The search for the perfect lube continues and this time the lucky-lather is the infamous Boy Butter! I had heard a lot about the oil-based version of this one when it first came out and people raved about it being the best out there for jacking off. I didn’t like the messiness of the other creams from the past though, so I figured I would give the water base — and thus, easier to wash off — version of Boy Butter a try. It’s called You Won’t Believe It’s Not Boy Butter!, but whether it lives up to it’s name-sake’s reputation had yet to be seen. A little squeeze of the bottle and I started churning…
The packaging of Boy Butter is cute. The oil base comes in those annoying jars that I always bitch about, but the water base comes in a little squeeze bottle that is meant to resemble real margarine bottles. I love companies with a sense of humor.
Three ingredients that caught my eye with this one were the aloe vera, shea butter, and vanilla extract. We all know that aloe and shea butter are great for skin texture, but the shea butter itself was an interesting concept. We all know how shea butter works. It makes your skin soft as shit. The idea of putting it into a lubricant — especially a water base, which tend to dry up and get sticky as you use them, is a smart move!
It has that medium clay-scent to it that I always pick up on. Maybe I need to get my nose checked. As I mentioned in previous entries, it’s not a bad smell, it’s just there. I’m assuming the scent is stronger with this one because of the vanilla.
The lube itself comes out of the bottle in a thick, creamy white blob. The cream is already noticeably not as thick as the other oil-based creams that I have tried. I applied it and noted that it was slick but not as slick as other creams are. It also didn’t have that goopy texture that I like in other water based lubes.
After a minute or two of stroking, the lube was spread very very thin. I didn’t NEED to reapply it, but it was vaguely there and wasn’t doing much except moisturizing my dick at this point. I decided to reapply and finish off.
It didn’t leave nearly as much mess as the other creams had, and it washed off easily. I didn’t even need to use soap (I DID use soap, I am just saying…I didn’t need to).
My issue with this lube is that it’s a very strange hybrid. It didn’t have the super slick texture that oil base or silicones have, but then it also didn’t have the thick liquid texture that is nice about water bases. It was in between, creating a thin, water-down cream that acted more like a skin lotion than a lubricant.
I’ll touch on this point while we are here: I am often met with people who tell me “I don’t use lube I just use lotion.” Lotion feels fine, sure, but as far as a lubricant it works against what you’re hoping to achieve. Lotions are usually designed to absorb into your skin, not lubricate it. If you’re a lotion person you should really consider making the switch to lubes, and You Won’t Believe It’s Not Boy Butter might be the perfect baby-step in that direction.
I did like the fact that it didn’t make near as much mess as the other creams had, and that it was easy to clean up. For those of you who like to jack right as you are laying down to bed but are too lazy to get up and wash off when you’re done (you lazy bastards), this lube would be great for you because it would wash off with a cum rag or tissue in a heart beat. I definitely think there are better lubes out there, but for what it does and how easy it is to clean up, it’s not a bad option. As an added bonus, it leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth like, well…butter.
