3 best lubricants for anal sex

The anus doesn’t naturally lubricate in the same way a vagina does, making the need for extra glide not only better but necessary. So lube is absolute non-negotiable during anal play.

Using lube is a key prep step to make sure your experience is comfortable and (most importantly) pleasurable. Lubeless anal sex can cause micro-tears to the skin and anus, leading to infection. Below are some best anal lube to use.

1. Coconut oil

Coconut oil is a great choice for anal, especially for anyone looking for a safe, all-natural lube option. Unlike baby oil or Vaseline, which will dry out and irritate the anal tissue, coconut oil will stay smooth. Just remember, this one isn’t safe with latex condoms.

2. Water-based lubricant

Some anal lubes can get thick and gross, but this one will never let you down. Water-based lube is thicker than most, giving you extra comfort during anal. It’s safe with condoms and great for all skin types.

3. Silicone-based lubricant

This lube is tried and true for anal play. It stays in place – even in water – which means it’s a good choice for anal play in the shower. The formula is very gentle and non-irritating to the skin.
