Love to Liv!
All in all, definitely a great little toy from Lelo and I'd get another again in a second if anything happened to her.Published: October 17, 2011
Pros:
Rechargable, beautiful color, quiet w/good vrooms, silky smooth, safe & high quality.
Cons:
Easy to change settings on accident during use. Not waterproof. Can't be used while charging.
This is my favorite vibe that I own so far, and my first Lelo toy. First off, the packaging is of very high quality. Makes a very attractive presentation as a gift.
What I most love about this vibe has to be the colors! I was tempted by the navy, but in the end I got my favorite, the green. It is a bright lime that is just the tinest bit translucent and so gorgeous!
I also love that she's softer than a whisper..barely two bees on the high settings. She's the quietest vibe I've ever owned. The vibrations are deep and rumbly and feel soooo good, wherever you want to put her. I love how the Liv fits perfectly in my hand with my index finger along her spine, and her curves fit around my neck for the most wonderful neck massages! My other vibrators seem more of a tingly to me since I've tried the Liv. They've been downgraded to teasers now. :)
She is also rechargable which is great for the environment easy on the pocketbook, since you're not replacing batteries all the time. The initial investment may be higher than for most vibrators, but I believe she will last many years with proper use and care. She comes with a 10 year warranty for which you can get a deep discount on another one if she breaks any time in the next 10 years.. you can't beat that!
She is very safe and easy to take care of as well. She's made out of silky soft silicone (so remember, water-based lubes for her only!) and overall material safety level is a 10.
I just clean her with a toy wipe or a little antibacterial soap and water, dry with a lint free cloth, pop her in the pristine white silk bag she came with and she's good to go, pretty much anywhere I do.

Experience
Used clitorally, there have been times when I felt the highest setting wasn't quite enough and I would have been happier if she had one setting higher. I've since found that using a water-based tingling lube fixes that, as then the highest setting is almost too strong!
My only other problem I've had with her has been that since I like to use her with the vibration steady on, I've found it's a little too easy to accidentally bump the pattern to pulse during use. It will take me some doing to learn how to hold my thumb so that doesn't happen anymore. It's not a deal breaker by any means, just something worth mentioning as it can be a little annoying.

Follow-up commentary

I still like it. It seems like it may have gotten a bit louder with age, but it's still pretty quiet. It's still my favorite toy.

Liv settings

I have the Liv and find all the interval settings to just be annoying! I use it strictly on the regular constant vibration setting. What's your favorite Liv setting?

Roller coaster is a really nice pattern

Toy Colors

Looking at the new Lime Green color of LELO's Liv, I'm very close to buying it, just because it's such a kick ass color. Anybody else have a soft spot for nicely colored toys?
Gigi will be my next purchase, and I think the dusty rose actually looks really pretty, but now there's bright blue...lol, I'm torn. -
Blue, green, and orange are my favorites. I prefer the "non-natural" coloring :-). Even if it's shaped like a real penis, it should be day-glo purple or somesuch :-)
-
I'm that way too. I like non-natural colors for toys. That is a kick ass color, that green. The pink Gigi does look pretty, but I also like how bright the turquoise is too! My next big buy will probably be a Gigi too, it just sounds so amazing. :)

The Liv or the Gigi. Both by Lelo
-
I've been hearing a lot lately about the Gigi. I haven't paid much attention because I absolutely love my Liv. I flipped back and saw that they are the same price, same company and only slightly different design. Does anyone actually have both? The Liv has been my all time favorite vibrator for a long time.

I actually have the Liv (though I haven't written up a review yet), the Iris, and the Elise. Honestly, and I hate to say it, but the Liv is probably my least favorite of the bunch. It's still an excellent vibe, but it's missing the delicious texturing of the Iris and the g-spot magic of the Gigi. If you like Lelo's products, I'd say the Gigi is definitely worth checking out!

Thank you for viewing Liv – sex toy review page!
I love the personal references, you have a good writing style. We do need some more details about size, storage and lube compatability, though. Keep up the good work.
js is right, im glad you have a new favorite.

Good review. Thanks for sharing/
Great review! Thanks!! = )
Looks like an amazing toy
How long does the Liv take to charge and how long does it hold a charge before needing to be recharged? When it loses it's charge is there any way to tell or does it just stop working? Thanks for sharing this review!
