Not all chemicals are the devil’s playthings, but there are some you might want to avoid when looking at anal lube. Baby oil as a lube carries the risk of poisoning, infection, and damage to barrier methods of contraception. A word of warning: natural oils (like coconut oil) and oil-based lubes may have the right consistency, but they can erode latex, which is why Sinclair says to avoid using coconut oil or almond oil when using condoms. If you're using sex toys, she also suggests avoiding silicone-based lubes with sex toys. "Using silicone lube on a silicone sex toy can cause bending, warping, and the ruin of a toy," says Sinclair "Use a high-quality, water-based lubricant instead."

Unfortunately, since it is silicone-based, it isn’t compatible with silicone sex toys; it can cause them to deteriorate over time. If that’s a dealbreaker for you, we recommend our best water-based lube, LOLA’s Personal Lubricant. Make sure your toys are clean before use and you have a good lube stash. What should you do for aftercare post-anal play? You want to get the best coverage possible for anal sex, so put a generous amount of lube around and inside your anus before you start. When it comes to safe anal sex, using the best anal lubes for your needs is critical. “[Lube] reduces friction to lower the risk of condom breakage. It can also help to prevent small tears that can be painful and increase the risk of infection,” says Jess O’Reilly, Ph.D., sexologist and host of the Sex with Dr. Jess podcast. “And lube can enhance sensation and pleasure!”

While we're all agreed that lube, in general, it great stuff, the best lube for one situation is not necessarily the best lube for the next.

Dr Elizabeth Daprè, an academic GP trainee explains, 'When planning penetrative anal play always make sure to use a lot of lubricant. The anus and rectum do not self-lubricate as the vagina does, and without the liberal use of lubricant the delicate rectal tissue is at risk of damage.
