Chapter VI · Silicone-based lubricants
Uberlube Silicone Lubricant
An unscented, long-lasting silicone formula in a small glass bottle. A little goes a long way.
- Travel Friendly
Silicone-based lubricants last longer than water-based ones and are not washed away by water. The trade-off is compatibility: they are widely reported to affect some silicone products, and they need soap to remove.
Who may find it useful
- · People who want a long-lasting formula
- · Anyone using products in the bath or shower
Who may prefer another category
- · Owners of silicone products, who should confirm compatibility or default to water-based
- · People who prefer easy cleanup
Uberlube is the widely known premium version of this category: unscented, silicone-based, sold in a small glass bottle. Confirm compatibility with any silicone product on both packages before combining.
