Toy Review ~ Lelo Gigi

***Update: It is your choice if you would like to order from Vibereview, but I go on record to say I no longer support them. From a business standpoint, they have stopped paying me and refuse to answer me when I ask them about it. I would request that you do not buy from them, but again it is your choice. As an alternative, we support and recommend our personal friends at freddyandeddy.com***

Ah, Gigi. When we were first introduced to the wonderful world of Lelo, we found ourselves trying to decide between Lily and Gigi. Ultimately, we decided to take Lily home with us, but never forgot Gigi. She was always the one I kept almost buying. In a way, she was that special girl you always wanted to date but somehow things never quite worked out. But, we have finally met this lovely, versatile girl, the middle child of the Lelo line. How would fair Gigi do now that we had finally attained her?

The Package

As always, Lelo provides their lucky customer with their signature “boxgasm”. First is the outer sleeve, with silver embossed outlines of the “pleasure object” within:

Remove the sleeve to find the textured, embossed box with the simple LELO lettermark:

The top lifts off to reveal the beautitful Gigi nestled in custom-fit spot:

Lifting Gigi’s tray out provides you with the rest of the kit, which includes a satin bag, charger, and instruction manual:

Lelo is the number one reason I talk about packaging. Clearly, the folks at Lelo want you to know that you have purchased a premium product. So many toy are just, “get something that vibrated, vacuum form some plastic, slap a pornstar on it, and get it out the door” in their presentation, and it is wonderful to see someone who puts thought and precision into something that is so intimate. It’s not just that I think other toys seem cheap, it’s that Lelo seems rich.

Shouldn’t your orgasms be rich?

Getting Familiar

Gigi slots neatly into the middle of the Lelo lineup:

Bigger than the minuscule Lily (bottom), but not quite a powerhouse like the hulking Iris (top), Gigi aims for being “just right,” though she clearly shares far more DNA with her big sister. Like Iris, she has a proud chrome band that separate her arrow-pad controller from the silicone-siliconed skinned business end. Like Lily, Gigi has one motor, but Gigi’s motivator has some more oomph to make sure everyone goes home happy. And, completely unique to Gigi is her shape:

The Gigi has a small kink at the tip and a gently curved flat end. And this simple, elegant shape ultimately proves to be the true genius in Gigi’s design. This kink is adept at curling in for some G-spot stimulation, and the flat face also makes for a handy clitoral stimulator. Gigi’s size is just right for either application, so you are not straining to reach for either spot, although obviously both at once is not possible with just one toy.

The arrow pad controller works in the same way as Iris. The up-and-down direction change the mode of vibration, and the left and right directions (marked with a helpful + and -) change the power. You can cycle through all power levels in all modes. Pressing the middle of the pad turns Gigi off, which is handy in some situations, but frustration when accidentally triggered. The mode are different speeds of on-and-off pulsing, and gradual increase-and-decrease. A translucent ring around the control pad blinks with white light after every button press.

Putting it to work

Lelo loves to spoil its customers with remarkably quiet motors, and Gigi is no exception. Although you can still hear a muted hum in a quiet bedroom, a comforter can almost completely muffle her noise. The silicone surface is wonderfully soft to the touch, and still the best-feeling material for any sex toy to be made of. Lelo recommends you plug Gigi into the wall for a few hours to get the battery fully charged for first use. Ours was ready to go in less than two hours.

The first time I used Gigi was when I went on a weekend trip that Sylvanus could not join me on. I decided I might as well give her a try while I was away. Since I’m not very “into” g spot stimulation when I masturbate, I used Gigi as a clitoral stimulator. Gigi’s flat surface does allow for perfect stimulation. The flat surface itself, is sort of oval shaped. This allows for trying out certain positions to see how Gigi can best stimulate your clitoris. You can use the entire flat surface. You can use the more narrow part of the oval shape. Or, you can use the more rounded part. You have many options with her. I used her whole surface. She also gave my pussy lips a very erotic massage. I enjoyed rubbing her along my labia. I would then dip her slightly into my pussy, only to pull her out again and run her up along my labia, and finally press against my clit. She gave me a wonderful orgasm and I instantly went for seconds. I enjoyed Gigi so much that I had to play with her again during my weekend away. I was hooked. ( I had brought other toy options). Would I recommend you to get the Gigi? YES! In fact I really do feel that she may be the perfect “first” for your Lelo experience.

Conclusions

Gigi is everything you expect from Lelo – unbeatable quality, quiet motors, and beautifully designed. Her shape is clearly designed with pleasure as a purpose, and is unique in the world of sex toys. She packs the right kind of punch to satisfy even the most toy-familiar woman, and brings in a conveniently small package. Gigi is a unique enough to package to justify the extra purchase to owners of the Iris or the Lily, (or even both!), and perhaps, is the best possible way to introduce someone to the Lelo difference.
