A day collar is a collar designed to be worn by a sub during the day, outside of the house, without drawing too much attention to it. They are typically worn after a Dom collars his submissive once they enter a BDSM relationship.

Why do subs wear day collars?

Day collars are designed to be discreet whilst still signifying the submission of the wearer to another person. If you are into the BDSM lifestyle and enjoy the feeling of being owned, then you may always want some token to show it. A leather thick submissive collar is probably going to attract a lot of unwanted attention if you are out on a lovely stroll with your Master, but a discreet day collar would not.

What types of day collar exist?

A day collar isn’t necessarily created with your BDSM kinks in mind. Anything can be be turned into a day collar. What’s important is the significance it has for you.

Classic examples of BDSM day collars include chokers, tight necklaces, string necklaces, pendants or any other discreet item which goes around the neck.

If you decide to go with a necklace, you can always buy one with a lock to symbolise your servitude, or an O-ring, which is a recognisable symbol in the BDSM world, perhaps a more discreet version of a D-ring collar found on animal leashes.
