Guide Review - Maximus Water Based Lubricant
Maximus is from the makers of Liquid Silk and is a great long lasting water based lubricant that’s thicker in consistency making it ideal for using with sex toys and for anal sex. The manufacturer claims that Maximus’ high glycol content results in a longer lasting lubricant, and many users agree that this is one of the longer lasting water based lubes.
The only real drawbacks to Maximus are that some find the taste distinctly bitter and some don’t like the thicker consistency. It’s glyercin-free, so a good choice if you’re prone to yeast infections. But it does contain parabens, which have been identified as a potential concern for reaction.
