Butt plugs are sexy toys inserted into the rectum for pleasurable pressure and arousal. There’s been some buzz about the internet about wearing a butt plug for longer than play time. People are wearing them around the house or while out and about — even all day.
The question is: Can you wear a butt plug all day? Is it safe? Most of all, why would a person want to? For all the juicy details on this kinky little secret, read on.
Is it Safe to Wear a Butt Plug All Day?
Advantages
First, your most burning question: Why would you want to wear a butt plug all day? Well, because it feels good.
People who wear their plugs outside of the bedroom report:
- Constant pleasurable feeling of fullness and pressure (especially on the prostate)
- Additional stimulation when plug rocks back and forth a bit as they move
- A sensual haze over their daily activities
- Being warmed up all day and ready to go right away at night
Disadvantages
Despite this glowing endorsement, many doctors and even some avid ass play addicts discourage lengthy butt plug wear.
The reasons they cite are anatomical.
- The lining of the rectum is very delicate and contains lots of important blood vessels. When you stick something in there, it can restrict blood flow and lead to tissue damage and ulceration.
- An added risk is that you don’t have pain receptors beyond the first inch or so inside your rectum. You could be doing damage and not even know it.

Which Butt Plugs Can be Worn All Day?
Short and Narrow
Safest and most comfortable butt plugs for all-day wear are probably going to be shorter and have a narrow neck.
The anal entry isn’t used to being stretched out indefinitely, so a skinny neck is the best bet.
Wide and Flat End
If you plan to sit down, you probably want the wide end of your plug to be a low profile and fit snuggly against your body.
Look for plugs with flat or body contoured shape as opposed to one with a handle, ring, jewel, or button.
Flexible and Bendy
Since you are going to be moving around with your plug in, it’s going to be more comfortable to have a plug that moves and bends with you.
Flexible plugs of silicone are also going to be less likely than glass or metal to cause damage (Remember! You don’t have pain receptors after the first inch!).
Find a plug that bends when you bend, and moves when you move.

Considerations When Buying an All Day Butt Plug
Experience Level
As noted earlier, all-day butt plug wear is not for the novice.
Be sure that you are comfortable with short term wear and start with the smallest option first until you are sure how your body reacts to the material, shape and width of your plug.
Materials
Butt Plugs come in various materials from plastic and silicone to glass and metals. For the reasons cited above, we recommend flexible material like silicone, which is preferable as it is non-porous, hypoallergenic and soft to the touch.
Lube and Relube-ing
Cardinal rule of lube and toys: Do not use silicone lube with silicone toys as it can damage them. Cardinal rule of anal play: Silicone lube is best for anal play because it is absorbs slowly and lasts longer. What to do?
In the case of all-day butt plug wear, if you go with a silicone toy, you will need to use a water-based lubricant but there are also now many silicone/water hybrid lubricants on the market that are safe to use on silicone toys. We recommend Sliquid Naturals Sassy Water Based Anal Lubricant or Sliquid Silk Hybrid Lubricant for their natural ingredients and long lasting slide.
Safety first when it comes to wearing a butt plug all day.
Safety Concerns if You Want to Try an All Day Butt Plug
You MUST use Lube
The backdoor doesn’t roll out the red carpet like the front door. In other words, the rectum does not self-lubricate like a vagina. You will need lube. Lots of lube.
Silicone lube is best because it will last the longest, but it isn’t compatible with all plugs. If you must use a water-based lubricant or a silicone/water hybrid with your toy, remember to remove the plug and reapply the lube throughout the day.
Also, consider using a lubricant applicator to get more of the good stuff further in. Read our buyers guide on the best lube for butt plugs if you are interested in learning more.
Work Up To All Day Usage
Don’t plug up and run to work the first day! Try out your plug, wear it around the house to see if it is comfortable and if you can walk, sit, bend over, etc.
Start with shorter wear times first to make sure you don’t have any reaction or minor irritation to the materials or shape. Wearing it around the house first will also give you an idea of how often you will need to reapply lubricant.
Basic Safe Plug Rules Still Apply
Don’t try to plug with a bullet or other non-anal toy! Butt plugs must have a wide base to prevent it from being sucked inside. Emergency room trips to get a toy out of your rear are embarrassing for everyone involved.
Take it Out to Poop
Obviously. Re-lubricate before inserting.
Conclusion
With a few precautions and the right smaller, flexible plug (and LUBE!), you may be able to work up to all-day butt plug wear and enjoy this spicy little secret in your life.

I’ve been wearing a butt plug for seven years at least 90% of the time day and night, week after week…24/7/365. I find two main principles apply to being able to stay plugged, well, virtually all the time. The plug design and material, and the size. Like everyone else, I started out with medical grade silicone plugs, but they began to irritate after just a couple of hours, and no lube will last with a latex or silicone plug, and irritation will set in. Further…the smell and staining of the plug will soon make it ugly. The two best materials for a long-term butt plug is metal or glass—either medical grade stainless steel or strong borsciliate glass. A little bit of lube to get the plug inserted is all I need to wear it 12 hours at a time before removing it for BMs, showers, etc. Clean up is easy. And once I am assured of a clean and complete bowel movement, I wash the rectum with a bit of plain water until it comes out clear. I do not go deep with the enemas; leave whatever’s on the upper side of the sigmoid colon alone. The rectum is all you need to have clean. But the most important issue for wearing a butt plug forever…into the years (as I have done) is the design. I have the devi glass plug, but the Icicles #14 is virtually the same. the business part of the plug is shaped like an egg, the base of the egg is 2 inches in diameter. It sits on a shaft that is half the diameter of the base of the egg. Mine is 3/4 inches in diameter. The shaft resides within the sphincter, while the egg goes fully into the rectum and is within the direct location of the prostate (for men) and the base of the plug (which is just as important as the other two parts) is shaped like a donut. The overall plug—egg, shaft, donut—are configured with a slight curve, which follows the natural curve of the rectum, and the donut sits between the butt cheeks like a coin in a slot; that is, it is parallel with the butt crack, not perpendicular to it.
