Extended wear butt plugs

Hi everyone nice to meet you. How do I know if my plugs are extended wear? I don't remember if the package said anything. I've been wearing mine 12-13 hours a day for the last 2 weeks and no problems but I'm definitely going to keep doing this so I need to know my plugs are safe to wear that long. Thank you!!

Three questions come to mind:

1. is there any pain - pain, if that is your objective is not bad but it is an indicator of possible damage

2. what plugs are you using

3. what is your objective - e.g. play, anal sex, other types of play

It's all in the shape. You just want a plug with a narrow neck for long term wear. The head of the plug can be any size as long as you have spent enough time training with smaller diameters that it does not hurt going in. But the neck should not be something that keeps your hole dilated if you want to wear it for more than just a play session.

If you feel any discomfort, slowly and gently take the toy out and re-lube it, then re-insert.

It might also be wise to choose a plug made of material that you can keep clean, such as solid glass or stainless steel. The luxotiq plug is a good shape and size with a narrow neck and comes in glass or aluminum which is as good as stainless steel but not quite as heavy. A lot of people also like njoy plugs for the narrow neck shape and the handle that sits comfortably between the cheeks. You can find both of these brands on amazon. I have no affiliation with any company mentioned. Use products safely and at your own risk.

Thanks guys, both plugs are that rubbery type material, the small one is about 1 inch diameter at the base and the bigger one is about 1 1/2 inch. I've been wearing the small one the most, I don't think it really keeps the hole dilated much. That's where I need to stretch tho!! I can get the big one in fine, it feels great but I can't keep it in the way I can with the small one. I guess it's not meant to stay in if you're not supposed to keep your hole dilated. How long CAN you safely keep your hole dilated like that? Thanks in advance xoxoxo

I like the cocklock from CHAINGANG for extended wear.you can get small to large balls & all stainless.

I love putting a black latex plug holder which goes around my wasit and up my crack to hold it in.lug up my ass and going out with it in there. I have a leather

InTraining,

I apologize in advance for a kind of long reply but you have some good questions and the answers are important!

Although a plug with the narrow neck required for constant wear does not keep your hole dilated much at all, I believe that if you are patient you will eventually be able to relax your sphincters more easily whenever you wish to insert or remove toys/body parts/etc.

I really don't know what the time limit is on how much time you can spend wearing a plug that keeps your anus substantially dilated. If you wore one of these long enough that you stayed very loose even after taking it out, you could still close yourself back up before too long by doing kegels to recover. It's just not something to do every day and all the time. I actually recommend kegel and reverse kegel exercises under any circumstances, and they will certainly help with anal training if you practice them for a few minutes a day both with and without anything inside you. Also do a reverse kegel to relax as you insert or remove anything.

You could try some anal toys with wider necks for dilation, and then set some time aside each day for working them in and out. Over a period of many days or weeks, you can move on to using the larger sizes after beginning your sessions with a warm up using the smaller sizes.

These seem like a good value for a set of dilators:

They also have a 1 inch diameter stainless steel probe that seems perfect for warming up with before larger insertions:

You could also use a set of gradually increasing diameters of these for dilation sessions if you want something really luxurious and made out of solid pyrex glass:

As with any other muscle training, it helps to take a day or two off every week or so. You may also want to try the njoy and luxotiq plugs I mentioned earlier, since glass or stainless steel or aluminum are smoother and create less friction inside you than a rubber type plug tends to do after leaving it in for a while. Another benefit of these materials is that your body can't absorb any chemicals from glass or stainless steel or aluminum toys.

And of course, always use plenty of lube. You may want to do some research on organic coconut oil for this. I have recently heard from others that it is a great lube.

As always, I have no affiliation with any company I mentioned. Use the products responsibly!

@ InTraining, I am BJ and I have been trying to wear my butt plug 24/7 all year round. I have a njoy large – 1.5" (38mm) in size. This is for extended wear along with meany others that are out there. https://shop.njoytoys.com/products/pure-plugs . What I can tell you is you must have a plug with a narrow neck for extended wear. What you should look at is stainless steel or glass. Silicone is good as well but tend to dry out fast and rubber is a out and out NO NO.

I started out with a small butt plug about 11 years ago just as a form of foreplay with a girl friend, just in the past two year I have been wearing a butt plug when I am out at the store or when I am at work. Now before we can help you we need to know the following ?

1) What is the name of your plug ?

2) Is it Glass, silicone, rubber or stainless steel ?

3) Is the base of your plug 2 inches or more ?

4) What lubricant are you using ?

5) What size is the bulb and stem ?

6) Other then extended wear what is your over all objective ?

7) Will you be wearing a butt plug harness ?

