Max is definitely not a good choice for a beginner or someone who likes small and discreet toys. If you are in search of that "full-up" or stretched feeling, then this is the toy for you. Once you get over the initial surprise of just how big this bad boy is, you'll find that his realistic smooth texture is pretty pliable, which makes for easier insertion into the vagina. While it is possible to use Max for anal stimulation, his girth (2") will prove intimidating for most.

You'll want to use plenty of lube with this guy, and take your time during your first romp. The suction cup sticks well to most flat, non-porous surfaces and holds a decent suction, however the weight does make it more apt to falling when attached to a wall, door, or any vertical surface.

Max packs a power punch of vibration in the attached balls, but loses a lot of his power the higher up the shaft you go with little to no vibrations felt in the head. However, the size of his balls and power of their vibration does add for some great clitoral stimulation once inserted.

Futurotic™ material makes this vibrator come to life. This is by far the closest thing I've found to a real persons skin. The PVC and silicone mixture is velvety soft to the touch, and holds firmly while maintaining a degree of flexibility and pliability. One thing to note, particularly if you have pets, is that this material is a hair, dirt, and dust magnet. Because of its porous nature be sure to clean Max well before and after each use to keep him clean and safe. A dusting of powder will keep Max from getting sticky feeling and losing the texture you'll come to love.

If you're looking for realism you've found it! Both the color and texture really bring the experience to life. Max is not a little guy by any means. He stands at an impressive 9 1/4 inches tall, 6 1/2 of which are insertable. With a girth of 2 inches, this toy makes for a full, stretched feeling. While he may not take you out to dinner, or pop open a bottle of wine, Max will not leave you asking for more in the bedroom, kitchen, living room, hallway, or anywhere else you decide to use him.

The best thing about Max, besides his size, is his functionality. The suction cup allows you to place him and enjoy some hands free fun, or at least frees up your hands so you can use them for something else. The suction cup sticks well to most non-porous surfaces as long as you make sure both the surface and the suction cup are clean. Because of its size and weight Max is more apt to falling down and losing suction when placed on a vertical surface, and does not stick well to some textures. Also, be careful when releasing suction by inserting your finger under its rim before pulling up so as not to tear the cup.

The vibration control is incredibly simple to understand and use. There is a dial that is accessible on both sides of the control unit to turn the speed up or down. This does lead to one flaw in the product as it is also easy to unintentionally change the vibration speed. Also, the control unit wire is a little on the short side and may not reach the floor if placed at standing height on a wall. Overtime I have noticed some slight deterioration on the material where the wires enter the base, but aside from needing to be careful while cleaning that area it has not affected my experience.

Max is not the easiest to clean and care for, and requires a bit of maintenance. As with any realistic vibrator the material that makes the texture velvety smooth also makes it a germ collector. Be sure to wash Max before and after each use with warm water and soap, but do not submerge him in water as he is not water proof. Stay away from harsh chemical infused cleaners, and always finish with the enclosed powder to maintain his velvety finish. If ever he begins to feel sticky, just wash well with warm water, pat dry, and cover with a generous amount of powder or cornstarch, storing him in a cool dry place. Always use a water-based lubricant as others will ruin and deteriorate the material.

Be sure to store Max by himself, preferably in a sealed plastic bag. He will attract every bit of dust, dirt, and hair you have in your home, and also absorbs germs from any materials he comes in contact with. Never let Max play in a box with other toys.

At first glance the box Max comes in is fairly standard, although not discreet in the slightest bit. It's a rectangular cardboard box featuring a picture of the product, and a half naked muscular man on all 4 sides. The simplicity however does make it easy to gift-wrap.

With a closer glance you'll find all the care instructions are printed directly on the packaging. The instructions are thorough enough and include a website location for registering your product. I don't recommend storing Max back in his original packaging without placing him inside a zip lock-style bag first to keep germs and dirt from collecting on him.

From personal experience don't try to jump right in with this toy. Take your time getting used to him. You may find it easier to start with a smaller toy before moving on to Max, and be sure to use plenty of lube. I recommend laying down on your back and relaxing for your first insertion before trying to use the suction cup. Once you've got Max in and have adjusted to the stretch crank up the vibrations and enjoy!
