Anal lubricants – thicker and longer-lasting
The anus does not produce natural lubrication, which is why a lubricant is always needed for anal sex. Anal lubricants are usually thicker than standard ones and provide longer-lasting lubrication.
What you’ll find in this category
- EGZO HEY – water-based, banana-flavoured, 50 and 100 ml, and a 100 + 50 ml set.
- OYO Personal Aloe and Panthenol – water-based, with aloe vera and panthenol, 50 ml each.
- Durex Perfect Gliss – silicone-based.
How to choose
- A water-based gel is suitable for all condoms and sex toys, but it is absorbed more quickly – apply more and top up as you go.
- Silicone-based gel maintains lubrication for longer. Do not use it with silicone sex toys.
- Do not use oils with latex or polyisoprene condoms.
Avoid lubricants that numb the area: pain is a sign that you need to slow down.
Good to know
When having anal sex, use a new condom and do not reuse it for vaginal intercourse. Read the ingredients before using the gel for the first time. If you experience pain, a burning sensation or bleeding, stop and consult a doctor.
