Gigi - g-spot vibrator by LELO - review by Blessed Union

When researching our first g-spot vibe, a few things were must haves:
1. Phthalates free
2. Excellent design and function
3. Lots of positive reviews

The Gigi excels at all of these things, but for reasons we'll discuss, we think it's just not for us.

Let's start with the POSITIVES:
The pictures online really don't do this toy justice; you have to physically handle this beautiful toy to understand it's quality. It's silicone is so soft and feels as if you were running your fingers over the most luxurious velvet you've ever experienced. Every feature is well thought-out. The Gigi is also presented in a box that is as artfully designed as the toy itself, which may sound silly, but it just reinforces the quality of this wonderful masterpiece.

Secondly, the vibration controls are well laid out. A simple up and down arrow to select your function, and a +/- toggle to select your speed. There are a couple negatives about the control that we'll mention later.

Thirdly - LOVE the travel function!! I don't know about you, but something about carting a wheeled, vibrating mass of suitcase onto an airplane just makes for more questions than we're prepared to answer that inquisitive stranger seated next to us.

Lastly, the charger is very modern and simple to use. The light surrounding the control lets you know when it's charged, and then you can store it discreetly in your area of choice. You can even leave it in the drawer to charge where it looks like nothing more than a cell-phone hooked up to the wall socket.

NEGATIVES:
The Gigi is too rigid for comfortable insertion in our opinion. We understand that the toy is designed like this for a specific purpose, but for us it just wasn't comfortable. This is the main reason that we gave the toy 3-stars. Keep in mind that this is just personal experience from a skinny woman!! Different body frames may be more accommodating to Gigi's features.

Secondly, the controls are somewhat small, and VERY slippery when wet. It's tough to select your vibration speed and pattern when the shaft wants to jump out of your hand!

The only other possible negative would be the price, but this thing is built so well that we have a hard time faulting it for that.

We should also mention that we originally thought there would be cleanliness issues with the chrome-colored collar that separates the silicone shaft of the toy from the smooth plastic handle. The edges of the collar seem like they would collect bacteria around and underneath them, but this has not proven to be a problem. We clean the toy with antibacterial soap and water after each use.

Wife: The biggest negative for me was Gigi's rigidity. I am pretty small and somewhat tight. Getting the Gigi inserted was no problem, but if I moved it in a slightly wrong way, I would feel the ridge of the toy bump up against my pelvic bone, which was not comfortable. This is obviously my own fault, and not the toy's, but i just couldn't get comfortable with it.

Dame Demi is right when she states in her review that this is definitely not a thrusting toy. That may have been where things went wrong in my experience. After a few hard contacts with Gigi's unforgiving structure, internal use was not as appealing. I feel bad because that is supposed to be the highlight of this toy, and I'm probably missing out! Anyway, it does wonders for clitoral stimulation and my husband like it when I use it on his balls which makes it fun.

If I position it just right, I can feel a vibration from the shaft of his cock, which also makes for a good time! I realize that I'm not that experienced with toys yet, and maybe that was the downfall of this one for me. I will try to update my review if things change, but for now I'll just keep the Gigi on the outside.

Husband: I thought the quality of this toy was unsurpassed by anything I have seen. I wish my wife could enjoy the benefits that it was designed to give, but for now, she hasn't been able to. Aside from that setback, I love all the different vibration patterns and speeds. It adds that extra dimension during our lovemaking, and I've even used it on myself during solo sessions thinking about my wife!

I don't like how the surface of the controls get slippery when my hands are wet, and when this happens, the size of the controls is all the more frustrating. I find the controls to be somewhat small and I think it's difficult to hit the specific button that you're trying to select. Keep in mind, I do not have large finders! With wet fingers, I think the toy is difficult to hold onto also, especially when the water-based lube you're using finds its way down the shaft.
