Gigi - g-spot vibrator discontinued by LELO - review by marizipan

My Gigi was my very first vibrator, and what a vibrator it is! It's powerful enough to give me a g-spot orgasm faster than any other g-spot vibrator I own. Because of the flat end, it is also good for clitoral stimulation. Because the shaft is 100% medical grade silicone, it is completely body safe and nonporous, and therefore extremely easy to clean. I keep my Gigi in its original packaging: a black gift box. If space is an issue, however, a satin pouch is included in the box to prevent dust and/or lint from sticking to Gigi, as silicone can be a dust magnet. It has no smell, and is soft to the touch. The turquoise is just gorgeous, and the shaft warms easily against the skin. Gigi is not waterproof, however, so be sure to keep water away from the buttons and charging port. If a waterproof g-spot vibrator is what you're after, take a peek at Lelo's Insignia Isla.

As with all Lelo products, Gigi has an extremely powerful and quiet motor. Even at its highest setting, my Gigi cannot be heard from the other side of a closed door. If you have roommates or children, you know how important it can be to have a quiet vibrator, and Lelo is famous for how silent their collection is. The near-silent vibrations, however, are goose bump inducing, and with five different patterns and seven speeds to choose from, every time I pick up my Gigi, it's like a whole new experience. Gigi is rechargeable, and can last up to four hours from a two-hour charge. Between uses, Gigi can hold a charge for up to 90 days before it needs to be charged. As with all Lelo products, Gigi has a one-year warranty. The insertable length is 4 1/2 inches, which is perfect for hitting most g-spots. Gigi is quite filling, but not particularly girthy at 1 1/18 inches in diameter. Because Gigi does not have a large circumference, it can be used with a partner for dual penetration easily, although it should not be used anally because this vibrator does not have a flared base and could be engulfed.

My favorite part about this vibrator is the locking feature: just hold down the center of the dial until the LED lights up to unlock it, and do the same until the lights shut off to lock it. Once locked, Gigi won't turn on at any inconvenient times, and because of the included satin pouch, it is a perfect travel companion. I would not suggest, however, testing Gigi out in public places such as bathroom stalls or movie theaters, as she may be quiet, but not that quiet. Gigi is excellent for beginners and advanced users alike because of its powerful and near-silent vibrations. Like any silicone toy, water-based lube is best because silicone lube reacts with the silicone in your toy and will leave it permanently tacky. Gigi is not suited for anal play and is splash-proof, not waterproof. My Gigi is still my go-to g-spot vibrator, despite not being waterproof, because its vibrations are just that strong.

The Gigi has a bit of a learning curve to get it into the perfect place for g-spot stimulation, like with any vibrator. What's great about this toy is that if you hold down the +, it will increase speed until it reaches its highest setting. If you hold down the -, it will decrease until it turns off. Holding down the - does not lock Gigi, but being able to turn down, and then off, the vibrations in a pinch is very convenient if you're interrupted by a roommate asking where the sugar is, or one of your kids saying they can't sleep. My Gigi has always treated me well, from the vibrations that can make my knees weak, to the battery that claims to last four hours, though I'm inclined to think it lasts longer than that. I used mine every day for a week, and didn't have to charge it.
