Anal Lubricant

What are the different types of anal lube?

Just like a standard lubricant, anal lubes come in a range of types for different uses and experiences. Making a decision on which lube to buy can get confusing and it often depends on what toy you’re using and what you’re actually doing.

The water-based anal lube is the perfect, all-rounder lubricant. Water-based anal lubes are formulated to be thicker and more durable than standard lubricants and is the most popular choice for anal toys and beginners to anal sex.

Silicone-based anal lubricants are smooth, silky and perfect for advanced anal players. Silicone-based lubes are often more slippery and not as thick as water-based lubes. Remember though, silicone-based lubricants are safe for condoms, but shouldn’t be used on your silicone sex toys.

Desensitising and Warming anal lubes
Spice things up or numb the sensations with different lubes designed to offer alternative sensations or increase the heat. Pain or discomfort is common in many people when it comes to anal play. Desensitising lube is great to reduce the risk of extreme pain, but err on the side of caution as you may accidentally hurt yourself and not realise it!

What is the difference between normal and anal lube?

The beauty of lubricants is how diverse they are and how many different categories they can fall into. Anal Lubricants tend to be thicker in consistency than standard lubricants and often are more durable and longer-lasting. Most anal lubes come in the standard types (water, silicone and oil) but are designed specifically to protect your anus from damage, tears or pain. As with all lubricants, we recommend checking the labels to ensure they are safe for your preferred sex toy, condom or skin type.

How do you clean up lube?

So, the party is over and it’s time for clean-up duty. Like most of us, cleaning is a chore. Lubricants are designed to be easy to apply and easy to clean. The only difference is how much elbow grease you need to remove the lubricant. Oil-based lubricants often absorb into the skin, so any excess may just need to be removed with soap in the shower. Silicone-based lubricants are often touted as the hardest to remove, but soap and water will do the trick! Water-based lubricants simply will wash away in the water.
