If you’ve ever enjoyed anal sex or played with butt toys, you understand why it’s important to use anal lube.
Using lube reduces the friction between the butt hole in question and whatever you want to put into it, and it’s the only way to prevent small tears in the tissue around the anus.
By making everything feel slick, anal lubrication allows you to relax, feel comfortable, and get the most pleasure from anal sex. Quality lubes just make butt sex feel better.
Almost any personal lubricant that can be used for vaginal sex can be used for anal sex, but you may prefer one specifically formulated for anal fun.
Anal lubricants usually have a slightly thicker consistency than regular lubes to provide more slippery comfort and enjoyment.
Sliquid Silk is a thick, super slippery, long-lasting hybrid lubricant for anal sex. It doesn’t contain bad stuff like glycerin or parabens. In fact, all of its ingredients are all-natural and vegan-friendly.
Like other hybrids, Sliquid Silk is mostly water-based lube with a little bit of silicone. This makes it longer-lasting and slicker than water-based lube. According to Sliquid, a bottle of Slick contains “11% to 13%” silicone by volume.
Our testers all liked how long they could go without having to reach for the bottle a second time, and how easy it was to reactivate with a little water or spit.
Even better, when you’re done having sex, it’s fast and easy to wash off your hands and body.
“When it dries, it doesn’t leave that gross, sticky feel on your skin like Astroglide. You don’t need soap to wash it off. Just running my hands under water is enough.”
Sliquid Silk is compatible with condoms and sex toys made from all different materials—even silicone.
Gun Oil Silicone is one of the top-selling silicone-based lubes, known for its slipperiness and long-lasting lubrication. The vitamin E and aloe vera in Gun Oil leave your skin feeling healthy and supple. Even better, it doesn’t contain parabens or glycerin, two of the most common causes of skin irritation.
Gun Oil gets along well with condoms and adult toys made of porous materials like stainless steel, glass, and hard plastic, but it shouldn’t be used with toys made from silicone or porous materials like TPE or PVC since it degrades their texture.
And like all silicone lubes, it’s a good addition to any trips to the beach or swimming pools since it remains wet in water.
However, after using it, you’ll need to make sure you wash with soap and water to avoid leaving a thin film on things you touch. switches and door knobs. If you are okay with that, you’ll love Gun Oil.
Sliquid Sassy is an all-natural water-based lube that’s hypoallergenic, glycerin-free, paraben-free, and vegan-friendly.
You only need a small amount of this and when applying it because it it stays wet for a surprisingly long time. Unlike thinner lubes, Sassy doesn’t drip everywhere after you squeeze it out—it stays exactly where you want it. It gives you the perfect amount of slide without feeling “unnatural”.
Not only is Sassy excellent for anal intercourse, it’s also very good with toys. It’s thick enough to “stick” to the toy’s surface, while still feeling smooth and slippery against your skin.
And when playtime is over, you feel clean because it doesn’t leave a sticky feeling on your skin.
Like all water-based lubes, it is condom-safe and can be used with all kinds of toys.
If you like to keep your lube life simple, Sliquid Sassy is ideal since it can be enjoyed in any hole and with every toy you own.
Pjur Analyse Me Silicone is made by a German company that’s been manufacturing premium personal lubricants since 1996.
Pjur markets Analyse Me as a “relaxing” silicone-based lube for anal penetration that can be used instead of numbing lubes, which experts discourage.
Unlike other lubes for painful sex, Analyse Me doesn’t contain lidocaine or benzocaine. It contains jojoba and amyris balsamifera, plant extracts that calm sphincter muscles, allowing eager newbies to enjoy anal sex. Most importantly, it really works. Testers were surprised by its effectiveness.
It is super-slippery and has a thin consistency that feels like pre-cum. One tester said that “it feels like a body fluid.” The thinness also improves sensations during sex by transmitting more of your partner’s body heat and genital contours.
When using The Butters Lube, a little goes a long way. Even after lots of thrusting and pumping, it doesn’t dry out.
When it finally dries, it leaves your skin feeling clean and moisturized, but not at all greasy.
If you're shopping for a good personal lubricant for prostate stimulation, butt play, and anal sex, it doesn't need to be made for specifically for anal sex. The most important factor is buying the right type of lube for the way you'll be using it.
Water-based lubes are the most widely used, and the most versatile, since they're compatible with every kind of condom and sex toy.
But water-based lubes can dry out really fast. And some can leave a sticky film or turn into “lube boogers” after drying. But the main ingredient–water or aloe–makes them the easiest to clean. And they don’t stain sheets, which is a big plus.
Silicone lubes are much slicker than water-based ones and stay wet much longer. They require less frequent reapplication, since silicone molecules aren’t absorbed by skin..Silicone personal lubricants are safe to use with latex condoms, but should NOT be used with silicone toys.
Silicone can take some scrubbing to wash off, which some consider a strike against them. But being hard to wash off in water makes silicone lubes perfect for beach sex and shower sex.
