Maximus review
Absolutely love this product for anal play. Great consistency and a little goes a long way. I've yet to find a better one.Published: April 3, 2008
Pros:
A little goes a long way, nice and thick, doesn't get sticky, dispenser on bigger bottle's handy
Cons:
Smaller bottle leaves you wanting more! Tastes bitter, too thick for jerking off.
After trying several different lubes (specifically for anal play), from your run of the mill KY to other gels, I hadn’t really found one that really did a good job of staying in place while lasting as long as I needed it to see me through ‘til the big O. One day my wife and I walked into a local store looking for some toys and when I asked the staff for a good anal lube recommendation they pulled out the Maximus without batting an eye.
It’s a little thicker than I like for jerking off and I can’t speak to its accolades as far as a vaginal lube (wife hasn’t tried it), but when it comes to anal, OH MY GOD, this stuff is unbeatable. It’s amazing how far a little goes. I didn’t have any adverse reactions and I consider my skin to be pretty sensitive, though it does have a slight bitter taste so I wouldn’t recommend any oral after application. It has a nice, thick consistency and it doesn't leave my hands/skin/toys feeling sticky afterwards.
As my wife would attest to, when it comes to anal I like things extremely well lubed. Most of the time it takes me a while to get all the equipment nicely lubed and ready to go, but not with Maximus. The consistency allows it to stay put where it needs to be and I’m ready for fun without a lot of prep.
My only disappointment was when the small bottle finally ran out. I would definitely recommend giving the small bottle a try just to make sure you like it, but I promise you you’ll be buying the larger bottle (has a handy dispenser top) when you run out. I have NEVER been able to find a better lube for anal play. 5 Stars, easy.

I'm still in love with this lube. Works incredibly well for anything anal. A little goes a looong way. Wish they made it in a bigger bottle!

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).

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.

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 -

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