I’m gonna be honest: I don’t get the Maximus love. I really, really dislike this lube. It has the viscosity of hair gel, which, when using it for anal play, is a good thing. You want a thick lube to make insertion easier and less painful. But I find it stringy. I find that it gets sticky. It has a bitter taste. Try as I might, I just cannot like this lube.
It’s water-based and glycerin-free, which are two more positives. However, it does contain parabens, so if you’re sensitive to them, I’d stay away from this one.
I still use Maximus when inserting plugs, or when I have any kind of anal play, but I hate the tackiness it leaves on my fingers. There are plenty of other lubes that I would pick up before this one. The pump bottle makes it easy to get the lube out, though locking the pump for travel always results in wasted lube.
And that’s really all I have to say about that.

EXACTLY. And it smells terrible!
I’m so with you. I don’t understand the hype at ALL.
whats a good lube for anal other than this 1
A couple people have recommended Sliquid Sassy.
If it makes you feel any better I’ve never heard of maximus and thus have no love for it. We are happy with Sliquid and generally use the “booty/sassy” formula for everything.
We have a war in my store about which lube is the best one out of two. My pick is maximus, but the one that half of my coworkers prefer is slippery stuff gel. Its cheaper than most of the good lubes out there, has a slight lubey taste but isn’t bitter, and is a bit thinner than maximus.
