Zizo - flexible g-spot vibrator discontinued by PicoBong - review by Penguin

This is the second time I've chosen to get a "female" toy because I thought the shape looked good for a massage. I'm right again. Zizo is from PicoBong a division of LELO. It's a long vibrator of average thickness, but long length. It's good for getting a woman's g-spot, but it isn't safe for anal sex since it doesn't have a flared base. Some might still feel comfortable using it since it is long and thinner in the middle. As for my partner and I, we like using this for foreplay and massages. She likes using it by herself too. There are a lot of patterns of vibrations and the power is high. It's a good toy for many. The only thing I can think that people might not like is its stiffness.

The Zizo is made of plastic mostly, but is covered in a silicone shell. I expected it to be soft, but it isn't. It doesn't bend at all and doesn't have give. The silicone is velvety and nonporous. There's no gross smell either. Silicone is a very safe material and won't cause irritation because it doesn't have harmful chemicals in it.

Zizo is a short description is shaped and sized like a banana but the middle is thinner than the sides. The vibrator is almost 8" long. About 6 1/2" of that can be inserted. The rest is where the batteries are. The buttons are actually imbedded in the material and are on the part that can be inserted. If you don't want to insert the buttons at all you have 5 1/2" to work with. That's enough for my partner who likes her toys to be smaller than me. That brings us to thickness. The first part is 4 1/4" around, the middle is 3 1/2", and the last portion of insertable section is 4 1/2". This is thinner than most or my partners most used toys, but we like it because we can use two toys at once (I count as one!) if we want. The toy is designed to be for the g-spot, but it can be used for the clitoris or pretty much any other external area.

This toy is not discreet.

There are three buttons, a -, a +, and an M which stands for mode. The buttons are slightly raised and are located on the left side when the toy is inserted. I think I count ten different levels of vibration. They start low and end at a really good power level. You can hit the M button on any of the levels for the different patterns. The patterns include pulses, faster pulses, roller coasters, and increase power pulses. This toy is very quiet for the power level. The vibration are well distributed too. The toy is also waterproof and is a great toy for the tub or shower. It takes 2 AAA batteries that get inserted in the bottom. We had a little trouble getting the cap back on at first.

The toy can be washed with water and soap. Because it is silicone, use a water based lubricant. It doesn't collect lint and stuff, but it's still recommended that you give it a rinse before each use anyways. Store it pretty much anywhere you want, but take the batteries out first.

The packaging quality probably helps make this toy more affordable than other LELO toys. It fell apart when I took the toy out. I had to rip it to get to the toy. It's just a really thin cardboard box with a thin plastic window pane. A lot of the basic info needed about the toy is on the outside of the package. It comes with a one year guarantee.

My partner is really impressed with this toy. She said she thought the vibrations would be shallow and buzzy because of the toy's firmness, but that isn't the case. the vibrations are top notch. She doesn't have to have this on the highest level to orgasm either. I like using it on her too. The design makes it easy to penetrate her with, so I don't have a fear of hurting her. The firmness also helps this. The curve of the vibrator can wrap around hips, inner thighs, the back or a neck and more. With a little bit of oil it becomes a massage tool too.

There are really only two flaws I noticed with the toy. The first is that there are indented letters on the side of the toy that can be hard to clean. The second is that when we got it I was feeling the velvety surface and noticed that on the inner part of the curve there seems to be an area that got missed with the finish. It has drag and is slightly gummy. I could swear that it has spread slightly with the first few washings. It'll be bad if this continues. The velvety surface makes it possible to use with natural lube, without we wouldn't be able to use it on a whim as well. I'll follow up later.
