I've wore one for about 8 hours during school and work one day. It was fairly small and didn't seem to cause any problems for me.

I've also wore a large plug(2" diameter) for a couple hours while waiting for my boyfriend to come home without any problems.

I have worn one for about 8 hours as well. I have heard of people sleeping with them in though, so 8 hours seems like not a big deal. I think I have heard of people that wore them for long periods (days) just taking them out to defecate, but I haven't ever done that so I cannot comment on the safety or how comfortable that is.

I've done overnight once. Safety wise there isn't a big deal from wearing them a long time, but it just seems like it could get inconvenient and ... messy now and then. After a while I do find that it gets a bit uncomfortable as the lubricant dries out or rubs off, and I'm not sure how to deal with that. Oil lubes seem to work better, but they're messier on clothing.

Generally now I keep my "plugged time" to ~4 hours max because of the lube thing. Removing a plug that's lost it's lube is not too fun.

Can I ask a really naive question? Why would anyone want to leave one in for a long time?

It's nice to leave it in for a while because it provides extended stimulation to the prostate and a prolonged feeling of anal fullness. For some people, keeping them in during the day can be a nice way of having a private thrill in public.

How long? For me it depends on the plug and what I am doing. If I find it uncomfortable I take it out. I carry a small bag in my purse for that purpose.

I love the stimulation esp when driving and running errands. Never went for eight hours, also for the prior reasons.

The Njoy med and the Tristan are my favorites for extended wear but for solo play or sex many others provide additional delicious stimulation towards orgasmic bliss.

How long you can wear an anal plug has got to be a competitive sport somewhere!

Anywhere between about 1 hour and 8 hours. It really depends on the plug and the day.

Going for endurance with a butt plug, me thinks would give you a very sore ass. Ouch!!

I like the competitive sport idea. Maybe it could be combined with curling in the winter games. That would definitely make curling much more interesting to watch!

LOL! Any place that embraces Butt Plug Retention as as sport is a place that might be worth moving to.

I think the longest I can go is about 9 hours. And that's only cuz I got stuck in traffic on the way home! And it was a pain and a million to get out!

But i went out to the mall once with it. Bought (and tried on) some jeans, shirts, and stuff. Got some shoes. Went to Best Buy. And the entire time I was crazy turned on. Every little thing I did had this new context and stuff.

Saying it out loud, that doesn't make a lot of sense, but it felt super sexy at the time. Me and my girlfriend once went on a whole date by starting it off putting plugs in each other. Then we went to lunch. Saw a movie. Went shopping (Side note: I think we bought our first blender or toaster or something that day). And we'd occasionally give each other a little slap on the ass... which is somewhat innocent in public (or raunchy, depending on your 'hood)... super sexy to the two of us. Had to wear some tighter underwear that day to keep the erection from showing all day!

IMO, it should be part of a televised national sport!

Wow, I would hate to be teased this much...

ok, now take this thread and put it with this one.

I've personally never had one in for more than two to three hours... But I'm reluctant to keep it in for too long for the aforementioned reasons of discomfort and lube depletion. I'm also a bit new to the whole butt plug scene too, so that makes me a little less likely to go to any extreme.

Wow. I've decided I am going to learn so much new stuff being apart of this community. This was my first "wow, I did not know that" thread. Good read guys! Thanks for the insight ;] I might have to try this.

Ive done 10 hrs but will probably not doing it again. The lube dries and its hard to get out.

I thought about getting one of these link for a voyeur/shopping fantasy.

Greetings All! So my question is, has the butt plug improved your ability to be sodomized or "take it"? Meaning does it loosen the anus? I get super tight very quickly, and I want to be a bit more loose/relaxed/open...

For long term wear: Invest in a good quality, thin stemmed plug that stays put, and a good thick lube. Non-porous stainless & glass tend to stay lubed longer, a curved plug is better, a good flared base is a must.

I prefer the NJoy Pure Plug large, typically worn 6-8 hours at a time, mostly for the naughty factor and always for the great fun afterwards, g/f likes her Pure Plug medium. Sometimes I sleep with mine in, never had a lube problem with removal. Everyone's different, re-lube as needed. Usually after a bathroom break and hot shower you should be able to wear one around a good while. (Always take a break and remove it if there is any pain or major discomfort, there should be none). Sometimes there may be very minor discomfort for beginners when first starting out, this is normal and usually goes away after an hour or so.

One trick I tried with this stainless plug (If I go out) was to weave a folded paper napkin or paper towel around the inner ring figure-eight style and lightly saturate it with some thick long-lasting skin moisturizing lotion like Aveeno daily moisturizing lotion link Stops it from chafing and a very comfortable topical lotion for longer term wear, works great. (This method actually provides a little extra lube to the plug stem area which can help keep you comfortable after several hours).

Long term wear quickly gets easier with practice, work your way up gradually. I often wear this plug out in public with no worries. Get the right plug and a thick, long-lasting lube and have some fantastic naughty fun!

Highly recommended for long term wear: NJoy Pure Plugs (medium or large) : link
