When taking the Maximus Enhancement Ring (5 beads) out of the package, several things caught my attention: the color of the bullet was a nice silver color, the texture of the "love nodules" was intriguing and looked like they would help in pleasuring my woman, and the box said the product was water-proof and Phthalates-free. There was some minor assembly required: the bullet needed to have batteries inserted and the bullet needed to be pushed inside of the water-proof covering.

After inserting three of the included watch-size batteries and slipping the bullet into the covering, I carefully slipped it on. The material is flexible, so it was not difficult to place on. Once it was on, I could feel the constriction and felt my already-erect penis becoming engorged. It appeared that at the least, the Maximus Enhancement Ring lived up to its name; I was noticeably larger than usual when erect. I pushed the easy on/off button on the side of the bullet and the ring began vibrating at a nice pulse. The packaging claims it is water-proof, so I got in the shower for some alone time. The product operated fine, even under direct water. Once again, it lived up to its claims. I tested the product in other uses. Even when it is not strapped to the penis, it serves a good single-user function; it can be placed under the prostate and sat on for good vibrating sensation. Even with this limited function, it performs very well for stimulation and increased male orgasm.

When using it with my partner, she enjoyed the vibration. However, she stated that the clit love nodule wasn't all that powerful. Overall, this product did help us with our love-making: I was larger and could help satisfy her more, and the vibrations were a nice addition.

After getting much use out of Maximus, it finally bit the dust. I immediately ordered a new one from Eden Fantasys, as I greatly missed the old one. The manufacturer still makes a great bullet, but this new one did fail on me much earlier than expected. After only a handful of uses, the inner ring broke at one of the beads. So beware, the beads are a point of weakness for this product. Even after breaking, it still can serve a useful purpose. I still like it.
