Anal lube

Would you like to try an anal lube and live an amazing experience? There used to be many taboos about anal sex, something that has been disappearing over time to become a fairly common practice. In fact, it occupies a prominent place in the intimacy of many couples.

Anal lube is a key element that offers a more pleasurable experience, making penetration smoother, which greatly reduces the risk of pain during penetration. However, it is possible that you don't know which anal lubricant is the most suitable among the different alternatives that exist on the market. 

At Zensual we are going to try to clarify it for you in the simplest way possible. Let's start!  

What types of anal lubricant are there?

There are different alternatives on the market, although not all lubes are equally suitable for anal sex. As a general rule, it is possible to use the same lubricant for vaginal penetration as for anal penetration. However, there are products with very specific characteristics that are suitable for this practice. 

At Zensual we have a type of anal sex lube that moisturises the area and helps to relax and dilate it. In addition, its effect is long lasting, preventing pain and increasing comfort. 

There are different types of lubricants that can be used for the anus, although not all of them are equally effective. Let's take a look at them!

• Silicone-based lube. These lubricants last a long time. They are thicker than water-based lubricants and can therefore last longer. They are the most suitable for oral sex and are also compatible with condoms so as not to compromise safety. 
• Water-based lube. These are composed mainly of water and are more liquid than the previous ones. Their effect is very similar to that of natural lubrication and they are more comfortable to use. However, they are more easily absorbed, hence the need for several applications during anal intercourse. They also ensure smooth penetration, although you will need to apply them more often. 
• Oil-based lube. These are the least common because they cannot be used with a condom. Their oily composition can damage latex, so they are not widely used for anal sex. 

How to use anal lubricant

When applying anal lube, be sure to apply it slowly and without a rush. If you want to, you can warm it up a bit with your index and middle fingers before applying it to the anal area by gently massaging it in a circular motion.

If you massage the external area calmly, it will help facilitate dilation. It is important that you do this calmly and do not move on to direct penetration. In fact, you may need to reapply a little more lubricant before moving on, especially if it is a fast-absorbing product.

It is also advisable to lubricate your penis and sex toys, if you decide to use them. However, we recommend that you do not pass them from the anus to the vagina, as they can be a source of infection. The same applies to condoms. 

The best anal lube at Zensual

At Zensual we have all the products you need to increase the pleasure in your intimate relationships, from sex toys to erotic cosmetics, through all kinds of lubes.  

In the case of anal sex, it requires a more specific lubrication, which is why we have shown you the best alternative among all those that exist. However, in our catalogue we have specific options such as anal dilator lube, especially indicated for anal lubrication in order to avoid pain.  

We also have numbing anal lube, which is applied to the mucous membranes of the anus to greatly facilitate anal penetration, thanks to its moisturising, relaxing and anaesthetic effect. 

From Zensual we want to offer you the most suitable lubricants for the anal area, those that last longer, slip easily and do not need to be applied as often. 

As we have already mentioned, silicone-based lubricants are the favourite ones for anal sex because of their great durability and silky touch, although they are not the most recommended in the case of erotic toys as they reduce their life expectancy. 

Pleasure is something fundamental in anal sex and to enjoy yourself and the other person, you need to have the help of a lubricant that suits your needs. Our products are high quality and you will only need to use a small amount at a time to reduce friction as much as possible and access the pleasure of anal sex.
