The Leaf Life is one of the four available external clitoral vibrators available from the BMS Enterprises luxury line. The other clitoral vibes are the Touch, the Spirit and the Fresh. It's made of fantastically green silicone over a hard, single-motor vibrating body. Life is waterproof and rechargeable, making it a great option for those who don't want to deal with batteries anymore.



The Life will be great for:
1. Those who love luxury and functional toys alike,
2. Appreciate great, ergonomic design,
3. But still demand power. Oh, you'll get some power.

The official Leaf video proclaims Fresh as the most powerful vibe in the collection -- I'm so pleased to say that Life and Fresh likely use the same motor and are the same power. (My opinion, backed by some 'water tests' is that Leaf uses 1 small, buzzy motor for the Bloom's handle, Vitality and maybe the Spirit and 1 larger, rumblier, more powerful motor for the Life, the Fresh, and the Bloom's bud end. This is based on observation, but please take a look at my pictures further down.)



Life will not please:
1. Those who love patterns
2. Those who need more power than 4 vrooms

The Life is made of matte, non-sticky, premium silicone familiar to those who own Jopen toys or toys from the Lux line. The silicone is not as hard or thin as Lelo's but has a great velvety, non-tacky feel that plays well with lube and natural fluids alike. The silicone skin completely encompasses the toy and makes it waterproof, and the DC jack the Life charges by is totally safe.

Like all the other Leaf toys I own, Life came packaged hygienically in plastic. It had not apparent smell or taste out of the packaging, though I'd recommend a wash before first use. Like the other Leaf toys, Life does have a semi-apparent seam. Some people think it's way ugly, I find that I can forgive it.



The Life has no texture of its own, such as ridges, waves or bumps. It does, however, possess a fairly flexible tip that may be bent by exerting pressure and transmits vibrations very well.

The Leaf Life is the most iconic leaf shape of the entire line -- though the others are all imaginative and adorable. The Life looks just the way you'd draw a leaf in a picture, with an up curve and a down curve and a pointed tip. This makes the Leaf ergonomic as well as attractive.

In fact, the shape is iconic enough (in my opinion) to possibly distract someone who doesn't know much about sex toys. So, certainly it's not obscene and it's even fairly to mostly discreet.




The Life is somewhat surprisingly long in the hand, at 4". The Fresh, by comparison, is a more compact 3". The Life, however, is slim, mean and green at only 1" in width and depth. It feels like it has a solid weight (unlike the Mimi, which feels light and hollow) to it without being heavy.

Don't I know you from somewhere?
The Leaf very much reminds me a slightly larger version of the Jopen 6.5's clit arm.



The Flexible Tip:
This is Life's greatest strength. The Life feel like the strongest of the Life vibes I own, and I'd chalk it up to this flexible, narrow tip. The narrow tip focuses the vibrations and allows for pin-point strength that doesn't waste a single vroom. It's also nubby, flexible and can bend fairly well without interfering with the vibrations, making it easily positioned and allows for some pressure and rubbing, if that's what you like to do with your toys (I do!)

I have been a little bit underwhelmed by the insertable toys of the Leaf line, like the Vitality and the Bloom. However, both the Fresh and the Life please me! I find their ergonomic and conscientious designs to be great strengths and unforgettable in terms of creativity and being pleasing to the eye as well as delivering on power to please your clit.

In the life, the vibrations are located just behind the flexible tip, in the slightly bulged body that can be seen in a side view of the toy. Since the motor is located slightly forward, this means that you get neither a buzzy hand nor a toy that sputters when pressure is applied to it. When held in the hand, the Life's power port will be facing up, towards your palm, while your fingers are spread across it like you're holding a computer mouse. The button will be within millimeters of your thumb whether you're right handed or left, which is great placement.

The Controls:
The Life is elegantly simple. It has one button for both on, off and going up in power. Simply click and hold ~3 seconds to turn on; click quickly to turn off. Holding the button will increase the power (the button will flash under your finger). When the highest power setting has been reached, the button will flash green very quickly, then stay steady.



Unfortunately, the Life doesn't offer patterns -- for some, this is a downside. However, I almost never use patterns, so I didn't hold it against the Life. Note that none of the Leaf vibes offer a pattern/variety setting.

The Water Test:
I love using the water test as a way to visualize and compare vrooms of toys, since it's sometimes hard to describe exactly how strong a toy is (especially over the internet). Buzzy toys will give small, narrow ripples in a shallow pool of water while rumbly toys will show large ripples. Powerful toys will spray water around a lot, while weak toys will barely disturb the water to give off any drops.

I'd love to show for you, all in one place, the results of the water test for the 4 Leaf vibes I own: the Bloom, the Vitality, the Life and the Fresh. Hopefully, this will allow you to compare the strengths side by side and see how each toy differs in power.

The Fresh: Fresh does very well, at 4 vrooms. It's no slouch and can give moderately strong clitoral stimulation.


The Life: it does great! I'd say it's as powerful, possibly even feels more powerful than the Fresh in use.


Now, the insertables, which are considerably weaker. First, the Bloom (handle and bud ends):



The Vitality, testing both arms (they're about the same strength)):

Since the Leaf is 100% waterproof, clean up is easy. I love toys that are completely waterproof, since I don't have to worry about lube or fluids during play and I feel that I can clean the toy thoroughly afterwards.

Don't worry about the port -- it's totally safe. Just be sure to wipe this area dry before plugging it in.


As a silicone toy with motorized parts, you can wash the Life with warm soap and water, give it a once-over with toy wipes or a 10% bleach solution. However, do not boil the Life, run it through the dishwasher or microwave. This will damage the electronic parts.

The Life is 100% premium silicone, which means it may be compatible with high-end, premium silicone lubes. Do a patch test to be certain, or steer clear of silicone lubes completely. I absolutely recommend Sliquid, which has a great variety of water-based lubes to choose from. Oil-based lubes are also an option, though you should not use condoms within the same encounter, as oil will dissolve them very quickly.

Packaging, like all Leaf toys, is impeccable. It's a tasteful, brown box that's sturdy and reuseable, as well as a regular shape that lends itself to being stored. The appearance is in keeping with Leaf's 'green, recycle' theme. Inside, the manual sits elevated above the toy compartment, where there's enough space for the toy, inside its travel bag, and the charger to rest. The flap of the entire box is secured by magnets, which is practical and classy. Awesome, Leaf!
