Quick answer
Choose Boy Butter Gold 10th Anniversary Edition if you want a long-lasting, washable oil-based lube in a large 16 oz tub for massage or extended play. Choose Juicy AF Opaque Water-Based Lubricant if you need a thin, realistic-feeling lube that is safe with condoms and toys and easy to clean up.
Texture and feel: thick cream vs thin fluid
Boy Butter Gold is an oil-based formula made from coconut oils and an organic silicone blend, homogenized into a water-soluble cream. That gives it a thick, lotion-like consistency that stays put and works well for massage or play where you want a cushiony layer. Juicy AF is a water-based lube with a thin, realistic texture and color designed to absorb into the skin during use. It feels wetter and more slippery at first but disappears faster, so you may need to reapply.
The trade-off is duration versus sensation. Boy Butter Gold's oil base tends to last longer without reapplication, but it can feel heavier and may leave a film. Juicy AF's thin texture feels more natural and is less likely to stain, but it requires more frequent topping up.
Compatibility: condoms, toys, and cleanup
Juicy AF is explicitly safe to use with condoms and sex toys, and it is safe to ingest. That makes it a versatile choice for partnered sex, oral play, and toy use. Boy Butter Gold is oil-based, so it is not safe with latex condoms or silicone toys; the catalog does not list condom or toy compatibility for this product, so treat it as a dedicated massage or solo-use lube unless you check with the manufacturer.
Cleanup differs too. Boy Butter Gold is described as totally water-soluble and easily washable, which is unusual for an oil-based lube and means it rinses away without a heavy residue. Juicy AF is water-based and absorbs into the skin, so cleanup is minimal but you may need to wash toys thoroughly after use.
Cost and format: bulk tub vs small bottle
Boy Butter Gold comes in a 16 oz (473 ml) tub at $24.98, which works out to roughly $1.56 per ounce. Juicy AF comes in 2 oz and 4 oz bottles starting at $8.01, or about $4.00 per ounce for the 2 oz size. If you use lube frequently, the Boy Butter Gold tub is significantly cheaper per ounce, but you are committing to a large container of an oil-based formula.
Juicy AF's smaller bottles are easier to store, travel with, and try without waste. The disk cap closure is simple to use, and the opaque formula hides the lube inside. The trade-off is higher cost per ounce and more frequent repurchasing.
Key trade-offs to weigh
- Longevity vs reapplication: Boy Butter Gold's oil base tends to last longer without reapplication, while Juicy AF's water-based formula absorbs and may need topping up during longer sessions. If you dislike stopping to reapply, lean toward Boy Butter Gold.
- Condom and toy safety: Juicy AF is explicitly safe with condoms and toys; Boy Butter Gold is oil-based, and the catalog does not list condom or toy compatibility, so do not assume it is safe with latex or silicone. For partnered sex with condoms or silicone toys, choose Juicy AF.
- Cost per ounce: Boy Butter Gold costs about $1.56 per ounce in the 16 oz tub; Juicy AF costs about $4.00 per ounce in the 2 oz bottle. The larger tub is cheaper per ounce but a bigger upfront commitment. Buy the small Juicy AF bottle first if you are unsure about the texture.
- Cleanup and residue: Boy Butter Gold is water-soluble and easily washable despite being oil-based; Juicy AF absorbs into skin and leaves little residue but may require washing toys thoroughly.
