WOMEN travelling to the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix have had their vibrators confiscated at the airport.

Under Islamic law, sex toys are deemed “pornographic materials” and are banned in the Middle Eastern country.

One F1 engineer’s girlfriend in the paddock was stopped and searched at the airport in Jeddah and had her vibrator taken off her, having not known they were banned in the country.

Meanwhile another female employee in the paddock was buzzing to get to the F1 but also had her “massage wand” investigated by security after touching down in Jeddah.

The unnamed employee, 27, said: “I went through passport control and got my luggage but was stopped by security who said my bag needed extra searching.

“They put it through the scanner and told me my ‘massage wand’ and Lipton ice tea drinks in my suitcase needed searching.

“This was in a public space with other tourists and passengers from my plane also getting extra searches!

“First off a male security guard came over asking to look at the ‘massage wand’ but I told him I wanted a female employee to look at it instead.

“She checked the ice teas for alcohol and then once again asked to look at the ‘massage wand’.

“I asked if we could please do this in a private space as I didn’t want my pink vibrator on show for all of the world to see!

“She put it in a more discreet bag and it was taken off to a side room for more investigating while I was told to sit and wait.

“I waited nervously because I thought they might interrogate me for prostitution or sex trafficking.

“Low and behold a man searched it in the side room which I was quite uncomfortable about.

“Then the original female security employee came out and said I was free to go and that I could actually KEEP the vibrator.

“Her words were ‘some massage wands aren’t allowed here but this one is ok, have a fun trip!'”
