What kind of lubricant should I use for anal sex?

According to an online survey of my friends and fans, Sliquid Sassy and Wicked Jelle Anal Lube are the most popular anal sex products. However, please be aware that lube is a personal product, like shampoo, lotion, and deodorant. You might not be a good fit for a brand that works for your best friend. Nevertheless, there are a few fundamental facts regarding anal lubricants.

The Base

In the world, lubricant comes in four varieties:

• Water-Based Lube: Although these lubes are typically thicker, they can also feel sticky and evaporate more quickly. Sometimes, stopping and applying more is necessary when using water-based lubes.
• Silicone Lube: Although silicone lubes are thinner, their lifespan is extended. They are sensuous and incredibly silky.
• Hybrid: A combination of silicone and water-based lubricants.
• Oil-Based Lube: Avoid using oil on gloves, latex condoms, or any other barrier. Because anal intercourse exposes the recipient to a high risk of sexually transmitted infections, I do not advise using oil lubricants during anal play.

The Fine Print

Read the ingredient lists and practice good consumer behavior. In addition to the basics mentioned above, several additives might or might not benefit you. Some lubes, for instance, contain peppermint or menthol. These components have warming and cooling properties. Your body's reaction to menthol will determine whether it feels wonderful or horrifying. You can test it, but wait until you know what you like before purchasing the extra-large bottle.

Benzocaine, which produces a numbing feeling, is another prevalent ingredient in anal sex lubricants in particular. Because they have either felt pain during anal play or fear it, some people are drawn to these numbing products. The issue is that anal intercourse shouldn't ever cause pain. I want you to experience any pain if there is. Pain is a sign that something is amiss and that you should stop playing and adjust your technique.

The Bottle

Instead of a squeeze bottle, I prefer lubricant in a pump bottle. Pump bottles simplify getting additional lubricant with one hand, without interfering with your enjoyment. Although I am a sex educator, I am also a shy person. I steer clear of bottles that are extremely explicit because of this. I avoid anything labeled "anal," "backdoor," or anything too sexually graphic. Said, I don't want any family members or construction workers who might be in my house to discover anything explicitly sexual. I try to find a product that comes in a container like a shampoo or lotion. You might not be as concerned.

Going to a reputable store with tester bottles so you can feel the difference with your fingertips is the best method to locate the ideal lube for you and your lover. Or get tiny sample pillow packs of different kinds and bases from your preferred internet merchant. Find the one that makes your butt happy and keep playing!
