Quick answer
If you need a lube that stays put during long sessions and washes off easily, Boy Butter (oil-based) lasts longer. If you prefer a thick water-based formula that is safe with all toys and condoms, ID Extra Thick Jelly is your best bet.
Why staying power matters for thick lubes
When you choose a thick personal lubricant, longevity is often the top priority. Both Boy Butter and ID Extra Thick Jelly are designed to stay where you put them, but they achieve that through different base ingredients. Understanding the trade-offs between oil-based and water-based formulas helps you pick the right one for your activity.
The trade-off between lasting and washing off
Boy Butter uses coconut oil and silicone, so it resists drying out and lasts as long as synthetic lubes. Yet it still washes off with water from skin and fabric. ID Extra Thick Jelly is water-based, so it may need reapplication during extended play but is easier to clean up and compatible with all materials.
Trade-offs at a glance
- Longevity: Boy Butter lasts longer without reapplication because its oil-and-silicone blend does not evaporate. ID Extra Thick Jelly may need reapplication during extended play.
- Cleanup: Boy Butter washes off with water from skin and fabric, despite being oil-based. ID Extra Thick Jelly is water-based and rinses away easily with soap and water.
- Compatibility: ID Extra Thick Jelly is safe with all condoms and toys. Boy Butter is not compatible with latex condoms and may degrade some silicone toys. Check your condom and toy materials before choosing Boy Butter.
