Anal Lubricant Texture Guide

Texture descriptions can help narrow a product search, but terms such as gel and thick are not standardized across brands.

More fluid formulas spread easily. Compare viscosity descriptions and packaging because thinner products may dispense differently.

Gel descriptions generally indicate a thicker consistency, but actual viscosity varies by formulation.

Products marketed as thick can differ substantially, so check manufacturer descriptions and customer-facing specifications.

Texture and base type are separate characteristics. Water-based, silicone-based and hybrid formulas can each vary in viscosity.

Pumps, tubes and squeeze bottles may suit different formula consistencies.
