Phallophile Reviews The Maia MAX Thrusting Vibrator

Review: Maia Max Thrusting Dildo & Vibrator w/ Suction Cup

The Maia Max is nothing short of a new era in thrusting toys: it’s body-safe, it’s extremely affordable for what it does, and its motor doesn’t suck. (Plus it’s not purple!)

Ever since I discovered the Velvet Thrusters (price tag $199), I’ve been on the lookout for self-thrusting toys that don’t cost so much. And that also—unlike the Stronic pulsating dildos—are anal-safe. I’ve waited for a budget-friendly anal thruster, and the Maia Max and its purple twin, Monroe, are the first and best option. (It’s also great for vaginal use, as I’ll talk about a lot in this review!)

The Maia Max looks simple, but it checks all those boxes. It also offers a lot of functions for its $100 price tag: three thrusting speeds, ten independently controllable vibration functions, a remote control, and a very functional suction cup. It’s a godsend to people who want to get screwed hands-free, IMO.

Here’s what I experienced with the Maia Max, plus a comparison of similar thrusters so you can make the best choice for your body!

Thrusting

Max includes three steady thrusting speeds. The first starts out kinda fast if I’m not warmed up, about a stroke per second (but the quick start isn’t as jarring as in another thruster I’ve tried!). The second is really starting to rock, and the third is probably around 100 strokes per minute—it’s hard to count, because Max is moving! (And the stroke length isn’t too shabby either, at about 2″: a more realistic thrusting distance than the Stronic pulsators.)

The first speed gets me going, but the second speed really gets me off—especially when it’s paired with the vibrations.

Vibration

Let me be clear: Max’s vibrations are not stellar on their own. The first steady speed has some rumbliness, and the second is more powerful without being incredibly buzzy, but the vibes work for me because they go hand-in-hand with the thrusting. Together, the second thrusting speed and the kinda-strong second steady vibration speed work. They combine to give me just the right amount of stimulation, so I’m sure to come within a few minutes.

Max’s shaft is very sleek, with no ridges or raised texture at all. Usually I like some texture on the toys I use vaginally, to rub against my G-spot. But with Max, the thrusting + vibration pair makes texture unnecessary.

And anally, Max’s tapered tip and slimmer, shorter shaft (right around 1.4″ diameter and 5″ insertable) make it more comfortable for me to use. I struggled to work my way up to using the anal-beaded Velvet Thruster Walter, and I’ve never found the energy to stretch myself to take the 1.75″ final bead. (What can I say, my butt likes it smaller.) When I have Max in my rectum, the vibration feels great around my sphincter and anal canal, and the smoothness is a huge advantage. I make sure to use lots of Sliquid Silk because the Maia Max is moving pretty fast!
