Personal sex lubricants increase wetness and are made of water, oil or silicone based lubes. These lubricants can enhance natural vaginal lubrication, or can be used for anal lubrication. After all, your body does not naturally produce friction-preventing wetness in your anus. If you want to enjoy the pleasures of anal sex, you will need a good lube.

Water based lubricants are the most inexpensive. Some couples prefer oil based lubricants, but these lubes should not be used with a condom, because they can cause breakage. Silicon based lubes are a bit more expensive, but last longer because they don't get absorbed by the body. Anal lubricants are designed for anal sex and are thicker than other flavored lubes to make penetration easier and remain on the anus longer. You will need a healthy dose of lube to use with most sex toys, especially the larger ones.

Make sure you read the product descriptions, some toys do not work well with certain types of personal lubes. Make sure you get the right kind so you can get the most out of your favorite dildo or vibe.
