Last Updated on June 9, 2025

People have all sorts of naughty secrets they keep. Taking your badass kinky self into the unassuming public brings immense psychological stimulation, and as you can imagine, powerful sexual arousal that you can take back home and express visa sex or masturbation.

Wearing a butt plug in public is one of those “naughty little secrets” that's far more common than you may think.

How do I know? I've been working in the sex toy industry for over 20 years and it would probably surprise you how often customers ask me to suggest a butt plug that can be worn in public and outdoors all day long without anyone knowing.

Discretion is key, otherwise you're just coined a weirdo if someone can tell you're walking around in the park or mall with a noticeable anal toy sticking out of your ass cheeks.

Do you want to learn more about the various butt plugs for the great outdoors and the benefits of public play? Read on!

Why Wear a Butt Plug?

First of all, what is it actually about butt plugs that people like to wear them? Well, those innocent sex toys are used for a variety of purposes. 

One of the reasons why they are so eagerly used is that they allow you to relax and stretch out the anal muscles so that anal sex is more comfortable. When you’re gently stretched out, the likelihood of experiencing pain or getting anal fissures during anal play is lower, and you can enjoy the sexual sensations even more.

Butt plugs also provide extra stimulation , both physical and mental. People who are only just getting started with anal sex use plugs to help them get comfortable with the sensation of it, no matter their sexual orientation.

Those playful toys are also used to provide foreplay before anal sexual intercourse. Having some fun with a butt plug before you let your partner insert their penis or a dildo is a great way to spice up the atmosphere in your bedroom, especially if you both like to try new things.

Benefits of a Public Butt Plug

Many people wear butt plugs in public because they simply like having them inside. Apart from the physical sensations they get, they also do it for the idea of having a naughty secret that only they know about. For many, the fact that they are doing something forbidden and that they might ‘get caught’ is exciting. 

For some, there's an actual reason for leaving the house or driving a car; the various body positions and extended use help with anal stretching. If you're preparing for anal sex, having a plug in place for a long time helps the anal sphincter to loosen so that when you do have anal sex, it feels good and reduces the likelihood of pain or discomfort during penile anal penetration.

Wearing a butt plug in public is also popular among enthusiasts of kinky sexual pleasure who like to engage in BDSM practices and various role-playing activities. For example, the ‘dom’ can make the ‘sub’ wear a butt plug to a certain social event as part of their sexual play. 

So, whether it’s running errands around town, working out at the gym, being at work, or sitting in a coffee shop, you can do any of those activities while having a butt plug inside. As long as you feel comfortable and effortless wearing it, you can certainly enjoy the various mental and physical sensations it offers. 

Tips for First Timers

Here's a bit of advice on prepping yourself for the first time you venture outdoors wearing a butt plug so that no one will notice:

• Limit the lube. We always say to use lube with anal toys, but when you'll be in public places, it's best to use as little as possible. If you use too much, people will see a tiny wet speck on your clothing from the lube that squished out during insertion. We recommend lubing up your asshole only, not the toy itself.
• Try it out at home first. Start off with wearing a butt plug in your home settings. You can clean, make laundry, or cook dinner. This will get you used to the feeling of a butt plug when walking around or sitting down with it in place so you're not walking like a penguin outside.
• Choose one with a small rectangular or round base. A big base will be really obvious. A thin rectangular one can tuck discreetly between your cheeks while the circular base can rest right outside of the anal sphincter completely unnoticed.
• Wear loose-fitting clothing. Leave your Lululemons at home. Tight pants will likely show an odd bump back there that will have people wondering what the heck is up with you. A flowing dress or skirt is best to hide a bulge.
• Wear underwear. Butt plugs can (and do) sometimes fall out. Wearing panties or underwear will help to keep it in place and prevent it from sliding out of the anus.
• Be prepared in case you will have to remove it. Always keep a plastic bag and some lube with you so that you can place the plug in it if you’re done for the day, or re-apply some lube if you feel like inserting it again.

Choosing Your First Public Butt Plug

You should be focused on your comfort above all else. Therefore, you may want to start with a small plug that’s relatively soft and will make it easier for you to get used to the experience of wearing a butt plug outside. 

Choose one that is simple and smooth with a thin stem to help hold it in place. If your anal plug has any specialized features or textures, you may find it difficult to go around with in public which will ultimately affect your well-being.

Flat-based butt plugs are the safest butt plug to wear. They are easier to remove thanks to their flared base, as well as give clothes a better look, for example, if you were to wear a pair of tight jeans while also wearing a plug. They aren’t bulky, which will make them totally invisible if someone should be looking towards your ass.

It’s important to remember that you should always remove it once you start to feel uncomfortable wearing it. This can happen when your body starts to absorb lube, making your anus drier, which can lead to irritation. For that reason, you should remove the plug as soon as you spot the first sign of discomfort.
