My number one
To sum this toy up, I'd say its the best sex toy purchase that I have ever made. I have used it almost daily for three years and it's still going strong, and of course if anything did ever happen to it I would be quick to replace it.Published: November 9, 2011
Pros:
high quality, rechargable, reliable
Cons:
Gives very short notice when about to lose power
I remember the day I got this toy. It was over three years ago ,and even back then I had a lot of toys under my belt .I had high expectations of this toy, mainly because of the price, but also because I had read good reviews for it, and I hoped that people hadn't lead me wrong. I should never have worried.
From the first time I took it out of its box, I could see and feel the quality that I now know comes with every Lelo product. It came well presented in a seed-free black box. The feel of its silicone was velvety soft. I knew I was falling for this toy bad.
After leaving it on charge for what felt like forever (just for the first charge, it now charges within an hour every time), I was ready to see what Gigi could do, and it didn't disappoint! I found myself impressed with its multiple vibration speeds and pulse modes(all much quieter than most toys I had tried before).
Three years on my love affair with Gigi is still going strong. Yes, I have dozens of other toys to choose from, but when I want reliable strong vibrations that will get the job done without any of the hassle with batteries, or fear of diminishing power at that all important moment, this is the toy I reach for.
The one flaw I have found with the Gigi is that, because it keeps good power up until the moment it completely loses charge, there is no indication of how close it is to losing charge until one second before it stops when a red light on its controls flashes. It would be be nice if the Gigi could show that red flash earlier, giving you more notice of whats to come. I had my own solution to this problem, I bought Gigi a sister ,the Lelo Mona, which I keep on standby to take over in such emergencies.

Follow-up commentary
2 months after original review
With its quality build, great design and pulsating/escalating functions, the Gigi is still very much at the top of my list of sex toy favorites.
Time to add a few important details I failed to add in my original review:
The measurements of the Gigi are as follows:
Total length:
6 1/2"
Insertable length:
4 1/2"
Circumference:
3 1/2"
Diameter:
1 1/8
Function:
It is controlled by four buttons on its built in control pad: Up, Down, Plus and Minus. The plus and Minus buttons controlling speed of vibration and the up and Down arrow buttons controlling function.
A full charge of the Gigi takes two hours which in my experience lasts for an equal amount of play time.
Material and care:
Made of Hypo-allergenic, Latex free, Non-porous and Phthalates free silicone material (and the handle being made of ABS plastic) Gigi is skin safe and easily cleaned with warm water and a mild soap.
It is safe to use with water-based lubricants and I always find that I need a drop of lube with it as it has that 'drag' that you get with silicone toys. Never use a silicone based lubricant with a silicone toy such as the Gigi!
I estimate that my Gigi must be coming up to its fourth birthday soon and it is still both looking and functioning as well as the day I got it.

Anyone tried the GiGi?
-
Cat EnderlyHave any of you tried this? I've tried a similar one and found it to be a bit uncomfortable. -
Quote: Have any of you tried this? I've tried a similar one and found it to be a bit uncomfortable.actually though i'm working on my review right now- yes for internal stimulation it was a bit uncomfortable unless i rocked it against my pubic bone. I can only take like 4 max 5 inches inserted and though i was initially drooling over the shape on the tip it felt the same as when you're having sex and your cervix gets bruised- except it wasn't against my cervix. its quite hard and has little give to it though the silicone is quite nice. I used it more on my clit and she seemed to enjoy the vibrations(shrug)

How easy is the Gigi- G Spot Vibrators to use during sex?
-
I think it's more of a solo toy. You should look at the We vibes.

Quote: How easy is the Gigi- G Spot Vibrators to use during sex?I think it works pretty well for this purpose. I use it simultaneously with a dildo all the time. Is it the best for this purpose? I would say you'd be better off using a smaller vibrator such as the Lelo Siri which is another personal favorite of mine during piv sex. Although it is pretty easy to use the Gigi. Works in all positions where your body isn't completely pressed against a surface or your partner's body. You'll need to give a little space in between you and your partner to fit the toy but it still works really well.

Lelo Gigi - Using a Condom or Not
-
I have recently bought the Gigi vibrator from LELO.
For my first use, I used a condom to cover the Gigi (the brand I used is Lifestyles Studded). After removing the condom, I noticed that the lubricant, from the inside the condom, left a kind of oily residue on the Gigi. I tried to use my toy cleaner to remove it, but I am slightly worried
I am worried that the lubricant from this condom is not water-based. Now, I have a few questions that I was unable to research answers to.
1) Was the condom I used water-based?
2) Have I ruined my new Gigi?
3) Is it best to use a condom on the Gigi or not?
Any advice/help will be much appreciated.

From what I can find via Google, it looks like the lubricant in that condom isn't a silicone lubricant so it should be okay.
Lubricant Ingredients: Glycerine, Propylene Glycol, Polysorbate 20, Phenonip, Carbomer
I don't think you're ruined anything. If you're concerned you might want to try to find a different type of condom that leaves less residue. I have no suggestions because almost all condoms irritate me and since I'm fluid bonded with my partner we don't use them. -

Will using soap and water be bad for the Gigi? At least just for the silicone part of the vibrator?

is jt worth it

Is the product worth the price ????
-
I'm pretty sure we answered a similar set of questions about the pros and cons of expensive vibrators.
-
Quote: Is the product worth the price ????Absolutely!! I bought mine a couple years ago after (literally) melting my previous one. Between the cost of having to replace my vibrators and the batteries constantly, I went for it and have no regrets!! Gigi is a regular part of our sex life! However, I use it only for cliteral stimulation (which works for me) so I can't speak if you are interested in G-spot usage.
The one drawback is I've found that I tend to hit the speed controls during use. Otherwise, the warranty is great (though i've never had one problem with it), it's easy to keep clean and store, and I LOVE that it's rechargable.
Enjoy!

I'd like to try a g-spot vib, but i dont know if this should be the one to buy...Any comments?
-
Quote: I'd like to try a g-spot vib, but i dont know if this should be the one to buy...Any comments?I highly recommend the Gigi for G-spot play. It's firm enough to stimulate it with the amount of pressure needed, but velvety enough to not be too much. Additionally the vibration settings I found to be ideal for pressing against my G-spot. Just have a towel ready!

Quote: I'd like to try a g-spot vib, but i dont know if this should be the one to buy...Any comments?I would recommend the Gigi for g-spot play. I will point out though that if you have a g-spot that is on the further side in terms of depth in the vagina, or if like me your vaginal canal has a sharp curve to it then you should look for a toy that is longer than the Gigi. I love the Gigi as a clitoral vibrator but based on my anatomy it didn't do much for me as a g-spot stimulator. Take your anatomy into consideration before you buy a toy for g-spot play. If you are like me and think you'll need a more lengthy toy try the G-Spot Pink glass stimulator. I'm currently working on a review for that toy and it is a personal favorite of mine.

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! -

The 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....

My 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?
-
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.

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.
