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

LELO’s Gigi|G-spot vibrators: Gigi by LELO is a vibrator that deserves to be coveted. And in fact I did covet it – I gazed upon its purple silicone shaft and white plastic handle, and waited very impatiently for it to arrive. My anticipation built when it was temporarily delayed, and when it finally arrived, I couldn’t contain my grin as I carried it home from the mail center.

Even opening the box seemed to be an event: the Gigi comes wrapped in a tasteful purple cardboard box calling it a “pleasure object,” and inside of that box is the real treat: the Gigi is further contained in a black gift box, nestled in a molded plastic shell to keep it safe. Contained within this little box are the Gigi, its charger, the manual and warranty notice, and a small satin pouch for more portable storage.

I immediately set up the Gigi to charge, as the manual instructed. The manual and warranty (one year!) are both written in English, German, French, Spanish and Japanese. I waited impatiently to try out my new toy (excuse me, my new pleasure object!), and when the little white ring glowed steadily to indicate readiness, I unplugged it and started to play. I quickly discovered that the Gigi is surprisingly powerful and diverse, for such a seemingly small vibrator. There are five functions and ten speeds for each function, allowing me to choose the perfect intensity. The Gigi is also quiet, and can barely be heard under the covers even at high speeds.

With a little water-based lubricant, I was ready to go. I began first with my clitoris – I cycled through all five of the functions and all ten speeds before deciding on the strongest straight vibration setting. I teased myself; I played until I absolutely needed to feel the Gigi inside of me. I slid it inside and set it on pulsate – I’ve never felt anything like that before! The Gigi is engineered perfectly to hit the G-spot, and I found myself letting out noises that I’d never heard coming from my mouth. My orgasm, when it hit, was simply incredible.

Incredible as it was, however, even the Gigi has a few downsides. To start, this vibrator has an irritating habit of turning off at rather inopportune moments – like right as I was about to come. At the lower speeds, regardless of function, the Gigi tends to emit an irritatingly high-pitched whine; this becomes a problem mostly with the fifth function, “before and after,” which cycles up and down in intensity. Lastly, I wish that the satin pouch was higher in quality, and padded. Bits of the inside seams tend to fray onto the Gigi, and the pouch offers little protection from the elements.

Despite these minor negatives, I really have to give the Gigi five stars. This vibrator is classy, well made, powerful, quiet, comes with a one year warranty, and the shaft is 100% medical grade silicone – which has a slight “hospital” smell. The Gigi charges quickly, there’s no need to rush out for batteries, and it feels so very good on the clitoris and G-spot both. It can also be locked while traveling, to avoid embarrassing vibrations in the middle of a busy airport.
