A few days I’ll be getting my Aneros Helix. I’m so excited!! 🙂
But from what I hear, Aneros sessions require lots of time. Now I’m not new to anal play. I’ve used a dildo before many times. I use Astroglide. Even though it does the job, it usually dries up quite quickly. So would like for you all to recommend me a lube that’s perfect for Aneros sessions.

coconut oil
If you cover the toy in a thin layer of Vaseline first and then use any old water based lube over that, it will almost never dry out on you.
And don’t use silicone based lube with the syn (silicone) models.
I use Swede Aqua Confort
really no glycerin into it
Okay, late post – you probably already have your new Helix and begun your journey of exploration and adventure! Hopefully using a natural lube free of parabens, petrochemicals and other harmful ingredients. But I’ll comment anyway for your future reference. :)
I’ve only used plant based oil lubes for anal – for the staying power and natural qualities. Coconut oil works fine along with pretty much any other plant based oil. But it’s pretty runny and thin once it warms up, and it will stain so you should put down a towel or whatever.
I’ve been playing around with making my own lube by combining ingredients to improve thickness, etc. Here’s my current formula which works pretty well:
• ½ cup Coconut Oil
• ¼ cup Shea butter
• 4 tsp beeswax pellets
• 1 tsp vitamin E oil
Add all the ingredients to a double boiler setup. Doesn’t have to be fancy – I use a 1 cup glass measure in a small saucepan of water. Melt it all together under low heat. Maintain temperature between 170-190°F for about 20 minutes. Transfer to your storage container and put it in the freezer for about ½ hour.
Shea butter adds some creaminess to the mix. The beeswax helps to thicken it and slows absorption. Vitamin E is an antioxidant and skin conditioner. It’s long-lasting, completely natural and *way* less expensive than commercial lubes, even using all organic, unrefined ingredients from Amazon.
Alternatively, you can use a commercial lube. I suggest educating yourself about ingredient safety and osmolality in particular before you lay out cash for something that you may be sensitive to, or which may harm you. For a good comprehensive look at lubes in general, you might find the following of interest: [DangerousLilly’s Big Lube Guide](http://dangerouslilly.com/lube-guide/) The section entitled “Plant-Based Oil Lubes” with recommendations is a little more than half-way down.
That said, I confess that I haven’t bought or tried any of them because the prices seem high for what you get.
