Let me just come out and say that I have been lusting after Lelo’s Gigi for at least a year. I’ve read so many good things about this little rechargeable vibe and I super love Lelo, so I just had to get my hands on my very own! Thanks to Babeland, I can now cross another toy off my wish list because I am now the proud owner of this high-end vibrator.
I hate to do this, but the best way to start off describing the Gigi is to say it’s freaking adorable. At 6.5 inches long (4.5 insertable) it fits in the palm of my hand quite nicely and the 3.5 inch diameter is a great for newbies who are trying to get to their g-spot, not train for the DP Olympics. The most notable thing about this vibrator is head, which is designed to seek out your g-spot without much effort.
The insertable end is made from medical grade silicone and can be sterilized by wiping it down with a 10 percent bleach solution. It’s quite firm and very smooth, which when combined with the diminutive size and some water-based lube, makes insertion a breeze. The flatish head also makes it great for external stimulation because it’s really easy to focus the vibrations wherever you’d like.
I’ve used this toy a bunch of different ways already and see myself reaching for it often. Whether I’m using it for g-spot massage or clitoral stimulation combined with my Pure Wand, it’s pretty damn awesome.
Like all Lelo toys, the Gigi comes with a couple of storage options. I keep mine in the fancy black box that provides storage space for the charger underneath the tray, but there is also a white satin pouch if you prefer something that takes up a little less space.
My only complaint would have to be the control panel. This toy is operated by a single round button that has an X on it to help guide you. Press the left and right buttons you scroll through the seven speeds – the up and down buttons take you through the five function buttons. It seems pretty simple, but I have changed the function when I’ve wanted to change the speed enough times to mention it here. Of course, it is complicated even further when you factor in lube…
Despite that one small issue, this is still a really great vibe. It’s perfect for those of you who are just starting out with g-spot stimulation because it really takes all of the guess work out of it. I’m guessing those of you with a lot of toy experience don’t really need me to convince you that this is a great toy – you probably know enough about Lelo to have figured that out!
Get your own Gigi – it’s currently on sale but the low price won’t last!

If you’ve ever picked up an issue of Cosmo, you know what kegel exercises are and why they’re super important. I’ve previously used wand style exercisers, but until I received the Luna Pleasure Bead System I’d never tried Ben Wa style balls before.
Ben Wa balls, for those of you who are unfamiliar, are small spheres that are inserted into your vagina to help strengthen the PC muscles. This kit comes with two sets of balls – the pink weigh 28 grams and the blue 37. They are placed into a silicone girdle in any combination and then inserted. The weighted balls in each sphere then do their magic by shifting and forcing your muscles to work to keep them in place.
In my opinion, this Lelo set is an upgrade over traditional Ben Wa balls for a couple of reasons. The first reason is that it’s made out of body safe materials. The girdle is out of silicone and can be sterilized and the spheres are made out of phthalate-free plastic. The second is that Lelo provides you with two sets of balls that allow you to constantly change your workout. A diverse workout is important no matter what muscles you are focusing on!
So far, I’m pretty impressed with my experiences by the Luna System. I started by using both pink balls and have to admit it was a little unusual at first. I decided to wear them and then go on with my day and as the balls shifted I was definitely aware of them. I started by doing dishes and while I was a little distracted at first, by the time I was done I was definitely digging it and found myself a little turned on! While I haven’t dared to wear them out of the house yet, I’m looking forward to going out on a dirty little adventure…
Of course, after just a couple of weeks of use, I can’t really come out and say how well they have worked to strengthen my PC muscle. I think I’ve noticed a difference, but not sure if that’s just wishful thinking. Like any other workout, I’ll have to stick with this to see positive effects, both short and long term.
Of course, Lelo has packaged this set in a lovely black box that’s perfect for storage. They’ve also included a satin bag that’s really handy for travel.
Kegel exercises are really important, especially for women who are pregnant or a little bit older, and the Luna Pleasure Bead System is a great way to make sure you’re keeping in tip top shape!
Work it out with the Luna pleasure bead system!

