Product Information

Masturbation is a great way to figure out what you like and what feels good. You might discover that anal, perhaps a previously unexplored area, feels fantastic, and can then bring that knowledge into sex with a partner. We’ll answer the big question: yes, you might see some poop. It’s normal and to be expected, and frankly, if you’re deeply uncomfortable with the idea of fecal matter being anywhere near you, anal play might not be for you. Poo comes out of your anus. Accept that, move on. Taking anal sex slowly, and at a pace that only results in pleasure, rather than discomfort or pain, will help keep you and your anus healthy throughout your experience.’ Luna Matatas is a sex and pleasure educator based in Toronto, Canada, who coined Peg the Patriarchy and hosts b-Vibe's The Plug podcast.

We’ve said it before but we’ll say it again: relax and prepare mentally, first. Make sure you’re in the right headspace before you get going. Egg whites and fish oils have similar issues. They’ll also leave you with a smelly memory of what should have been a pleasant experience. Avoid petroleum products like Vaseline, and skip natural oil-based lubricants like coconut oil, too, if you're using a condom. Exactly what it sounds like, anal masturbation is the actual of sexual self-exploration using simply your body or toys, but focused around the anus.The vagina’s natural lubrication levels can be influenced by a wide variety of factors, including hormonal levels during the monthly cycle, pregnancy or menopause, but it can also be affected by things such as contraception and breastfeeding. To help enhance arousal and your experience, apply as much or as little lube as you like to the vulva before and during sex or solo play to best fit your needs. Where people are unable to obtain personal lubricants, they could use one of the following alternatives: Aloe vera In addition to avoiding the chemicals we mentioned above, you should also steer clear of petroleum. It could degrade condoms, cause infections, and potentially risk cancer.

Don’t get me wrong, orgasms are obviously great. But with any kind of sex, putting a ton of pressure on having one can cause anxiety, ruin the experience, and even chase orgasms away, so it’s better to just enjoy the experience without a goal in mind. This is just as true with anal sex. Especially because when it comes to anal sex, orgasms aren’t exactly straightforward. To explain why, we have to get into some interesting G-spot and P-spot territory. We’re here to help, with a beginner’s guide to approaching anal play solo. What is anal masturbation? But there’s one caveat with silicone-based lubes that’s important to keep in mind: They can degrade the material of silicone sex toys, meaning it’s not the best option if you’re planning to use toys. And, if you’re using a condom, you should stay away from oil-based lubes, as they can break down the latex. If you do use an anal douche, the safest way is with an enema bulb filled with water, Dr. Thomas explains. “You can use a drugstore enema that you’ve emptied and rinsed out first,” he says. Fill the bulb with lukewarm water and lubricate the tip, Dr. Thomas says. Then sit on the toilet, insert the tip until it’s just inside your anus, and gently squeeze until you feel water inside your rectum. Dr. Thomas recommends holding the water inside you for 15 to 30 seconds before releasing it into the toilet. The water that comes out will probably be brown at first. Repeat the process a few times until the water runs clear. Planned Parenthood notes that after using an enema, you should wait one to two hours before anal sex to allow your butt time to recover from any irritation and to ensure that you’ve completely emptied the water.Anecdotal evidence suggests egg whites may be a suitable lubricant alternative. This is because people believe it has a similar consistency to cervical mucus.

How we chose the best anal lubes Let’s start by clearing one thing up: Unless you urgently feel like you have to use the bathroom, or you have health issues that affect your gastrointestinal system, you’re probably not going to spontaneously poop during sex. A finger, penis, or sex toy would go in your rectum during anal sex, and that part of your body isn’t where your poop lives. (It’s stored further up and out of reach in the sigmoid colon until a muscle contraction called a “mass movement” empties it into your rectum.) Coconut oil comes in a solid form, so when you’re about to use it, either warm it up over hot water or simply rub it between your palms, and it’ll become runny.

In anal play, once you get past your anus itself, anal sex takes place in your rectum, which isn’t a storage area for poop unless a bowel movement is imminent. That means the odds of you actually pooping on your partner mid-act are very, very low, Dr. Moritz says. If you’ve recently pooped and you don’t have any health issues that make pooping a bit less predictable, like ulcerative colitis, a ton of feces probably won’t sneak up on you mid-anal. On the other hand, if you're using a condom, a dental dam, or any other kind of latex barrier, opt for a silicone- or water-based formula. That's because 'oils break down the latex in condoms,' says Oriowo. 'Generally speaking, as long as you're not using a silicone toy, you want a silicone-based lube.' So, avoid things like warming agents. Dodge ingredients such as glycerin and spermicides. With a water-based lube, consider the PH level of the area you're using it on: the anus has a relatively neutral pH, whereas the vagina is just slightly acidic, so use a lube which matches.Isabel Vasquez RD, LDN is a registered dietitian and freelance health and nutrition writer. Her work is especially focused on helping individuals divest from a one-size-fits-all approach to health and connect with their unique needs. You might feel more comfortable going to the toilet and having a shower first, to lower your chances of encountering large amounts of poo. Oral sex and lube unquestionably go together, given that good ol' saliva is one of the handiest lubes there is. There's generally little need to add lube when you're getting your mouth involved, then - but what if you want a lube which can pull a bit of double duty, and not necessarily taste like a suspicious chemical jelly while it's at it? The best lubes to use with toys are those which keep your toys - and, indeed you - in tip-top shape afterwards. And that's going to depend a lot on your toy. Some other ingredients you might find in anal lubes that you should avoid include: propylene glycol, or PEG, parabens, glycerin, petroleum, and dyes, says gynaecologist Sherry Ross, MD. 'All of these ingredients can affect the delicate pH of the anus and increase the risk of infection or irritation,' she explains.

Silicone: Don't contain any water or oils, last longer and are less likely to cause irritation. However, they are more expensive and aren't ideal for lower-grade silicone sex toys. It’s tempting to use something that takes away some of the discomfort you might have at the beginning of anal play, but it’s there to let you know that you have to change something—the angle or the amount of lube you’re using,' Wright adds. 'So taking that away can be really dangerous, because it’s much easier to tear the skin if you can’t feel what’s going on.' Ingredients to avoid when shopping for an anal lubeIf you're fluid-bonded with your partner — meaning you've chosen to stop using barrier methods, a choice that should be based on the results of comprehensive STI testing — it's still important to avoid transferring bacteria from the rectum to other parts of the body, for example the vagina. Switching from anal to vaginal sex without replacing the condom or thoroughly washing the penis or dildo can lead to a vaginal or urinary tract infection. 3. Anal play should be pain-free, so take it slow and pile on the lube (or spit). Although there is no scientific research that examines its use as a lubricant, yogurt has proven therapeutic properties for treating vaginal thrush. Olive oil LOLA’s Personal Lubricant is a relatively affordably priced option that is free from potentially harmful ingredients like parabens, glycerin, and fragrances. LOLA considers it to be hypoallergenic, meaning the risk of an allergic reaction is low compared to other similar products (however, it’s worth noting that the FDA doesn’t really regulate these claims). Things change. It's not something you can stop, but you can certainly put up a fight: the menopause absolutely does not mean an end to intimacy. It just means you'll need to be a little more creative. With a good lube, the dryness which tends to follow reduced estrogen in the vaginal tissue doesn't have to be an issue - though, like with other use cases, there are some things to consider.
