Him is an oil based anal lubricant from ID, one of the world’s biggest suppliers of sexual lubes. As its name suggests it is aimed at the male market and comes in unscented and “leather”, rather than the more fruity and floral variants that other lubricants, including scented/flavoured lubes from ID normally favour.

Being oil based Him lubricant cream is long lasting and especially good for anal toys.

In testing we found that only a tiny amount went a long way, so the seemingly high price of the lube makes it a really good buy when you realise how effective it is in comparison with most other lubes. The cream clings to sex toys rather than rub off when you are using them, doubly important for anal play.

A few words of caution however. Being oil based Him lubricant cream is incompatible with latex condoms and will cause them to fail. It may also be incompatible with some sex toys for the same reason – it will dissolve them. Check the instructions on sex toys to ensure they can be used with oil based lubes and if in doubt do not use Him and your favourite toy!

Also ID do not recommend Him for vaginal use.

What they do say is that Him lubricant cream can be used for masturbation.

Him is available from a range of high street and online retailers.
