Maximus is the first lubricant I've ever owned, and it will likely be the only lubricant I'll ever own. It seems like there's nothing it's not stellar at, from anal play to lubing up my Tenga flip hole.

My first impressions of this lube before I bought it was its cost. $20 for 8 ounces of lube is quite expensive, but I needed something that could work both anally and with my penis.

The bottle itself is quite luxurious. The label looks like something out of Ancient Roman times. Admittedly, it took me a few seconds (minutes) to figure out that you had to pull the pump outwards so it can start dispensing lube, but once I discovered the way to do it I spared no expense in lubing up my flip hole and going to town.

The lube suited the toy perfectly and the slipperiness of it really felt quite good. I had to reapply it however once in twenty minutes, likely because of the thrusting I was doing. I also found that spit does a good job at revitalizing the lube.

I also used my Lux LX-2 a bit later with my new-found lube. One pump is all it took to be fully lubed up and ready to go. It also lasted me for my entire one hour session, and things still remained slick after that.

Since Maximus is water-based, it can be used with any toy. So far, I've used it with silicone, plastic, and stainless steel with no issues whatsoever. Stainless steel toys get coated very quickly with this lube, and my nJoy Pure Wand took less than a pump.

Maximus' formula consists of parabens which may irritate some users by giving them a burning sensation. If you are allergic to parabens, I recommend a non-paraben water-based lubricant like Aqua.

While this lube is great and all, it tastes terrible. If your partner has this lubricant on them, I recommend not putting your mouth anywhere near it.

Lastly, what I found most remarkable about Maximus is that it simply disappears into your body after a while. It still lasts a long time, but this added benefit means that you don't have to worry about any sort of mess.
