Gigi by LELO

First of all, I think the Gigi is the most adorable vibrator on this site. It possessed me. It's as cute online as it is in person, but in person you can stroke its velvety silicone and admire its petite beauty up close. My first impression was how tiny it seems.

I give LELO accolades for being tasteful and sophisticated in every detail of their products.

Packaging is hardly worth mentioning when it comes to most things, and “sex” toys are no exception.

The packaging came in the same great color as my Gigi, so I assume there's a pink box for the pink version. No ostentatious photos are on the packaging, only tasteful outlines of what's inside. I think LELO grasps the concept that understatement has a sexiness of its own.

LELO even describes the Gigi as a “pleasure object”. To be truthful, I prefer this term over “sex toy”.

Inside the colored packaging, the black box is built to be the Gigi's living quarters, where there's a nook for the Gigi to sleep and a place underneath to keep your manual, warranty, and recharging unit.

Again, LELO feels the need to beat the competition into submission with its presentation.

The Gigi is rechargeable, making it quite light. The silicone is soft to the touch, but it feels like it's wrapped over a shape; it's firm, not squishy. FYI, don't use silicone lube on silicone toys since silicone oil destroys silicone.

I noticed a smell on the Gigi that's like burning latex gloves, or what I imagine burning latex gloves smells like.

The buttons are intuitive, but it's easy to hit a button to change the mode instead of changing the intensity like you wanted. She's not a thrusting toy.

Pleasantly, the vibrations are not shallow but can be felt deeply. The highest intensity is great, even though my clitoris is hard to find . . . how a stationary body part manages to evade me is beyond me.

The Gigi isn't silent, but it's discreet, with its loudest noise being a bit louder than a cell phone. Quietness is a major factor when I purchase a toy.

There are 5 different vibration patterns, but I prefer the first; though, the last one is fun because after stopping and before repeating, theres a “ripple effect” that I can feel echoing through my body.

The silicone does like to attract debris, so it might be best to wash it before you use it.

Does it work for the g-spot? Unfortunately, I haven't experienced the amazing and magical g-spot orgasm, with or without the Gigi.

Is it worth the price? With LELO, you're paying for quality and luxury. I'm sure, though, that there are plenty of rival vibrators for anyone's budget. I just happened to have some money on a gift card that needed to be wasted. The Gigi is awesome, but don't feel like you've missed the greatest thing since sliced bread by not buying it.
