Once you get the hang of using a dildo, you might start to want it more and more. Your sessions can get longer and longer, as your muscles become more accepting of your new toy.
But how long is too long? Can you keep it in… all day?
Well, there’s plenty of other toys that you can use for long periods of time. Butt plugs, yoni eggs and kegel balls are even designed to be kept inside the body for extended periods.
When it comes to dildos though, long term use is a little less common. It’s still possible, and plenty of people still do it, but there’s a few things you should keep in mind.
You’ll need to take a few steps to make sure you’re safe and won’t hurt yourself, choose the right kind of dildo, make sure you can keep it secure and take regular breaks, and give your body time to recover with proper aftercare. If you follow our advice, you’ll be wearing your dildo as long as you want before you know it!
Precautions to Consider
Before you get started on your all day dildo sessions, there’s a few precautions you should take:
- Make sure you use the right dildo. We’ll cover this in more detail below.
- Hygiene is more important than ever! Your dildo will need to be cleaned regularly to avoid infections.
- Don’t forget the lube!
- Pay attention to your body. If it feels strange or painful at any point, take the dildo out.
- It might fall out! So don’t wear it in a place where it might be embarrassing for a dildo to fall out of your pants.
- Take breaks. No matter how much of a pro you are, you aren’t gonna be able to wear a dildo 24/7. Accept it and plan breaks during your sessions.
Make Sure It’s the Right Type
The first question is pretty simple. Which dildos can you wear all day.
While there’s not too many specific requirements for an all day dildo, there is one rule you need to follow. You need a dildo made from a non-porous material.
A porous material is one that has small holes in it, which allows bacteria and moisture to build up inside the material. Non-porous materials are completely solid and don’t let this happen.
When it comes to dildos you’re going to wear for a long time, this means the top picks are metal and glass. You often see silicone listed as a non-porous material too, but this is only true if it’s pure silicone. If it’s any kind of mixture of materials, then it won’t be completely non-porous. Take into consideration whether you pick a textured dildo or a regular one because the ridges might make you feel uncomfortable over time.
But why do you need a non-porous material? Well when you use your dildo for a short period, any bacteria that builds up in the pores is washed away when you clean the toy. If you’re keeping it inside for hours at a time though, this bacteria can multiply and cause problems.
Other than this one consideration though, you’re free to choose whatever dildo you like! But if you're a beginner, it might be overwhelming to choose from a variety of sizes available. Don't fret! A beginner dildo or a slim dildo can be a great choice to start your journey with. Using a slender dildo allows you to pay more attention to your personal comfort, which is of great importance when it's your first time.
If you’re going to be keeping an anal dildo in your butt, then ALWAYS make sure it has a flared base. This stops it getting sucked into your body and disappearing!
Make Sure You Can Secure It Properly
Keeping the dildo in place is the next challenge. Most of them are long, thin and smooth, without much to really hold them in place. This is especially true for types that are more unique in shape and design like fantasy dildos. They’re also often heavier than other toys like butt plugs, and don’t go all the way inside your body like a yoni egg.
If you’ve ever tried training your pelvic floor muscles, you’ll know that they can tire quite quickly too, so holding a dildo in place with only your own willpower is also quite difficult.
So how do you keep your dildo in your body?
The simplest option is to just use your underwear! As long as it’s tight fitting and supportive, it should be able to keep a toy in place if you aren’t doing anything too vigorous while wearing it.
For a little more support, you can try a harness. Some strap on harnesses work for this, especially the ones designed for double ended dildos. Or you can create your own harness using ropes, but this could be a little uncomfortable in your pants.
Take Frequent Breaks and Keep Applying More Lube
No matter how much having a dildo inside you turns you on, it’s not realistic to expect to keep it in for an unbroken period of many hours. If you’re doing it anally too, then you’ll definitely need to take it out to use the bathroom.
As you go through periods of less arousal, maybe while you’re doing something dull at work, it’s natural for things to dry up a bit. Even the best lube won’t last all day, so you’re going to need to reapply it.
This is a great opportunity to take a short break. Take out your dildo and flex your muscles a bit. Let them recover and if they do feel sore or achy then consider leaving the toy out for the rest of the day.
When you put it back in, reapply your lube. Simple!
Now, if you're someone who has been using dildos for a while and you are looking for new adventures, go a size up and try an extra large dildo. You'll feel fullness and satisfying pressure, but they require a lot of preparation both mentally and physically. Always remember, safety first!

It’s Important to Do Aftercare
Aftercare is always important during any sexual activity, but after a whole day with a hard dildo inside your body, you’ll definitely want to spend a little time on self care.
First of all deal with your body. The area may have dried out throughout the day, so feel free to give everything a thorough wash and apply some moisturizer to help the skin.
Mentally, you might need a bit of time to decompress. There may have been close calls during the day. You might have had an orgasm at an uncomfortable time. Or you might simply have found it a bit strange.
Give yourself some time to work through these feelings, and think about how you might change things next time.
Oh, and don’t forget to clean your dildo! It’s probably gonna be a bit gross after hours inside your body!
Don’t Do It Often!
When you’re excited about a new kind of sexual activity, it can be easy to do it a little too much.
Make sure you take your time with long term dildo wear, starting with shorter periods of time and working your way up to longer sessions. Take regular days off, to give your body time to recover, and if you feel discomfort or pain at any point, then take it out straight away.
Follow our simple tips and you’ll be walking around wearing a dildo before you know it! The only question now is which dildo you’ll choose…
