Do you need a specific type of lube for fisting?
I suppose you can technically use the standard lubricant that you’d get for more standard forms of intercourse, but there are definitely more specific types (like you’ll see in this guide) of lubrication that you can opt when it comes specifically to fisting, or taking large sex toys inside of you.
Your better option is to look for a thicker cream that is still a water-based lubricant, and also look for one that has desensitising properties (at least if you’re new to fisting, stretching or taking XL dildos).
Fisting can be intense – it requires the absolute best quality lube to be done both safely and enjoyably. The below provides reviews of the top 10 anal lubes for fisting on the market.
This solid option by Doc Johnson offers a three in one lube, suitable for fisting, sex and masturbation. It starts off creamy and becomes more and more slick as you use it, and it’s long lasting meaning you shouldn’t need to use loads and loads.
One nice feature is the simple pump used to dispense the cream, which is easy to use even with slippery hands. It’s free from any nasty stuff like synthetic colours or smells, plus it’s vegan friendly, which will be a positive for lots of people!
Rear Entry, another option from Doc Johnson, is a little more specialised. As well as being a lube, it desensitises the applied area, making for a more comfortable fisting experience. It achieves this by using the anaesthetic Lidocaine; if you find fisting uncomfortable or are new to the experience, this is definitely a solid choice for you.
It comes with an easy to use pump top, and the silicone based lube will last for hours and hours. Lidocaine doesn’t work equally on everyone, so be wary that results may vary from person to person!
A slightly more pricey option, this premium cream from the Master Series will allow you to get the most out of your fisting experience.
With a 5% benzocaine content, it will slightly numb the area to which it’s applied, making it another good option for beginners or the more sensitive among us.
Water based yet blended with both oil and silicone, this is a great option for those who enjoy long sessions either fisting or playing with big sex toys. Get it for yourself or for your partner – it comes in a lovely box and would make a thoughtful gift!
This lube is, understandably, incredibly popular with a lot of people. It’s completely natural, organic, and vegan friendly, making it good for both the planet and your body. For those who don’t like flavoured lubes, it’s tasteless and non staining, making it a highly versatile option.
While it’s all natural, unlike some options it doesn’t contain any sugars – instead, as a thickening agent it uses plant cellulose, meaning it won’t cause any bacterial infections of UTIs. This makes it a great option for both the environmentally conscious and sensitive.
A great water based lube, this option also doesn’t break the bank! A well priced option, it’s compatible with both latex and polyurethane condoms should you wish to take a break from fisting.
It won’t stain, making it a good option for any holiday romps in hotels, and the transparent pump bottle makes it easy to see how much lube is left – you don’t want to be running out unexpectedly on your special night! Long lasting and oh-so-fun, this is a great lube to add to your collection, or to get for your first experiences.
One thing that sticks out about this option is how long this lasts! No awkward needs to reapply when you’re in the heat of the moment, it also reduces the amount you need to buy.
It’s water based and safe to use with all sex toys and condoms. While it’s water based, it’s surprisingly thick, which is why it lasts so long. It’s scentless and has no colour, another good option for those worried about tastes or stains.
It’s relatively cheap, and comes in a nice little bottle… great for travelling with!
Yet another well priced option, while this might not be expensive, it certainly has a premium feel to it. With a bio-static olive leaf extract (I know, fancy right) to help enhance how long it lasts, this is certainly an excellent option on this list.
It’s water based so, again, safe to use with any toys and condoms, it’s surprisingly protective of sensitive areas! All natural and plant based, and in a nice squeeze bottle, this anal fisting lubricant unleashes a whole world of fun.
This option from ID is serious business. It’s water based but incredibly thick, and lasts for ages. When it starts to wane in efficacy, just add a little water and a new power is unleashed.
Condom and sex toy compatible, it’s not just for fisting – any penetrative pursuits that need a nice helping hand, and this is your lube. The small, squeeze bottle and flip over lid make it a nice small travel option that will slot nicely into a washbag, and won’t turn any heads at the airport.
This great silicone based lube is up to anything you can throw it – the only thing you can’t do is use it with silicone sex toys. Ideal for fisting, this thick yet smooth lube contains jojoba extracts which both relax the applied area and help create a long lasting silky smooth lube.
You only need a little, and that little goes a long way. It takes just minutes for the relaxing effects to kick in, and then you can get down to business. A really nice premium option, this powerful lube is definitely a great choice.
Last but not least, we have this lube option from the Fifty Shades of Grey Collection. Water based yet long lasting, this great, thick lube has moisturizing effects which make even the most intense of fistings a great experience.
Just add a little water should the lube start to decrease in efficacy, this is a great little bottle of lube! With a nice container, this would make an excellent gift, especially for any fans of the novel it gets its name from!
