Uberlube Review: The Silicone Lubricant That Lasts - and the Silicone Warning
Bottom Line
A long-lasting, skin-friendly silicone lubricant that excels for water play and sensitive skin - but it must never touch silicone toys.

The short version
Uberlube is a silicone-based lubricant known for lasting far longer than any water-based formula and for a minimal, skin-friendly ingredient list. It scores 4.4 for exactly those strengths. But there is one rule that overrides everything else: do not use Uberlube with silicone toys. Silicone lubricant degrades silicone elastomer on repeated contact, leaving toys tacky and pitted. Use it with glass, steel, or ABS, or for body-to-body contact, and keep it away from your silicone collection. If your toys are silicone, our Sliquid H2O review is the safe default.

How we compiled this data
Formulation details below come from manufacturer specification sheets and ingredient disclosures, cross-checked against aggregated owner reports and retail review corpora. Where a manufacturer claim is inconsistent with reported real-world behavior, we state both. We do not present a single unit’s measurement as a universal truth, and we have not independently lab-tested a bottle of Uberlube.
What Uberlube actually is
Uberlube is a silicone-based personal lubricant built on dimethicone, with a small amount of additional silicone fluid and a touch of vitamin E for feel. The ingredient list is short and free of glycerin, fragrance, and parabens, which is why it is frequently chosen by people with sensitive skin. The texture is thin and silky rather than thick, and it spreads easily. Because it is silicone rather than water, it does not evaporate or get absorbed the way a water base does.
The silicone incompatibility warning, stated plainly
This is the most important safety point in the review. Uberlube is a silicone lubricant, and silicone oil can dissolve or swell silicone elastomer used in many toys. Repeated contact can leave a silicone toy’s surface sticky, cloudy, or pitted, and that damaged surface is then harder to keep clean. The rule is simple: if the toy is silicone, do not use a silicone lubricant on it. This applies to a large share of premium toys, so check your material before reaching for the bottle. If you are unsure whether a product is genuine silicone, spotting counterfeit silicone explains the checks. Safe pairings are glass, stainless steel, and ABS plastic, or body-to-body use.
Formulation chemistry: what changes versus water-based
For water-based lubricants the relevant axes are osmolality and pH, which we cover in the lubricant osmolality guide. Those measures apply less directly to a silicone formula, because there is no water to draw from tissue and no pH buffer to balance. The axes that matter for silicone are longevity, compatibility, and cleanup. Uberlube’s silicone base means it stays slick until you wash it off with soap, which is its headline advantage. It is also waterproof, so it holds up in the shower or bath where a water-based lube would rinse away.
Ingredient list and skin sensitivity
The disclosed formula is minimal: dimethicone as the base, a secondary silicone fluid for spreadability, and vitamin E. There is no glycerin or propylene glycol, the two ingredients most often named in irritation reports for water-based lubes, and no added scent. Many users with reactive skin report it sits well, though individual sensitivity always varies and a patch test is reasonable with any new product. This is educational information, not medical advice.
Compatibility: condoms and barrier methods
Silicone-based lubricants are compatible with latex and polyisoprene condoms, so Uberlube is safe for barrier-protected use. The one combination to avoid remains oil-based lubricant with latex, but that is not this product. For choosing lubricants against specific toy materials, see toy material comparison.
Staining risk on fabric and laundry
The downside of silicone is cleanup. Unlike a water-based lubricant that rinses out easily, silicone can leave an oily mark on fabric and does not wash out with water alone. You need soap or a degreasing laundry treatment, and some stains persist on delicate materials. Keep the bottle away from good sheets, or lay a towel down. This is the main reason Uberlube is a specialist choice rather than an everyday sheet-friendly default. For menopause-related comfort planning, our lubricant selection guide weighs longevity against cleanup trade-offs.
Usability: feel, value, reapplication
The feel is silky and non-sticky, and a little goes a long way, which offsets the higher per-bottle price of around $22. You reapply far less often than with a water base, and it survives water exposure. New buyers deciding between lubricant types should read our first toy decision tree and confirm their toy materials first, because the silicone rule is the deciding factor.
Travel, storage and discretion
Uberlube travels well in one respect and poorly in another. As a silicone liquid it is not water-soluble, so a leak can leave an oily mark on fabric and is harder to clean than a water-based lube, which argues for a sealed, leak-proof bottle in your bag. Our travel storage kits guide covers bottle choices, and international customs basics is useful at borders, where personal lubricants are generally allowed but clear labeling avoids questions. There is no battery or app, so no lithium or data concerns. At a hotel the long-lasting, waterproof nature is a plus: a little goes a long way and it survives water play. The one hard rule travels with you too: keep Uberlube away from silicone toys even on the road, because the degradation risk is the same anywhere. If your travel kit includes silicone devices, pack a water-based alternative for those, and reserve the silicone lube for glass, steel, or body-to-body use.
Who this is for - and who should skip it
Buy Uberlube if you want long-lasting, water-resistant slickness with a minimal ingredient list, and you use glass, steel, or ABS toys or body-to-body contact. Skip it if you own silicone toys, if you want an easy-wash, low-stain everyday lubricant, or if you primarily need something that rinses clean from fabric. It is a specialist tool whose one hard limit is the silicone-to-silicone incompatibility.
The verdict
Uberlube earns a high score as a premium silicone lubricant: long-lasting, skin-friendly, and condom-safe. Its single non-negotiable caveat is that it must never touch silicone toys. Choose it when longevity and water resistance matter and your materials are compatible, and choose a water-based lubricant when easy cleanup or silicone toys are in the picture.
What We Like
- Exceptional longevity and a silky, non-sticky feel
- Safe with latex and polyisoprene condoms
- Gentle ingredient profile for sensitive skin
Limitations
- DO NOT use with silicone toys; it degrades the surface
- Can stain fabric and is harder to wash out than water-based lube
- Not ideal as a quick, easy-clean everyday lubricant
Uberlube — FAQ
Can I use Uberlube with silicone toys?
No. Silicone lubricant can degrade silicone elastomer surfaces on repeated contact, leaving them tacky and pitted. Use Uberlube only with glass, steel, or ABS plastic toys, or reserve it for body-to-body use.
Is Uberlube safe with condoms?
Yes. Silicone-based lubricants are compatible with latex and polyisoprene condoms. Avoid oil-based lubricants with latex, but silicone is fine.
