    Don’t do this too often though! Prolonged dilation (>2 hours) can damage your sphincter and give you incontinence in the long run. Probably not a problem if done rarely, but if it happens regularly it can become a problem

      Sadly, there’s a lack of formal studies to determine how often is too often. I think “pay attention to your body” is generally good advice. If anything is sore or hurting, it’s probably time to take a break. Kegel exercises also help keep the sphincter from weakening over time, useful advice even for people who aren’t into butt stuff.
