The U.S. Department of Defense has instructed Canadian retailer Bonjibon to cease shipments of sex toys to Bahrain, impacting U.S. service members stationed there. Grace Bennett, the shop's owner, received the directive and highlighted the irony that the items were originally ordered by the soldiers.

The Department of Defense categorizes these products as posing a significant danger, and Bennett reported previous warnings about the legality of such items in Bahrain. Online discussions reveal mixed opinions on the legality of sex toys in the country, with customs officials known to confiscate certain items. In 2015, an airline pilot faced fines for attempting to smuggle sex toys into Bahrain, leading to scrutiny from customs.
