How to Store Adult Toys Safely Away from Kids
Because pleasure shouldn’t come with panic.
Let’s face it: if you’re a parent, privacy can feel like a luxury and finding a place to safely store your adult toys might feel like navigating a landmine.
At Lola Montez, we believe sexual wellness is part of a healthy, empowered life at any age or stage,including parenthood. So how do you protect your peace (and your kids’ innocence) at the same time?
Here’s how to keep your pleasure essentials private, hygienic, and out of little hands:
-
Choose a Discreet Storage Spot
Avoid drawers or bedside tables that curious kids can easily access. Instead, consider:
- A lockable box in a high-up closet
- A zipped travel bag stored on a top shelf
- A locking drawer in your wardrobe
Many adult toy storage cases are designed to be discreet, stylish, and even lockable—perfect for homes with wandering toddlers or teens.
I do have to add that I never hid my toys from my children. They knew where they were stored and I later found out that they often made it to show and tell at school.
I want my children to know that I am not ashamed of my pleasure and that they should respect my privacy. So if you don;t want to see my toys – don’t snoop. That is the rule in my house. But I do recognise that it is not the same for everyone.

Use Lockable Storage Solutions
Invest in a toy storage box with a coded or key lock. Some options even have built-in UV sterilisation or humidity control—functional and fancy. Bonus: It keeps your toys clean and discreetly hidden.
-
Keep Toys Clean and Dry
Always clean your toys after use and store them in breathable pouches to prevent damage or bacterial growth. This is especially important if you’re tucking them away for longer periods. If you can remove the batteries – do so, otherwise they may corrode.
-
Label Strategically (Or Not at All)
If you use containers or boxes, avoid labels that draw attention. A box labelled “Tax Returns 2012–2014” might not be glamorous, but it will never raise suspicion. Tell a friend in case you want the evidence removed if something happens to you!
-
Educate Yourself (and Eventually, Them)
Depending on your child’s age, you don’t need to explain what’s in your nightstand, but as they grow older, healthy conversations about bodies, consent, and pleasure are essential. When the time is right, knowledge becomes protection.
Final Tip: Have a “Go-To” Explanation
If your child happens to find something before you’ve had the chance to store it properly, stay calm. A simple, age-appropriate line like, “That’s something private that belongs to adults” can go a long way in defusing the situation without shame or drama.
At Lola Montez, we believe in privacy, pleasure, and parenting without guilt.
Your sexual wellness matters and with the right storage, so does your peace of mind.
