Gigi I'm giddy with pleasure!
If you are looking for a quality g-spot vibrator to do the trick, look no further! The Gigi hits my g-spot with very little effort on my part and is slender enough to be a great choice for beginners! Even though the price is a bit steep, I'm sooo glad I went ahead and bought this one!Published: August 20, 2008
Pros:
Silicone, comes with it's own storage box, rechargeable and hit's my G!
Cons:
Easy to accidentally hit the controls during play!
Ah, the Gigi g-spot vibrator from Lelo! How I coveted the raving reviews of orgasmic pleasure but, the price! Should I really spend that much on a g-spot vibe? I wanted to make Gigi mine! I checked for new reviews every time I logged on and viewing the actual size image while I was there. Imagining how wonderful that silicone shaft would feel inside of me.... You get the idea.....
When the object of my attention arrived, I opened a glossy, purple cardboard box to find a sturdier black box contained inside. I lifted the lid off of the black box to find my new Gigi laying in it's own molded holder. The holder that the Gigi rests in also lifts out allowing a storage area for the charger, an additional white satin bag, one year warranty and user manual. Nice!
I chose to purchase the purple Gigi. It does come in pink as well. The purple silicone shaft is separated from the white plastic handle via a shiny metallic band. This creates an almost seamless appearance! I find it very smooth and classy looking indeed! Since it is rechargeable, I found it to be fairly light without the extra weight from batteries. It is rather small in stature though so, you won't find alot of girth with this one! It really isn't about the girth so much as the g-spot though. I do believe it's silicone covered plastic so, it has the rigidness to apply firm g-spot pressure. Being silicone, you should only use water based lubes with the Gigi. It's also phthalate free and easily cleaned. Just use your favorite toy cleaner, antibacterial soap and water or if sharing, be sure to sterilize it with a 10% bleach solution! I noticed no smell from this product.
I was ready to charge it up so, I removed the protective silicon cap from the base, plugged the charger in until it made a slight click and then plugged the charger into the outlet. I noticed that the light indicator encircling the control panel started flashing. It flashes when it's charging and quits flashing when it's fully charged so, you don't have to guess. The same led light will become a reddish color if the battery's low and you try to use it. You are advised in the user's manual not to use the Gigi while it is charging so, I didn't attempt this. It also states that you should not charge it longer than 24 hours. You should receive up to 2 hours of vibrations from an hour and a half charge. I have not used it that long so, I'm not sure if it actually lasts the full 2 hours. The manual also claims that the battery has a standby time of 90 days but, who could go that long without using it?
Now that my new g-spot vibe was charged and ready to go, I couldn't wait to see what it could do! The controls took me awhile to get used to but, they are easy once you know what you are doing. The circular control panel has a plus on one side and a minus on the other. These are used to cycle through the vibration speeds. The description states that there are 7 speeds but, I actually noticed at least 10 different speeds with mine. They varied from barely there all the way up to a good strong vibration that may be a bit too intense for some. If you don't want to keep pressing the button you can just hold it down to cycle all the way up to the highest speed or all the way down to the lowest speed. On the top of the control panel there is an up arrow and on the bottom there is a down arrow. These are for cycling through the functions once you have settled on a speed. There are four different functions with this vibe, five if you count the steady vibration. First, is the steady vibration. Second, is a short interval pulsation. Third, is an intermediate interval pulsation. Fourth, is an extended interval pulsation and five, is called before and after. The second, third and fourth variations are all just pulses of vibration with different delays in between. The fourth variation is just kind of a roller coaster starting at a high vibration then dwindling down to a low vibration and then back up again.
Another great feature of this vibe is the ability to lock it so, it won't turn on if accidentally pressed. This is a great feature if you travel! Just hold down on the very center of the control panel for 5 seconds until the light goes off. To unlock it, hold the center down until the light comes on again. Pretty simple in my book!

Experience
The Gigi g-spot vibe is a marvelous product. The only complaint I have is the same one as so many others... the controls can be quite treacherous during use! There is really no way to keep your fingers away from the controls! The benefits of the Gigi outweigh this minor flaw in my opinion and it never claimed that you wouldn't accidentally change the speed so, I didn't take anything away from it for this. I'm just glad I'm as pleased with it as I expected to be and if you like g-spot stimulation, you will more than likely be pleased with it to!
So, how does the Gigi perform as a g-spot vibe? After lubing it up with my water based, wet heating massage lotion, I am pleased to say it performs marvelously well! It hits my g-spot with little effort on my part. It just kind of goes in and hits it......and goes in and hits it.......and goes in and hits it......did I mention this is great for thrusting?
This thing is so light I have not had any hand cramps from using it yet! Light, powerful and silicone to boot! What more could a girl want? If you like g-spot stimulation, this one will definitely do the trick! It nestles itself right up there on my g with virtually no help on my part and it feels fantastic while thrusting! It's also great to use during sex! We like doggie style so, the curve of this vibe helps reach my clit from that position! Of course you could use this vibe on virtually any erogenous zone on your body as well as your partners. Oh the possibilities!
Just remember to never store your Gigi in direct sunlight or expose it to extreme heat! Store it away from other toys, preferably in it's case or satin travel pouch, and use only water based lubes. Taking these measures should ensure a good, long lifetime to your Gigi!

