Lube for Anal Sex

 

Anal sex with a partner or sex toy play. Personal lubricant is your best friend.


Anus is not a self lubricating area. That is why choosing the right lubricant is very important.

Anal lubes are usually thicker than ordinary lubricants. They look more like a gel than like liquid. They have two main advantages:

  • They don’t dry out as fast.
  • Lubricant stays where it has to and doesn’t spread so easily.

Silicone based lubes are a good choice for anal sex. They don’t dry out as fast as water based lubes and they don’t get absorbed by the skin. If you use water based lubricants you will probably need to reapply them. I wouldn’t recommend using silicone based lubes with silicon sex toys. If you are planning to use a silicone vibrator get a different type of lube. With silicon lubes you will probably need some soap and water to wash them off.

I would advise against using flavoured lubes and especially lubes that contain any kind of anaesthetics. If anal sex is painful you should feel it so you don’t hurt yourself.

With a large selection of anal lubes you should have no trouble finding the one for you.
