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

Life with Gigi is a life less ordinary, for she is sassy and fun, playful and punchy, glorious and generous. She's all you could ever need and enough to keep you busy, yet she melds effortlessly into an ensemble cast - be it with a partner or other toys

Gigi is a vibrator with a small, angled, flat head that is designed to nestle up to the g-spot with ease. This flat head works well as a flat surface massager for any place that likes vibration, and it spreads the vibrations evenly and gracefully. She excels at vibrating the g-spot - provided the g-spot in question isn't tucked away too deeply (Gigi is short) - and she's also exceptional at providing clit massage. Gigi also dances well along male genitals, gliding pleasurably to and fro over well lubed balls and focusing (not too) intensely on a spot when desired.

Gigi's insertable portion is made of firm, suede-smooth silicone that is mated by a band of stainless steel to a handle made of hard ABS plastic. The firmness deserves special note - Gigi is exceptionally firm for a silicone toy (vibrator or not) in a way that is only seen, to my knowledge, in Lelo toys. The Lelo Ella, which is a non-vibrating version of the Gigi (sort of, anyways) is similarly rock-solid-firm. This firmness makes Gigi perfect for g-spot stimulation, and is a good choice for a toy with which to go g-spot hunting, for those just starting out. The hard silicone is finished to a beautiful velvetyness that feels like it melts into your skin when stroked. Needless to say, this feels amazing when rubbed on wet, excited body parts.

The toy has gentle smile of a curve overall - comfortable to
use between ones own legs and someone else's legs. Gigi is light - never wrist fatiguing, despite constant unwavering power. Gigi's flat ended surface, which is as large as a loonie in diameter, is actually slightly oval and rather disc like. No sharp edges is of course a nice feature, but the whole surface is great for grinding onto or into (whatever your fancy) because it only really applies pressure on the spot targeted - the surrounding real estate is vibrated for fun and effect.

The control panel for the Gigi sits on the base. It features buttons in four directions - up and down control pattern and left and right control intensity. The buttons can be locked for ease in traveling by holding the button pad down for a few seconds till it flashes light once. Repeat to unlock.

This basic design, while adequate, is slightly limiting if you like to change patterns and intensity in the heat of playing with the Gigi (its to easy to hit the wrong button!) The patterns themselves are interesting but basic - throbbing, escalating and the like. While it is nice to have the options, I prefer flat vibration.

Gigi lasts forever and ever and ever and ever on a single charge. Gigi does not lose charge by sitting around so she is always ready to go when you are. Power wise, Gigi is a powerhouse amongst rechargeable vibes, and noise wise, she's muted through a closed door.

Gigi should be washed well with soap and water after use, taking care to avoid getting water in or around the charging hole. Toy cleaner can also be used. Gigi doesn't tend to attract lint, and lives in a satin pouch, so shouldn't need cleaning before use (although it's always a good idea to do a rinse). Gigi can be sanitized by soaking the silicone end in a 10% bleach solution for 10 minutes.

Gigi comes in an attractive black box, suitable for storage of a few toys. Gigi also comes with a white satin case, which she slips into ever so nicely.

This is actually my second Gigi - I loved my first one to death. Literally. I've never done that with a toy. I have plenty of other toys, but I needed a Gigi in my life so I bought a new one in this very attractive blue color, and I really can't rave about it enough. On me, it targets my g-spot with amazing ease and accuracy, and it can get me to squirting in seconds. Coupled with the fact that it's my favorite (non-plug in) clit massager, Gigi is the vibrator I take traveling with me, and the one that is always at my bedside. Other vibrators come and go, but not Gigi - she is a timeless classic.
