Boy Butter Clear Formula Water-Based Lubricant – 8 oz

Boy Butter Clear Formula is a concentrated water-based personal lubricant that feels like silicone but washes off with water. It's long-lasting enough for anal sex, safe with condoms and all toys, and won't stain sheets. This 8 oz tub suits couples and solo players who want silicone-style glide without the soap-and-scrub cleanup.

A water-based lube that behaves like silicone

Silicone lube is popular for anal play because it stays slippery and doesn't soak into the skin. The downside is cleanup: it needs soap to wash off, it can stain fabric, and it isn't safe on silicone toys. Boy Butter Clear is built to sit between the two. It's a concentrated water-based gel, made with Boy Butter's Invisagel formula, that looks and feels very close to silicone lube but rinses off skin and sheets with water alone. Boy Butter says it slows evaporation during use, which is what usually makes water-based lubes go tacky part way through.

Using it as an anal lubricant

Anal tissue doesn't make its own lubrication, so the lube does all the work. Apply a generous amount around the opening and on whatever is going in, whether that's fingers, a toy or a condom-covered penis. Because the formula is concentrated, a little goes a long way, but don't be shy on the first application. If it starts to feel less slick, add a few drops of water or a little more lube rather than pushing on. It's thick enough to cushion insertion while still feeling silky rather than sticky.

How much to use and how long it lasts

Start with about a teaspoon for anal play and spread it on both partners or on the toy. Because it's concentrated and slow to dry, most people find they reapply less often than with a thin water-based gel. When it does start to feel tacky, a few drops of water usually revive it. The 8 oz tub is a generous size for regular use; keep the lid closed between sessions and store it away from heat so the gel keeps its texture.

Condoms, toys and vaginal use

The formula is latex-safe, so you can use it with latex condoms. Boy Butter also says it's vaginally safe and safe with all toy materials, including silicone, which silicone lubes can damage. That makes it an easy one-bottle choice for couples who mix anal, vaginal and toy play. It's glycerin-free and pigment-free, and Boy Butter describes it as hypoallergenic. If you have sensitive skin, patch-test a small amount on your inner arm first.

What's in it

The ingredient list is mostly water with propylene glycol and hydroxyethylcellulose, which give the gel its body, plus aloe vera leaf extract. It also contains small amounts of ginseng root, guarana seed and oat (Avena sativa) extracts, and parabens as preservatives. Check the full list below if you avoid any particular ingredient.
