Gigi - vibrator by LELO - review by Dame Demi

After finally getting to try out LELO’s Gigi, I definitely have to agree it is truly the g-spot miracle machine it is reputed to be! All women are created differently, but I think it would be incredibly difficult NOT to find my g-spot with this toy! Immediately upon insertion, I knew exactly when I had hit the jackpot!

My Gigi is a very attractive deep rosy-purple color, with a silver band above the white plastic base. The insertable purple part is made of silicone, and can be sterilized by wiping down with a 10% bleach solution. Because it is silicone, please use it with water-based lubes only, please! It is very prettily displayed in a sturdy black case that also contains an under-compartment to hide the charger. Yes, the Gigi is rechargeable, and should run up to 2 hours on a 90 minute charge. It also comes with a black satin bag, but I prefer storing it in the box and using the bag for travel or for storing other toys.

The controls are comprised of a single round button with four directional symbols. . A “+” and “-” button turn the vibe on and off and cycle through its seven speeds. An up and down arrow cycle through the five different functions of the vibe. The button on the vibe also locks if you hold it down for 5 seconds, which is a great feature for travel and storage; it unlocks the same way. The indicator light surrounds the round button, and flashes while the Gigi is charging and is a solid halo of light when fully charged. The light also flashes briefly to let you know when you have successfully locked or unlocked the button control.

I did have some trouble with the control on the Gigi being located on top of the handle. Especially if you are using lube, it can be VERY easy to slip and accidentally change the speed or setting, which can be frustrating, to say the least. Still, this only happened to me once, so I do not consider it a major defect.

The shaft of the Gigi is slightly but nicely curved with a flared head and narrow neck. Though it feels good used on the clitoris, this is definitely a vibe designed with g-spot stimulation in mind! I do not consider this a thrusting toy, but rather preferred just wriggling it around on my g-spot once inserted.

The seven speeds of the Gigi range from a barely-there flutter to quite powerful vibrations that work well internally or externally. The vibe is very quiet, even at its highest speed. The functions are basically steady vibrations, differently timed pulsations, or an escalating roller coaster. I normally am not a fan of different functions, but I was definitely impressed that the Gigi’s functions can also be controlled by the speed controls in terms of intensity.
