Best Lubes For Anal Sex:

If there's any time you're going to be needing some lube, it's during anal. In fact, I recommend against anal sex without lubrication with every single fiber of my body.

There's simply too much that can go wrong and too much possibility for injury, pain, and discomfort to not invest ten to fifteen dollars in a little bit of lubricant. As a female, I want anal sex to go as smoothly as possible with as little disruption to my life afterwards. And males should want the same for their partners, I've always said that sex is a team sport and you should always be looking out for your teammates.

The anus isn't self lubricating and truth be told it wasn't really evolved with sex in mind. Because of this, you'll need to supply your own lubrication to keep things fun.

A close second favorite of ours is none other than the Valm silicone based lubricant.

Perfect for reducing friction, I find that no matter how much I use it doesn't reduce the sensations I feel when having anal sex, and my wife feels the same way. It's paraben free but I believe it contains glycerin, so it isn't entirely hypoallergenic.

As far as consistency goes, I like it because it's a little bit creamier than other silicone lubes out there, it's a real delight when used for anal sex.

Tasteless, odorless, and stain-free, the waterproof design means that it can even be used in conjunction with a water based lube to create a whole new kind of fun in the bedroom. Application is a breeze with the pump style nozzle and I find that it is sensitive enough to dispense the perfect amount once you figure out how hard you need to press.

Our bottle has never leaked on us despite us traveling with it in our carry on luggage several times.

If I remember correctly, uber is the German term for "super" and this lube would be just as aptly named Superlube.

It's billed as a luxury lube because while it does add in some slipperiness, it naturally spreads itself out to make a very thin layer that is perfect for transferring sensation. If you're going to go through the very involved process of anal sex, you better make sure you end up feeling it.

What I like most about Uberlube is that after sex it will begin to go away and dissipate on its own without the need for an aggressively soapy shower. In fact I think it does a good job as a moisturizer once it dries out. For whatever reason this only happens once it stops being manipulated during sex, so it still has the longevity typical of silicone based lubricants.

If other lubes have left you feeling itchy or just generally strange after using them, I'd highly recommend trying out Uberlube, it's worth it. As per usual, it is completely non staining to boot.

Safe, tasteless, and odorless, we make sure to always have at least a pump left of Uberlube at all times.

While we've been burned in the past using water based lubricants during anal sex because they just don't go the distance, we were happy when we were recommended to try the water based Shibari lube and found that it worked great for anal.

Compatible with condoms, hypoallergenic, and really easy to wash away once the deed is done, it's probably the only water based lube I'd ever recommend for anal sex.

As far as consistency is concerned it's closer to a gel than it is a liquid which is necessary to make it not dry out and be long lasting enough for anal use. The taste and smell of Shibari is very slight and not what me or my wife would call unpleasant, but I wouldn't ask for a spoonful of it either.

It's also on the cheaper side so we typically just pick up a bottle whenever we're buying a lot of items anyways so we have a versatile lube we can use for everything including anal sex. It's great stuff in my opinion.
