For anal sex, silicone lubricants are the best choice, because they don’t dry out as quickly and let you enjoy uninterrupted moments of anal pleasure without worrying about chafing.

You can use these gels not only during partnered anal sex, but also for self-pleasure and exploring your limits in the anal area, because they’re non-sticky and leave a silky feeling on the skin.

The experience can be intensified even more with warming lubricants. However, if you prefer natural lubricant ingredients, choose a water-based lubricant – such gels often contain no fats or oils and are fragrance-free. That makes them suitable for allergy sufferers and sensitive skin.

They also wash off easily and leave no traces behind. For anal sex, higher-viscosity water-based gels are also a good option.
