i have coveted very few sex toys in my life but i have coveted this one since ever i first saw it back around christmas. and then? one very lovely day? the folks at libida.com sent me one to review!

my life rocks did i mention?

lelo makes inordinately pretty toys; all soft curves and light colours that are clearly designed by people who love femininity and pastels. the instructions come in multiple languages and although i find the packaging mildly excessive i can’t argue with results as the toy shows up undamaged and charged.

did i mention that lelo toys are rechargeable? no? well they are and they charge FAST with a simple device to indicate charging (flashing light) and charged (solid light.) awesome right?

see that little circle on the white part? that’s the control pad and the ring is where the light is. you can lock the control pad for travel by pressing and holding the centre for five seconds and otherwise a shorter press turns it off and on. below that circle is the hole for charging it and said hole is covered to protect the plug from girl juice and lube.

all in all a pretty stellar design although the control pad is a little annoying when gigi is all the way inside you or when it’s covered in lube. there are five vibration patterns plus a nicely speeded straight vibration setting and twelve speeds on each setting.

there are a lot of things to like about gigi.  she has a lovely flat top that rests on your clit or vaginal entrance and allows the full pulsation to hit you wherever you place it  (also useful if you press it against a non vibing toy because the conductive surface is large and it transfers the vibration extremely well.

gigi is pretty and well made and has good speeds and is rechargeable and it’s quite quiet except at the highest settings [when i wrote this review i was assured that the high pitched whine i heard on the low settings had been fixed in the newer models and thus did not mention it.  it has not been fixed and is quite unpleasant] and comes with a lovely carrying pouch and a pretty compact recharger… not to mention that debauchette and chelsea both like it which is some pretty damn fine praise.

i wish that the patterns were endless, as in i would like it if i pressed the up arrow and after going through the variations it just started again at the beginning.  instead it stops and you have to press the down arrow.  doesn’t matter that much but does make for less variety in my fun.

anyway i tried gigi several times and the first few were relatively disappointing.  i couldn’t even get myself off the first time!

then i got the hang of her.

turns out that for me miss gigi prefers a slow buildup with work in her lesser speeds and some play with my vaginal entrance and even my nipples.  my body doesn’t want gigi to be quick and dirty but rather wants to play for a nice long time.

and that’s okay it really is.  in fact i even understand what all the fuss is about.  gigi is a great toy.  it’s well made and pretty to look at, it’s rechargeable and the vibration patterns (while unimaginative) are exactly what the sex gods ordered and their strongest and weakest buzz are so far apart that really i’m pretty sure they would satisfy any woman any old time.

gigi doesn’t slide in as well as she might because of the strangely shaped head but once in?  once in you will feel her vibrations shimmy through your entire nether regions and your hips will most defintely do their personal happy dance… although personally i prefer her for clitoral or vaginal entrance stimulation (or for holding against a non vibrating dildo!) she does do a fine job with the g-spot in spite of her lack of power on the higher end.

i do think i will use gigi more externally than internally but i will definitely use her.

in fact i think i sum her up like this: gigi is an excellently made and lovely vibrator that doesn’t do anything original but does give a nice twist on an old classic.  she definitely packs a punch and her great variation in vibration speeds will please anyone who cares to try her.

if you are looking for a high end vibe that does the job and packs away small this is definitely the toy for you!

nine out of ten because she’s missing the wow factor and the half point she gets for being rechargeable she loses for excessive packaging materials.  don’t break the bank for this one but don’t shy away from it either.  and do allow me to mention that mine is the MOST lukewarm review i’ve ever seen [and i asked at my local sex shop and they all love it there too] of this vibe so i’m pretty sure no one will be disappointed by it! [really i want to change the grade now that i know about the motor... this toy is almost as good as it should be... but isn't]
