review: lelo liv

dear babeland and lelo;

thank you for the liv and the many orgasms.

-badinfluencegirl

the lelo liv is a delightful example of a simple thing done very well. it is a beautiful little machine made of smooth and silky silicone that recharges fast and then holds a charge for a couple of hours.  the controls are simple and there is a handy light to tell you when its charge is low or when it’s finished charging.

it has five vibration patterns [steady, pulse,  faster pulse, fastest pulse, slow rise] and several speeds. the control dial has four modes with plus and minus to the right and left and pattern on the top and bottom.  top to go up in the choices and bottom to go down.  this seems to be a pretty standard controller for lelo as it is identical on gigi.

the thing is, when you get to the top you have to go back down. i would so much rather just be able to scroll through in either direction to give me more variety.  i could be wrong but i can’t imagine it’s that hard to do since lots of other vibes let you endlessly scroll bidirectionally.

i have a few minor issues with liv; she could have a couple more options in terms of vibe patterns, her motor could have a little more oomph on the top end and they could get rid of the annoying whistle in the low end.  it’s got a fantastic low end for when you’re writing a post or starting slow or waaay too sensitive but it doesn’t have quite enough top end for the girls who really need a lotta vibe.

but here’s the thing, i really like this vibe. i just do.

it feels good on the skin, my nipples like it, my gspot loves it and my clitoris is happy to see it. in fact i’m horny while i write about it. i wrote across with it nestled gently between my thighs as i slowly cycled through the settings and upped the speed a notch with each rotation through the settings. it was awesome.  equally awesome was that the whistle was much less noticeable when liv was cradled between my thighs.

it was even more awesome to then hop to the bed and actually get off. generally if things are mild enough to titillate myself they aren’t strong enough to get me to the end of the road… but this vibe really is.

i think it’s best for the days when you want to tease yourself and play with yourself and let the lovely fabric of this machine caress your nipples and your entrance and stroke you wickedly before teasing your g-spot until you can’t bear it any longer and you just have to shove your clitoris against it and make little puddles on your bed.

if you’re after a quick and dirty orgasm?  if you want to be rode hard and put up aching?

this may be too soft and gentle for you.  but i don’t want the latter that often, and when i do i’m just as likely to use my finger or my finger and a dildo.  this toy lets you ride your orgasm for a while, it’s restrained and seems to facilitate having several orgasms at once.  particularly if you can leave it on your g-spot after your clit is twitching and your hips are bucking.

this vibe does what it does extremely well, it and gigi are quite similar and i would pick gigi if you want to use your toy to vibe other toys as well as on yourself and i would pick liv because her shape is more pleasing to fuck;  and if i HAD to say,  i think gigi is slightly better on the g and liv is slightly better on the labia/clitoris… maybe.

i would recommend liv to anyone who doesn’t already have a high end vibrator that they love.  to anyone who needs something small and portable that packs a punch.   to anyone that wants to pleasure themselves with beautiful things and feel good doing it.  to anyone that likes to surf their orgasms.

i would not recommend this to anyone who has tried a lot of vibes and found that only the hitachi magic wand will get them off.

so lelo liv gets plus one for being rechargeable and minus one for the annoying squeal in the low end and minus one half for not enough power and the other half for kinda limited vibration pattern options for a total of nine out of ten.

did i mention thanks for all the orgasms and that liv is now in the regular rotation? (not a long list)  no?  well i should have.

    Great review. I’m considering getting the Gigi for my lady but she may want the liv instead.

    Another great review, but it’s just more proof that the good Swedish folks at Lelo know what they are doing.
