Quick answer

Boy Butter Clear Formula mimics silicone's feel but washes off with water, while H2O Formula is a creamy, absorbent hybrid. Your choice depends on whether you prioritize easy cleanup or a moisturizing, skin-absorbing texture.

Texture and feel differences

Boy Butter Clear Formula uses Invisigel to replicate the slick, long-lasting glide of silicone lubricants without the staining or cleanup hassle. It stays slippery longer than typical water-based lubes and rinses off completely with water.

Boy Butter H2O Formula is a cream hybrid that goes on clear but has a thicker, more moisturizing consistency. It eventually absorbs into the skin, making it feel less wet over time—ideal if you dislike a lingering slick residue.

Ingredients and safety

Both formulas are water-based, hypoallergenic, and safe for latex toys and vaginal use. Clear Formula is also non-staining and vaginally safe, while H2O Formula is edible and gentle enough for all genders.

If you need a lubricant that won't stain fabrics or leave a residue, Clear Formula is the better bet. If you prefer something that doubles as a light moisturizer, H2O Formula's Vitamin E content adds a skin-friendly touch.

Trade-offs at a glance

  • Cleanup: Clear Formula washes off completely with water from skin and fabric. H2O Formula also washes off but leaves a moisturizing residue that absorbs. Choose Clear if you want zero residue; choose H2O if you like a light moisturizing afterfeel.
  • Texture and longevity: Clear Formula stays slick longer, mimicking silicone. H2O Formula is creamier and absorbs, so it may need reapplication during longer sessions. For extended play without reapplying, Clear Formula lasts longer. For a natural, less wet feel, H2O Formula wins.
  • Skin feel: Clear Formula feels like silicone—smooth and slippery. H2O Formula feels like a cream lotion that gradually disappears into the skin. If you dislike the sensation of silicone or want a lubricant that doubles as a skin conditioner, H2O is your pick.
