What does a desensitizing anal lubricant do? It does two jobs. Like any lubricant, it cuts friction so toys and partners move more easily. It also contains a numbing ingredient, in this case 2 percent lidocaine, which gives a light numbing effect on the skin it touches. The distributor describes this as a way to ease some of the discomfort that can come with anal play. Because feeling is reduced, go slowly, and follow the directions printed on the bottle.
Relax: a numbing anal lube with a nozzle applicator
Relax Desensitizing Lubricant from CleanStream is a water-based anal lubricant with 2 percent lidocaine as its active ingredient. The liquid is smooth and slippery to keep friction down, and the lidocaine adds a light numbing effect. The bottle holds 4 fl oz and is made in the USA. It is sold as a specialty lube for anal play.
The bottle ends in a tapered nozzle. It lets you place the lubricant exactly where you want it, including areas that are awkward to reach with fingers, and keeps the mess down. Being water based, the formula is suitable for silicone toys and rinses away with water.
Best for: For people who find anal play uncomfortable at first and want a lubricant with a light numbing effect. The nozzle suits anyone who prefers to apply lube directly and cleanly. Use it only as the label directs, and take your time.

How to use
Read the directions and warnings on the bottle before first use and follow them. Open the cap and use the tapered nozzle to apply a small amount of lubricant to the area and to your toy. Give the numbing effect a little time to develop before you start. Go slowly and add more lubricant whenever things begin to drag. Numbing reduces what you feel, so stop if anything is uncomfortable instead of pushing through. When you finish, wipe the nozzle clean and close the cap.
