On Shaving, Boundaries, and Treating the Body Gently

Boundary Butter was made for places that experience friction—physical, environmental, and personal.

For some people, that includes areas we’re rarely taught to care for with patience.

Shaving intimate areas is often treated like a chore to get through quickly. The result is predictable: irritation, inflammation, and skin that feels punished rather than cared for. Boundary Butter exists as a quiet alternative to that approach.

We don’t believe in forcing the body into compliance. We believe in working with it.

If you shave, begin with warmth. A shower softens hair and relaxes skin, reducing resistance before a blade ever touches you. Use a clean, sharp razor. Go slowly. Shave in the direction of growth, with light pressure. Fewer passes, less friction.

Afterward, rinse gently and pat dry. While the skin is still receptive, apply a small amount of Boundary Butter—warmed between your hands and pressed in, not rushed.

Boundary Butter is intentionally rich but breathable. It’s designed to absorb, protect, and help calm skin that’s been stressed by movement, clothing, or grooming. It’s not meant to overwhelm the skin—only to support it.

But this isn’t just about shaving.

There’s something quietly radical about treating your body—especially the parts we’re taught to rush, hide, or correct—with attention instead of aggression. Care doesn’t need to be performative to be meaningful. Sometimes it’s just a few unhurried minutes of respect.

Your body isn’t a problem to solve.

It’s a boundary worth tending.
