Anal lube
Thicker, longer-lasting lubes for anal play, in water-based and silicone formulas from Pjur, Swiss Navy, Sliquid and more.
Choosing an anal lube
The body does not make its own lubrication for anal play, so lube is essential, and a thicker formula that stays put makes a big difference. Water-based anal gels, such as Pjur's Backdoor and Sliquid's Sassy, are safe with every toy. Silicone anal lubes from Swiss Navy and Pjur last much longer and do not dry out, but they should not be used with silicone toys.
Apply generously to both the toy or partner and your body, and reapply often. We recommend avoiding numbing or desensitising products: discomfort is a signal to slow down, use more lube or try something smaller. Our guide to the best lube for anal explains the choice between water-based and silicone in plain English.
Anal lube is part of our lube and care range. Pair it with a butt plug or prostate massager, and see anal douches and toy cleaner for preparation and aftercare.
