In this video, I wanted to discuss the different types of lubricants to use with butt plugs or anal toys. Here are the main points:
Best Lubes For Anal Toys and Butt Plugs
- Water-Based Lube:
- Universal but originally designed for vaginal use, which self-lubricates.
- Anuses absorb water, making this lube sticky and tacky over time.
- It is not ideal for extended play or long-term toy use as it requires frequent reapplication and can “lock in” the toys, making them hard to remove.
- Safe for use with condoms.
- Silicon-Based Lube:
- Long-lasting and doesn’t require frequent reapplication.
- Compatible with most toys made of platinum-grade silicon.
- Not recommended for use with condoms.
- Advised to wash off after play to avoid any interaction between the lube and the silicon toy.
- Oil-Based Lube:
- Long-lasting but can irritate the lining of the butt.
- Not safe to use with condoms.
- Good for larger toys or depth play.
- Test for skin reactions before use.
General Tips
- Condom Safety: Only water-based lubes should be used with condoms, as other types can deteriorate latex.
- Cleanup: Regardless of the lube type, always wash your toys with warm water and antibacterial soap after use to prolong their lifespan and prevent the transmission of bloodborne viruses.
- Sterilization: For toys shared with others, sterilization is recommended to reduce the risk of transmitting viruses like Hepatitis B/C or HIV.
