Boy Butter H2O Formula is a creamy water-based lube for anal, vaginal and solo play, in a big 16 oz tub. It has the thick, buttery texture Boy Butter is known for, but it's made with water rather than oil, so it's latex-safe and washes off with water. It suits people who like a cushioned cream for anal sex or masturbation and want something easy to clean up afterwards.
Most water-based lubes are liquids or gels. H2O Formula is a whipped cream that goes on white and turns clear as you spread it. It's thick enough to stay where you put it, which is what makes it popular as an anal lube cream: it cushions rather than running off. As you use it, it slowly absorbs into the skin, a little like a lotion, so you'll reapply over a long session. A splash of water or a fresh dab brings back the glide. Boy Butter adds vitamin E and shea butter, and a touch of vanilla extract gives it a light scent.
The anus doesn't make its own lubrication, so a thick lube makes a real difference. Scoop a generous amount, warm it between your fingers, and apply it both outside and just inside, as well as on the toy, fingers or partner. Add more before you feel any drag. For long sessions, keep the tub open and nearby; creams absorb faster than silicone lube, so plan to top up. This is also why many people keep a separate water-based lube for anal and use H2O Formula for slower play and masturbation.
Boy Butter lists the H2O Formula as latex safe and toy safe, including on rubber, glass and silicone toys. The ingredients include a small amount of cyclopentasiloxane, a silicone, so if you have a soft or expensive silicone toy, try a dab on the base first and check the surface after a few minutes. With condoms, apply the cream to the outside of the condom, not inside.
One of the big advantages over oil-based Boy Butter is clean-up. The H2O Formula washes off skin and fabric with plain water, and Boy Butter describes it as non-staining. The maker calls it edible-safe and hypo-allergenic, though it isn't flavoured. It contains glycerin, propylene glycol and parabens (methylparaben and propylparaben), which some people prefer to avoid; if you have sensitive skin, patch test on your inner arm first.
At 16 oz, this is the large size, practical if you use lube often or for masturbation, where you go through more. The wide tub makes it easy to scoop with one hand. Keep the lid closed between uses so the cream doesn't dry out, and store it away from heat. Scoop with clean, dry fingers so water and other fluids don't get into the tub, which keeps the rest of the cream fresh for longer.

Helpful answers about Boy Butter H2O Formula Water-Based Cream Lubricant – 16 oz.
Yes, especially a thick one. Boy Butter H2O Formula is a cream, so it cushions and stays in place better than a runny gel. It absorbs over time, though, so reapply before you feel friction. Silicone lube lasts longer, but water-based is easier to clean and safe with latex.
Yes. Boy Butter lists the H2O Formula as latex safe, unlike the original oil-based Boy Butter. Apply it to the outside of the condom once it's on, and add more as needed during sex.
Boy Butter says it's safe on all toys, including silicone. It does contain a small amount of cyclopentasiloxane, so with soft or high-end silicone toys, test a dab on the base first. If the surface turns tacky, switch to a silicone-free water-based lube.
Original Boy Butter is oil-based, which makes it very long-lasting but not safe with latex condoms. Boy Butter H2O Formula is water-based, so it's latex-safe and washes off with water, but it absorbs more quickly and needs topping up more often.
Boy Butter describes the H2O Formula as non-staining and says it washes out of fabric with water alone. It goes on white and turns clear. Wash bedding as usual afterwards and any residue rinses out.
Yes. The ingredients include glycerin, propylene glycol, methylparaben and propylparaben. Some people avoid these, particularly for vaginal use if they're prone to irritation. Patch test on your inner arm first if your skin is sensitive.
Boy Butter describes it as edible-safe and non-toxic, so a little during oral is fine, but it isn't flavoured and has only a light vanilla scent. For taste, a flavoured lube is a better pick.
