Putting Uberlube to the Test: Does It Really Deliver on All Its Bold Claims?

You’ve seen the Uberlube ads. The brand promises everything but a magic carpet ride - long-lasting, no sticky mess, frizz-taming, chafe-proof, tattoo-enhancing, and skin-moisturizing. Honestly, I was skeptical. Sounds like we’re about to enter "too good to be true" territory, right? So I decided to test out their claims to cut through the marketing fluff and get to the truth. Does Uberlube really do it all? Let’s explore the nitty-gritty of what it actually delivers.

In simple terms, it’s a luxury silicone-based lubricant with only four ingredients—keeping it as clean and skin-friendly as possible. Known for having an ultra-smooth, silky texture, it’s made to lubricate without adding tackiness. Silicone molecules are larger than water molecules, so they don't get absorbed into the skin as quickly. Because of this, it also works great for water play, so feel free to use during sexy time in the shower.

It's doctor-approved, cruelty-free, and free of alcohol, gluten, glycerin, parabens, and any scents or flavors - Mayo Clinic. Essentially, it’s a minimalist, high-quality lube that’s built for comfort and versatility.

Uberlube’s bread and butter. It claims to last long without turning sticky, which is a HUGE selling point. So, I put it to the test with an extended session (because science, of course). First things first, let’s talk about the application. The glass bottle comes with a metered pump that dispenses a little bit of product. I’m going to be honest here and say that I had to apply three pumps for a handy and three pumps for sex to get the right amount of moisture that my partner and I like. One pump would not have been even close to what we needed. The glide itself was smooth and consistent, and I was pleasantly surprised by how long it held up once it was on. It kept everything moving without any interruptions.

Now, let’s talk about the no sticky residue claim. Uberlube really does shine in this department. After the fun was over, I didn’t feel like I was coated in a weird, tacky mess that I’d need to peel off. There was no sticky aftermath, just a smooth, barely-there feeling that was actually kind of nice. It also didn’t taste like anything which is a plus. Some lubes I have tried leave a weird residue in your mouth, so no need to worry about that.

For a silicone-based lube, I was really surprised by how easy it was to clean. It didn’t get everywhere but where I wanted it (hallelujah for that), and even what was left on my hands felt moisturizing. So no need to scrub my skin raw with soap afterward. If you didn’t like the texture on your skin, it rinses off super easily with just water, which is almost unheard of for a silicone lube. So yeah, Uberlube definitely lives up to its reputation when it comes to long-lasting lubrication. Also major bonus points for not turning into a sticky mess.

Apparently, Uberlube is not just for the bedroom—it has some unexpected beauty benefits too! According to the brand, you can use it to tame hair frizz. Naturally, I was intrigued (and perhaps thought it was a little strange, to be honest), but I’m always down for a little multitasking beauty experiment. With a "here-goes-nothing" attitude, I rubbed a couple of drops between my hands and smoothed it over my flyaways. To my surprise, it actually worked! As you can see in the before and after pictures, the front of my hairline went from flyaway central to sleek, shiny, and frizz-free. My parrot even thought it was awesome! I will say if you use any more than one pump, your hair could look oily. Make sure to not overdo it, just as you wouldn’t with a hair serum.

After this, I wanted to research how a lubricant can work for your hair. Turns out, Uberlube contains some of the very same ingredients you’ll find in your favorite hair serums—Dimethicone, Dimethiconol, Cyclomethicone, and Tocopheryl Acetate (aka Vitamin E). Specifically, Dimethicone and Cyclomethicone, two of the main ingredients in Uberlube, are the same heavy-hitters in many salon-grade hair products. This is because it acts as a protective barrier around your strands that locks in moisture and keeps things looking polished. Cyclomethicone is particularly lightweight and evaporates quickly, making your hair feel silky but not greasy. According to HK Vitals, this ingredient is a staple in most hair serums for a reason—it smooths down the cuticle, adds shine, and makes hair more manageable.

Honestly, I might start keeping a travel-sized bottle in my purse for those emergency hair moments. And now that I'm used to it, I also kind of love that my lube doubles as a hair product. This one’s a win.

Let’s talk about chafing – the enemy of thighs everywhere. Uberlube claims it’s perfect for preventing that annoying friction. Personally, I don’t have chafing issues, so I needed to give a sample to a friend that does. She was gracious enough to test it out for me, and this is what she told me. She tested the product by lathering three pumps on her inner thighs before a jog. She reported that there was zero chafing, no irritation, and it stayed smooth the entire run. This is because silicone doesn’t break down or absorb into the skin. The barrier it forms helps minimize friction, which is the root cause of chafing. This is why you'll find silicone in many anti-chafe balms marketed to runners and athletes.

