Gigi - g-spot vibrator by LELO - review by Taylor

Lelo's Gigi is a sweet little G-spot vibrator that is also a great clit stimulator. It can be used to stimulate the body externally as well, but shouldn't be uses anally. Internally it will work well for those who have a more shallow g-spot and don't need a lot of deep thrusting from their toys. It may catch on some people's pubic bones depending on their anatomy, but for most people it will likely be a very enjoyable toy. It has a bump towards the top of the toy that helps to stroke the G-spot in a similar way to how a finger might and it's design really allows for some pretty deep pressure if that's what you need.

It is great for solo use or with a partner, just make sure you keep it out of the water since it is not waterproof. It's also a great toy for people with room mates because it is very quiet.

The Gigi is made of abs white plastic and silicone and comes in three colors: pink, purple, and turquoise. It appears to be covered in silicone rather than being silicone all of the way through as it is very rigid and does not bend at all. The silicone is very smooth and velvety and does not gather dust and lint as easily as many other silicone toys do. There really is no noticeable texture to speak of.

Since it is silicone it is nonporous and sterilizable which is great because that means you can kill any bacteria that might be on it. It is also important to note that because it is silicone it is important to use water-based lubes, because silicone-based ones can damage your toy.

Gigi was designed for G-spot stimulation. The curve of the toy with the shape of the head works pretty well for this. The toy is 6.5" long with about 4.5" of that being insertable. At this length, it didn't go in quite far enough to be a great g-spot toy for me. I was definitely able to find my g-spot with it, but I just didn't have enough room on the handle to be able to manipulate the toy in a way that would have been effective for me. Having an extra inch or two of length would probably have made this my favorite toy. It is not very large in diameter either. The head is 1 1/8 in diameter at it's widest point and then gets a little bit thinner from there.

I've showed the Gigi next to a few other toys I have so you can get a better idea of it's size. As you can see Gigi is much smaller than her sister Mona. She is about the same size as a pocket rocket. It's a great sized toy for those who might be intimidated by larger toys.



Because it's small and has a great locking mode it is a wonderful toy for traveling. It would be easy to stow away in a purse or bag and you would never have to worry about the embarrassment of having it accidentally turn of when you don't want it to.

The Gigi can seem a little confusing at first, but the controls aren't as difficult as they seem. The control panel looks like a single button with 4 arrows in each direction. Each direction does a different change of setting. the < and > arrows control the speed/intensity of the vibrations, the up and down arrows scroll through the different modes that the toy has. There are 5 settings to choose from:

Steady vibration
slow pulses
medium pulses
fast pulses
Wave vibration - low to high to low repeating

There is also a locking mode which is awesome if you want to travel with your toy. Just hold the left and right arrow buttons for a few seconds an it will be locked to the off setting and won't get turned on in your bag or something if something accidentally pushes a button. To turn this mode back off, simply hold the buttons down again until the control panel light flashes back on.

Gigi has fairly strong vibrations which I think would be adequate for most people, but probably wouldn't be strong enough for those who need a true powerhouse. The vibrations are not too buzzy and they are concentrated in the tip of the vibrator. I liked this because it makes it great for clitoral stimulation.

Gigi is a rechargable toy which is awesome. After a couple hours of charge it will run for more than two hours. It comes with a charger that is compatible with all of Lelo's toys. I personally love this because since I have a few of their toy s I can tuck the other chargers away and just keep one out to charge all of my Lelo's with.

Gigi is very quiet and I think this would be an ideal toy for people who have to use a toy that won't attract a lot of attention from the noise. You would not hear this through a closed door, even without music or anything playing.

The Gigi is pretty easy to care for. To clean you an use antibacterial soap and water as long as you are very careful not to get any water inside the toy or near the charging port or controls. You can also use a toy cleaner or bleach solution to wipe down your Gigi.

It's easy to store because it comes with a convenient little satin bag to keep your toy in as well as a lovely box. I personally found the box a bit big to use for storage, so I keep my Gigi in its bag and tuck it away with my other toys.

Like I said earlier, because the toy is made of silicone, it's not a good idea to use a silicone lube with Gigi. Just a dab of water-based lube will be plenty to have a good time.

Lelo always has awesome packaging. Gigi comes in a classy black box which has a cover over it with a picture of the toy. It would be a great box to use for either storage or gift-giving. Inside the box is a plastic insert with a mold to place the toy in. It also comes with a small satin drawstring bag you can store your Gigi in if you'd rather not store it in the plastic insert. Instructions, a charger, and information on a warranty are all included in the packaging.

I've had Gigi about a year and a half now. I was fairly new to toys at the time and was very nervous about spending so much money on a sex toy, but I'm glad I did. Gigi definitely got me hooked on the higher end toys and I have been buying them ever since. She also helped me find my G-spot and opened me up to a new type on stimulation. I think she is a great toy, but I think I have just outgrown her as I've found toys that work better for me such as Lelo's Mona I just don't find myself using Gigi that often because I wish she was a couple of inches longer so she would work for me a little bit better. I do use my Gigi for clit stimulation occasionally and find that she works great for that.
