Hey friend, so lately I’ve been hearing a lot about people using dildos for anal play and wanted to know more. While I’m no expert, I did some digging and wanted to share what I found out about what you can use for lube!
First off, it’s really important to make sure you use enough lube because the anus doesn’t self-lubricate like the vagina does. Many people swear by silicon-based lube for its staying power, but if you use a silicone-based dildo, you should avoid pairing them together as it can damage the toy. A good water or hybrid-based lube is more likely to work better and last longer, but everyone’s preferences differ.
You don’t have to limit yourself to only using lubes for anal play. If you want to get really creative why not try something like coconut yogurt or honey! While these probably don’t last as long as a good lube, they can be a nice treat to drive your partner wild. Use only a small amount, and again make sure you don’t get it on your sheets!
Now, there are times when you shouldn’t use lube at all -like if you are using instruments like enemas and douches. For these, using just plain, warm water is the best option. You don’t need to add anything else and adding anything else may cause infection or irritation.
These are just a few of the lube options that many people are using for anal play. Ultimately it’s a personal preference and you should pick the lube that works best for you. Keep experimenting with different lubes until you find the perfect match for you.
As I mentioned before, lube is really important when using dildos for anal play. Its key to make sure you are using enough and that it lasts long enough for you to play. This is why I always opt for a hybrid-based lube if I’m going to use a silicone-based dildo. I find this combination works best for me for the most pleasurable experience.
Then, there are desensitizing creams and gels that are specifically formulated for use during anal sex. These often contain Lidocaine as the active ingredient and can help the user relax and improve experience during anal sex. While these can be beneficial, it is important to be cautious of overuse, as it can prevent the user from being able to experience the full sensations of anal play.
Also you want to make sure whatever you are using as lube is condom friendly. Certain oils like petroleum jelly, baby oil or some massage oils can actually degrade the latex in a condom your are using, making it less effective. It’s important to check the back of the lube label or just avoid it completely if using condoms as a precaution.
It is always important to make sure that you are taking the time to properly clean up all of your toys after you are done. Make sure you are using toy cleaner, hot water and anti-bacterial soap, and use a condom if you are sharing your toy with someone else. Proper cleaning is key when using any toys.
Now, because it is totally personal, I think everyone should experiment a bit to see what they prefer. Different lubes, creams and gels can make a huge difference depending on the person. Be sure to find a lube that makes you feel comfortable and enjoy the ride!