Oh my goodness everyone is so nice and helpful!! Thank you all!! @BJ55, it would just be easier to send pics of the plugs hahaha but I'll try to describe them, I can't remember the names of them, but I'm sure they're both silicone. When you say base do you mean the big square part at the end that prevents them from sliding in? I'm sure the bases are both 2 in, prob more for the big one. The part that stays inside me is only about an inch on the small one and an inch and a half on the big one. That one feels heavenly but won't stay in, its heavy and I don't think I'm wide enough yet, although I'm a total genius and managed to rig myself up a harness using a pair of really tight g-string underwear and a belt. They're both about 5-6/inches long and both start small and end big. For lube I use the stuff from shoppers drug mart or we recently got some ID Millennium silicone lube, but in a pinch I've used margarine, olive oil or face cream. I lube up about every hour when I'm wearing the plug for a long time. My over all objective? To be able to take my very well-endowed man's cock in there first and foremost - I'm crazy about anal sex but there's been too many times when we just gave up cause I was too tight and no amount of foreplay changed that. I'd also like to be able to gape, just a sexy little two-inch gape, nothing too extreme...yet!! I think gapes are the hottest sexiest things on the planet!! As to the question about the harness, well I have my own contraption I invented yesterday but not a proper one. My partner just bought me a doc Johnson gapers inflatable plug but we're in different cities, I haven't got to try it yet but I'm absolutely dying to use it!! Thanks again everyone for your advice, hope that answers your questions!!

Wow, this has turned into a great post! I prefer glass for any extended wear, but will definitely be adding an nJoy at some point.

I just picked up this dilator set (plastic) at a local toy shop for $35 http://www.zity.biz/gallery/image/109371

I didn't realize the made retaining harnesses (thanks for the link H C) so for now I just sit on them, though i'm a long way from taking the 2"

I don't wear mine out of the house, but I find that I tend to push it out just by moving around.

That is probably because the neck of the plug (area between the bulb and the base) is not long enough to allow closure. I have this problem too, as I walk about, the plug will slip out. Yet when I use a homemade plug,( with longer neck), it stays in just fine when moving about. I have been looking for some with longer shafts but have had no luck so far. Another possibility is that you may need a bigger plug.

Logical. I have no issues with the Aneros.

InTraining, you mentioned that you believe these toys are silicone, and also that one of the lubricants you use is silicone. As a safety precaution, please avoid using silicone lube with a silicone toy. Silicone can melt silicone, and you do not want your toy to melt inside you. In fact, since silicone can melt silicone, it's even considered a good idea not to leave silicone toys up against each other in a drawer or wherever you keep them when not in use.

Thank you HC! I'll definitely remember that. And yeah I've had the toys melting into each other thing happen, I learned the hard way!! Fortunately the toys weren't badly damaged but there's some discoloration etc. OK so no silicone lube for long term wear but the other stuff I have says propylene glycol, will that be OK? Or is that another name for silicone? Thanks!!

First all thank you HC, you are 100% right you never use silicone lubricant with a silicone toy and silicone toys must be stored apart from each other.

@ InTraining, Sometimes there is a great misunderstanding what a butt plug can be used for. If your end goal is to gape then a butt plug is not for you. However a butt plug is a great tool to keep your anus ready for the next step of your enjoyment. You will be better off taking the doc Johnson inflatable plug and inflating it just inside the anus itself starting with five minuets then make it a little larger and hold for ten minuets. What ever you do, do not push too hard. This can take anywhere from 6 months to three years.

Yes a gape is a sexy thing and a major turn on. Most of the time from my understanding of my gay friends taking a well-endowed man's cock is just like a large toy, lubricant, lubricant and more lubricant and when you think your done add some more.

Yes you are right the base or flange must be two or more inches long to be safe so that it will not slip inside. The first plug I got was silicone. I found myself relubing about every hour or so and that was with Astroglide gel. I found myself spending about $20.00 per week for this. One day my wife and I went to Costco and got some coconut oil so just out of the blue I put some on my silicone plug. Bingo I found my self relubing about every four to six hours. But now that I have a glass and a steel butt plug I only have to relube about every 8 - 12 hours depending on bathroom use.

You may also look at some of the nice dialator sets that is out there. I hope this is some help to you. As for myself I wear my plug for the enjoyment of it and knowing its taboo to some. Play safe and enjoy.

Happy plugging.

InTraining, that is another great question. I have just taken a moment to research it- I typed in "propylene glycol lube" on google and I found that it is in fact something to avoid because you don't want your skin to absorb this chemical, especially the skin of the anal and vaginal walls. If you want to know all the details, here is the link:

http://lovermagazine.ca/2011/06/lubes-101-–-a-guide-to-body-safe-lubricants-avoiding-chemicals-and-body-burden-2/

I still don't know if propylene glycol is used in silicone-based lube or other types of lube. But the article also discourages use of silicone-based lube altogether, whether it contains propylene glycol or not, as silicone lube coats the skin in a way that does not allow the skin to breathe. The article suggests sticking with "natural," water-based lubricants:

The best “natural” lubricants on the market that I have tested include: Yes, Good Clean Love, Sliquid, Aloe Cadabra, Blossom Organics, and Hathor Aphodisia.

