Packing Lubricant for a Flight from Canada
For a flight departing from a Canadian airport, pack a liquid or gel lubricant with your carry-on liquids. CATSA's current guidance requires containers of 100 ml or 100 g or less, fitting into one transparent, resealable bag of no more than one litre per passenger.
Check the container, not just what remains
A large bottle with a small amount left is still a large container. Read the capacity printed on the package before putting it in your cabin bag. Do not assume that a half-empty bottle meets the limit because its remaining contents would fit in a smaller one.
A small factory-labelled package can simplify identification. Keep its ingredient and use information available, especially if you need to check compatibility with a device. A plain bottle without those details may be harder to identify once it is separated from the original packaging.
Leave space in the liquids bag
The lubricant shares that allowance with your other applicable toiletries. Pack the bag at home rather than discovering at the checkpoint that it will not close. Check the cap and keep it away from items that could puncture the container.
CATSA says to remove the liquids bag from your carry-on and place it in a bin at screening. Follow the officers' instructions. This guide does not promise that an item will avoid inspection or qualify for a medical exception.
Plan the return journey separately
Different screening authorities may have different procedures. Check the airports on both legs of your itinerary and your airline's guidance before travelling. A rule for departure from Canada does not establish the rules for another country or an international transfer.
Keep the device checklist separate
Your rechargeable toy and your lubricant raise different packing questions. Read our battery-device travel guide for the electronics side. Neither guide establishes destination import rules.
If your Dear Tingle pack includes lubricant, verify the actual labelled size and formula when it arrives; do not estimate capacity from a pack photograph. Our compatibility guide helps you check the product before packing it with a silicone device.
