Any type of penetration in the anus or vagina will always be smoother with some type of moist lotion or lubrication. It is absolutely a must for anal sex because of the lack of natural fluids in this part of the body. Between moist lotions and lubes, there are hundreds of flavors and aromas to choose from.
The three different formulas used in manufacturing any moist lotion are, water based, oil based, or silicone based. Water based lubes, because they are water soluble, are the least irradiative to your skin. Water based moist lotion also works the best with latex products such as latex condoms. These types of moist lotions are also stainless and very easy to clean up after. Water based moist lotion will dry out sooner than oil and silicone products and does not work well for sex in water such as a bath or pool.
Oil based moist lotions will give you a very creamy feel. It is formulated from vegetable and mineral oil. Oil based moist lotions do not work well with latex toys and condoms. You can always choose a condom that is not latex such as polyrithane if you want to use oil based products.
Silicone based moist lotion and lubes last the longest time but are not latex compatible. Silicone formulated products work the best for sexual water play because they are waterproof. Pick flavors and aromas that you and your partner will enjoy and experiment with the various formulas available. It wont take long to find out what works the best for you and your partner, for the various acts you want to perform.
