EasyGlide Anal Water Based Lubricant – Compatible with Latex and Silicone – Non Sticky Anal Lube – 150ml

Product Information

THE REVIEW: As one person writes, "By far the best anal lube we’ve used to date. Water-based yet still viscous enough to use for longer running anal play. A little goes a long way." Store it in the fridge as it’s a natural product and doesn’t leave it for more than a week as aloe vera can go bad. Make sure your toys are clean before use and you have a good lube stash. What should you do for aftercare post-anal play? Now, if you are a condom user and want a homemade anal lubricant that is safe to use with condoms, I also have a recipe for you.

While we're all agreed that lube, in general, it great stuff, the best lube for one situation is not necessarily the best lube for the next. There are vast differences between different brands and formulations, and between different ways of using lube. Finding the best lube for you means thinking about what you're really trying to achieve.Again, enemas come with serious risks, especially if you use them improperly: It’s possible to perforate your colon or rectum, which can cause internal bleeding, inflammation, or even sepsis. Using enemas more than two to three times a week or with too much force can rinse away the mucus that protects your rectum, cause a dangerous imbalance in electrolytes, and disrupt your body’s natural defecation process. You also shouldn’t use an enema if you have hemorrhoids or anal fissures, since it can make them worse and cause pain. That’s a lot of worry for a less-than-guaranteed result—the reality is, you still might see poop during anal in the end. If you really want to use an anal douche, though, it’s always safest to ask a doctor about it. According to data from Orlando Health’s Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women and Babies, other STIs a condom helps protect against include chlamydia, genital herpes, genital warts, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, and syphilis. Which means, OF COURSE you’re going to use a condom, and lubricant can help keep yours from tearing. "Condom breakage and injuries during anal sex typically occur when things aren't well lubricated,” explains Dr. Gonzalez. What to consider when shopping for anal lube: Just be sure to protect your sheets and mattress – rancid oil smells in the bedroom are nobody’s idea of a good time. Oil-based lubricants are slippery and long-lasting, which is why sex experts like them. Coconut oil-based lubes especially have become popular in recent years. However, “oil-based lubes cannot be used with polyisoprene or latex condoms, as the lube can cause them to weaken and break,” says Mason. We do recommend using condoms for any kind of sex, so ensure that you find a compatible option (like lambskin, nitrile, or polyurethane condoms) should you opt for an oil-based lube. What to look for when shopping for anal lube The Ingredient List: Certain lube ingredients are known to cause vaginal irritation and/or infections—including glycerin, nonoxynol-9, and propylene glycol—so these are best avoided. You’ll also want to stay away from parabens (i.e. any ingredient with a name ending in -paraben), which have been shown to disrupt the endocrine system. Finally, steer clear of any lube containing sugar or sucralose, unless you want a hell of a yeast infection.

While we can clench and unclench our outer sphincter consciously (try it right now), the inner sphincter cannot relax unless you are super duper chilled-out inside. If you’re the receiving partner, calm your mind, steady your breathing, and try to identify and let go of any tension you’re holding inside of your body. You or your partner should begin by slowly massaging the outer ring of the sphincter and surrounding areas until you feel the anus relax. Don’t jump the gun — you have plenty of time to get to the main event. You might notice that lube is often unnecessarily gendered, but Goodparts is changing that with this pure, high-grade, four-ingredient silicone lubricant. Great for folks with sensitivities, this formula is pH-balanced and free from both glycerin and parabens, and since it's formulated from silicone, it'll never evaporate or dissolve in water—meaning it's never absorbed into your skin. While it’s often assumed that anal sex is an act that must take place between two people, the reality is that we can often experience anal sex alone – and enjoy it. Any act of masturbation is an act of giving yourself pleasure, so this naturally applies to anal play too.’ I recommend not storing it longer than a few weeks as it’s a natural product with no preservatives. Oil: Coconut, avocado and sunflower oils can be used, or they can be synthetic, like Vaseline. They are not recommended for use with a condom and can cause irritation.Besides the base ingredients of oil, water, or silicone, lubes often have other ingredients to enhance their function. Aloe vera is a common one that provides natural lubrication and moisturization. Vitamin E is another commonly added ingredient with similar benefits to aloe vera. All of the experts we spoke to discouraged the use of flavored or scented personal lubricants for anal, vaginal, and oral sex. What’s more, avoid glycerin in your lubes, as it contains sugar, and that can alter vaginal pH, SELF previously reported. Water-based lube is also the best lube for sensitive skin. According to Engle and Dr. Queen, you should also avoid petroleum-based lubricants, and anything with parabens or preservatives. Oh, and please don’t put Vaseline down there. If you use a lube with numbing agents that gives you “tingly” or desensitizing sensations for vaginal sex, Dr. Queen says to skip it for anal play. “Anal sex can be painful when it’s not done right, but you want to listen to those messages and respond accordingly,” she says. “Slow down, add lube, take a break, ask your partner to be more gentle, etc. You don’t want to ignore your body’s signals. If you’re numb, you won’t receive those signals clearly, which can put you at risk.”
