How we vetted it
Vetted on ingredients, regulatory status, condom and toy compatibility, and cleanup, from Überlube's official product information and buyer and press coverage.
What works well
It's a short blend of silicones with vitamin E, and contains no water, alcohol, glycerin, parabens, scent, or flavor. It's cleared by the FDA as a medical device and doesn't affect vaginal pH. Owners describe it as silky rather than sticky, and it stays slippery for a long time, in or out of water. It's safe with latex and polyisoprene condoms, and with glass, steel, ceramic, and hard plastic toys. The refillable glass pump bottle looks like something from a bathroom shelf, not a sex drawer.
Who it's for
Anyone who wants a premium silicone lube for long sessions or water play, and who'd rather leave the bottle out than hide it.
