. You can easily afford one for all of your goodies. Plus, for silicone toys, it's ideal to keep each toy separate, so even if you have a larger storage box, these dust bags are a good idea for keeping toys individually protected.
Glowing Customer Review: "I love the feel of this bag and how big it is! I honestly will be replacing a lot of my other toy bags with this because I like the feel and size."
Sometimes bigger really is better and, yes, that goes for your sex toy storage...especially when it comes to making sure your bondage goodies are stored safely. This giant trunk is perfect for those who want to invest in their toys with a roomy design fit for their BDSM stash. The lockable, faux leather trunk lined with soft, red velvet features slots, storage drawers, and hooks to keep all of your toys and accessories in one place. Plus, it just looks like a fancy suitcase once closed, and it's slim enough to fit under most beds.
Glowing Customer Review: "The case is exactly what I would expect for the price. Well assembled, good materials, classy look and finish. It’s certainly a tad bit narrower than I think would be ideal (maybe an extra inch on either side would take this from excellent to sublime) but if you go into this purchase knowing that, you will be delighted by this case."
A clean sex toy is a happy sex toy, and one of the best ways to make your vibrators last is by storing them properly after washing. "Clean sex toys are also among the strongest pillars of a safe and healthy sex life," Barbara Santini, sex and relationship adviser for Peaches and Screams, tells Cosmo. "Sex toys require high hygienic standards to keep away infections, including STIs."
And in addition to shielding intimate items from dust and debris, storage cases can protect your toys from moisture and high heat, both of which can damage their motor life and make 'em die before their time (womp, womp). Here's what you should consider before investing in a sex-toy storage system:
Not to state the obvious, but any storage piece you buy should be able to fit the toy(s) you intend to put in it. For instance, if you're only looking to store a smol clit-sucking vibe, then a pouch should do the trick, but if you need a place to stow your full-size wand vibrator, then you're going to want to invest in something larger.
Think you can just tuck your vibrator into a regular ol' sandwich bag? Think again. For sex-toy bags, it's necessary to stick with breathable fabrics like cotton or polyester, which will keep odors and other ~unpleasant things~ from festering. And with bags that are specially designed for sex-toy storage, you'll often find lining that's water-resistant, easy to wash, and antimicrobial, which is also v important.
If you go with a sex-toy box rather than a bag, then plastic that's free from PVC, BPA, and phthalates is always a safe bet. However, you should still plan to stash each toy in its own baggie to prevent material degradation, which can occur when toys commingle (especially if they're made with silicone).
While a simple drawstring bag will get the job done, you can always invest in a sex-toy storage option that performs double duty. Fun add-on features include USB ports for charging toys (or holes to accommodate chargers while storing), removable or adjustable trays, pockets or compartments, combination locks or padlocks, and even UV lights for sanitizing. Consider what matters most to you, and then go with the storage solution that'll meet your needs.
