The golden girl of G-spot vibrators
This toy is totally unique -- it provides a different sensation than any other g-spot toy I have tried, and I mean that in a very good way. It's also great for clit stimulation. It is definitely worth getting -- it exceeded my highest hopes!Published: January 9, 2009
Pros:
Beautiful to look at and hold; very powerful motor; creates amazing g-spot orgasms.
Cons:
High-pitched whine when you first turn the toy on; slightly awkward charging port.
I have been eying the Gigi for over a year now, and finally decided to buy it. I am so happy to say that it exceeded my expectations!
I should mention that I own another toy by Lelo, the Elise, and I've been happy with that vibrator. However, the Elise was a bit too large to be comfortable for penetration all the time. The Gigi's more petite size is part of what attracted me to her. Also, I admit that I was struck by the consistency of the [http://www.edenfantasys.com/sex-toy-reviews/vibrators/gigi|reviews for Gigi - I have never seen a sex toy get such unanimously positive reviews! I wanted to see if it lived up to all its accolades.
I also already own another toy that I can use for g-spot stimulation - the Pure Wand by N-joy. I think the Pure Wand is worth ten times its price; it is amazing. As I got ready to try the Gigi, a part of me wondered whether it would be good enough to compete with the Pure Wand in the G-spot stimulation department.
The Gigi was, of course, packaged beautifully. Its size makes it perfect for holding in my hand, and its curves just seem sexy to me. It comes fully charged, which is such a nice touch on the part of Lelo. I love not having to wait 12 hours to try out a new toy!
The shape of the little g-spot tip makes the Gigi an effective clit stimulator. The five modes are a nice combination of faster pulsations, slower pulsations, and some "up-and-down" kind of stuff. I should also mention that I like my vibrators to be powerful (I was a devotee of the Wahl Coil and Hitachi Wand, and am now an Eroscillator enthusiast), and I found the Gigi packed plenty of punch for me.
After warming up, I used some lube (non-silicone lube, because the Gigi is made of silicone and I want this toy to last!) to make sure that the Gigi wouldn't rub me the wrong way when I put it inside me. I had nothing to worry about, though -- the Gigi felt great as I pushed it inside me. Its size made it very comfortable. I did not have the "too full, stretching my vagina a little bit" feeling that I get with the Elise sometimes.
And the way the Gigi felt was amazing. The shape of the tip and the effect of having pulsations concentrated on my G-spot like that was unlike anything I've felt with any other toy. I settled on one of the pulsating rhythms, and the steady throbbing soon made me orgasm. It was awesome.
While I still love my Pure Wand, I think the Gigi will earn a place among my personal favorite toys. While toys like the Pure Wand work really well for putting steady pressure on the G-spot, the Gigi offers a different experience because of the strong vibrations that are all concentrated in that special tip.
Because I am a clean freak, I like being able to boil my toys. However, I don't think boiling would be a good idea for the Gigi, because it is not fully waterproof, and I would be afraid of damaging its motor. However, because it is medical-grade silicone, which is supposed to be incapable of harboring bacteria, I feel okay about just cleaning it with warm water. The booklet that accompanies the Gigi suggests cleaning it with warm water and antibacterial soap, so you could do that too (I personally don't use soap on my toys due to my vagina's sensitivity to soap). The little booklet also recommends drying the toy with a lint-free cloth, which is a great idea. I use one of those microfiber cloths that are sold for cleaning mirrors (I set aside this particular cloth especially for my sex toys), and it works very well. The booklet also reminded me to keep my toy in a "dust-free place" (for example, in its cute little box), which is a good idea, because silicone often attracts dust.
As others have mentioned, this toy does emit a slight high-pitched whine when I first turn it on, but I think either the whine goes away soon or I just become too distracted to notice it, because it didn't seem like a big deal to me at all. I also found the covering for the charging port to be a little difficult to get out, and thought that part could have been made slightly better. Those are my only minor quibbles, and they are decidedly minor. Overall, this toy gets five enthusiastic stars from me. Because of its petite size and user-friendly shape, it is a better toy for me than the Elise was.

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.
- Dr. Manhattan -
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.

Thank you for viewing Gigi – g-spot vibrator review page!



Great review. How was cleaning? Did you recharge it after each use? Thanks!
Better than the Elise? No wai!
I'm thinking maybe I should try the Gigi to see if your theory is correct.
Glad you liked the Gigi, I was so impressed and satisfied when I bought it. Liked your review. I have found that rechargeable vibes do have a whine" but I hardly notice it. Try the Pure Wand and the Gigi during the same session...Wow!!
It's such a nice color, a purple royal. Nice review!
You're right about unanimously positive reviews. Glad you enjoyed this. Every time I read a review, I want it a bit more.
Like Adriana - each time I read another review I just salivate over it all the more. Sigh one day it will be mine!
I guess money does matter!
In the pink: You definitely don't have to recharge it after each use. Lelo says that a 2-hour charge will provide up to 1.5 hours of power. So one charge could last you anywhere from three half-hour sessions or fifteen eight-minute sessions.
For cleaning, I just wash the silicone part with warm water before and after each use, and dry it with a lint-free cloth (I use one of those microfiber cloths intended for dusting mirrors). The little booklet that comes with the toy recommends cleaning with warm water and antibacterial soap, but I avoid soap because of a personal fear of yeast infections. Also, the booklet suggests that you keep it in a dust-free place (for example, in its cute little box), because silicone can easily attract dust.
I'm actually working on a review for my blog right now that is not absolutely glowing for the Gigi. mostly because I have the Ella and think it does the trick, but better. Gasp!
The more reviews I read, the more I remember this isn't waterproof.
Would it kill them to make a waterproof model?
