Anal lubricants

Anal lubricants are formulated to reduce friction where natural lubrication doesn't occur, so the main question is which base suits you: water, silicone, oil or a hybrid of water and silicone. Each one behaves differently in terms of glide, how long it lasts and how easily it washes off.

Water-based: comfortable and easy to rinse away

Water-based gels leave no greasiness or stains, rinse off easily and can be used with sex toys. Sensilight Analgel 60 ml is designed specifically for anal lubrication and has a consistency and viscosity closer to silicone products while keeping the advantages of a water base. If you prefer a formula built around natural ingredients, Luxuria BIO Anal Lubricant 100 ml is an all-organic water-based gel with natural extracts.

Silicone-based: long-lasting and water-resistant

Silicone gels don't dry out and keep their lubricating properties even in the shower. Lubesil 50 ml is odourless and leaves no sticky deposits, a good choice when you want ease of movement without reapplying.

Oil-based: cream textures with a soothing finish

Oil-based creams don't react with bodily fluids and don't dry out on contact with air. Lubran 100 ml is enriched with jojoba and calendula extracts, while Beeasy is a cream lubricant with natural beeswax that softens the skin and improves ease of movement. Both leave the skin supple and help prevent burning and irritation. Bear in mind that oil-based products are not described as condom-compatible.

Hybrid: the versatile option

Hybrids combine the gentleness of water with the durability and glide of silicone, and remain safe to use with latex. Lubrax 100 ml is enriched with aloe vera; for more demanding sessions, Fistan 250 ml and Boyglide Fisting 250 ml, the latter developed for men's skin, come in larger sizes.
