BS Atelier Max Poly Pride striped silicone dildo review
How I wish I could gift my 2012 self a BS Atelier Max dildo!
Back when I was popular on FetLife and internet cucks showered me with gifts and worship, I probably could have requested any sex toy I wanted. But I understood so little about the sex toy industry that I hardly knew what to ask for.
The BS Atelier Max would have been the perfect first dildo for me. It features glossy, flexible silicone with a gentle, cervix-massaging curve, a defined coronal ridge for my G‑spot, and a tapered tip that slides in front of my cervix for the most comfortable A‑spot stimulation.
It's the most versatile dildo I own, with a satisfying combination of strengths that aren't too hardcore for long sessions. I'm always ready for Round 2 or 3 or 12. And, of course, afterglow snuggles with a bundle of fluffy blanket if my partner isn't around. I've used the BS Atelier Max so often that I think of it as the "Johnny" lite. It gives me so many of the things I loved about the Johnny, but without as much bulk. And the Max's closer-to average girth than the Johnny has its distinct benefits.
BS Atelier: more than rainbow-striped Pride dildos
2012 was "only" six years ago. But three weeks in the sex toy reviewer world is like three months in "regular" life. 2012 was before LELO started going downhill. It was before Peepshow Toys manifested their mission to rescue shoppers from Yucky Stuff. And it was definitely before you could find rainbow-striped silicone dildos at big chain shops like Condom Sense in Texas.
But BS Atelier, established in 2010 in Spain, didn't stop at rainbows. They have many different rainbow designs and went above and beyond with their other color schemes. This artisan dildo company makes dildos inspired by cow spots, paint splatters, and trans pride, along with butt plugs shaped like giant pills.
Their Max Poly Pride features diagonal stripes of blue, red, and black. Its sibling, the Max Genderqueer Pride, features stripes of purple, white, and green instead. Both are visually elegant, and when it comes to practical features, there's nothing left to add or take away.
Split-time G-spot and cervix stimulation
I know some readers are raising their eyebrows. After all, coronal ridges and representational head shapes are common on dildos. But hear me out: the ridge's low placement is what stands out and rocks my entire front wall.
Most dildo heads are about 1.5" long, while the BS Atelier Max's is 2.6" long— a full inch longer. With that longer head, I can let that slender tip slide behind my cervix on the "in" stroke, and have the ridge rub up against my G‑spot on the "out" stroke, all while thrusting in a way that feels natural to me and gets me off.
With most other dildos, I usually have to choose between my G‑spot and PFE zone/behind my cervix. In contrast, with the BS Atelier Max, I don't have to make excessively long thrusts to get both erogenous zones in one go. Let's do the math; my vagina is about 6.5" long, the BS Max's head is 2.6" long, and my G‑spot is about 1.5" in. So 6.5 — 2.6 — 1.5 = a 2.4" thrust length. That's perfect for me.
For comparison, the Velvet Thruster delivers 3" long thrusts. Its 3" thrust length works for my cervix only as long as I have the thrusting speed turned way up.
Stationary cervix stimulation during orgasm
The fun doesn't stop when the thrusting does. This silicone dildo has enough "give" that I can push it into my posterior fornix to clench and push against during orgasm. The fabulous clench, come, repeat. No, the BS Atelier Max is not super girthy like the VixSkin Johnny or Outlaw, but its firmness is just right for comfortable thrusting near my cervix. Think of it as just the Johnny's firm core, without the squishy and matte outer layer.
A-spot stimulation with the BS Atelier Max
Because the BS Atelier Max's head is so slim and tapered, it finesses my the area in front of my cervix (my anterior fornix / AFE zone) with ease. And I can't say that about the Johnny. Nor can I say that about the Chrystalino Champ, which does fit in front of my cervix but feels more "bleh" there. The Max's shaft is curved enough to be targeted, but without needing bulk.
No disrespect to the Blush Novelties Avant D4 or Temptasia Elvira's boxy heads— the G‑spot and A‑spot stimulation the D4 provides is more intense, but its brute force isn't always what my posterior fornix craves. My cervix gets the perfect amount of pressure from the Max. I can tilt tip towards my belly button to press against my cervix or A‑spot while getting some extra G‑spot pressure from the bending shaft.
My review of the Blush Avant D5 said that I didn't like its bendy shaft. However, I think the real differences are that there's no curve in the D5's shaft and the head is too blunt. The BS Atelier Max is bendier than the D5, but its curve and taper does much of the work. Its fit is so much more intuitive to me.
My verdict on the BS Atelier Max
I once called the Vixen Creations VixSkin Johnny the "meat and potatoes" of my sex toy collection, but I think the BS Atelier Max may usurp that title. It stimulates more of my erogenous zones, its surface is less draggy, and I don't need to warm up to the girth as much. The orgasms are quick and buildable with little added effort on my part. And it's not a coincidence that the BS Max reminds me of my beloved Vixskin Johnny— their shaft curvatures are similar.
If you want a smooth and average-sized everyday dildo, it's hard to beat the Max's versatility. It's about the same size as the Vixen Woody or dual-density Vixskin Mustang. You get a less mushrooming G‑spotting head with the Max, but its taper and head length make it more A‑spot friendly for me. The trade-off is worth it to me because my AFE zone is less roomy than the area behind my cervix. Plus, the Max's corona is about as defined as the Mustang's, which is enough for my G‑spot.
A dildo needs to stimulate my cervix well for me to really love it, but the BS Atelier Max gives me so much more than that. If I want penetration and not craving any dildo in particular, it's become a habit to grab the BS Max. I don't have to think about it— I already know it'll quell that urge for my favorite internal hot spots any time.

Does it keep its curve when held horizontally? If so, how much of it? The Vixen dual density Mustang loses ALL of it when horizontal, it's not a g‑spot or a‑spot dildo at all in reality. Many dual density curved dildo's lose their curve when horizontally unfortunately. And even when you are using it in another position, this means that it's straightened with ease, no g‑spot pressure.
It straightens a little but is firmer than the Mustang. I think, if someone's going to use the Mustang for G‑spotting, they'd really have to like the head shape. If you haven't tried using a glass toy for G‑spotting, I'd recommend that instead.
Those butt plugs — ha!
I’ve always been tempted by BS Atelier’s colorful/themed dildos, but have been underwhelmed by the toys’ measurements and product reviews. This is the first time I’ve read a review of the Max model, though. I might get the Max one day instead of the Vixen Johnny, which you’ve compared it to and so many people love, but I prefer Max’s colorfulness and lack of balls.
