EasyGlide Anal Relaxing Lubricant – Anal Water Based Lubricant – Compatible with Latex and Silicone - 150ml

Product Information

For one, you can’t use it with a condom because it degrades condoms made from latex and polyisoprene. THE REVIEW:"So I bought this after doing plenty of research and was curious if this would be a good lube for anal intercourse…and [it] EXCEEDED the expectation of just being another basic silicone lube," writes one customer. "We tried it on both of us, and the texture is unlike any other brand...[and] we have tried many brands to date. It seemed to make everything go in and out easy with very little lube degradation or anal pain." The anus is sensitive and needs a well-balanced pH level to be happy. Lotion contains A LOT of ingredients that might disrupt the pH balance in your bum-vironment. Using spit to lubricate the butt during sex is impractical, ineffective, and prone to STIs. (Bad, bad, bad!)

All of the experts we spoke to discouraged the use of flavored or scented personal lubricants for anal, vaginal, and oral sex. What’s more, avoid glycerin in your lubes, as it contains sugar, and that can alter vaginal pH, SELF previously reported. Water-based lube is also the best lube for sensitive skin. According to Engle and Dr. Queen, you should also avoid petroleum-based lubricants, and anything with parabens or preservatives. Oh, and please don’t put Vaseline down there. If you use a lube with numbing agents that gives you “tingly” or desensitizing sensations for vaginal sex, Dr. Queen says to skip it for anal play. “Anal sex can be painful when it’s not done right, but you want to listen to those messages and respond accordingly,” she says. “Slow down, add lube, take a break, ask your partner to be more gentle, etc. You don’t want to ignore your body’s signals. If you’re numb, you won’t receive those signals clearly, which can put you at risk.”

If you’re into anal sex like pegging and fisting BUTT afraid it might hurt, worry no more! Here are the best anal lubes you should try with your partner.

If you're on a budget: Durex makes an affordable silicone-based lube perfect for anal sex - Perfect Glide. It's safe to use with condoms, gentle on the skin and lasts a really long time. Try relaxation exercises: Take some time to relax your mind and body. You can practice deep breathing, meditation, or even take a warm bath or shower to help you unwind and reduce tension. Oil-based lubricants are slippery and long-lasting, which is why sex experts like them. Coconut oil-based lubes especially have become popular in recent years. However, “oil-based lubes cannot be used with polyisoprene or latex condoms, as the lube can cause them to weaken and break,” says Mason. We do recommend using condoms for any kind of sex, so ensure that you find a compatible option (like lambskin, nitrile, or polyurethane condoms) should you opt for an oil-based lube. What to look for when shopping for anal lubeWhenever we talk about anal sex, questions about poop inevitably pop up, so it can be helpful to know going in what you can expect. So first, let’s walk through what actually happens inside your body when you poop. Food starts in your stomach, where it gets broken down. Then it passes through your small intestine, where it gets digested even more. The remaining food waste—that’s poop—gets stored in your large intestine, which is a long tube also known as the colon, according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.

Lidocaine: Another local anesthetic similar to benzocaine but slightly stronger and longer-lasting. Relax your sphincter muscles: The key to comfortable anal penetration is to relax the anal sphincter. You can do this by taking deep breaths, exhaling slowly, and consciously relaxing your pelvic floor muscles, like you are having a bowel movement to help the muscles open up.

Seeing as others had mentioned it, the first thing I did with this lube was smell it. It definitely has a nice minty smell, not too strong and not too weak. The second thing I did was taste it, and you can't really taste that smell - whether that's good or bad is up to you! It did however leave a slight tingling sensation which I rather liked. Hemp is known as a miracle plant and can be used for a variety of purposes. But did you know that hemp seed oil also works as a natural muscle relaxant? Butt Eze pairs the natural relaxing properties of hemp seed oil with a quality silicone-based gel for an impressive, all-natural anal relaxant. EasyGlide lubricants are some of the cheapest you can find (€7.95 for 150 ml is really nothing). It is safe to use with condoms and toys. The bottles are easy to open and it's also very easy to dispense the right amount. The lube is fine if you don't have too many demands and don't want to spend too much money.

Unfortunately, there’s a bit of a catch here, which is important for expectation-setting. When you poop, your body should expel all the stool in your rectum, but some fecal matter might get left behind. While you probably don’t have to worry about pooping on your partner, you should know that they may be exposed to some visible or invisible fecal matter, Dr. Chinn says. Yes, it could be a safe and natural lubricant for anal play—but it’s not the best anal lube alternative. Why? Unlike your vagina, the anus does not self-lubricate—nope, not even a little bit. "No matter how turned on you may be, there is nothing to prevent unwanted friction unless you add lube," says Amy Boyajian, CEO and co-founder of sexual wellness boutique Wild Flower. "Not only does this help to prevent painful microtears, but it will make anal sex way more pleasurable."

What you should avoid in an anal lube

The EasyGlide Relaxing Anal lubricant has added ingredients that, according to the description, would have a slightly numbing effect. This is useful, especially if you find anal sex a bit painful. It is a water-based lubricant and therefore safe to use with a condom or toys. It has also been clinically tested and found to be skin-friendly (hypoallergenic). In short, a promising lubricant. Don't be afraid to reapply "as soon as it seems like it's drying out and there's more friction," Vrangalova adds. "Keep the lines of communication with the receptive partner open. Encourage them to let you know when they feel more is necessary."
