Uberlube All-Purpose Silicone Lubricant 50 ml / 1.69 oz

What it is

Uberlube All-Purpose Silicone Lubricant is a silicone-based personal lubricant supplied in a 50 ml / 1.69 oz clear glass bottle fitted with a white pump dispenser. The liquid inside is clear and colourless, and the bottle carries the etched white überlube wordmark as its only marking. It is listed here in our Silicone Lubricants range and is intended for adults 18 and over.

Silicone lubricants are one of the three broad families of personal lubricant, alongside water-based and oil-based formulas. What separates them is that silicone fluids do not absorb into skin the way a water-based gel does and do not evaporate, so a silicone lubricant stays where it is placed for far longer than a water-based one and does not need topping up as often. That longevity is the single practical reason most people choose silicone over water-based, and it is why a bottle this size goes a long way in normal use.

The bottle and the pump

This is a glass bottle with a pump-style dispenser rather than a squeeze cap or a flip top. The pump sits on a metal collar, and a clear dip tube runs down to the base of the bottle so the contents can be drawn out all the way to the bottom. Pressing the pump head delivers a small measured amount rather than an uncontrolled pour, which is the main reason this format is easier to use one-handed than a squeeze bottle.

Glass has two practical advantages worth knowing about. It does not pick up odours or discolour over time the way some plastics do, and because it is transparent you can see at a glance how much is left. It is also, unavoidably, glass — so the bottle wants a stable surface rather than the edge of a bath or a tiled floor.

How to use it

Start with one pump and add more only if you want it. Silicone lubricant goes a great deal further than water-based gel, and the most common mistake people make when switching over is using the same quantity they are used to and ending up with far more than they need. One or two pumps is a realistic starting point for most uses.

Apply to whichever surface you want to be slippery and spread it thinly. Because the fluid does not soak in, it will stay slippery without being reapplied for most of a session. Store the bottle upright at room temperature, out of direct sunlight, and keep the pump head clean and free of dust.

What silicone lubricant suits — and what it does not

Silicone lubricants are generally regarded as compatible with latex and polyisoprene condoms, which is the reason they are widely stocked alongside them; always confirm against the condom manufacturer’s own packaging, since that is the only authority on a specific product.

The important exception is silicone toys. A silicone fluid and a silicone surface share a chemistry, and prolonged contact can leave a silicone toy tacky, dulled or visibly marked. If you use silicone toys, use a water-based lubricant with them and keep a silicone lubricant for skin, or spot-test on an inconspicuous part of the toy first. Glass, stainless steel and ABS plastic toys are not affected in the same way.

Silicone fluid also has a habit of finding its way onto surfaces around it. Wipe up anything that lands on a hard floor or a bath before you step on it, because it stays slippery until it is cleaned off.

Cleaning up

Silicone lubricant does not rinse away with water alone — water simply beads off it. Warm water with ordinary soap or body wash removes it from skin without difficulty. For fabric, a normal warm machine wash with regular detergent is the usual approach, and dealing with it sooner rather than later makes that easier.

Who it’s for

This size suits someone who already knows they get on with silicone lubricant and wants a bottle that will last, rather than a first-time trial. At 50 ml in a counter-top glass bottle with a pump, it is a keep-at-home format rather than something to carry in a bag — a glass bottle and a pump head are not what you want loose in luggage. Browse the rest of our Lubes range if a smaller travel format or a water-based formula is a better fit for how you plan to use it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much lubricant is in the bottle?

The bottle holds 50 ml, which is 1.69 fluid ounces. Because silicone lubricant is used a pump or two at a time rather than by the handful, this is a mid-size bottle intended for regular use at home rather than a single occasion.

Can I use this with silicone toys?

No — use a water-based lubricant with silicone toys instead. Silicone lubricant and silicone toy surfaces share the same base chemistry, and sustained contact can leave the toy tacky or dulled. This lubricant is fine alongside glass, stainless steel and ABS plastic toys.

Does it wash off with water?

Not with water on its own. Silicone repels water, so warm water plus ordinary soap or body wash is what removes it from skin. On fabric, a standard warm machine wash with your usual detergent is the normal approach.

What does the bottle actually look like?

It is a clear glass bottle with a white plastic pump head seated on a metal collar, and the only marking on it is the etched white "überlube" wordmark across the front. The liquid inside is clear and colourless, and a clear dip tube is visible running down to the base.

How is the order packaged when it ships?

Every order ships in plain, unbranded outer packaging with no product images or descriptive wording on the outside. The sender name and the billing line on your statement are non-descriptive, so nothing on the parcel or the statement identifies what is inside.
