Gigi - g-spot vibrator discontinued by LELO - review by ToyGeek

Gigi does amazing things for the g-spot, and also performs admirably as a clit vibrator. It's small and non-threatening even for beginners, and does it's job so amazingly well that even those with large collections need to order one immediately.

Medical grade silicone and hard plastic combine to create a silky texture against the skin, without an odor that I can detect.

Gigi is designed to lead the user straight to the g-spot, and it's the perfect size and shape to do its job. It comes with a satin bag for easy storage, and if someone comes across it, you could claim it's a travel-sized shoulder massager. Hopefully they'd choose to believe you.

The Lelo Gigi is a true luxury pleasure object, and a little Googling will produce all sorts of positive reviews, many of them calling it the best sex toy on the market. This is another positive review, because those praises are well deserved.

It arrives in a gift box worthy of really nice jewelry, which makes it really hard to throw away, and it comes with a little satin separator bag and its recharger. Yes, it recharges. No batteries for this toy.

The controls aren't all that hard to figure out if you just fiddle with it, but reading the directions might be a nice way to fill the time while the toy charges up. Or you could attempt to ignore the slowly charging object across the room. The one problem I have with rechargeables is that I'm afraid to leave the room while they're charging, and they take hours. Okay, they take a couple of hours, which isn't bad, but it feels endless if you're trapped in a room with them. I finally solved this problem by drilling a hole in my nightstand, and passing the cords through it when necessary. I'm still not happy that the toys aren't in their securely hidden box while this charging is happening, but at least they aren't out in plain sight, blinking.

That's the Gigi's big flaw to an uptight geek girl. It blinks. Really really brightly. You have no idea. However, once it's all charged up and doing its job, you'll forgive it anything, because it is an amazing sensation. Or, more specifically, five amazing sensations.

It's pretty small, so it inserts easily enough. The shape practically leads you straight to the g-spot, and the things it can do once it's there . . . wow. I liked the thumping. Or that thrumming thing it does, which feels heavenly. It was the thumping that got me, though, and I had my very first orgasm that didn't involve any clitoral stimulation, at least in the few minutes leading up to it. It's not a myth, girls! The sexperts know their stuff.

I should point out that it was the third use that inspired that response, the first two felt amazing but didn't quite get me there, or I lost patience and was just too turned on to resist trying the toy on my clit. Either way, it's a fine clit vibrator (not perfect, but quite serviceable in that way) and it's amazing when used as it is intended.

As for the sound test -- it absolutely passed. It's extremely quiet even at arm's length. Nobody will hear this through a door, even without the stereo playing.

As for recommending this toy, I absolutely do, even with the hefty price tag. It's incredible, and it makes me want to find out if the other toys from Lelo are anywhere near as good. They must be, if they do that thrumming thing. Wow.

Since this toy is made of silicone, it should not under any circumstances be used with silicone based lube. The chemicals in the silicone lube that keep the lube in a liquid state could turn the toy to a liquid state as well. Clearly that is bad.

Clean it with toy cleaner, and store it in its satin bag to keep it from meeting other silicone toys. It can be sterilized with a ten percent bleach solution if you're eager to share it with someone, but I for one am too uptight to have a friendship quite that close.

It arrives in a black gift box worthy of really nice jewelry, which makes it really hard to throw away, and it comes with a little satin separator bag and its recharger, as well as instructions and warranty information. The outer box is discreet enough to recycle if you turn it inside out before tucking it in among the pizza boxes. It says "pleasure object" on it, but it could be a shoulder massager to the casual glance.
