Is it safe to leave a vibrator on for long periods?

[Myia]

Each time I use my vibrator before I go to bed, I always get a little worried that I might fall asleep with it in me. Would it be such a bad thing if I did?

Fuck around and find out may have some wild erotic dreams. Aka wet dream . I don't think it would hurt nothing maybe take a precaution and put a plastic liner in-between your mattress and bedding to make sure incase

That's the only down fall I can think of.

Also if your fear is simply it wiggling it's way out of finger grip reach simply tie a string to it or something similar that way that is not a factor

Using a vibe for too long can cause desensitisation and even permanent nerve damage long term. A simple search online will show you the potential pitfalls of long term use.
So use caution

As a word of caution, vibrating equipment of any description can cause long term and even permanent nerve damage.

If its a toy that connects to mains power it would be a good idea to leave running but i think most have a 20 min safety cut out built in.
If its battery powered then it'll just stop when its dead.

Late to the party on this one, but you should never leave anything inside longer than 8 hours (the same time limit for when you should change a tampon) because of the risk of toxic shock syndrome.
