Burn Baby Burn

I think the product functions well, however I would not purchase this item again. The burning sensation really takes away from the whole experience. It should be pleasurable, not painful.

Use

I originally bought this to be used for anal sex. I tried to use it both on my girlfriend and myself. However, this product could also be used for masturbation and regular intercourse. We both experienced some irritation and it felt like a burning sensation, I am not sure if that is part of the products regular functions.

Texture / Consistency / Thickness / Viscosity

Even though it is a water based lube, it is very smooth and thick, and it definitely lasts for a long amount of time.
    • Smooth
    • Thick

Taste / Aroma

I did not taste the product, however it had little to no smell to it. This is good for being discrete, because you can skip showering after sex and it should not be a problem.
    • No smell

Performance

Performance for this lubrication was great, and the product washes off well. It can get a little messy, but that's common with most lubes. The product didn't dry up fast, however there was concerns about possible reactions with the product, because my partner and I both experienced a burning sensation.
Follow-up commentary
Terrible product, I feel bad for spending my money on this. Also pretty much ruined the mood during sex, and that is unforgivable! I hope they really change the formula, because I like the name and the design, if someone found it they might think its massage oil or something.

Yikes. It's been recommended to me for anal, but I am sensitive to lots of things. This makes me wary!

I think I know how you feel! This product contains glycerin and parabens! You might be sensitive to one of those two ingredients. From personal experience, I can explain what a glycerin sensitivity is like, at least. The glycerin sugars feed the bacteria in your vagina and promote yeast infections. You can usually tell by the immediate burning sensation.

    • 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?
    • 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.
    • Maximus is my go-to lube. I have very sensitive skin and have never had a problem with it.

  • Is Maximus as Great as The Reviews Say?
    • Two negative things I've seen written are that it has a bitter aftertaste and it does peel off, dry, and need to be washed off.

      Positives and opposites I've heard are that it has a natural tasteless feel similar to saliva, and it is a thicker lubricant. Also the pump looks like a great feature that makes this product less messy.

      I would like to try it for myself, and wonder if it is really the go-to lube for me, and for others like me.
    • This is my favorite water-based lube, hands down and without a doubt. It's pretty thick (ideal for backdoor fun). I've fallen asleep with it on my hands and don't wake up with fuzzy or sticky palms (until they get wet, then it reactivates).

      Maximus is my go to lube, rarely use anything else. It is slightly bitter but not bothersome. It is thicker and also works very well for anal. I never feel the need to wash it off unless I overdue in the heat of passion.
      Try it! Don't think U will be disappointed....:)

    • Does Maximus come in any other size bottles? I feel like 8 oz. would be a lot for me to use before it goes bad. Also, it seems like a big bottle to store somewhere discrete.
    • It really isn't very big - I have mine it a bedside drawer. Maximus is so thick that you don't have to worry about it leaking unless you really press on the bottle. If my mind isn't playing tricks on me, the bottle is about 2-3/4" in diameter and 4-1/2 to 5 inches tall (including pump), and I think it's closer to 4.5

      I think mine's good to 2013 or something (I'm not at home now, but I can check later), so I wouldn't worry about it going bad

      Oh, ok. For some reason 8 oz seems a lot bigger to me. lol
