You may have just started wearing a butt plug, or maybe you’re an experienced user. Whatever your expertise is, you just can’t get enough of that subtle sensation.
But is it okay to wear your plug all day? How long can you leave a butt plug in for?
The short answer: “Because of the design of butt plugs, the edge of the plug can sometimes press against the tender lining of the anus between the anal sphincter and the plug. This can cause a reduced blood flow and cause pain. Therefore, most experts advise against using butt plugs for longer than 2-3 hours at a time.
The long answer: It’s different for everyone! With practice and lubrication, you can keep an anal plug for at least three hours or even more. That’s not the whole story, though. Some people can keep it for extended periods (more on this later).
So, what are the tips and tricks to master wearing a butt plug? And can you sleep with a butt plug?
This article will tell you all!

Can You Wear An Anal Butt Plug All Day Safely?
Yes, it’s possible. Many people do that and they love it. Still, that’s not something I would recommend to a beginner.
But first, let’s answer the main question – why would anyone want to wear a butt plug all day?
If you’re wondering the same thing, you likely have not experienced this arousing feeling. Once you experience this anal sensation, you’ll understand what I’m talking about.
In simple terms, butt plugs help relax and prepare you for anal sex. They stretch your anal muscles, so you can have comfortable sex or handle bigger sex toys.
And even you’re not looking for anal sex, you’ll still likely enjoy the fulfilling sensation.
Pleasure won’t come right away as it does with clitoris or vaginal stimulation. But that’s the beauty of butt plugs – Indirect pleasure.
It’s not that intense to take away your focus from daily activities. But it feels mighty good! Now, let’s come to the newbie part.
Is it difficult to wear a butt plug for a long time? How can you adjust your asshole for long-term butt plug activity?
I have the tips ready for you!

Tips For Leaving A Butt Plug in Long Term
Walk before you run: As a beginner, your goal shouldn’t be to keep your butt plug inside for however long you can.
You probably won’t even be able to take the whole length in one go. So, wearing it 24/7 is out of the picture for now.
Your butthole needs some preparation (foreplay and lube) to loosen up.
Once you feel comfortable with the plug inside, you can start wearing it for two to three hours. That’s just a rough estimation, though.
If you feel discomfort or severe pain at any point, take it out immediately and give your ass some rest.
Experiment on your own and record the time for your convenience. Increase the time interval between breaks gradually.
How to Wear a Butt Plug in Public?
Will people know that you have a plug inside your ass? You won’t always be at your home, so how to keep your butt plug discreet in public?
Choose Your Plug Wisely
It really depends on the type of plug you’re wearing. For long-term wear, a silicone butt plug with a T-shaped base works great due to its non-porous surface.
And since you want to keep it discreet, it’s best to avoid butt plugs with tails.
There will be many movements, and you will feel different sensations when you walk, sit, cough, and fold your legs. So yes, a small or medium-sized butt plug will be a lot easier to deal with.

Re-apply the Water-Based Lube
You may have to re-apply the lube a couple of times with silicone butt plugs to avoid dryness and irritation.
You can only use water-based lube as other types damage the outer covering of silicone, and it dries out fast compared to others.
Keep a Plastic Bag
Put your butt plug in a plastic bag when you’re taking a toilet break or re-applying the lube.
Make sure the bag is clean, and don’t put your plug anywhere else. Take care of its hygiene for your safety.
Double the Fun With a Partner
How about some couple-fun in public? A remote vibrating plug will spice up your date! But only hand over the remote control to your partner if you truly trust them to keep it a secret.
The pleasure gets really intense with different vibrations! Although that’s fun and kinky, your moans might give it away so be careful!
Suggestion: If you’re nervous about trying a butt plug in public, you can use a harness or wear a tight panty – Both will keep the plug in your ass.
How to Pee With a Butt Plug?
Once the butt plug gets in, most people don’t want to take it out. You may pee without removing your plug.
While it’s recommended to remove your plug before peeing, you can hold the base to avoid it from falling if you feel lazy.
However, if a butt plug is made of glass or metal, you shouldn’t take any risk and remove it before using the toilet. Your plug can break down or put a dent in your toilet seat if it falls accidentally.
How to Stop a Plug From Slipping?
Your butt plug may fall out a lot if you’re a newbie. You have to give it time and keep on adjusting till the plug fits perfectly.
Tip: As a test – take a walk and jump for a while. Also, try sitting down with your legs closed.
What’s the point? To experiment with different body postures to see the response of your butt plug. If all is good, you won’t feel uncomfortable.
Here are some tips to keep your plug from falling out:
Find the Correct Size and Shape
As mentioned above, buy a butt plug that’s within the small to medium range and has a T-shaped base.
The flared base will make your ass sore and uncomfortable to keep the butt plug in for a long time.
If you’re experienced in anal play, it’s better to go for the medium one. Wearing a small butt plug can easily slip out if your asshole is loose.
Another thing to keep in mind is its neck. An anal plug with a thin neck won’t stay inside your ass for long. So make sure the body is a bit broad, and the tip is broader.
Don’t Over Apply the Lube
Yes, lube is very, very important. But know the limit!
Take a generous amount and apply it to your ass and on the butt plug’s tip. Once the butt plug is inside and you don’t feel any irritation, there’s no need to apply the lube again.
It’s better to use water-based lubes if you plan to wear your butt plug in public regardless of the material. Why? Silicone and oil-based lubes are extra slippery!
So just to be on the safe side, use the water-based lube.
Completely Insert the Butt Plug
You have to make sure your butt plug is fully inserted. Otherwise, it will keep on slipping. So, don’t half insert it and go about your day!
However, if you can’t take the whole butt plug in, that’s nothing to worry about. Just avoid going out wearing a butt plug if that’s the case.
You will need patience and practice to stretch out your anal muscles. It won’t happen in one round. Relax and keep on trying!
Change the butt plug if it’s falling out even after precautions. A wearable butt plug can prevent accidental slips and save you from going too deep.