Oil-based lubes feels slippery and natural. They're wonderful for anal intercourse since they melt with body heat. But oil-based lubricants create microscopic holes in latex condoms, so they're best for monogamous couples and sexual partners you know and trust.
High quality oil-based lubes can be hard to find on store shelves, so if you’re in a pinch, grab any pure plant-based oils you if you have one around the house. Coconut oil and shea butter are fantastic for butt play of all kinds.
Furthermore, oil-based lubes are great moisturizers since they nourish your hair, skin, and nails.
But, and this is a big but, you should only use oil lubes made from organic, unprocessed plant-based oils.
Low-quality oil lubes made with petroleum will ruin sex toys if they’re made from silicone or porous materials such as TPE, PVC, or cyberskin.
Sadly, some oil-based lubes can leave dark spots on sheets. If you’re worried about that, do a patch test or just use with old sheets.
Hybrid lubes are slicker and longer-lasting than simple water-based lubes since they’re made from a blend of silicone and water. And just like with water-based lubes, hybrids can be used with latex condoms and all your sex–even your silicone toys.

Dillion Harper's Crush Fleshlight offers a great balance of realism and gentle stimulation that's ideal for beginners. Crush is a versatile sleeve with a 'mild to wild' personality and wonderfully varied textures that will bring you to your knees.
The Riley Reid Utopia Fleshlight blends textured walls with size-changing canals and tighter nodes to push through. If you like a soft, smooth sleeve with interesting variety, Utopia will knock your socks off.
The Fleshlight Destroya texture is famous for being one of the most intense and stimulating sleeves, and it definitely lives up to its reputation. But brute force intensity is not its only shining quality. Expect to be enveloped by spikey fangs that massage your member into an orgasmic mess.
The two leading rings of the Turbo Thrust Fleshlight simulate the feeling of lips and tongue during a blowjob. Each ring provides soft, consistent pressure on your shaft and a range of intensity as you thrust deeper inside the canal. Plus, the successively tightening spiked rings and the chamber of teeth that lay beyond them actually simulate the feeling of a sloppy wet blowjob. And they're only intensified by watching your cock fill up the canal. The Turbo Thrust is a must for every Fleshlight collector.
The Vibro Fleshlight is like the STU on steroids. The Vibro's special sleeve, called Touch, holds up to three battery-powered vibrators. The entire interior canal of the Touch sleeve is lined with cylindrical "fingers" that rub, nudge, and prod every part of the penis from the base to the tip, similar to the STU's sleeve design.
The Ice Fleshlight comes in both vagina and butt entries, but regardless of orifice, its legendary see-through Crystal texture offers a great combination of stimulation and variation. You get chambers lined with thick ribs, round bumps and rings of various sizes grip and rub your manhood, then open up to a nice gentle massage passage.The variation in textures means that you can get different sensations by focussing on different parts of the sleeve, so I find it pretty perfect for edging.
Dominika's Butterfly Fleshlight provides amazing realism and orgasm quality with a large attractive vulva that you won't be able to look away from. The first chamber has a very open channel containing large alternating pill shaped nodes that allows for quite a lot of movement and stimulation. The second chamber gets a bit tighter as you squeeze through a narrow passage of textured bumps. The third chamber of soft pointed nubs surround your cock and massage it from all angles.
Eva Lovia's Spice Fleshlight is that rare anal sleeve that feels realistic without being overly intense or aggressive. The Spice texture features a narrow entry chamber followed by a larger open area with small nubs, then finally another narrow ribbed chamber. This design creates a gentle suction effect that sucks your cock deeper into the sleeve. The combination of low to mid-intensity, realism, and mild suction feel awesome and result in high orgasm quality.
Brandi Love's Shameless Fleshlight is an extremely tight anal sleeve with a one-of-a-kind penetration experience. Stretch out her tiny little hole and push into a narrow, nubbed chamber that gives way to layers of honeycomb ridges that ratchet up the pressure.
With your dick fully inserted, Brandi's protruding buttocks tickle your balls and tease your sensitive undercarriage.

The first chamber of the Nikki Benz Reign Fleshlight is lined with a thick criss-cross pattern that feels amazing as you slide in, especially on your head and frenelum. Push further and you can feel several rings pop and squeeze your tip, before you enter into an even tighter area. There is no relief with this sleeve, it is intense sensation after intense sensation.
Ana Foxx's Silk Fleshlight is silky smooth, but not so smooth that it's boring. There are some mild variations in the texture but overall it's a medium tight and gentle ride that works well for longer and less intense edging sessions. The smaller channel with the little bumps feels delightful as you push into the third chamber, lightly teasing your tip, building excitement and the drive towards climax. This makes it a great texture to try at different stoke lengths and positions.
Riley Reid's Quickshot packs a surprising variety of textures into the Quickshot's smaller open-ended stroker design. Push past Riley's lips into her snug pussy and you'll feel the grip of stimulating gears. On the opposite end, her asshole has a nice tightness to it with a blocky pattern that offer a nice resistance.