Follow-up commentary
11 months after original review
The Gigi is still working wonderfully for me and hasn't died yet! I'm so glad too because she's not cheap! Lelo does truly make quality products though, so I'm really not surprised that she's still going strong.
I do have to admit that when I first got Gigi, thrusting with her was fun but somewhere along the way that changed. Is it possible for a g-spot to grow larger? Anyway, she's so rigid that I can't always thrust her anymore, but I do love to just stick her in there on my g-spot and wiggle her. That provides a very nice sensation for me and the vibration is usually all I really need.
When I want a g-spot toy that I can thrust quickly, I now turn to Ella, Gigi's non-vibrating sister. Ella is more flexible so she's just more comfortable for me to thrust. Don't get me wrong here because I still love Gigi but they both have their places in my bedroom. They both provide surprisingly different sensations as well. Ella can provide your g-spot with a very stimulating, stroking effect while Gigi can vibrate it into oblivion. It's your choice!
So, do I still love the Gigi? Absolutely! I wouldn't part with her at all. She's still a great toy that I love to play with. She just has some competition now.

How easy is the Gigi- G Spot Vibrators to use during sex?
-
I think it's more of a solo toy. You should look at the We vibes.

Quote: How easy is the Gigi- G Spot Vibrators to use during sex?I think it works pretty well for this purpose. I use it simultaneously with a dildo all the time. Is it the best for this purpose? I would say you'd be better off using a smaller vibrator such as the Lelo Siri which is another personal favorite of mine during piv sex. Although it is pretty easy to use the Gigi. Works in all positions where your body isn't completely pressed against a surface or your partner's body. You'll need to give a little space in between you and your partner to fit the toy but it still works really well.

Lelo Gigi - Using a Condom or Not
-
I have recently bought the Gigi vibrator from LELO.
For my first use, I used a condom to cover the Gigi (the brand I used is Lifestyles Studded). After removing the condom, I noticed that the lubricant, from the inside the condom, left a kind of oily residue on the Gigi. I tried to use my toy cleaner to remove it, but I am slightly worried
I am worried that the lubricant from this condom is not water-based. Now, I have a few questions that I was unable to research answers to.
1) Was the condom I used water-based?
2) Have I ruined my new Gigi?
3) Is it best to use a condom on the Gigi or not?
Any advice/help will be much appreciated.
- Dr. Manhattan -
From what I can find via Google, it looks like the lubricant in that condom isn't a silicone lubricant so it should be okay.
Lubricant Ingredients: Glycerine, Propylene Glycol, Polysorbate 20, Phenonip, Carbomer
I don't think you're ruined anything. If you're concerned you might want to try to find a different type of condom that leaves less residue. I have no suggestions because almost all condoms irritate me and since I'm fluid bonded with my partner we don't use them. -

Will using soap and water be bad for the Gigi? At least just for the silicone part of the vibrator?

is jt worth it

Is the product worth the price ????
-
I'm pretty sure we answered a similar set of questions about the pros and cons of expensive vibrators.
-
Quote: Is the product worth the price ????Absolutely!! I bought mine a couple years ago after (literally) melting my previous one. Between the cost of having to replace my vibrators and the batteries constantly, I went for it and have no regrets!! Gigi is a regular part of our sex life! However, I use it only for cliteral stimulation (which works for me) so I can't speak if you are interested in G-spot usage.
The one drawback is I've found that I tend to hit the speed controls during use. Otherwise, the warranty is great (though i've never had one problem with it), it's easy to keep clean and store, and I LOVE that it's rechargable.
Enjoy!

I'd like to try a g-spot vib, but i dont know if this should be the one to buy...Any comments?
-
Quote: I'd like to try a g-spot vib, but i dont know if this should be the one to buy...Any comments?I highly recommend the Gigi for G-spot play. It's firm enough to stimulate it with the amount of pressure needed, but velvety enough to not be too much. Additionally the vibration settings I found to be ideal for pressing against my G-spot. Just have a towel ready!

Quote: I'd like to try a g-spot vib, but i dont know if this should be the one to buy...Any comments?I would recommend the Gigi for g-spot play. I will point out though that if you have a g-spot that is on the further side in terms of depth in the vagina, or if like me your vaginal canal has a sharp curve to it then you should look for a toy that is longer than the Gigi. I love the Gigi as a clitoral vibrator but based on my anatomy it didn't do much for me as a g-spot stimulator. Take your anatomy into consideration before you buy a toy for g-spot play. If you are like me and think you'll need a more lengthy toy try the G-Spot Pink glass stimulator. I'm currently working on a review for that toy and it is a personal favorite of mine.