Can You Leave a Butt Plug in During Pregnancy?
Being pregnant doesn’t have to mean a break from butt plugs. In fact, your libido may increase during pregnancy due to higher levels of estrogen.
So this calls for a more exciting time in bed with your partner, or you can enjoy going solo.
However, you should consult your doctor first before using a butt plug. If you have an uncomplicated pregnancy, your doctor will not put any restrictions.
But if that’s not the case and your pregnancy is of high-risk, you may have to refrain from using sex toys.
Constipation
Anal pleasure is not the same when you’re constipated in your pregnancy.
In general, constipation makes you feel uncomfortable. When you’re pregnant, the discomfort doubles because you feel heavier down your abdomen and uterus.
In such a situation, wearing a butt plug may not give you satisfaction. You may even end up feeling more irritated.
However, some people have reported positive results using butt plugs to help constipation. Make sure to ask your doctor first.
Hemorrhoids
If you’re suffering from piles or hemorrhoids, avoid using a butt plug. Some piles are internal and not painful at all, but it’s still not a good idea to insert something inside your ass.
Why? The swollen veins may bleed with penetration.
In the case of external hemorrhoids, your butt plug might not even go inside even if you use a good amount of lube. And that will hurt and bleed as well! Try not to trigger anything and stay safe.
Placenta Previa
A placenta is a thick layer above the cervix that provides nutrients and oxygen to your baby through the umbilical cord. It also removes waste material.
In placenta previa, the placenta shifts from the top or side of the uterus and hangs toward the cervix. What does that mean? Your cervix gets partially or totally covered!
Women suffering from placenta previa may have heavy vaginal bleeding and need immediate medical care. As you can see, it’s not safe to use a butt plug if you go through this during your pregnancy.
In fact, doctors recommend against any type of sex for the baby’s safety.
Use a Condom as a Precaution
Wearing a butt plug won’t harm you if your pregnancy is going smoothly. But again, you should take the necessary steps to ensure maximum protection for your baby.
No matter how high-quality your butt plug is, try not to use it without a condom. This is not the right time to have any kind of bacterial infection.
It’s better to be safe than sorry. Next, clean your plug and take proper care of its hygiene, whether you use it with a condom or not.
Can You Sleep With a Butt Plug Overnight?
If a butt plug makes you feel great, why not sleep with it?
Well, you shouldn’t. To understand the reason behind it, you have to know your biology.
Your rectum doesn’t have pain receptors deep inside. So if anything goes wrong, you can’t figure it out because you won’t feel the pain.
You have to be careful about this whenever you wear a butt plug for a long time. If you feel discomfort at any level, don’t ignore it and take the plug out.
So when you’re sleeping, you won’t know how your body responds to the plug.
Although some people are completely okay to sleep with a butt plug in, it’s not a good practice.
And secondly, you don’t know in which position you will toss and turn while sleeping. You can hurt yourself unconsciously, and you won’t even know!
The main thing is the pleasure, right? You won’t feel that while you’re asleep, so what’s the point in taking a risk?
Wear it after you wake up!

Facts
