How to Use Anal Lube
Lube is a bottom’s best friend. Rectums can’t secrete their own lubrication like vaginas do–lubes fulfill that function
"Dr. Goldstein was right: silicone lube is the best for anal play."
Silicone Based Anal Lube™
Free From the Junk Your Body Doesn’t Need
No Glycerin
No Parabens
No Sulfates

We know friction can lead to higher risks of possible complications, such as STIs and anal trauma, like fissures and hemorrhoids. It’s incredibly important to use a lubricant with the highest lubricity possible, which is why silicone lube is my go-to for anal play.

How it works
Our doctor’s choice for enhanced, frictionless fun — this high-grade silicone lube enhances touch, never feels sticky, and reduces the need for reapplication. Hypoallergenic, condom-compatible, and free of glycerin, it’s even approved for underwater fun.
Benefits of Silicone Based Anal Lube
Silicone lubricant works well compared to other water-based lubes:
- Long-lasting: Silicone stays on the surface of your skin instead of absorbing. One pump lasts through your entire session without stopping to reapply, but there is no such thing as too much.
- Protects sensitive tissue: The thick, slick cushion cuts down on friction, which helps stop burning, chafing, and painful micro-tears.
- Never gets tacky: It stays slick the entire time and won't turn into a sticky, gummy mess halfway through.
- Waterproof: You can take it into the shower or hot tub, and it won't wash away.
- Safe with latex: You can safely pair it with your favorite condoms.Â
How to Use Silicone Lube for Anal Sex
- Prep the entrance: Put a nickel-sized drop on your fingers and spread it around the outside of the opening. Take your time to let the muscles relax before anything goes in.
- Coat your toy or partner: Lube up the entire shaft of whatever is entering. You want a smooth, even layer from tip to base.
- Start small: Silicone spreads easily. Use a little at first, and only add more if you want extra cushion.
- Skip silicone toys: Pure silicone bonds with other silicone and will ruin your toys. Stick to glass, metal, or hands.
- Wash up with soap: Because water alone won't break down silicone, use warm water and a good body wash or bar soap when you hop in the shower.

FAQs About Silicone Anal Lubricant
Is silicone lubricant safe to use with condoms and toys? +
Yes, silicone based lube is safe to use with latex condoms. However, it is not compatible with silicone toys as it can degrade the material. For silicone toys, it is best to use water-based or toy-safe lubricants.
Will silicone lubricant stain my sheets? +
While silicone lube is great for its endurance and slickness during playtime, it can stain sheets and linger on surfaces. We recommend using towels or play sheets to protect your bedding.
How do I clean up after using silicone lubricant? +
Our Butt + Body Scrub is specially formulated to quickly and easily remove any residue after play. It may also easily be washed away with warm water and mild soap.
Is your silicone lubricant safe and approved by medical standards? +
Yes! Our silicone lube is FDA 510(k) cleared, ensuring it meets rigorous safety and quality standards. But if irritation or discomfort occur, discontinue use immediately and consult a physician.
Can your silicone anal lubricant be applied to the vagina? +
Yes! While we recommend silicone lube for anal sex, vaginal use is also safe (just be aware that this is not a contraceptive and it does not contain spermicide). Please also ensure that your partner and toys have been cleaned thoroughly between vaginal and anal intercourse.
What is your return policy? +
Given the intimate nature of our products, we cannot accept returns.
How much silicone anal lube should I use to start? +
Start with a nickel-sized amount on your fingers and toy or partner. Because pure silicone does not absorb or evaporate, a small drop spreads much further than water-based lube, but feel free to use as much as you want.
Is this anal lube safe with all condom materials? +
It is fully compatible with latex and polyisoprene condoms. Avoid using it with polyurethane condoms, as silicone can degrade the material and cause it to break.
Can I use silicone based lube in the shower, bath, or hot tub? +
Yes. Silicone repels water and will not wash away, keeping you slick even under running water or in the tub.
