Siri - vibrator by LELO - review by Darling Jen

The Siri is a tiny handheld vibrator meant to tease external parts of the body. I definitely wouldn't recommend trying to insert this little thing anywhere. Not only could it be lost (especially in the anal canal) but it could also be permanently damage from fluid getting inside the toy where it doesn't belong.

Tickle your breast area and tease your genitals with this rechargable vibrator. The Siri does not discriminate between gender expression so there's no rule that says you have to have a clitoris to enjoy it.

Also, as I will go into detail about later, it's a very quiet toy. So it's a great choice for those who live with family, have kids, or have a roommate and need some sensual pleasure without waking up the neighborhood!

The Siri is part ABS plastic (white) and a buttery smooth silicone (color part). The feel of the silicone is comparable to that of the Budding Bliss that I reviewed before. It's not tacky or sticky at all (read: not a lint magnet!). It's a beautifully smooth silicone that won't disappoint the material snobs like me out there.

One important note is that combining these two materials with a seam, and the open charging port at the end of the toy, makes this toy NOT waterproof at all. In fact, it's not even splash proof. Take special care when cleaning your Siri because it could be the last time you're able to turn it on if water gets through the docking port, behind the buttons, or inside the seam. I recommend using a toy cleaning wipe, gentle spray, or wet clothe.

Back the toy! It's very smooth, all curves and no hard edges, and ergonomically shaped. It felt great to hold against my body. But I have to say that it being so small and smooth made it hard to keep a hold onto during play. Especially when trying to hold onto it without changing the pattern or intensity accidentally. But thankfully, I found that it wasn't easy to press the buttons in without meaning to.

Now when I used it the first time, I had figured that the vibrations would be the strongest at the very tip of the silicone but in reality, I felt that the underside “ridge” was what I was primarily using for more sensation. But at least there are different levels of sensations even outside the predetermined settings just by changing which part of the toy you use for contact.

But whether you use the ridge, the tip, or turn it on its side, the vibrations continue all over the toy and the entire thing is small enough to work for just about anyone and fit in those tiny areas. I found that the larger head of my wand (even though it's miniature) was awkwardly big to use clitorally. It was a great change to have a toy whose vibrations more easily reached the area of interest.

The Siri has an impressive six patterns, starting always at a steady vibration. And each and every pattern can be increased or decreased in intensity, which is more options than the usual vibrator. There are seven levels of intensity to choose from as well. And have I mentioned that you can lock the buttons for travel so that it won't start vibrating in your purse, pocket, luggage? Awesome! It took a little while for me to get used to the four buttons and how to use it so I recommend using the instruction book and/or the instructional videos here on EF to help you out if you get one.

But to give you a quick overview, you hold down the (+) button to turn it on. It starts at the lowest intensity of steady vibration. You can either change the pattern by pressing the (^) button, you can increase the vibration intensity with the (+) button, or interchange between both! With the opposite buttons, you can scroll back down in intensity and pattern.

As for the vibrations, it's definitely stronger than the battery-operated, pocket rockets I've tried, and slightly more intense than the Little Chroma. But before you intensity queens and kings get excited, it's still no contender for any wand massager. But what it does have that wands don't is quiet! Even at the highest settings it's barely louder than a cell phone's hum. I have no problems using it in a quiet house when I know others are home because there's no way someone outside the room would be able to know what I am doing.

And as for my favorite parts, there's a few interests tidbits worth sharing. First, the instructions state that the toy will take 2 hours to charge and hold that charge for about 4 hours. I actually found that mine charges quicker than 2 hours to full and has lasted for days without a subsequent charge (yes, I used it at least once a day every day for at least 30 minutes each). So I am impressed with it's battery life on top of the fact that it doesn't require batteries to be purchased!

Second, the last pattern on the Siri is wonderfully unique and very effective. It's randomly switches between medium and high intensity in a steady vibration at odd intervals. I swear that the pitch created by the hum of the toy almost sounds like the melody of a song. Maybe that's just me...

Though I've mentioned it prematurely, this toy is a little high maintenance when it comes to care because it's not even splash proof and water can easily get in the buttons or charging port. Take caution when cleaning it and only use toy cleaning wipes, gentle sprays, and wet clothes to keep your toy lasting.

Storing, thankfully, is a lot easier. The little satin pouch works great to keep it from getting dirty between washes and the box is awesome for storage to keep it from rattling around in a drawer.

And as with all silicone toys, there is an obligatory warning in the product manual against using silicone lubricants with this or any other silicone toy. Though if you insist on using your favorite silicone lube, just make sure to do a test first on a small spot first (at your own risk!).

Very few of my toys have I been this excited about receiving. I was on pins and needles waiting for the package to arrive. And when it finally did, I was not disappointed. The Lelo packaging, as many know, is gorgeous. I'm not familiar with the traditional form they used to use but I will say that the current internal packaging is still beautiful enough for gift-giving. I even found myself not wanting to throw away the exterior color-matching box that the black box comes in.

It also comes with a cute white satin bag (no padding) for keeping it clean between uses. There is a little booklet of their 1 year warranty and a separate one for their 10 year guarantee. I was particularly impressed with the product information provided, in several languages. Then there's the AC wall charger and the Siri itself.

What I chose to do was to throw away the cardboard and plastic form the product came in inside the box and just use the box as well as the pouch for storage. And whenever I decide to travel, there will still be enough room in the box to through some lube in as well.

I know this is just another small vibrator to many, but to me this was the answer to my needs! Now that I'm going through a life change and find myself with my family again, even for just a while, I am unable to pull out all my loud, crazy toys whenever I want. So when people are home and I really need some personal 'me' time, I now have a quiet, yet powerful, discreet vibrator with plenty of variation to keep me interested. I can't compare it to the other similar products listed at the bottom of this review, as I don't own those yet, but this is one of only two vibrators I own that I will be reaching for to keep me satiated while I'm sharing my living quarters and is worth owning for anyone out there in a similar situation.
