Third option, they keep finding the darn things on flights and want ensure the rightful owner is able to retrieve them with minimal embarrassment (ie direct human interaction). Though if one is utilizing and losing said items on flights, embarrassment likely is a pretty high threshold.
This is the reason I never travel with anything buzzy, latex ir banana shaped!!

I have friends who bring their comfort dildos and virbrators with them onto AC flights.
They say it reduces their anxiety on board, especially during rough, rough turbulence.
How dare they.
They say that the best way to not lose them is to immediately put them back into your carry on once you don't need them anymore.
Truly a pro Tip.

I could see losing an adult toy on board for similar reasons. You pull it out of your bag to reach something else.
I know the pods are semi-private, but there's a limit to what I'm willing to do in one, and I think I've reached that limit when I changed out of my pyjamas when all the lavs were consistently occupied from 30k feet down to 8k.

This could be a dangerous thing. Keep in mind that there are some AC destinations where these products are illegal. What happens if it is lost on a direct flight to one of these destinations? The most obvious destination is UAE, but people may be surprised to know that such items if phallic shaped are illegal in India. Vietnam makes these products illegal to bring in as well, but they just confiscate the items. Now let's say, a person lost it on a trip that included travel with an AC code share like a TG flight. That could get messy. Sex toys are illegal in Thailand. The country that has the Sodom & Gomorrah cities of Pattaya and Patong makes it illegal to bring in, purchase, or possess sex toys. In 2018 after a number of visitors were detained and fined for having such items in their luggage, Salinee Chumsawan, Director of the Office of Culture Monitoring at the Thailand Ministry of Culture was obliged to remind visitors that sex toys are an affront to Thai cultural norms .
Conceivably, if following up on a lost sex toy, AC could unintentionally facilitate the incarceration and punishment of a sex toy holder. For example, Johnny from Arnprior is off to visit his pals in Dubai, and misplaces his instrument of delight. He reports the missing item. Walid the baggage contractor in Dubai dutifully locates the item, but reports the case to the police. The police take the item to Johnny at his hotel and confirm that it is his. They then arrest and charge him for moral depravity. What then? I don't think western international travelers are aware of the international restrictions. Perhaps Air Canada needs to post a warning before we read about some poor fool being held in a foreign prison for possession of a sex toy and blaming the airline.

This subject matter has motivated me to see if I should carry with me a "regular" comfort dildo, and leave it at the CATSA security area and see what happens. Many airports have an area right after security where one can stop and view the excitement of the security screening. If I am going to invest in such an experiment I like to be able to witness what happens.
So now I need to get a hat, sunglasses and buy one in another city from where I live! OH wait I can do it online and use a different name!
