The PicoBong Zizo is a battery operated, waterproof vibrator from Lelo. PicoBong is the lower end line of Lelo. They are very similar to the higher end offerings in function, but are battery operated instead of rechargeable, but the materials are equal. The Zizo is a good vaginal or clitoral massager, but I find it can also be used anally. Just use caution and hold the handle or use a toy accessory/enhancer as a flange, since it does not have a flared base. Honestly, though it's very unlikely you would lose the Zizo in your rectum. It's pretty long.

Zizo is very similar to Liv, but runs on 2 AAA batteries and is waterproof, which is an added bonus. It's slightly more girthy too.

The toy is made of plastic and the insertable end is coated in silicone. Silicone is a 10 on the EF safety scale and can be sterilized and shared. Lelo makes the best silicone in my opinion. It is smooth and silky feeling. There is barely a subtle matter finish that causes only the slightest drag. The Zizo comes in choice of fuscia, blue or purple. It has no smell or taste and is non porous. The dildo is rigid.

This is a great dildo for any level or user, but beginners to intermediate are probably the main audience.

The Zizo is a pretty basic vibrator shape. It's phallic with a mild curve to help stimulate the G or P-spot. It is an average size width wise at 1 1/4" (or 4" circumference). The overall length is 7 3/4" with about 6" being insertable. The last part is the battery cap/handle. It weighs 1/2 pound and is fairly light, but solid feeling.

This toy is easy to hide or store and is an ideal shape and size for beginners to more advanced users. For us, it does the job we expected. It is like a slightly thicker version of Liv in size or Elise (which I don't have).

There are twelve different vibrational patterns with Zizo (more than liv's 5) The 3 control buttons on on the side of the toy. The middle one changes the patterns and the + and - buttons change the intensity. The toy, like other Lelo's, is very quiet and discreet. The vibrations are on the rumbly side and quite strong. If you like using in the shower or tub, this is a great choice. It is watertight and can be used to a depth of 1 meter, so it's perfectly safe to use in the shower/tub or even a pool if you stay in the shallow end! 2 AAA batteries should last at least 2 hrs.

The controls are intuitive and easy to use for the most part. When using on my partner, I did not have too much trouble. I've heard some find it cumbersome to change controls while using it solo, and I can see where that could be a problem. The buttons are on the side, rather than the top and are not raised very much. Someone used to braille, might find them very easy to use. I do prefer the controls on the Liv/Ina 2, but I can live with them OK.

It is recommended to use water-based lubes as some silicone lubes can damage silicone. If you must use silicone-based lube with Zizo, do so at your own risk and do a spot-test first. Otherwise, care for Zizo is a cinch. You can clean it with warm soap and water, toy cleaner, 10% bleach solution or wipes. Since it is waterpoof you can clean it in the sink carefree. Do not store in direct sunlight. Do not boil.

You can store in a drawer or storage chest. It's fine to store it plain or you can use a cloth pouch. Silicone attracts dust and lint, but Lelo silicone is much less of a problem than most others, so it's less of an issue.

The box comes in a color coded cardboard box with a window showing the toy. The toy rests in a carton on the bottom, so that it is free standing. It's not really a great storage box though, like the higher-end Lelo products give you. It is pretty basic overall. There is a silly little PicoBong tag that you can attach to the small end ring on the battery cover, but not sure why you would bother.

Since the toy is visible, the packaging is not discreet, but it is attractive and understated.

The Zizo is a great vibrator for the price. You could spend more and get less. Functionally, it is as good or better than some of the higher end Lelo vibes like Liv and Ina2/Mona. The silicone is just as luxurious. The only downsize is it is battery operated, but some people prefer that, so it's not really a con. The size is a good average size that should satisfy most.

At this price point, you gotta have one of these. It's a perfect shower companion it you want something waterproof. They are half the price of the higher end Lelo versions, with the only real difference being battery operated. That is a plus or con, depending on your preference.

We found the vibrations to be pleasurable and strong, just like our Liv, only with more patterns. My GF is rather tight and Liv is an ideal size for her. She noticed the extra girth with Zizo, but it wasn't "too much" for her either. I tried it anally and found it a good size to insert as well. The vibrations are deep and penetrating and pretty rumbly, while being very quiet. The silicone is wonderful and less draggy than other brands.
