Before we begin--- there is something you should know about me. I have no shame. Seriously. None. I was a nurse for nearly a decade so I will talk about ANYTHING! The words "vomit", "explosive diarrhea", and "puss oozing sores" fall out of my mouth frequently.... over dinner. And I LIKE it. So you can see, butt talk is nothing to me. You may want to sit down.
Homemade Butt Stuff Balm
- 4 drops Myrrh or Helichrysum
- 3 drops Melrose
- 2 drop Frankincense
- 2 drop of Lavender or Roman Chamomile
- 1-4 TBSP Rose Ointment or KidScents Tender Tush (as needed) but in a pinch you can use coconut oil, too, but you may have to store it in the fridge to keep it solid.
If you don't have butt friendly essential oils (some lower quality ones may, um, irritate your sensitive places), then check out how to find Quality Essential Oils.
If you have good quality essential oils that you trust, then just mix the ingredients into a small glass salve container. Once it's all mixed, then just spread those cheeks, and apply a small amount of the balm mixture on the "external area" after your "business" or as desired. It may sting slightly when first applied and this should quickly resolve, but honestly, mostly it just feels awesome.
RECIPE RANGES?!!? OMGeeeee!!
You may have noticed that I have a decent range for the essential oil to ointment ratio. You may be wondering where to start?! Why is there even a range?! Well, there is a good reason: your butt is special.
Let's look at the facts. Your butt is different from my butt. In fact, no one in the entire world will ever have your backside. The truth is that it wants different things, new experiences and more or less essential oil than other behinds. That's just how bottoms work.
There is wide variation that can work to help that heinie reach it's full potential so glob just mix it together, see what happens and adjust accordingly. Trust me, your buttocks won't fall off or blow or up anything if it's not exactly right.
Alternative "Butt Stuff" Ideas
DIY Butt Stuff Wipes
If you want to make butt wipes, then check out this recipe
- 4 TBSP Alcohol-Free Witch Hazel (remember-- non-alcoholic is important unless you like fire butt. I use this brand)
- 1 tsp Carrier Oil (like aloe vera oil)
- 2 drops of liquid Vitamin E
- 1/4 tsp Vegetable Glycerin
- Butt Stuff Essential Oils-- double strength (or more per your "special" butt)
- small wide lid glass jar (like these)
- Organic Cotton Rounds
DIY Butt Stuff Spray
One of my other favorite ways to use it is to make a spray. And, yes, I totally spray my bottom, but be warned-- it takes talent. There is finesse required to spread cheeks, balance, aim and spray. It's not for the light of heart.
- Travel Size Glass Spray Bottle (I use these)
- Add Butt Stuff Essential Oils
- Fill rest with Witch Hazel (non-alcoholic is important unless you want your butt to be on fire-- I like to use this brand)
Your butt will thank you!

Doesn't witch hazel burn? I have heard it does and wouldn't want it on that "area". Where do you find the Rose Ointment?
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy! I use non-alcoholic witch hazel so it doesn't burn very much. It can sting a little bit, but it goes away pretty quickly. The Rose Ointment is also from Young Living :)
DeleteThank you for addressing this embarrassing topic! I know some of us having just been suffering through...
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to help! :)
DeleteMy butt thanks you :)
ReplyDeleteI could never ask for more.
DeleteHi I'm new to your site , can you tell me what this is for? Is it for a happy scented butt, or for rashes ? Or what? Thanks
ReplyDeleteSince I am not a doctor, I can't tell you that it can heal or treat any existing disease or ailment. It is for more than a pretty scented butt though-- it is for wellness! However, what I will say is that when used regularly it can help keep your behind healthy and happy.
DeleteFor the ointment base, what do you think of Badger Balms? I like that they seem to have less ingredients than Burt's Bees (and easier to understand) and work great. I have quite a collection and the coconut vanilla scent is one I don't like, much as I love how it works for hands and skin. I could totally use that for this purpose. It's their usual base of coconut oil, EVOO and beeswax, with castor oil and 2 CO2 extracts. What do you think?
ReplyDeleteHi! You can use an balm/lotion base you like for this recipe, but I would just be sure to check with the EWG skin deep database to make sure they are a 0-1 rating. You want to be especially careful with such a sensitive (and absorbent) area!
DeleteLOL LMAO I love this post and I love, love, LOVE your style, way of writing, and honesty. :) Thank you for posting this!
ReplyDeleteHahaha!! You are awesome! A kindred spirit!
