I enjoyed using Maximus for both anal intercourse and masturbation. It worked well with dildos and beads as well as without toys. I would not particularly recommend it for use with oral sex because I like flavored lubes for that, but I don't see a compelling reason why you couldn't use it for oral if flavors aren't your cup of tea. The only limitation Maximus has in terms of uses is the fact that it is water-based. If you like to play in the shower, it will rinse right off. Otherwise, it is a great all around lube for almost anyone.

Maximus is a very thick lube that stays right where you put it. It does not feel at all greasy or slimy. It has a creamy, luxurious feel that I really like. I feel pampered when I use it. This lube feels very similar to my own natural lubrication when aroused.

This lube does not have any particular taste. If you want to experiment with a flavored lube, this is not the product for you. I don't consider the lack of scent or taste a knock on it, though. If anything, the lack of a strong chemical odor was a definite plus for me.

Maximus worked great for both my husband and I. It worked great for solo use as well. We were both strongly impressed with just how well it lasted and how thick it was. It felt very rich on my skin. I think this is a great lube for everyone, regardless of orientation. It is water-based, so it comes off easily in the shower and can be used with a variety of toys, especially silicone ones. Clean up could not be any easier.

I did experience some minor skin irritation after using Maximus for solo masturbation. However, this cleared up as soon as I rinsed off in the shower with water and a gentle soap. It only took a moment or two to get rid of the slight burning I felt. If you have very sensitive skin, I recommend applying Maximus to the inside of your arm or a similar neutral place before sex play. Overall, I think the benefits of the lube far outweighed my minor discomfort, but your mileage may vary.

My favorite thing about Maximus lube's packaging is its pump top. This makes the lube very easy to use in the heat of the moment. Maximus comes in a clear bottle with some vine patterns on it. Very classy, very discreet. You could leave this out on your dresser and people might think it was a hand lotion unless they got close enough to read the ingredients on the back of the bottle.

I have tried several other lubricants in the past, and I've always been disappointed. Most of them were much too thin and watery. I needed to reapply lube often, and I had to use a lot each time. Many of those I've tried had an unpleasant chemical smell, as well. I am very sensitive to smells; a bad one can be a real mood killer.

Maximus is different in every respect from those other lubes. It has no real smell and is nice and thick. It might be a bit pricey for some. There are definitely cheaper lubes out there. In my opinion, however, the quality and lasting power of this lube are worth the price you pay.

My husband and I used this lube for our first experience with pegging. Though he had no previous experience receiving anal, he said that he never experienced any discomfort throughout our encounter. In fact, he could still feel the smooth, silky lube even after our extended play! About 3 pumps of Maximus was more than enough for more than an hour of sex. The fact that we never had to stop to reapply lube really enhanced our experience, and the bottle will last a long time since a little goes such a long way.

I also experimented with using this lube for personal masturbation (without the use of any other toys). Again, just a small dab on my fingertips was enough. It felt very silky smooth and really ramped up the strength of the orgasms I was able to achieve, though it does not contain any ingredients designed to enhance stimulation.
