Überlube (Evanston, Ill.) is a silicone lubricant that is free of additives and harsh chemicals, and is a physician-recommended solution for easing the pain of problematic and dry intercourse. In addition, it can also benefit the treatment of scars and tattoos, and prevent skin irritations that are problematic for athletes and other active people. And while it may help people in their 70s have sex like in the 70s, the applications of this product go well beyond the bedroom.

Vaginal dryness can be a problem for anyone, including vaginal rejuvenation patients, post-menopausal women and those with certain medical conditions. Quite often, doctors are looked to as a source of information for these issues as well as a range of other problems that can inhibit a patient’s sex life. Aesthetic physicians can greatly help patients by offering their professional opinions not only on rejuvenation procedures, but also about lubricants that are beneficial and safe.
Michael Krychman, MD, is the founder of the Southern California Center for Sexual Health and Survivorship Medicine in Newport Beach, Calif. When it comes to sexual lubricants, he feels that Überlube can benefit patients of any age. “When andropause and menopause collide, silicone-based lubrication is important, and you need a long-lasting friction reducing product like Überlube to help. Not to mention many men are on a medication to help their erectile firmness, which will impact friction during sex.”
For some women, midlife vaginal dryness may be an issue for many reasons, Dr. Krychman explained. “Someone may have dryness from hormonal changes, underlying chronic medical conditions, or one of over 300 medications. Cancer survivors also need an inert product that will not affect the vaginal PH, and many of my breast cancer patients appreciate the non-hormonal and long-lasting effects of Überlube.”
Überlube is a versatile product that is also used to aid in treatment of tattoos and scars and can even keep lips healthy and supple. Dr. Krychman highlighted, “In the small pilot study, marked improvement in scar characteristics after four weeks of use was reported. Participants reported improvement in appearance (88%), color (84%), texture (72%) and sensation (64%).” He added that a lip study is currently underway, but participants are already engaged and talking about how they love the way their lips feel smooth and less chapped.
“Überlube is an excellent versatile option for so many useful tasks.”
It can also be used to soothe and protect skin. “Many athletes can benefit from using Überlube to prevent chafing, irrespective of their skin type,” Dr. Krychman advised. “For some women, the labia or vaginal lips can be irritated even when walking or during other sports, but Überlube can protect this sensitive area. Placing a little between the thighs can prevent chafing for athletes who ride bikes or protect the skin of anyone involved in aerobic activities that may cause skin chafing.”
Überlube is a clean and sophisticated solution that can be used for many applications. As Dr. Krychman pointed out, “It is long lasting, silicone based, and can help ease the pain of problematic and dry intercourse. Just like people are versatile in and out of the bedroom, Überlube is an excellent versatile option for so many useful tasks.” And since Überlube reduces friction and not sensation, this product can improve the lives of many patients.