Of course, you will also find in the article that just because a lube is water-based and claims to be "natural" does not necessarily mean that it contains no potentially harmful chemicals. So I would just use one of the brands deemed preferable by the author. Personally I have only ever used water-based lubricant and it works just fine for keeping a plug in for a few hours, then I need to take it out and rinse off the negligible amount of sort of dried up lube residue on the plug, put on a fresh coat of lube, and re-insert. But I think my next selection will be some coconut oil, which of course I will also have to research in order to find out which "organic" brands are actually "organic."

When it comes to any product you eat or use on your body in any way, it's amazing how many choices there are and how few of them are good choices.

Thanks HC , for more great feedback! Now I'm REALLY dying to try my new inflatable plug hahaha!! I also suppose I'll need to splurge on a set of dilators....but I kinda always wanted to try them anyway!! 😉

Ah, you are a lucky lady! The dilators and the Doc Johnson Gapers inflatable are certainly on my to-do list these days!

BJ, I just saw your post. You mention that the Gapers inflatable plug may be used without inserting it all the way, to stretch the hole more. I'm sure there are people who do this. Personally, though, I would be afraid of using it like that- I would fear that the toy might pop due to the pressure of the sphincters on the expanding portion of the plug. I would recommend just using it as inserted as it is designed to be used, and leaving the dilation up to the set of dilators.

@ HC, You are right. Gapers inflatable plug's can be used safely all the way in. However I have been told when you can not afford a set of dilators this is the best way to go. As for myself I have never tried it.

As for coconut oil the one I use is Carrington Farms. Pure, unrefined, cold pressed and 100% Organic extra virgin. Net wt 54 fl oz. right around $20.00 from Costco.any coconut oil you buy must be cold pressed to be USDA Organic. here are some links : http://store.carringtonfarms.com/coconut-oil-organic-extra-virgin-54-oz-jar/ http://www.amazon.com/Carrington-Farms-Organic-Virgin-Coconut/dp/B00CPZPYLS https://www.organicfacts.net/organic-oils/organic-coconut-oil/health-benefits-of-coconut-oil.html http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/coconut-oil-and-health

I hope this helps, I fine it to be awesome.

And of course by "all the way in" we mean the base of the plug is still on the outside, just to be clear to anyone else who might read this thread. Anyway, thanks again BJ for spreading the word on coconut oil. The article at the organic facts website that you shared the link to is such a comprehensive guide to coconut oil! Great find!

Thanks everyone for more awesome information! So yeah, it's true, organic coconut oil isn't easy to find, has anyone heard anything about olive oil?

I have never looked into olive oil but I know people use it. I am sure some kinds are more desirable than others. I spent a long time researching coconut oil before I placed an order. I found this article most enlightening about exactly which brands to look for and which ones to avoid. (the right kinds are very easy to find once you know what to look for):

Hello In Training and Everyone! I too am trying to train my little hole. This thread has been a fantastic read, thank you In Training for asking your questions, as they are among my questions as well. Does anyone have any opinions about using vasaline/petroleum jelly (excuse the misspelling) as a lube for anal toys?

After reading Post #24 let's add a bit of humor to this Olive oil stuff - remember to use the "VIRGIN" type on your virgin hole ! OK enough back to this plugging stuff !

Hello In Training and Everyone! I too am trying to train my little hole. This thread has been a fantastic read, thank you In Training for asking your questions, as they are among my questions as well. Does anyone have any opinions about using vasaline/petroleum jelly (excuse the misspelling) as a lube for anal toys?

I prefer vaseline for my glass butt plugs, my anal dilators, or my glass prostate wand. These toys are the ones that i'll leave in place for longer periods of time and don't see a lot of movement. Vaseline seems to be the best at "saying on the job". For anything that will be sliding in and out or needs to be free to a lot of motion, I prefer generous amounts of water based lube. Using water based lube after already lubing with Vaseline is extra slippery.

The other day I picked up some Vaseline that is scented with Cocoa Butter. It is my new favorite.

I was wondering does anybody use a inflatable butt plug for long term? I was thinking that (well the one we have) is nice and soft so I thought I would a good idea. Any thoughts?

Thanks matt

@Mmmmm I'm getting one tomorrow, I'm definitely going to try wearing it around, I'll let you know how it goes😉

I do not know what you mean by "long term" I have an inflatable vibrator-dildo that I put in while I am getting my equipment and such set up, and I have worn it for a few hours. I find that I have to pump it a time or two from time to time, so that means that I have to have the speed control and the inflator bulb sticking out of my pants. Obviously, I cannot wear that wen other people are around and can see them sticking out of my pants.

I have a glass dildo that I keep in all day or all night. I really like having it in when I am on my feet and can feel my flesh moving around it.
