Liv - sex toy by LELO - review by Madeira

This is a nice vibe for g-spot stimulation, and for clitoral, both partner and solo, its pretty design, variable intensity and vibration pattern make it a non-threatening toy for lovers. It feels great turned down low for a nice tease or up high for the big O. However it's better for use with a non-distracted partner because of one fatal flaw in the design that I'll get to later.

It's wonderful on the clit, wonderful internally, and adaptable for a lot of different anatomies. I find the vibrations intense enough combine with thrusting to really get me there for a g-spot O, and clitorally it's "oh my god, good" to quote my girlfriend.

This vibe is silicone along the insertable portion with a band of some type of metal and tend hard plastic. It's very smooth, seamless, and a lovely feeling very silky toy. It's tasteless (yes, I do lick my vibrators to check), scentless, and pleasing to look at. The shape is wonderfully adaptable for reaching the g-spot on almost all anatomies, and the smooth texture and slim body won't irritate even after hours and hours of play.

It's a relatively small size, and slim, and the curve is nice for getting to a lot of women's g-spots, however I personally need a toy that's shaped essentially like an allen wrench to hit my g-spot so I have to tilt the toy a fairly extreme angle to hit the spot (which is fine, Liv is a maneuverable little gal) and the buttons make it easy to change speed or intensity... sometimes a little too easy. As I mentioned earlier this toy is best used with a partner who can focus on using it because the location of the buttons (in the handle, right where you grip) it's incredibly easy to be oooooh, so close and then accidentally turn down the vibrations or change the setting which can be... quite frustrating.

It's a beautiful toy, clean lines, and elegant modernist design, and there's a power level and vibration pattern to suit every preference, it'd be perfect were it not for the placement of the button pad (I really wish vibes had a little "Lock" switch like on the old school iPods)

This is not a big toy and will not give you a very "filled" sensation, so it's great for beginners, but even if you're an advanced toy user this little gal still packs a wallop with vibration and is a great toy for starting out a play session.

The vibrations are primarily in the length of the toy, and both my girlfriend and I preferred the constant vibration setting. It has an excellent battery life, and the controls are very easy to figure out and use, however their location means it's very *very* easy to accidentally trigger the controls which can be a problem when one is on the verge of orgasm and accidentally turns the intensity down.

The charger is well thought out and designed, it's a sturdy highly functional toy that I deeply enjoy and is worth it in spite of the minor flaw, it's also very quiet which is quite nice. I've found as well that it charges very quickly and holds a charge for a very long time. It has five vibration patterns and a sort of "sliding scale" of speeds, all of the vibration patterns are fun, but personally for me to get there I need constant stimulation (the first setting) and if you keep it there, constant stimulation is what you'll get.

The silicone is very easy to clean, just give it a good wipe down with antibacterial toy cleaner, however the handle is a little more difficult, but I don't see how you'd manage to get that dirty in the first place.

It comes in a sturdy, beautiful cardboard box, that fits everything together very nicely, however the box is not supremely travel friendly as it's bulky, and tends to come open when in a bag, however for home use the packaging is lovely, discreet and well made.

My girlfriend and I love this vibe for couples play, its variety of intensities and vibration modes, its silky silicone material, its being oh so startlingly quiet for being so powerful and its versatility in the face of varied anatomy give it a very special place in our hearts.
