Quick answer

To layer Boy Butter Warming and Original Formula safely, apply a small amount of Original first as a base, then add Warming on top. Start with less than you think you need, test on a small area, and never mix them in the bottle. This gives you the long-lasting glide of Original with the gentle warming effect of Warming.

Why layer these two formulas?

Layering lets you combine the creamy endurance of Boy Butter Original with the subtle warmth of the Warming formula. Original is a coconut oil-based lubricant that goes clear on contact and lasts as long as silicone, while Warming adds a gentle heat sensation. Together, they can enhance comfort and sensation during longer sessions. However, because Warming contains ingredients that create heat, it's important to introduce it gradually to avoid irritation.

What you need before you start

Gather your Boy Butter Original Formula and Boy Butter Warming Formula. If you're trying Warming for the first time, consider a small trial size or the Boy Butter Stock Up & Save Travel Safe Triple Treat Bundle, which includes 2 oz pumps of Original, H20, and Clear—but note it does not include Warming. For Warming, you may need to purchase it separately. Also have a towel or wipes handy for cleanup. Always check the ingredient list if you have sensitive skin or allergies.

Step-by-step layering process

Follow these steps in order. Each step includes a common mistake to avoid.

Layering steps

  1. Step 1: Patch test on a small area: Apply a tiny amount of Boy Butter Warming to your inner wrist or thigh and wait 5–10 minutes. If you feel intense heat, burning, or itching, do not proceed. Common mistake: skipping this step and applying Warming to sensitive areas right away. Checkpoint: No irritation means you can continue.
  2. Step 2: Apply Original Formula as a base: Dispense a nickel-sized amount of Boy Butter Original Formula and spread it evenly over the area where you want glide. Original is oil-based and water-soluble, so it goes clear and stays slick. Common mistake: using too much—start with less; you can always add more. Checkpoint: The base should feel smooth, not greasy.
  3. Step 3: Add Warming Formula on top: Apply a small dot of Boy Butter Warming Formula over the Original layer. Use less than you think you need—warming agents can intensify with friction. Common mistake: applying Warming directly to skin without a base, which can cause uneven heat or irritation. Checkpoint: You should feel a gentle warmth, not a burning sensation.
  4. Step 4: Reapply as needed: If the glide fades, add more Original first, then a touch of Warming if you want more heat. Avoid mixing the two bottles together; layer them on the skin instead. Common mistake: pouring Warming into the Original bottle, which can ruin both products and make the warming effect unpredictable. Checkpoint: Keep layers separate for consistent results.
  5. Step 5: Clean up properly: Wipe away excess with a damp cloth or rinse with warm water. Boy Butter Original is water-soluble, so it rinses cleanly without leaving a heavy residue. Common mistake: using harsh soaps or scrubbing, which can irritate skin after warming. Checkpoint: Skin should feel clean and comfortable.
