Überlube Review: The Silicone Lube Worth the Fancy Bottle
A glass bottle, four ingredients, and a glide that outlasts everything else we have tested. Simple and excellent.
Tested for 6 weeks · Published August 15, 2026
Our verdict
The best silicone lubricant we stock in our own drawer. It never gets sticky, a little goes a long way, and the pump bottle is genuinely elegant.
$28–$46
Typical US price at The Pleasure Chest
What we liked
- +Never turns tacky — just fades gradually
- +Four-ingredient formula, glycerin and paraben free
- +Glass pump bottle dispenses precise amounts
- +Doubles as a massage glide and chafe guard
What we didn't
- −Not compatible with silicone toys
- −Expensive per ounce
- −Glass bottle needs care in the shower
First impressions
The bottle looks like perfume, not lube — a real plus for the nightstand. One pump delivers a small, controlled amount with no drips.
How it performs
Thinner than most silicone lubes but longer-lasting: in timed tests it outlasted two water-based rivals by a wide margin, with no reapplication and no sticky phase.
Compatibility
Keep it away from silicone toys — use it with glass, steel or skin. It washes off with soap and water and did not stain our test fabrics.
