Boy Butter H2O Formula is a water-based cream lube whipped with vitamin E and shea butter, with a thick, cushioned texture many people prefer as an anal lubricant. It goes on clear, lasts longer than a thin gel, and eventually soaks into the skin like a lotion rather than leaving a sticky film. This 2 oz tub suits anyone who loves the feel of a cream but wants something that rinses off with water and works with condoms and toys.

Why a cream works well as an anal lubricant

The anus does not make its own lubrication, so anal sex needs a lube that stays put and keeps its slip. Thin, runny lubes can disappear quickly. A cream like Boy Butter H2O sits on the skin with more body, so it cushions each stroke and takes longer to dry out. Because it is water-based, you still get easy clean-up and condom compatibility, which oil-based butters cannot give you. It is the classic choice of people who want the richness of an oil-style butter with the practicality of a water base.

Texture and feel

H2O Formula comes out of the tub as a soft, whipped cream and turns clear as you spread it. It has a smooth, slightly silky glide thanks to the shea butter and vitamin E, and feels more moisturising than a standard gel. Over time it absorbs into the skin, which is part of why it does not feel tacky afterwards, but it also means you may need to top up during a long session. Use a generous fingertip to start, and add more before you notice drag.

Masturbation, sex and toys

Boy Butter H2O works for masturbation, vaginal sex and anal sex. For hand play, the creamy texture gives a grip-and-glide feel that a thin gel cannot match, which is why it is popular with people who masturbate with a hand or stroker. Boy Butter says it is latex safe and safe on rubber, glass and silicone toys. The ingredient list includes cyclopentasiloxane, a silicone, so if you have a soft silicone toy you care about, test a small hidden spot first and rinse the toy well afterwards.

Clean-up and ingredients

It is non-staining and Boy Butter says it washes out of skin and fabric with water alone, a real advantage over oil-based creams. The maker also describes it as edible and gentle. Ingredients include water, carbomer, vitamin E (tocopheryl acetate), shea butter, aloe vera extract and vanilla extract, plus glycerin, propylene glycol, cyclopentasiloxane, parabens and a yellow colourant. If you are sensitive to glycerin or parabens, or prone to irritation, patch-test on the inner arm first, and choose a simpler formula if anything stings.

Tips for using it

Scoop with clean fingers to keep the tub hygienic, or decant a little into a small dish during play. Apply it to the entrance, inside with a finger, and to the toy, condom or partner. Keep the lid on tightly when you are done so the cream does not dry out.

Helpful Information

Frequently Asked Questions

Helpful answers about Boy Butter H2O Formula.

Is Boy Butter H2O good for anal sex?

Yes. Boy Butter H2O is a thick, creamy water-based lube that cushions and lasts longer than a thin gel, which suits anal sex. It absorbs into the skin over time, so reapply before things feel dry. Use plenty at the start and keep the tub within reach.

Can you use Boy Butter H2O with condoms?

Yes. Boy Butter H2O Formula is latex safe, so it works with latex condoms. That's the big difference from the original oil-based Boy Butter, which shouldn't be used with latex. Apply it to the outside of the condom after it's on.

Is Boy Butter H2O safe for silicone toys?

Boy Butter says H2O Formula is safe for silicone toys. It does list cyclopentasiloxane, a silicone ingredient, so for a soft silicone toy you value, test a small spot first and wash the toy after use. On glass or hard toys it's fine.

Is Boy Butter H2O edible?

Boy Butter describes H2O Formula as edible and non-toxic, so a little in your mouth during play isn't a problem. It contains vanilla extract but isn't a flavoured lube, so expect a mild taste rather than a sweet one. For oral, our flavoured lubes taste better.

How is Boy Butter H2O different from original Boy Butter?

Boy Butter H2O is water-based, so it's latex safe and washes off with water. The original is oil-based, which lasts even longer but isn't condom compatible and needs soap to clean up. Choose H2O if you use condoms or want easy clean-up.

Does Boy Butter H2O stain sheets?

No. Boy Butter H2O Formula is non-staining and the maker says it washes out of fabric with water alone. Wipe up any excess with a damp cloth and wash bedding as usual. That makes it far easier to live with than oil-based creams.
