A Rechargable Wonder!
The Lelo Liv is a high quality vibrator! It saves on batteries by being rechargeable. It's multiple vibration settings give the ability to personalize it. It's small enough to be discreet when traveling or storing but packs a punch when turned on! It's silent enough to not wake everyone that may be in your house while you use it.Published: November 16, 2009
Pros:
Smooth silicone, easy to clean, rechargeable, super quiet, strong.
Cons:
Accidentally hitting buttons.
I was sick and tired of junky "novelty" vibes and was on the hunt for a quiet, good quality, rechargeable, yet still strong vibe and I found it with the Lelo Liv. The price gave me pause but after reading wonderful reviews I was ready to buy!
When I finally got the Liv in the mail I couldn't wait to get it out and use it! Unfortunately we had to allow it to charge but the next night my husband and I were finally able to use it. When we turned it on we were surprised at how quiet it was, we were used to having vibrators that hummed like heavy machinery! The Lelo Liv is rechargeable and holds a charge for a long time. The description says two hours but in our experience it is more like 4. It has multiple pulsation settings and power levels. The Liv is made of super smooth silicone which is a breeze to clean, we use antibacterial soap and water, and it feels great! You can not use silicone based lubes so we use Eros water-based lube. I primarily use the Liv on my clit so I don't have much experience with internal use although it's a little small for my taste. I am a girl that needs a lot of power to get off and this vibe is great! My husband and I use the Liv during sex and it is small enough to do the job and not get in the way. It's also a wonderful vibe for when my husband is away with the Army. This vibrator isn't just useful it's also very pretty, if I didn't have kids I would have no problem leaving it out. If you don't want to leave it out, it comes with a pretty silk pouch to protect it. The box is also very nice. I kept the box to store the vibe in while charging because the light on the vibe does stay on while charging and can be pretty bright. The lock mode is awesome when you are traveling so the vibe doesn't accidentally get turned on!
My only complaint about the Lelo Liv is that sometimes when you are in the heat of the moment your hand can slip and you can push some buttons, which is pretty frustrating when you are about to cum! The Lelo Liv is a great addition to the bedroom and WELL WORTH the money! Not to mention you save on batteries!

Follow-up commentary
26 days after original review
This Lelo Liv review was my first review and I am pretty disappointed in the quality of the review considering this is my absolute favorite toy!
I have owned the Liv for over a year now and it works just as well as it did the day I bought it. The high price may turn off some people but it is well worth it. You can just tell it's quality by looking at it. The silicone is soft and very easy to clean. We have used warm water and antibacterial soap to clean and it is still as soft as the day we got it. We also only use water based lube which helps to keep the silicone in good shape.
The Liv will hold a charge for a long time. I rarely have to charge this. Even when we are using it for about 20 minutes every day I only have to charge it once or twice a month. When you do need to charge it, it takes very minimal time. I have charged this vibe for about an hour from near dead and it was perfect. I love the rechargeable aspect of this vibe but be sure to keep a spare vibe around. I have found myself grabbing it only to find it's dead. So I was glad to have a back up.
I still LOVE how quiet and small this vibrator is. It's very discreet and the pouch they give you to store it in is wonderful. The smaller size is really what sold me on the Liv versus other Lelo vibes.
The controls are great! I do find myself slipping and hitting buttons on occasion but it's not enough to make me give up on this wonderful vibrator. The lights on the controls have proven to be useful to us in the dark. It can make a good "flashlight" when you are fumbling around in the dark.
I LOVE this vibe. I use it very often. If you are concerned about the price just think about the fact that this vibe will probably last you a lifetime. It will be well worth the money in the long run...plus, you will spend less on batteries.

Liv settings

I have the Liv and find all the interval settings to just be annoying! I use it strictly on the regular constant vibration setting. What's your favorite Liv setting?

Toy Colors

Looking at the new Lime Green color of LELO's Liv, I'm very close to buying it, just because it's such a kick ass color. Anybody else have a soft spot for nicely colored toys?
Gigi will be my next purchase, and I think the dusty rose actually looks really pretty, but now there's bright blue...lol, I'm torn. -
Blue, green, and orange are my favorites. I prefer the "non-natural" coloring :-). Even if it's shaped like a real penis, it should be day-glo purple or somesuch :-)
-
I'm that way too. I like non-natural colors for toys. That is a kick ass color, that green. The pink Gigi does look pretty, but I also like how bright the turquoise is too! My next big buy will probably be a Gigi too, it just sounds so amazing. :)

The Liv or the Gigi. Both by Lelo
-
I've been hearing a lot lately about the Gigi. I haven't paid much attention because I absolutely love my Liv. I flipped back and saw that they are the same price, same company and only slightly different design. Does anyone actually have both? The Liv has been my all time favorite vibrator for a long time.
-
I actually have the Liv (though I haven't written up a review yet), the Iris, and the Elise. Honestly, and I hate to say it, but the Liv is probably my least favorite of the bunch. It's still an excellent vibe, but it's missing the delicious texturing of the Iris and the g-spot magic of the Gigi. If you like Lelo's products, I'd say the Gigi is definitely worth checking out!

Thank you for viewing Liv – g-spot vibrator review page!
Welcome to the community. Thanks for your first review, I think you are off to a good start. One suggestion I make to many new reviewers is to consider using the Extended Template when writing a review. It offers many tips and suggestions for what information you might want to include in your reviews. Some additional information on what the toy is made out of, what type of lube you can and cannot use with it and how to clean it is often helpful to the reader.
Thanks! I found the advanced template and did a review with it! It's definitely way easier!
Welcome to EF and thank you for your review!
Ahh...I feel like I will be the last one to have one of these. I will get one though. Don't you love looking back on reviews?!?!
I am still relatively new but even still I am sad that I wrote such a crappy review. I LOVE this vibe and I could have expressed my love way better than I did! lol!
Thanks for the review
Thanks for the review.
