Anal Lubricants
Anal lubricants are thicker than other types of lubricant. It stays on the skin longer providing a more comfortable feeling by reducing friction & sensation.
Unlike the vagina, the anus does not self-lubricate. Therefore, lubricant is a must for comfortable and enjoyable anal play.
Some anal lubricants feature numbing agents, such as benzocaine, to help with relaxation. Other anal lubricants feature natural anti-bacterial agents.
Anal lubricants can either be water-based or silicone. If using a silicone sex toy, we recommend using a water-based anal lubricant. If you are using a glass, metal, wood, or ceramic anal sex toy, we recommend using a silicone anal lubricant.
If you are new to anal play, relax, start slow, and communicate with your partner. Anal exploration should be fun and exciting and should not hurt.
