Gigi sex toy review
Published: August 13, 2007
extremely useful review
It's an amazing toy, and it really does take female bodies and anatomy into account. When they say "meant for the g-spot", they mean it. I have never felt anything like this in my entire life!
I was so unbelievably excited about the Gigi g-spot vibrator by Lelo. First of all, it was the most expensive sex toy of any kind that I'd ever set my hands upon. Secondly, Gigi was rechargeable - kudos to Lelo for being environmentally friendly! Plus, it was purple (ok, so it comes in pink too, but at least you have an OPTION) and white, and just looked cool and modern. I simply wanted it. I was waiting on pins and needles until I got to try this toy out!
Finally, it arrived, and let me say, the packaging is exquisite. It comes in a travel box that holds the charger and the toy, but for little forays they provide a satin travel bag. Talk about snazzy! I plugged my Gigi in to charge, eager to try it, but determined to wait for my partner to bust out the big guns. Once the light (oh yes, it has a light) showed that it was charged, it was off to my partner's to give this toy a run for its money.
Ok. So there are some REALLY big positives about the toy, and a few negatives. For the sake of keeping your attention, I'm going with the pluses before the minuses. It feels lovely - just holding it in your hands, the silicone feels almost like velvet. I have no qualms with putting velvet in my cunt...in fact, I support it. A lot. The toy looks classy, and I would be ok showing it to anyone, even my family, that's how nice it is. I showed it to my partner, and after some warm up we experimented turning it on and off, upping the vibration, changing the programs, and so on. We were ready. I sat back, and let my partner and the Gigi work their magic.
So, according to the product description, it's meant to act as any of the g-spot vibrators. When they say "meant for the g-spot", they mean it. I have never felt anything like this in my entire life! As my partner can attest, both times we used Gigi vibrator in a penetrative way; I was making sounds I had never made before. Orgasms blurred together into several minutes of hip thrusting, moaning and screaming, and just general orgasmic bliss.
I then tried using it as one of clitoral stimulators with my partner penetrating me, and by golly, that was amazing too. As far as types of vibration, Gigi delivered. It was the gift that kept on giving. I was having the time of my life...all in the name of testing it out for this review, of course.
Enough of the good bits. Nothing is perfect, and this toy wasn't either. The biggest issue both my partner and I had was the handle. It's dainty and classic and all that, but poorly designed. Regardless of who is using it and from what angle, someone's fingers are going to be on the buttons, and let me tell you, there is nothing more frustrating when on the precipice of an orgasm than going from VROOOOOOOOM to vroom, or a solid buzzing to vroom, pause, vroom, pause, vroom. While all the programs and levels were great, both my partner and I kept hitting the buttons and accidentally changing them at the worst moments. That was incredibly frustrating, as it took forever to keep pausing, removing it, putting it back on the setting I wanted, and then going at it again. The handle is also smooth, and does not have a good grip, making it harder to use in a speedy and aggressive manner (which, if you try this toy, is exactly how you'll want it as you sail off into the sea of climax) with out it slipping, or changing the settings.
The Gigi g-spot vibrator by Lelo is an amazing sex toy, and it really does take female bodies and anatomy into account. I had high expectations because of the hype and the price, and most were met. However, the accidental button pressing was really annoying, as was the handle slippage. I'd be more inclined to use it with a partner (having someone fuck me with this opened new doors into the world of my G-spot), but it also was great alone, both internally and clitorally. If you're looking for a top of the line vibe, and don't mind a little trial and error with the buttons and the handle, then I'd highly recommend it.

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! -
EffinSaraQuote: So uh, my gf lives across the pond in England and I wanted to get a little something to bring her next I go visit.They're good for 100-240V. I charged mine while living abroad just fine.

SammiThe 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....

GothMy 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?

DreamyLoveMy 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.

It doesn't vibrate, but you may want to check it out. -
Backseat BoohooQuote: My Gigi is on its way, so I'm not much help there... Although, whenever I read about female ejaculation the Ella is usually involved.Miss KissThis totally beat me to the punch! 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.