Silicone also has a unique thermal stability, meaning it doesn’t degrade with body heat. So, whether you’re going for a long run or an intense workout, it keeps that smooth glide even as you sweat. And because it’s hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores), it’s a great choice for sensitive skin, especially in high-friction areas.

Sports claim seems to be 100% valid.

They say Uberlube can keep your tattoos looking vibrant and fresh. In fact, they did a study with 25 participants over the period of 4 weeks. They had participants dab the product on an average of twice a day, and the results were that the “Patients reported improvements in appearance (100%), color (100%), texture (88%), and sensation (60%).” - Uberlube.One of the most common causes of tattoo fading is dehydration and environmental damage. Silicone-based products help lock in moisture and protect the skin from drying out, which can make your tattoos appear dull over time.

This sounded promising to me, so I tested it on one of my partner’s faded tattoos. The before and after picture shows after just one application that it did bring a bit more color back to it. Did it magically make it look like he just stepped out of the tattoo shop? Not quite. But it did add a nice shine that made the colors pop a little more. I think that if we had a colorful tattoo to test that it may have popped the ink even more.

It is also important to note that while Uberlube. But for a quick "revival" of your ink, the shine it offers can definitely add to the vibrancy and depth of your tattoo colors. I’m going to count this one as a partial win.

Skincare is yet another surprising thing Uberlube claims it can do. Now, after the whole hair care success, I was cautiously optimistic. I mean, if this lube could tame my frizz, could it really hydrate my skin too? So, I did a little research and found out that silicone *does* have some lock-in moisturizing properties. According to Medical News Today, it can help form a barrier that prevents moisture loss—kinda like wrapping your skin in a protective bubble.

Obviously, I had to give it a try. After a couple of glasses of wine (which always leaves my hands feeling a little Sahara Desert-dry), I rubbed a few drops on my hands to see if this lube could really double as a moisturizer. And you know what? It worked! My hands felt soft, smooth, and moisturized. It's worth noting that for real hydration, you’ll want to use a product with actual moisturizing ingredients like humectants (e.g., glycerin) or emollients (e.g., shea butter) that actively draw moisture into the skin.

So, is Uberlube going to replace your rich, indulgent skincare routine? Probably not. But for a quick moisture boost when you’re in a pinch, it totally works. If you want soft, hydrated skin but only have a bottle of lube nearby, it’s a decent backup plan. I’m calling this one a win!

Here’s another wild claim from Uberlube—apparently, it can fix everything from chapped lips to adding a little plumpness and color. According to their own study (yep, they did a whole study on this), 25 participants used the product on their lips twice a day for four weeks. The results claimed that 100% saw improvements in appearance, 96% noticed less chapping, 96% saw smoother texture, 52% reported better color, and 36% thought their lips looked plumper - Uberlube.Impressive, right? But numbers are numbers—I wanted to see if this would work on my lips right now.

So, I went for it. I rubbed one pump of Uberlube directly onto my lips and wore it for a day. Now, as you can see in the before and after pictures (imagine a slight Instagram filter effect here), there was a difference in texture—my lips felt smoother, and some of that dryness definitely went away. But plumpness? Not so much. I feel like it’s more the shiny effect that makes your lips look plumper, rather than actually being more full. Color-wise, I saw a slight difference, but nothing groundbreaking.

While it did help with my chapped lips (at first), I found that the moisturizing effects wore off way faster than my go-to lip balm. From my research, the barrier-forming effect of silicone can prevent moisture loss, but it doesn’t add moisture. So, it’s not a substitute for lip balms that contain nourishing ingredients like beeswax, lanolin, or hyaluronic acid, which actively draw moisture into the skin.

So, did it work? Kind of. I’ll give it a partial win on texture and initial moisture, but for long-term results, I’d probably stick to my trusty lip balm. Not a total fail, but definitely not a slam dunk either.

So, is Uberlube just another product with slick marketing, or does it actually deliver? Honestly, it’s a little bit of both. For its intended purpose—sexy time—it performs like a champ with long-lasting lubrication and zero sticky mess. In fact, I’m pretty impressed with how easily it cleaned up, too. But when it comes to the rest of the claims—I would say although everything did have results, it was a bit of a mixed bag. If you’re looking for a multi-purpose product that’ll keep your hair frizz-free, your hands smooth in a pinch, and maybe give your lips a little temporary boost, it can step in and do the job. But let’s be real—it's probably not going to replace your everyday skincare routine, hair serum, or go-to lip balm anytime soon.

If you are interested in purchasing, you can find Uberlube on Amazon, or at a ton of sex store shops. They are easy to spot thanks to their sleek, minimalist packaging and that signature glass bottle. You may also be able to score some Uberlube samples. Just make sure you’re getting it from a trusted source to avoid any knock-offs.

At the end of the day, this brand isn’t just talk. It lives up to its hype where it matters most, and everything else is just a nice bonus. I was pleasantly surprised by this product and will continue to use it!
