Gigi - sex toy by LELO - review by Envy

The Gigi by Lelo is a luxury gspot vibrator. It has a flat head and is angled to hit the gspot and massage it while vibrating. It can also be used a clitoral vibrator if you prefer a flat surface rather than something more pinpoint. It can also be used to massage other parts of the body. It's great for someone who knows a bit about toys, I wouldn't say it's made exactly for a beginner due to the shape and the cost.

This toy can be used by a single person or with couples. The Gigi is very rigid, so care should be taken if a partner uses it on the other as it can hook on the public bone and become very painful if pulled out incorrectly.

Also, do note that this toy is splashproof, but isn't waterproof. Keep out of the tub and shower. And it's also not designed for anal usage, either, so do not stick this up your butt as it may get lost!

The Gigi is made of hard plastic with a metal band aorund the middle, and the shaft coated in a velvety soft silicone that can be sterilized and it doesn't have any taste or odor to it. On the plastic end is the charging port and it's covered by a silicone flap, and above that are four buttons centered on a D-pad.

Due note that because it's silicone, silicone lubes is a no go as you may ruin the toy using them. Water based lubes only!

Gigi is a rigid gspot vibrator. It has a slight curve and a rounded yet blunt head to apply pressure to the gspot and massage it. It can also, however, double as a clitoral vibrator. It's about 6 1/2 inches long, 4 inches of that are insertable. The head is smaller than the average size at only 1 1/8 inches wide. Oeverall it's a smaller, nonthreatening looking toy.

There are four buttons on direction pad, a plus, a minus, and up and down arrows. These cycle through the vibrations as well as increase or decrease the intensity. Holding the buttons a certain way also locks the toy so it doesn't turn on when the buttons are accidentally pressed.

At the bottom is a small hole used to charge the toy. It has a silicone flap over it to prevent anything getting inside it.

Overall this toy looks pleasing to the eyes, but it's not very discreet if you're looking for something that doesn't catch the attention of someone.

The Gigi has five settings of vibrations:

1. Steady vibration
2. Slow and steady pulses
3. Medium paces pulses
4. Fast paced pulses
5. Rollercoaster vibration (transitioning from high to low, over and over, like a wave)

To turn it on, old the plus sign until it turns on, then hold or press it over and over to turn up the intensity. To turn it off, hold the minus button down until it shuts off. The up and down arrows cycle through the vibration patterns. The toy also has a lock function, just press the plus and minus and hold until the light turns off. Repeat to unlock the toy.

Gigi is rechargeable as well and only takes a few hours to charge, and can last up to two hours on a single charge. It also has moderate vibration strength. Not enough to be a powerhouse, but not little enough to be a dud. However, it may not be strong enough for some people, so if you want something stronger, look elsewhere. The toy is also pretty quiet, even when on high, but you may need some white noise going on in the background to make sure no one can hear it through a closed door.

Since this toy has a motor, do not boil it or stick in the dishwasher! It will break and you'll be left with basically an expensive dildo, in which case it's better to get the non-vibrating version of Gigi, the Ella. Just warm soapy water is all you need to clean the toy, but do be careful not to get water in around the buttons or the charging port as it's not waterproof. You can wipe the silicone part of the toy in a 10% bleach solution as well.

Also, with it being silicone, remember to NOT use silicone lube with this toy.

When done, just store it in the little bag that comes with it.

The Gigi is stored in a black box that is really study and minimal. Inside is the toy with a plastic over, and under it is a compartment that holds the charger, manual, and the fabric bag for the toy. There is also a warranty in case something happens to your toy.

I really wanted to like the Gigi. When I was new to toys, I wanted to know about my gspot. I had gotten the Ella, but I found it didn't work for me, so I thought to try vibrations, so I bought the Gigi later. I found out, sadly, that my gspot doesn't even react to vibrations at all, but rather pressure, in which I found out using a different toy altogether.

One thing about this toy is the head. It kept catching on my pubic bone while thrusting, making it very uncomfortable. Also due to the broad flat head, for me it wasn't too good as a clitoral vibe as I prefer more pinpoint vibrations.

Another qualm I have is the length. My gspot is way further in and at only 4 inches, it's barely reached. If only this toy was slightly longer! I'm sure pressure plus vibrations would work well for me, but I haven't found a toy good enough to do both yet.

Sadly, this toy was a let down to me, but I blame it on my body type. It's a great toy, don't get me wrong, but it just didn't work for me.
