Maximus - lubricant discontinued by Bodywise Limited - review by SecretToyLover2

If you participate in anal sex constantly and you need a nice, thick lubricant that is water-based and hardly needs to be reapplied, this is the lube for you. If you have extreme vaginal dryness, you might find this lube to be pleasing as well. It does have a lot of parabens, which is an issue for many, but I didn't find this lubricant to irritate me in any way at all. It is one that I have used for a very long time and loved for a very long time as well.

Ingredients: Highly Purified Water, Propylene Glycol Cellulose Polymer, Di Sodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol, Methyl Paraben, Butyl Paraben, Ethyl Paraben, Propyl Paraben.

This lube isn't what I would call textured, but it's very thick. Almost like an underdeveloped Jell-O. That is what makes it perfect for anal, or perfect for sex that needs a lot of moisture. You only need to apply it once and after that you'll have no problem sliding and gliding, whatsoever. It absorbs nicely, but due to the paraben content I recommend washing yourself off afterwards.

If you do let it absorb, it leaves no sticky residue on the skin and rubs in quite nicely.

There is no aroma, and hardly a taste to this lubricant. I wouldn't give my husband oral after applying this, or let him give me oral after applying this, only because of the parabens. But if I "had to" I would hardly taste a thing. So for those of you who don't care about parabens, you'll be fine with the taste.

This product can easily last you for an entire hour with one squirt (which is a quarter sized amount). It's funny because the stuff is so thick that a little goes such a long way. You don't need to stop to reapply or anything of that sort. You just keep on going strong until you finish. Since most couples have sex for only a few minutes, I'd assume this is perfect. But if you're an hour longer sex-haver like us, you'll still be fine! Maximus has got you covered!

Cleaning up is a breeze. An Eden Toy and Body wipe or a quick dip in the shower will rinse you clean as a brand new car. No scrubbing and scrubbing.

On the contrary, if you let this dry on a toy, you will have a hell of a time getting the stuff off once it has dried. So take care with toys and wash them right after use.

This bottle comes just as shown online - in the bottle. There is a clear plastic bag covering the bottle for no-leak security. Other than that, it's just a bottle. The bottle is very sturdy, and you can turn the spout to lock the push pump if absolutely needed. This may come in handy for traveling or storage.

The bottle is pretty discreet. Looks like hand sanitizer - almost exactly like it. The words "A Water Based Sensual Lubricant" are on the front of the bottle, but you notice the design more than the words. Therefore, this could be hand soap for all anyone knows. If you really need to, you can peel off the label under warm water so that the bottle is blank. It's up to you.

- Long lasting

- Water-based (Safe for condoms)

My overall experience has been great with this product. It makes a wonderful anal lubricant, and I think that's what we use it for most often. Rarely do I use it vaginally, only because I prefer Pink Water for vaginal sex. However, on those very dry days, this lubricant does the job well.

If my husband and I had to say what we loved most about the product, here would be our responses:

Husband - "I like that I can thrust during anal without that feeling of the dry anus walls due to lack of lubricant. With this, I just put a tiny bit around the entry of her anus, and I slather some on my cock and we're good to go all night. No stops to reapply, no drying out, just fun!"

Me - I love the fact that it gives such a good glide. There's no drag because the lube doesn't dry out. It makes anal more comfortable for me. I also like that it is water-based. Yes, there are parabens, but I have yet to have any infection, sores, etc. and I don't see a reason not to love this lubricant. It works excellently with glass toys as well.
