Okay, Let’s Talk About Butt Cream
Listen, I wasn’t planning on writing a review for a butt cream. Honestly, I bought the West&Month stuff on a whim after scrolling Instagram at 2 AM, fueled by equal parts curiosity and a weird rash from my new workout leggings. Can you believe this? A targeted cream for your backside. It sounded either genius or completely ridiculous. But here we are, a month later, and I have thoughts.
The Texture & Smell Situation
First off, the texture is nice. It’s not greasy, which was my biggest fear. I hate the feeling of sitting down on a slippery surface. It absorbs pretty quickly, which is a win. The smell is… interesting. It’s got this faint, clean, almost medicinal scent from the tea tree oil. It’s not perfumey, which I appreciate, but it’s definitely there. My boyfriend asked if I’d been using “the minty muscle cream” on my face. So, there’s that.
What Actually Happened
Here’s the thing. I used it every night after my shower. The skin on my… ahem… derriere area does get rough sometimes, especially after shaving or from friction. I gotta say, after about two weeks, I noticed a real difference in smoothness. It wasn’t a miracle, but my skin felt way more hydrated and less like sandpaper. The aloe vera and the moisturizing base definitely do their job. I didn’t have major acne issues there, but I did have one pesky bump that seemed to calm down faster than usual, probably thanks to the tea tree oil.
Let’s Be Real: The Price & The “Why”
It’s $24. For a relatively small tube of cream that goes on a very specific area. Is it necessary? Absolutely not. A good, basic moisturizer with similar ingredients would probably get you 80% of the way there. But sometimes you just want the targeted thing, you know? Like, it feels like you’re treating yourself. I made a quick comparison chart for you lazy folks who, like me, can’t be bothered to mentally math this out.
| Feature | West&Month Cream | Generic Body Lotion |
|---|---|---|
| Price | ~$24 | ~$8 |
| Key Stuff | Vitamin C, Aloe, Tea Tree Oil | Shea Butter, Glycerin |
| Texture | Light, fast-absorbing | Can be heavier/greasier |
| Main Job | Smooth & soothe rough skin, target blemishes | General hydration |
So, it’s a premium for a specific feel and formulation. Whether that’s worth it is totally up to you and your wallet.
The One Thing That Bugged Me
Alright, time for the not-so-glowing part. The tube. It’s fine, but getting the last third of the product out is a workout for your hands. I wish it came in a pump or a squeezy bottle. It’s a small gripe, but when you’re paying over twenty bucks, you wanna use every last bit without a struggle.
Final Verdict
Honestly? I like it. I finished the tube and I’m considering buying another one. It did what it promised for me: it made rough skin smoother and more comfortable, especially after hair removal. It’s a luxury, niche item, not a necessity. If you have persistent issues or just really want to pamper that particular area with something designed for it, you’ll probably be happy. If you’re on a tight budget, a good drugstore lotion with salicylic acid or urea might be a better first try.
It’s not life-changing, but it’s a solid product that does its job well. And sometimes, that’s enough.
