The middle bump of the toy is the widest portion at 15/16" in diameter. The bloopy bump on the tip is 3/4" and the insertable length is 4".

Instructions on use are included with the product, but for those of you looking at the picture and pondering just how this works, here are the basics: The wider paddle part toward the bottom right of the photo is the "perineum abutment" which is meant to press firmly against the perineum (the area between your anus and your balls) when the main body of the toy is inserted. When slipped inside, the curve of the main body should point toward your belly and the curly handle (lower left in the photo) should be pointing up between your butt cheeks, curling away from your back.

Please note that this is not an "instant orgasm machine." Some men find it works for them quite quickly, but others need to take their time to learn how to relax and use it just right. And really, if giving yourself wonderful orgasms isn't worth investing a little time in, what is?

True to its name, the Maximus is the largest of the stimulators made by Aneros and the sensation it provides is universally described by the Blowfishies as "a fuller experience." The diameter at the tip of this toy is 1-1/16" before swooping down into a jellybean-esk curve and plumping into the second bulb with a diameter of 1-1/8". It has an insertable length of 3-3/4" and a stem diameter (that's the part that emerges from the body when the toy is in place) of 1/2". Unlike the ribbed base on the MGX, the stem is smooth on the Maximus.

By means of comparison, the folks at Aneros tell us that the Maximus is designed for more "advanced users." Due to the more bulbous shape of the head and the increased volume overall, this model does not move around as much inside of the rectum. While it seems that more toy would equal more pressure meaning bigger orgasms, that is not necessarily the case. The Aneros toy is designed to be a "hands-free" device that, once inserted, squeezing the abdominal muscles and sphincter will cause the toy to move and massage various points on the prostate and perineum. A bigger toy moving less freely will massage less and press more than a smaller one. The lack of ribbing on the base makes the stem harder for the anus to grip on to, also contributing to less motion overall. Thus, mastering your hula-hoop type motions on the smaller model might better prepare you for using the Maximus more effectively.

Also, while the MGX has a more tapered head causing it to almost leap into your butt when you press it in, the Maximus goes in a little more slowly. While some testers say these toys feel more or less the same once they are inserted, others swear that they feel as different as different could be and can spell out the highlights of each down to specific places on the prostate getting more attention and a particular "cuddling" of the interior anal walls. But heck, even our female tester loved using this toy as a butt plug and she doesn't even have a prostate! Just remember, this is not an instant orgasm machine; it takes time to learn how to relax and use it just right. Really though, if giving yourself wonderful orgasms isn't worth investing a little time in, what is?

In our own testing, it did seem, once you get the slightly ovoid head inserted, to sort of "leap" or slide quickly into the anus, almost on its own, thanks to those automatic contractions, but once fully inserted, some conscious squeezing and releasing were required to really get things moving. The slender head is followed by an even narrower shaft with two small bumps on it — this allows you to really focus on the deeper head of the toy without feeling full-up on the shaft. It's definitely a unique anal experience, very different from traditional butt-plugs, dildos, beads or even other prostate-friendly devices.

It comes in either a 4" long beginner set, with two of the larger devices (22mm and 18 mm, which translates to approximately 4/5" and 3/5") or a 3-3/4" long advanced set, with two of the smaller devices (20mm and 16mm, or approximately 9/10" and 7/10"). If the advanced set being the smaller makes no sense to you, allow me to borrow Aneros' explanation: "It's easier to grip a baseball bat than a pencil." Indeed. We did find that it is easier to feel the bigger toy, er, sorry, device, in our behinds, and we were able to trigger that reflex easier with the bigger ones, too, and since even the bigger sizes are really quite small, it sort of makes sense. Use the set (whichever one you decide on) as a way to work your way up (or, in this case, down) to the advanced models, or share it with your partner for double the fun during intercourse. It's a one-way ticket to Peridise!

The Bad Boy starts with an oblong tip that's about 1-1/16" x 1-5/32", which seems modest enough. The second swell (also not perfectly round) is 1-5/16" x 1-7/16", the third swell jumps to a sizable 1-1/2" x 1-5/8" before narrowing down to a neck that's 1-3/16" x 1-5/32". Ok, those are the numbers, but what does it mean?

It means that the Bad Boy fills you up, hits the prostate spot-on and doesn't let you forget that it's in there, hitting your sweet spot just so. Turn on the bullet vibe in the base (oh, numbers on that are 1-5/8" across, 1-1/2" deep and 2-1/2" long (not counting the bullet)) and the super-strong vibrations stimulate the perineum and make their way insistently to the very tip of the toy, where they buzz against your joyfully grateful prostate with an intensity you've previously only dreamed of. The bullet is a super-strong RO-80MM bullet, and runs on a powerful size "N" battery (both bullet and battery are included; we also sell replacement batteries). These vibrations don't run out quickly like other bullet vibes — you can expect at least 4 hours of vibrating fun before you'll have to replace the battery on this puppy.

