Let’s talk about butts! We all have them, and we all need to clean them. Enter: Future Method. Here is a review of the Future Method Product Line.
Future Method is a company founded by Dr. Evan Goldstein, a colorectal surgeon. It has the mission of providing fun, safe, holistic, and science-based information and products about how to care for the butt before and after anal play properly. I’m so excited to share this review of Future Method + their product line with you.
The company’s product line provides the first booty-centric, backed by science, step-by-step approach at taking care of the butt. This is all done in a way that maximizes your knowledge, comfort, and enjoyment.
I was fortunate enough to receive the complete set of products from Future Method, and all I can say is WOW!
The set includes a Bulb, Intimate Wash, Butt + Body Scrub, and Butt + Body Soothing Cream! Now, before we dive into the details, I have two important things to note:
Number 1:
These are not products to be used during play!
They’re specifically made to help you cleanse & maintain the area either BEFORE or AFTER play!
If you’re looking for lubricants that are great for anal play, check out this article.
Number 2:
Anyone can use these products! And I mean ANYONE! No matter your sexual orientation, age, body type, gender, or if you participate in anal sex or play, these products are luxurious. They are sensitive enough for you. (And vulva-owners can use them without fear of irritation!
How to Use
Future Method’s product line is a three-step process designed to walk you through maintaining a healthy rear end!
Step One: Cleanse!
The two products you’ll need for this step are the Bulb and Intimate Wash. The first thing I noticed about this step is how small the bulb is! Usually, when you buy a douche kit, you’ll end up with a rather large bulb and instructions saying to use tap water to fill and cleanse your body. However, sometimes this can lead to a couple of mistakes (which can then create anal-play-related hurdles) when trying out this vital step, like using too much water too fast!
Future Method negates this by providing a smaller bulb and detailed instructions. These help you properly cleanse the anal-rectal area safely and healthily! You can also learn more about doing this safely in one of the workshops I taught with the butt expert himself, Mr. Bobby Box—click here to check it out!
The best part about Future Method’s first step? The Intimate Wash! This solution is entirely fragrance-free, the appropriate amount of solution you need (no more than too-much tap water), and safe for all bodies!
Step Two: Exfoliate!
Now, usually, if you mention exfoliating to a vulva owner, we get kinda shifty. Many exfoliants are harsh, have harmful ingredients, or are just generally too irritating to be used near the genital area.
However, this Body + Butt Scrub is formulated to be safe for vulva owners. It can be used in all of those sensitive spots on the entire body!
Some stand-out ingredients include chia powder, jojoba beads, orange peel extract, and hemp seed oil! One thing to note is that this product contains natural glycerin! While products containing glycerin are typically a no-go for vulva owners, this product is safe for vulva owners. This is because it is specified as Natural Glycerin and isn’t used internally. Harmful glycerin is a chemical used internally.
To use, drop about a quarter-sized amount on your hand and massage it into the skin! Once you’ve scrubbed, rinse off and pat dry!
Step Three: Soothe!
The last step of the Future Method is to use the Butt + Body Cream to rehydrate the entire body after a good scrub!
This product is so, so soft and is just as safe for sensitive skin as the others. It features a shea complex with mango seed butter, jojoba oil, and avocado oil. It also includes refreshing properties like peptides and scotch marigold extract. Additionally, there are botanical extracts such as arnica, sea whip, and black willow. (You can find a comprehensive ingredients list here under the ingredients tab!)!
Feel free to use it in all of those hard-to-reach places and truly lean into some yummy self-care!
Who Might Enjoy Future Method
As I mentioned earlier, anyone with a booty can enjoy Future Method’s entire product line!
Each product was formulated explicitly through a holistic, scientific approach to take care of your butt. The intentionality behind these products is evident in their gentleness, effectiveness, and cleansing. This also includes Future Methods’ efforts in sex education. In fact, I’ll be filming some fun content with Dr. Evan Goldstein soon. Stay tuned!
Even if you aren’t or don’t ever plan to participate in anal-related play, these products make your body feel soft, cared for, and supremely healthy.
