Gigi - vibrator by LELO - review by married with children

This is best used for G-spot pleasure. It is curved to hit a females g-spot. Anyone can use it, but females will get the most out of the shape. It can also be used as a clit vibrator. It would be one expensive bullet though. The vibrations can be felt throughout the toy, not in just one location. This is a pretty powerful vibrator.

It is not waterproof, so you will want to keep it away from the shower, tub, hot tub, and pool. Also do not use silicone lube. Water based only please, unless you want to risk ruining your Gigi.

This is made of silicone and ABS. Both the silicone and ABS have no smell of taste to them. The gig also does not have any texture, it is smooth from the tip to the base. The way this is used at our house, it does not need any texture. We just insert it and let the vibrations tease and pleasure her g-spot. But if you are one that would include thrusting in your sexual play, the lack of texture might be a con for you.

The silicone has a smooth velvety feel to it. With the addition of lubrication, it feels wonderful against your skin. It glides along very well with just a drop or two of lube. Remember to only use water based lube, or you could risk damaging your gigi.

This is designed like the typical g-spot shaped toy. the tip is curved upward toward your g-spot when inserted inside the vagina. When I first opened the box, I was a little taken back by the small nature of the gigi. But then I remembered this was for g-spot pleasure, and not for thrusting like a standard dildo or vibrator.

This is a very stiff and hard vibrator. There is no give at all to the shaft. If you choose to use this for thrusting of any kind, be careful as it could bruise and/or cause pain to your naughty bits.

This has an overall length of 6 1/2 inches. The insertable portion is about 3 1/2 inches long. The insertable portion is made of silicone. The base portion is made of ABS. The diameter at the head is just under 1 1/2 inches, then it tapers down to a diameter of 1 1/8 inches. There is a 1/2 wide metal ring between the silicone and ABS.

There is no visible seem in the silicone portion. However, the ABS portion has a pretty good sized seem running down both sides of the handle. There is also a seem on top and bottom of the metal ring dividing the silicone from the ABS.

This has just the right curve to hit my wife's g-spot. Of course everybody's body is different, so it might not be as perfect for you as it is for us.

The re-chargeable lithium ion battery takes about 30 minutes to re-charge. We get enough play time for 2 sessions, without sensing any lose in power. I would guess somewhere around the 1 1/2 mark, as I have not timed the usage. The lighted circle around the control button flashes when it is plugged in and charging. It will light up steadily when fully charged. This should not be plugged in for longer then 24 hours. You could risk damaging the battery. The charging port is covered with a silicone cover to help keep debris from getting inside.

The vibration functions are controlled by a four function dial button. You push and hold the +/- sides to change the strength of the vibrations. The up and down buttons cycle through the different functions. There are 5 to choose from. And 10 different intensity settings on the vibrations. The five different settings are
-steady vibrations
-slow pulse vibrations
-medium pulse vibrations
-fast pulse vibrations
-wave vibrations (weak vibrations to powerful vibrations back down to weak vibrations, repeat)

So with the 5 settings and 10 power settings, you get 50 different combination's to play with and enjoy. Everyone should be able to find a setting that floats their boat.

The lifespan of your Gigi will greatly increase with proper maintenance and care. Wash the stem with warm water and antibacterial soap, rinse with clean hot water and pat dry with a lint free cloth or towel. Avoid submerging and getting water into the DC socket or around the interface dial. Never use cleansers containing alcohol, petrol or acetone.

The packaging works wonders for storage also. There is a spot of the charger, if you do not want to leave it plugged into an outlet. The box has a nice tray with a cutout that fits the shape of your Gigi perfectly. We keep out Gigi inside the box, in our drawer besides the bed for easy access.

Like stated above, the Gig comes in a heavy duty cardboard box. The lid lifts off the base. It has a lift lid in one corner of the box, for storage of the charger and the instruction booklet. The Gigi comes with a satin bag for storage. We keep ours inside the satin bag, sitting inside the box. I would keep the box for storage. It will help separate your toys from each other, plus help keep it clean.

Lelo includes a booklet with instructions on charging, functions, and caring for your Gigi. It also comes with a sample packet of lube.

We like our gigi. It does what it is designed to do, pleasure my wife's g-spot. It should, for the price tag it has. I see this being around for many years to come.
