I still absolutely love Maximus; it is my personal favorite lubricant. Not only is this my go to lube for vaginal intercourse, it is the only lube that I feel comfortable using for anal play. It is somewhat thick and doesn't need to be reapplied, which is a major benefit. One of the things I hate most is when my partner and I have to take a break in order to reapply lube. Maximus will last through the longest session without leaving a sticky residue.

Since I didn't include the ingredients in my original review, here is the list:
Highly Purified Water, Propylene Glycol, Cellulose Polymer Di Sodium EDTA Phenoxyethanol, Methyl Paraben, Propyl Paraben.

As you can see, Maximus does contain parabens. Some studies have shown the parabens have been linked to cancer; however, the results are inconclusive as to whether the appearance of parabens in products actually leads to the disease. Since a cause and effect relationship can not be proven, the FDA has not chosen to ban the use of this chemical. Of course, you always have the choice to choose paraben-free products.
