Boy butter review

What is the first thing you think of when someone says personal lubricant? For most of us, we probably think of some form of water-based lube right away. This makes sense because this type of lube is by far the most popular. Silicone-based lubes have started receiving more attention lately because they tend to last longer - especially in water. One type of lube has essentially been marginalized, namely oil-based lube. One major reason for this is that oil-based lubes are not safe to use with latex based products (most condoms and many toys). On the other hand, oil-based lubes last a long time and are water resistant but they can stain fabrics and can be difficult to clean up. Oil-based lubes can really be split into two categories, petroleum-based and natural-based. Petroleum oil-based are generally avoided because they are not good for vaginal play. Natural oil-based lubes are okay for vaginal use, but are more likely to irritate sensitive vaginas than water-based lubes. So, why should you even consider oil-based lube? Because it lasts longer in water and can be used with silicone toys.

Boy Butter is an excellent example of a natural oil-based lubricant. Its base it both coconut oil and an organic silicone which are homogenized like butter which is how it earns its “Churn Style” name. There is a little bit of separation, so don’t expect it to look like margarine in the tub. Since it is in that little tub, it's easy to grab and apply, I just dip my fingertips in, pull out as much as I want, and spread it wherever I need it. Although it has silicone as a major ingredient, I have never had a problem with my 100% silicone toys. In fact, it is my lube of choice in the shower with my silicone toys, but I have used it outside the shower for anal and vaginal penetration as well without incident. It is supposed to clean-up pretty well with water alone, but I usually use soap during the cleanup regardless. It also is not supposed to stain fabric, but since we haven’t gotten it on any fabrics (that we know of), I don’t feel I should comment on that.

I will say that I think Boy Butter is a very good lube. Although its applicability might be less than water based lubricants, I still feel it can definitely fill a need especially amongst males whether homosexual or heterosexual. In fact, I can see how it might be a very useful product in male homosexual relationships. The one complaint I have with it is that it does tend to separate a little bit, so it is not quite as “homogenized” as I would like.
