What a let down.
This product is simply not worth it if you are looking to orgasm. It is not strong enough to provoke a response, it is expensive, and the quality is low. Don't waste your money. This is a toy that looks pretty on the outside, but is a dud.Published: December 6, 2011
Pros:
quiet, rechargeable, good for beginners
Cons:
expensive, wiring issues, low power, not useful for intended purpose
Let me start with the good things. This toy is easy to clean, resists odor and is very quiet relative to its power. It also seems like it is good quality. No sharp edges or fire hazards! It works well for clitoral stimulation, and is rechargeable. You do not need to stock up on batteries any longer. It comes in a nice box which is pretty low key. It could just as easily be a jewelry box, and the charger is a good length.
Now for the negatives. First, it stopped charging roughly a month after I bought it, so it is useless now. Second, a two hour charge only outputs 30ish minutes on the highest speed. If you are hard to please like me, you will need to charge it many times. It is awkward to use internally. The saleswoman gushed about how great it is, but it did nothing for me. I know this is a highly reviewed product, so maybe I am missing something, but I have been more satisfied with $10 bullets, and they have lasted longer! It is expensive, so I expected more from the product.
Overall, I would not suggest this product to others because I have had such negative experiences. It did not work for its intended purpose, it broke quickly and it is expensive. If you have internal orgasm easily, maybe this is the product for you, but I highly encourage others to think about other products. Even for clitoral use, there are products which offer much more buzz for your buck. Just because it is expensive does not mean that it is going to get the job done. There are much cheaper options that can do just as much (probably more). I was completely underwhelmed when it was working, and highly disappointed when it stopped charging. (the bf says it is a wiring issue, which seems sort of hazardous?)

Anyone tried the GiGi?
-
JordanNHave any of you tried this? I've tried a similar one and found it to be a bit uncomfortable. -
Quote: Have any of you tried this? I've tried a similar one and found it to be a bit uncomfortable.actually though i'm working on my review right now- yes for internal stimulation it was a bit uncomfortable unless i rocked it against my pubic bone. I can only take like 4 max 5 inches inserted and though i was initially drooling over the shape on the tip it felt the same as when you're having sex and your cervix gets bruised- except it wasn't against my cervix. its quite hard and has little give to it though the silicone is quite nice. I used it more on my clit and she seemed to enjoy the vibrations(shrug)

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.

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.

Although, whenever I read about female ejaculation the Ella is usually involved.

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!
Oh no! This is on my "to buy" list!! I hate that you didn't like it!!
Try the extended review format. It gives the consumer a little more info.
Yep.... Im totally with hollyhox, we were looking forward to getting this one. Thanks for the review.
Yeah I was also going to buy this toy, not anymore!
Your Gigi might be defective, Lelo has an awesome warranty and they should replace it. The Gigi remains one of my favorite toys and I really use it!
Too bad you had a problem...
Hm...it sounds like your toy must be defective. If I were you I'd try sending it back for a replacement since as the above poster commented, LELO has a 1-year limited warranty where they'll replace your toy if anything goes wrong with it within that time, which it apparently did.
Thanks for the review, though.
Hmm, it's one that's on our want list, thanks for the review.
Thanks for the heads up
I agree with what has been said above. Lelo has a great warranty, even return it to the store you got it from. It sounds like you got a dud!!!
Thanks for the review. It was really helpful!!
Thanks!!
