If you are planning to have anal sex, then a lubricant specifically for anal is an absolute must-have. Since the anus does not moisten itself like the vagina, you can make penetration easier by using lube. It is then more comfortable, it prevents tearing of the skin and it will increase the pleasure for both parties.

Why a special lubricant for anal sex?

The ideal lubricant for anal sex is a different one than the one for vaginal sex. Lube for anal sex is thicker and remains effective longer. Silicone-based lubricants are a top choice because they are less likely to soak into the skin. As a result, you don’t have to reapply it in between.

Some lubricants for anal sex contain a narcotic effect. Be careful with that. Yes, you may feel no or less pain, but the pain you feel is also there to warn you to take it easy.

If you are using a sex toy – such as a butt plug, a dildo, or anal beads – it is better to use a water-based anal lubricant. The silicones in a silicone-based lubricant can affect the silicones of your toy. But if your toy is made of a different material (metal, for example, or glass, then a silicone-based anal lube is just right.

If you use a condom for anal sex, then oil-based lubricant is not a good idea. Even then, prefer to use a silicone- or water-based anal lubricant. Oil will increase the chances of the condom tearing.

How do you use anal lube?

The more lube you use, the better. The some lube on the anus and on the object or body part that will penetrate the anus.

Sometimes it can also be nice to apply lubricant to the inside of the anus. For this, you can use a lube applicator or injector. These are a kind of syringe that you fill with lubricant. This way you can get the lube deeper into the rectum.

Always read the manufacturer’s information carefully so you know if the lubricant you are using is right for you and in what situation you want to use it.
