Siri, the good and the ehhh

Siri's biggest buying point is that she is virtually silent, which is something that we all wish we could say about our favorite vibrators that are buried underneath blankets and pillows at home. Lelo then sweetens this clitoral vibe by featuring 6 vibration patterns that work nicely for pin-point stimulation from the clit to the nips.

I wouldn't say the power behind these vibes are going to rock any avid vibrator user's world, but it definitely has the capability to bring any beginner to their hypothetical knees. Siri is a great toy for foreplay if you're looking for that perfect amount of stimulation just to get you going before the main course.

When it's just me, I slip her between my lips and hug her ever so lightly with my thighs and give her a little rocking motion. This leaves my hands free to tease the rest of my body that is usually neglected when I use much larger vibrators that require two hands. When with a partner, this leaves my hands free to roam more exciting places than just a power switch.

The Siri is made up of a smooth silicone where it will be coming into contact with your body, and ABS plastic where the control pad and charging port are located. This is a great material combination that results in a toy that is soft to the touch but not squishy or porous which helps eliminate odors.

Cleaning the toy is made easy with such reliable materials that just need to be rinsed in warm soapy water after use to keep gunk free. I noticed that the silicone part of the Siri resists lint and other fibers that most silicone toys seem to collect like it was a hobby or something; the fact that Siri isn't a follower in this trend is much appreciated.

The highlights of the Siri are that it is ergonomic and small, it fits very nicely against the labia in such a way that there is no need to hold it in place, and hands free is always a fantastic thing. It also has a wide variety of speeds and 6 pulsations. I counted 9 speed variations, but the first 2 really don't deserve a spot on the list they are so weak. Many times I thought I turned my Siri off only to hear in the middle of the night a barely audible hum indicating that it was still on.

The last and highest speed setting is pretty awesome. This is coming from a hardcore vibrator user who mostly rocks the massager category. I hope that gives you some perspective. If I say that this thing has some 'oomph,' then it most definitely does. I think that beginners will love this vibrator. However advanced users will be disappointed. I find myself often settling for this toy when the batteries in my Acuvibe are dead.

The D-pad on this toy features an up and down arrow that controls the patterns. The cool thing about these arrows is that they allow you to go backward while selecting a variation that suits your fancy. I like that the Siri has so many patterns to choose from. That's a feature that I think beginners will enjoy. There is a minus and plus sign opposite each other that control the speed of this toy. I found that these buttons, because they are so flat, are hard to distinguish between when in use.

It was very vexing to be using this toy while trying to find my groove and accidentally clicking the pulsation button that throws everything off and having to start over. I had to constantly check my finger placement on these controls and that really ruins the experience. This toy is definitely quite. Even on its highest setting there is no need for the standard precautions of music and blanket application to muffle the sound.

I store my Lelo Siri in the box that it came in, which is made from a sturdy black matte cardboard. After using this toy, I rinse it with warm water and antimicrobial soap and dry it with a paper towel. Siri is really easy to clean. The only potential problem is that because it is so small, about 3.5 in long, this means that it is easier to get water in the charging port by accident, so be careful of that.

Siri came in a premium black matte cardboard box which is great for storage or a gift box. It also came with a 1 year warranty and instruction booklet that was an easy and quick read. There was the standard black booklet that showcases other Lelo products, one charger and a silk-ish carrying pouch for the Siri.