Our tester reported clearly better orgasms when wearing this toy. In fact, the only complaint our tester had — other than his cat's interest in the strong purring vibrations of the toy — was that, once lubed, the Bad Boy doesn't stay in quite as well as he would have liked. Trooper that he is, he worked it in without lube to see if that helped and, while it did, that's REALLY uncomfortable (for the record, we don't really recommend any anal play without lube, as that's a rather delicate part of your anatomy). He found it distracting that the lubed-up toy slowly worked its way out while he jerked off, though he managed to keep it in with a little effort. Despite this distraction, his review was a rave, and the orgasm reported was way better than usual, so we don't consider this a deal-breaker on this excellent toy. And who knows? Everyone's built differently, and it might stay in better for you.

Made of 100% silicone, the surface of the toy is a bit "grippier" than other silicone toys we've experienced. Remove the bullet and you can boil this toy or put it in the top rack of the dishwasher to clean it (washing it under the faucet works, too, and seems effective for solo use based on the relatively less-porous nature of the silicone). Our tester wore it in the shower without issue, but we wouldn't submerge the bullet. For those times when you're more than just rude or naughty, the Bad Boy just might fulfill your wildest urges.

The Glide also comes with a nifty tool (made of color corresponding plastic that matches the toy) that pops the ball bearing out of the massager if you find that you want to clean it thoroughly. We who love to keep our playthings spick-and-span think this is damn near brilliant.

The bullet nestled in the base is powerful enough to transmit vibrations throughout the entire toy, so you can feel the vibrations all the way up to where the tip rubs against your sensitive p-spot. The bullet is powered by an size "N" battery (included; we also sell replacements), which is why it's so much more darn powerful than other bullets, and it will run for 4 to 10 hours before the battery needs replacing (though we don't recommend wearing the toy that long!).

The base itself is also a p-spot massager, this time the "p" being your perineum. A few raised ridges help give you some texture as you rock back and forth on the toy, and the vibrations are strongest right here, titillating the nerve clusters right at the base of the testicles. Our testers reported that this feature alone seemed to lead to a more engorged, possibly even larger erection, though we can't promise that for everyone (sorry!). The base measures about 1-1/2" across, 1-3/8" deep and 2-1/2" long (not counting bullet). For the Naughty Boy in, well, you!

Built like a solid-silicone finger and thumb, the Rude Boy is designed to slip inside your butt easily while also rubbing against your neglected outside parts. The insertable "finger" portion measures 5 inches long (when uncurled) and a novice-friendly 1 inch wide for the entirety of the shaft. The external "thumb" portion is about 2-1/2 inches long and topped with some pleasure nubbies that help grip the skin and keep the toy in place behind the balls. The "thumb" portion also houses a vibrating bullet that sends fast-paced vibrations through the toy, deep inside your body. You can sit up with the Rude Boy inserted for extra sensation on the perineum and, if even more friction is desired, you can rock back and forth for hands-free stimulation. The shape of the silicone makes it easy to retain the toy while sitting or lying down, and some of our testers reported being able to walk around and fuck with it inserted as well!

The Rude Boy vibrates with medium intensity almost silently and it's waterproof for those who want a prostate massage and a bubble bath at the same time. The vibrating motor is actually a bullet massager and (we were told) it's removable for partner play. However, the bullets inside the test massagers were held so firmly in place that it was a big hassle trying to get them out. In all honesty, our testers weren't so keen on handing off the fabulous vibration element in the first place, so the issue was moot from the get go. We suggest assuming the bullet won't come out and consider buying a second Rude Boy for your lover, just in case. Requires one 1.5V size N battery to vibrate (included; we also sell replacements).

But really, the focal point of this fabulous ass-toy is the vibration for which the toy is named. Located in the bottom of the shaft, a hand-crafted stainless-steel bullet vibrator sends "prostate specific" vibrations through the firm toy and into your body. We aren't sure exactly how the manufacturers stumbled across these three vibration patterns, nor how they tested them for prostate specificness, but our testers sure loved them! The packaging even suggests inserting the toy and getting it on with a partner, thrusting into them during each vibration burst. Now there's an idea we love!

The vibrating bullet and the stainless ball-bearing are both removable from the firm plastic shell for cleaning. The vibe takes one, 6V, L1325 battery (included). 3-1/2 inches insertable (4-1/4 inches if measured along the curve) by 1 inch wide (plus ripples).
