Gigi sex toy review
G-spot vibrator by LELO

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.

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.

Sounds awesome Ess! I'm surprised Lelo was so careless about the handle though... very un-Lelo of them.
I've been coveting the Gigi...now, even more so.
Well, well well...still the handle is Very important...slipping at the worst moments...this sounds as "no go" for me. Anyone has something to say about Liv or Elise ?
UPDATE: We've found that if you use it during the daylight or with the lights on, you can see better to position your hand for better grabbage. We've also discovered lube on then handle = slippage like woah-ha! Just thought I'd share :)
There's supposed to be a function where if you hold the button in the middle down for five seconds it locks the setting in place.
I bought this toy after reading this review... and I LOVE IT! It's so awesome. I didn't have any problems with the controls though, maybe because I was more careful based on what you said. Anyway, it's really good for the clit too! I sort of prefer it this way...the large flat head (and handle too) is what makes this so much easier than a a bullet use for the clit stim. But it rocks for G-Spot too (but that's pretty much implied, I guess).
i have owned the gigi for a few months now, and can attest to its effing awesomeness! i havent experienced control slippage yet. and yes you can stabilize the program for "no service interruption". i recommend this lovely gem to anyone.
i bought this toy for my girlfriend yesterday and she said it's so painful when she put this toy into her cunt due to the shape of it's tip. According to my girlfriend's reaction, i think this toy is good for external massaging for the clitoris and labia. On the other hand, this toy is " not " appropriate for the interpositional delight.
My girlfriend hate to use this toy due to it's pain. She is a Asian, so i guess the shape of the toy is damaging her "tight" cunt. I spent $167.99 Canadian for this useless lubber stick, and im really regret about it.
It certainly is good for the clit too...but I have a relatively small cunt, and I've been just fine with it. I'd suggest using more lube, and maybe that'll help? Just not silicone! Hope that helps somewhat...
Geez...every time I read one of your reviews, my wish list grows by another item! After falling in love with the "Ooooo! That's It!" g-spot gel, I'm definitely wanting to try this one out!
Hmm...I still don't know how I feel about G-spot gel, but this is definitely an amazing vibe!
Wow, "the most expensive sex toy of any kind that I'd ever set my hands upon"? XD Must have been before our Goldfrau (thank you, google). How's the Gigi holding up for you in her 'old age', power wise? Is it still holding up? Keeping charge? Fully charging?
I have no problems w/controles,not enough power though.
Way too expensive. Bummer! Doesn't even work for a clitoral orgasm.
I hadn't had the Goldfrau yet, so you're right!
But she's holding up well...great for travel, esp. to sex parties, as it's small, has a little satin bag, and isn't loud.
Disappointed - that's odd. Mine has a TON of power (not as much as the Hitachi, but close), as I like weapons grade sex toys. Is yours charged all the way?
Thank you for responding, Essin' Em. I own another (fantastic) Lelo vibe, and was wondering about the recharge life of the things. I can only hope it lasts longer than my cellphones do. *laugh*
So far, so good on mine :) Good luck with yours!
I ordered the gigi online and just got it yesterday
I'm not sexually inexperienced and I don't consider myself to be SUPER tight, but I found it almost impossible to get this thing in, due to its huge head.
Once I did manage to (painfully) shove it in there, all i wanted to do was take it out... I really am wishing I got the liv instead, because of its narrower head. I'll give it another try though.
