I’m new to bottoming. Why do I need to clean out, anyway?

Anyone interested in bottoming can benefit from a quick rinse of their bum. When it comes to preparing for play, there are many different types of people, mostly those who seek the extra peace of mind against surprises and those who, no matter how much fiber their diet includes, never feel fully “empty” before they bottom. Residual feces can sometimes stick around, so a quick rinse with Future Method is an easy way to ensure that you enjoy maximum pleasure with no surprises.

Can I cleanse after play?

Yes, of course. Some people utilize Future Method Disposable Cleansing Solution + Bulb as a means to cleanse any excess excrement and/or lubricant used during play. The purpose of the solution is not only for you to feel confident before, but also walk away feeling refreshed and soothed after.

Can I use your scrub all over my body?

Yes, it’s gentle enough to use anywhere you want to exfoliate and buff, with the exception of intimate areas other than the butt. Enjoy on face, toes, and everywhere in between—especially your cheeks (yes, those ones).

Can I use your booty scrub pre-play?

Sure can. Our butt scrub will help get rid of any excrement and/or dead skin, leaving you feeling soft, smooth, polished, and ready for whatever (and whoever) comes next.

Can I use your butt scrub post-play?

Absolutely. That’s one of the main reasons it was developed. Lingering bodily fluids and lube post-play can be a nuisance to get off your body (and booty)—but not anymore.

Can I use your scrub daily?

Yes, in fact it’s encouraged. Our skin naturally produces new skin cells daily, and older, duller cells can get stuck on the surface. By adding our scrub to your daily skincare routine, you are helping to remove dead cells, thus helping to reveal newer, smoother, younger skin.

Can anyone use your scrub?

Absolutely. Future Method was designed for all butt types. However, everyone should refrain from using scrubs on their other intimate areas.

Will your butt exfoliator irritate my skin?

While our scrub is dermatologist-tested for safety and gentleness, we understand everyone’s skin is unique. If you have sensitive skin, test a small amount to check its compatibility with your skin type.

Can anyone use your cream?

Absolutely. Future Method was designed for all butt types. However, everyone should refrain from using cream on their other intimate areas.

Will your cream irritate my skin?

While our cream is dermatologist-tested for safety and gentleness, we understand everyone’s skin is unique. If you have sensitive skin, test a small amount to check its compatibility with your skin type.

Can I use your cream pre-play?

Absolutely. Just remember to give the cream time to absorb before dressing in your favorite undergarments.

Can I use your cream post-play?

You bet. Butt + Body Soothing Cream was created to help reduce downtime so you can enjoy more playtime.

Can I use your cream all over my body?

Yes, it’s safe to use anywhere you want smooth, hydrated, comforted skin, excluding intimate areas other than your butt. Enjoy on legs, toes, and everywhere in between—especially your cheeks (yes, those ones).
