If you enjoy anal sex, it's important to choose the right condom with proper lubrication. Without proper lubrication, the condom can break easily or come off during intercourse. And the type of lubrication you use is also critical for comfort on both the giving and receiving end of anal sex.

The lack of natural lubrication in the anus makes it susceptible to tearing which, coupled with the anus’ other job as waste management plant, makes it even more susceptible to infection. Even without tearing, getting fecal matter inside of your peehole can put you at risk for a number of infections, not in the least would be a urinary tract infection (UTI).

Use Plenty of Lube

If you are going to have anal sex – suit up! Using lubricated condoms is a great idea, but try to find one that has extra silicone lube. It's also a good idea to have some extra lube on hand, like a sillicone-based lubricant, which is long-lasting and does not absorb as quickly. The anus is made to absorb water, so water-based lubes won’t last long and oil-based lubes are not compatible for use with a latex condom.

Whether you're anal sex beginner or a pro, it is not recommended to use a condom or lubricant that is cooling, warming or numbing. If anal sex is too painful, your body is telling you to stop. Since the anus is super absorbent, it could also be harmful to introduce these chemicals into the digestive track.

As of 2023, the FDA has approved all ONE brand condoms for anal sex.  We feel confident that, in time, most condoms that are currently approved by the FDA for vaginal sex will also be approved for anal sex. You'll find our favorite ONE brand condom at the bottom.
