I know most people absolutely love this lube, but when I try to use it, it feels like my genitals are on fire! Could it be due to the parabens? Any thoughts, or any recommendations for another thicker water-based lubricant?

Eep! That doesn't sound good. I adore Maximus and have never had problems, but if it's irritating you, then you should definitely stop using it. I really don't know of any other water-based lubes that are comparable to Maximus and which are glycerin-free though (I stay away from glycerin containing lubes like the plague).

Could be any number of things. I suggest switching lubes, and try browsing for ones without parabens or glycerin. My fave lube is Hathor, and it's all natural. I think another you could try is Sliquid? I haven't tried it myself, though.
Try looking for lubes that would be deemed 'hypoallergenic' too.

I read somewhere (on the forum) that some lube manufacturers will give out free samples. You could do a search for paraben/glycerin free lubes (here on Eden) and them send a email to those company's and see if you can get a free sample. That way you will not have to buy something and through your money away.
Just a thought.

how goes the lube search this last month? have you targeted what might have been bothering you in the Maximus ingredients or is there a different lube you have now found that is working out better?

I also recommend the Hathor! I haven't had an adverse reaction to a lube before, but I just happen to love that lube anyway! It's all organic and specially catered to people who need more natural ingredients. It's pretty long lasting and while it's not as thick as maximus, it is a pretty good anal lube in my experience.

I use Sliquid Sassy, it's thicker than their H2O and is water-based (I'm not sure how thick Maximus is, I'm not sure I would try it since it does contain parabens and I'm not sure what I'm sensitive to exactly). They also have sampler-packs on their website, which could be super useful in finding the right lube that does irritate you!

Although I haven't tried it yet, I've heard lots of great things about the similar BabeLube. What did you think of it?

I'm not sure if it's kosher to mention a competitor's product here, but BabeLube is a wonderful water-based lube that's comparable in thickness to Maximus.

Sounds like maybe you're allergic to it.

My bits hurt just reading the ingredients. I wonder why so many preservatives are necessary for this product.
I'm also very very very sensitive to most water-based lubricants - so much so that I have switched almost exclusively to silicone-based, at the expense of rarely using silicone toys any more Water-based are usually chock full of horrifyingly irritant ingredients, including glycerin, parabens and natural or artificial sweeteners (wtf). When I was using mostly water based lube (and, um, I go through a lot of lube from time to time), I regularly gave myself UTIs and yeast infections even though I kept my toys (and my partner, and myself) squeaky clean.
You might have to consider switching away from water-based lube if you're sensitive to the preservatives or to glycerin.
Sliquid makes a number of lubes that have neither parabens nor glycerin in them, if that helps at all.
