Fifty Shades of Grey At Ease Anal Lubricant 100ml

This was our first time engaging in a little anal play, so I can't really compare this product to its competitors.

Nonetheless, I can say that this goopy product aided in our efforts to get our fingers in smoothly and easily. We had no difficulties with it and will continue to use it.

The bottle itself is very classy and refined in design - we like the Fifty Shades branding - some of the other anal lubes give a very different vibe from their packaging which is less attractive to us.

By a bizarre and unexpected turn of events, I ended up with no fewer than three different anal lubes to try out and review, all whilst on an anal hiatus of sorts.

So, having finally got around to the testing, this one was first out of the box of tricks.

We had only ever used the Tracey Cox Supersex Anal Lube - which we were very happy with, but they unfortunately discontinued - so that's my point of reference.

For starters, the Fifty Shades anal lube is extremely thick. So thick that it often takes a while to get it out of the bottle! Luckily, this also means that it has some excellent gravity-defying characteristics, like a well-set Seville orange marmalade, so won't slip off dicks of any description as you battle with the inevitably awkward acrobatics of anal sex.

Despite its thickness, it quickly thins out once appropriately "spread" inside and forms a wonderfully protective and comfortable coating that we were both very happy with. No stickiness or unpleasantness, and no real need to reapply, just a perfectly smooth bumming experience. If I'm being picky, there was a very slight unpleasant tingle at the end, but it was nothing terrible and certainly wouldn't deter me from using it again.

An excellent product, but as I am loath to give anything with that horrible, tacky Fifty Shades branding full marks, it'll have to be a 4/5.

So this little bottle arrive for me and my wife to review. Both of us are fond of a little anal fun so a good lube is always welcome.

The small dark grey (think battleship at night) bottle is capped with a shiny lid. The lid has a shampoo type opening to allow you to squeeze the lube out. This is not the easiest thing as the lube if thick and the opening is quite small.

The lube itself is clear and thick. Once a generous amount is on your hands it spreads quite easy despite the thickness over whatever you need lubricated.

With an anal lube, you want something slippery to the max and long-lasting. This stuff met those criteria brilliantly. It worked with various toys that we experimented with. The butt plugs and dildos we tried it with slid in easily with no irritation or pain. It also allowed me to fully inserted a beaded prober that I had struggled with for some time so hats off to it for that.

My only real criticism is the bottle seems quite small. You need a lot of lube for anal play, and whilst this stuff is long lasting and a little does go a long way, I do feel that perhaps it will not take long to finish it. I am not advocating for an industrial sized bottle but this small, sophisticated lube container might be a little too compact. Although I guess it could fit in a bag if you were planning some anal play on a weekend away.
