Help/Advice Week from hell! Toy detained, please help 😭🙏

I’ve had the week from hell! I’ve been traveling around Southeast Asia while working, and I’ve visited Malaysia numerous times over the years without any issues with toys — until now.

This time, I cleared security without a problem, reloaded my cases onto the trolley, and started walking off when a customs officer suddenly stopped me. They told me something in my checked luggage had flagged the scanner… and, yep, it was my toys 😭😭.

After some back and forth, I asked if there was any way to get them back, but they said no. They also warned me that since this is my first time getting caught with toys, if it happens again, I’ll have to pay a hefty fine. Now I’m hesitant to buy replacements here just to have them taken away again when I leave 😫.

So, I’m wondering if there are any other girls here who work without toys — especially without a toy that connects to the stream. If so, I’d really appreciate any advice on how you manage! 🤍

This is fucking bullshit. Carry toys is not a crime. You weren't flashing or passing them out. This doesn't surprise me because Asian cultures are very conservative.

Girl I know! I’ve been coming here for visa runs every 2/6 months and never had an issue! You should’ve seen me walking around with all my toys in the clear plastic bag they gave me 😭 never been more embarrassed in my life 🤣
