Meets all my lube needs without irritating or annoying me
Give it a try and see if it is for you. Find out if you can tolerate the taste. (I could) The feeling of the lube was natural and did not leave a feeling of sticky residue. It did not leave me running for the bathroom right after to wash it off.Published: February 25, 2011
Pros:
Pump bottle. All purpose. Tolerable for oral after the fact.
Cons:
No taste would be better, but that's asking a lot.
Let's face it, lube is part of our sex lives. If it's not, it should be. It makes toys more enjoyable, it makes masturbation in general more enjoyable, and it's a must for anal play. It's great for when you want a quickie and just don't have the patience to wait for natural lubrication. Sometimes, rarely, I'm just not in the mood for foreplay. Certain medications can cause a need for lube. I went through this when I was on birth control pills. That is when I gave in and bought lube. Prior to that I thought it was just for anal sex and hand jobs.
If you haven't found the "right" lube, then it's not going to add to your sex life. In fact, it can take away from it. Some lubes feel sticky, and stay sticky. Some make oral sex out of the question. My partner and I have used a lube that put an end to the sexual escapade because once the lube was in contact with anything internal, a severe burning ruined the mood. We are (or at least I am) fairly new to anal play. I now realize some lubes are more appropriate then others for this. The viscosity of Maximus makes it work for anal play. Being a water based lube, it is also universally compatible with toys and condoms, which is a bonus.
Maximus it is an all around lube. You can use it all around. Pussy, anal, cock, or even rub it on your body for that shiny slippery effect that some of us love. I was even able to perform oral sex on my male partner after having used it. The taste was very tolerable. If you'd like to extend how long the bottle lasts, keep in mind that a little water reactivates it. The bottle is a pump bottle, which I've never had before. I now have a huge appreciation for the convenience of the pump. I found it much less of an interruption.
When I applied it to my hand, I did not have that overwhelming urge to wipe it off. It does not dry sticky. When it dried, I actually forgot we had used it.

Follow-up commentary
21 days after original review
With having to rely on solo play lately, Maximus has really come in handy to use with my array of toys.
I still can't get over how it feels as if it has disappeared once the play session is over. I have no rushed, uncomfortable feeling to wash it off as soon as possible. I can lay in bed, relax for a bit, and decide if I want to go for another round.
I still love that it is in a pump bottle. That makes it so convenient. It really seems like the bottle will last me a long time even though I'm a big pervert.

Maximus

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

Thank you for viewing Maximus – lubricant review page!
Thanks for the review. I've yet to read a bad review of it.
Thanks for the review. I love this stuff
I originally bought Maximus for anal play and now use it for everything. I guess I don't even notice the taste. Anyway, it beats some of those "strange" flavors in others.
i like it too
Thanks for the review!
