This lube is the brother lube of Liquid Silk. Maximus lube (by Bodywise) is not stringy which makes it a really good choice for rough sex or anal. To me, it lasts forever. I still have almost half of the bottle after a year. It feels like hair gel in your hands, but in use it never really got sticky when it dried out. Of course it dries up often so it needs to be reapplied every thirty minutes or so. It does not "disappear" then come back later as goo balls.

Do not use this lubricant when you are freshly shaven (or if you have a rash). It will burn like hell, as if you put fucking aftershave on your genitals. In this day and age, it is good to know what is in anything you put in or on your body.

Maximus contains: Highly Purified Water, Propylene Glycol Cellulose Polymer, Di Sodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol, Methyl Paraben, Butyl Paraben, Ethyl Paraben, Propyl Paraben.

There isn't much of a smell so it can be very discreet. However, the bottle isn't very discreet. It is a fairly large, clear bottle with a Roman design on it. It clearly states that it is a "sensual" lubricant, and there is no mistaking what this lube is for.

I would not say it is travel friendly but Maximus can be placed in a smaller bottle for travel with the help of the pump. The pump can be locked; however, if you have been using it you have to push the pump down and will waste a squirt of lube.


Maximus is a water based lube, and as such can be used with any toy. You should consider another lube if you are allergic to parabens, as Maximus is a rather paraben laden lube.


I love Maximus!
