 I know this isn't the answer you want, but you should NOT use household items for lubricant... especially anal lubricant.
 
 Never use lotion; it can cause severe irritation and infection.
 
 If you're using condoms, you should never use an oil or petroleum based product (like Vaseline).  It damages the condom and makes it weaker and more prone to breakage. With anal, you probably should use a condom, since it does increase the potential for STD transmission (microscopic tears allow viruses easy passage)
 
 I would even say that you shouldn't use regular lube for anal sex.  It's fairly thin.  Special anal lubes are cheap (about $10 for a bottle that lasts FOREVER since you only need a few drops) and they're much thicker than regular lube, so they stay put better.
 
 If you're going to be going in the back door, you don't want to cheap out. If you don't lubricate properly, small tears can occur in the rectum (OUCH!) and they can get infected really easily.

 You can use canola oil I heard, saliva, baby cream, vaseline, just be careful what you use.

 Vasaline or hand lotion. But be careful, because the substances that actual lubricant is made out of is non-perfumed and is made of certain chemicals that will not cause infection.