Charging Gigi in the UK
-
FiredrakeNemmySo uh, my gf lives across the pond in England and I wanted to get a little something to bring her next I go visit.
She really likes the use of the Gigi vibrator but I'm worried about the charging of the toy, I learned to be wary of such things when I blew out the power to my Wii :X
But anyways, if anyone who has one could kindly take a look at the allowed voltages I would really appreciate it. The voltage info can usually be found on the charger itself ( a bunch of random numbers and such and has that UL logo ) Does it list the Input as 100V-240V or just something around 100V?
Thanks! -

The charger I have with mine has the 100V-240V range.
You might also look at getting a charger specifically for using the Gigi in England.

To Buy or Not to Buy....

My 22nd birthday is coming up which means birthday monies <3 I'm trying to see if I can orgasm with my gspot but haven't had any luck. I've been close but no beans yet. I'm debating getting this to see if it'll work for me, plus I'm trying to go off birth control, it's made my sex drive completely dissappear after 2 years of being on it, not to mention making me depressed, moody, etc.
Anyway, would this be recommended? Where's the vibration, though? More in the shaft towards the buttons or more at the tip? And is it plenty strong? (I need strong vibrations.)
I'll have to order at a time my dad won't be home, though, and make sure it arrives when he's at work--how embarassing it'd be for me for him to find out I have toys! -

I know I love it! It's my favorite vibrator.

is the gigi a good starter g-spot vibe?
-
My friend Lee's birthday is coming up and ever since I told her about female ejaculation and what it is and that I can do it, she's been trying to find everything about it and is really interested in a g-spot vibrator, but she doesn't really like the way most vibrators feel with vibrations. To her, they feel like an "Oh, there's something vibrating in my ladyparts but it's doing nothing for me." So, my question is, is the Gigi different in that sense that the vibrations have some "variety" to them and they're not so monotonous? I'd love to get her the Gigi for her birthday and have heard nothing but great things about it.

If it has to vibrate and you want to be able to use it for clitoral stimulation, Gigi is great. But if you're on a lower budget and only want g-spot stimulation, the Ella is one of this forum's favorite dildos.

Best G-spot vibrator. Which one to pick?
-
Rachell25LELO has presented a couple of very well designed G-spot vibrators, like Gigi, Liv and Elise, lately. Just looking at them makes me feel horny. They all have great features and different vibration modes and they are also rechargeable, so I can safe my money on batteries.
Gigi seems to be the toy of my dreams due to its well pronounced curved tip. I guess that will lead to a better contact with my G-spot.
Any ideas, suggestions, tips? Anything will do.
PS: Will Gigi make me squirt??? -
RainbowWow... that looks really splendid, in fact, all of them do.
It looks like it's going to be my G-spot's best friend for ages.
That must be a bargain but it is kind of expensive for me at the moment but as soon as I can afford one I will surely have one in my toy box. -
SirenMy dear, not every woman is able to "squirt", it depends on every woman's physiology but it is definitely going to send you to Seven's Heaven of Pleasure.
I own one, the Liv, and it's just terrible, in the good meaning of the word.
I can assure you, you made a perfect choice if you're looking for G-spot stimulation.

Thank you for viewing Gigi – g-spot vibrator review page!
Great review Oggins! This toy gets so many good reviews, maybe it's time for me to join the bandwagon as well.
Awesome write-up. :-)
Thanks Bulma! I'm glad you liked it because I had some issues with the word limit and had to hack a few things off and my review actually kind of ran into my experience section. =P Isn't it strange how you can find so much to say about the toys you truly love? Anyway, come on and jump on this bandwagon! Especially if your g-spot has been feeling a bit neglected! =)
Thank you so much Innocently Masturbating! I'm glad you enjoyed it! =)
Oggins, where do you get all your money!? I want some!
Hahaha! Well, I don't have any more. I'm broke now! =P Seriously though, I didn't buy them all at once. I've had some longer than others but, I have been known to splurge once in awhile! Hubby does have a tendency to spoil me sometimes too. You know, you'd actually be surprised at how much money you can save up just by dumping all your loose change into a jar for a couple months though!
Great review of a great toy! Keep 'em coming! ;)
Nice review. Standby time of 90 days?! Why doesn't my cell phone have that.
Thanks DD! I'll keep them coming the best I can! =P I'm running kind of low right now. I do have a small shipment due in tomorrow so, we'll see.....
Thanks CW! That truly is what the users manual says....90 days. It would be interesting to know if it really does standby that long! I'd experiment and see but....I don't know if I can though! =P
I think I may surprise my wife with one of these. She has been wanting one for a long time but, wasn't sure on whether it would be good or not. Thanks for the great review Oggins!!
You're very welcome MaxD! I would have been really happy if hubby had surprised me with one of these so, I would imagine your wife will be quite happy and it's not just good, it's fantastic! =)
Great review! I have to say that I haven't bought a LELO vibe that I haven't simply loved ever since buying the Mia I've been hooked! This sounds like one to try!
Thanks for the compliment b0xergirliegirl! Lelo never fails to disappoint in our house, that's for sure! They truly are addictive too! I hope you get a chance to try this one soon and don't forget to let us all know how it worked for you!
Great review! I've got to get one of these...
I'm glad you did a follow up review. I always like to see how the more expensive toys do with time.
Love this review, and this may be our next purchase! Thanks!
