Boy Butter H2O Water-Based Cream Lubricant – 6 oz

Boy Butter H2O is a water-based cream lube with shea butter and vitamin E, sold here in a 6 oz tube. It has the thick, buttery texture people love in Boy Butter's original formula, but it's water-based, so the maker lists it as latex-safe and toy-safe. That makes it a versatile anal lubricant that also works for masturbation and vaginal sex, and it washes out of skin and sheets with plain water.

Cream texture, water-based base

Most water-based lubes are clear gels or thin liquids. H2O is a whipped cream that goes on clear and has more cushion, closer to a lotion. That body is why it's popular for anal play and masturbation: it stays where you put it, gives a slow, rich glide, and doesn't drip off a hand or toy. Eventually it absorbs into the skin, and Boy Butter says you can use any excess as a moisturizer. When it starts to fade, a few drops of water can bring the glide back.

Using it for anal sex and with toys

Apply a generous amount to the outside of the anus and to the toy, finger or penis, and add more before it runs low; the anus doesn't produce its own lubrication. Boy Butter lists H2O as safe on rubber, glass and silicone toys. The ingredients do include cyclopentasiloxane, a light silicone, so if you have a soft or high-end silicone toy, try a small dab on the base first. It's also listed as safe with latex condoms.

Clean-up and ingredients

It rinses off skin and out of fabric with water alone and is non-staining. The formula contains glycerin, parabens, shea butter, aloe vera extract and vanilla extract, among others. If you're sensitive to any of these, check the full ingredient list below and patch-test first. Boy Butter calls it edible-safe, though it isn't flavoured.