I was a little surprised the first time I saw the Ella, a relatively new product from luxury company Lelo. Every toy I have by them is a super high-end vibe and this little double ended dildo didn’t seem to quite fit in. I mean, don’t get me wrong, this is an amazing toy of the highest quality, but they seemed to be pretty focused on vibrators.
Fortunately for the masses, they have branched out a bit because this pleasure object is really great. It’s made out of super sweet silicone and Lelo definitely had a woman’s body in mind when the designed it’s perfect g-spot curve. For those of you who are interested, the other end is more of a standard straight dildo that feels really great also and is really nice for teasing or thrusting!
Like all of my other Lelo toys, the Ella comes in a really nice black box that is perfect for storage. If you’re running out of storage space like me, they’ve also provided a white satin bag as an alternative. Also included are information on the one-year warranty (!) and an instruction manual that warns against silicone lube and offers maintenance information.
The brilliant minds at Lelo suggest you use this dildo with a vibe, and while I would have thought of it eventually, I made sure I had one of my favorite vibes right next to me when I took this one for a test ride. Let me tell you, this baby finds it’s way right to your g-spot without any effort and the silicone transfers vibration really well. After a couple of test runs – solo and with the girl – I am really digging this toy.
However, for the record, this toy is not your traditional double-ended dong. When I read that, I assumed it would be enough for two people to use at the same time. It’s not. In fact, at just seven inches long with a 1 ¼ inch diameter, it’s pretty small.
Knowing that, if you are a fan of toys that have a little more girth, this is probably not the toy for you. I personally think it’s so well designed that size doesn’t matter much, but it’s something you should definitely be aware of. One nice thing for me about the shape and size is that the g-spot end makes for a nice handle and it’s a nice toy for anal play. Just be wary of your grip so it doesn’t get lost and you don’t end up spending a night in the ER! You should also make sure you sterilize it using the usual methods before using it vaginally again!
Overall, I’m really impressed with the Lelo Ella and will admit that it’s right at the top of my toy list with the Pure Wand. It doesn’t have the heft of my steel bff, but it is pretty amazing for g-spot stim.
Add Lelo’s Ella to your toy collection today!

Italian fashion designer Roberto Cavalli has his hand in just about everying. Well, more like his name I should say, on clothing, sunglasses, credit cards, wine and even couture pet-wear. So where do you go when you’ve conquered the fashion world? To sex toys, of course! Cavalli’s Paris Boutique recently started selling dildos- one which was picked up by drag queen extraodinare/GAYVN Awards co-hostest Lady Bunny.
“I just went to the Roberto Cavalli store and he sells dildos,” she told reporters. “But they are a little small and they were black … that was unusual.”
Unusual indeed, but hey, if Walgreen’s can carry Lelo toys, anything is possible!

I have a few different Lelo vibrators, including the MIA and Lily, but was really excited about reviewing the Iris. The other Lelo products I own are all really small vibrators made for external stimulation, so I was looking forward to something a little bigger that can be used internally.
Upon opening the package the Iris arrived in, I knew I was in for something special. Like all Lelo toys, it comes in a nice display box that can be used for storage. One thing I love about these sharp looking boxes is that you can store everything in it. Underneath the tray which the toy rests in, I store the charger, which means I have less of a chance of mixing up any of the 10 or some random chargers I have throughout my house. So besides looking super classy, the box is actually really helpful.
This luxury vibe is made of silicone and hard plastic, so you should only use water-based lube with it. It’s pretty sizeable, so I definitely recommend lubing up before taking this one out on a date. It looks like some sort of abstract flower, hence the name, and I thought that the ridges added a nice texture that helped to stimulate my g-spot.
The best thing about the Iris is, without a doubt, the fact that it has two separate motors. One is located in the tip of the vibe and the other is further down the shaft. A couple of the pulsation patterns switch back and forth between the two, which provided a sensation I’d never felt before and very much enjoyed. Speaking of the options for this vibe, there are five different settings all of which can be used at various speeds. I really love all the different options, you can get off quickly or take your time!
The only complaint I have about the Iris, and I’ve read this in other reviews so I’m not alone, is that the controls can be a little tricky during the heat of the moment. Both speed and pulsation patterns are controlled by one old school Nintendo-esq plus sign button. It seems simple when you read the instruction book or when you’re checking it out, but when you get in the heat of the moment and things get all lubed up, it’s a little too easy to push the wrong button. However, this is the only vibe I have where I can control the intensity of each pulse pattern, so I am leaning towards forgiving Lelo for this one oversight.
I have high expectations of Lelo products, and the Iris did very little to let me down. It’s not cheap, but it’s definitely in a different league when compared to other vibes I own.

For all of you who stood in line to get your hands on your iPhone, do I have a vibrator for you! Lelo, the best thing to come out of Sweden since ABBA, is a great company dedicated to making high-end “pleasure objects” and their most recent offering, the MIA, should be on every gal on the go’s wish list.

The Lily is a tiny rechargeable vibe from Lelo, the makers of the amazing Liv. At first I was a bit surprised by the diminutive size of this “personal massager.” If I had done my research I would have known how little it was, but I taken aback to discover that it’s about the size of my three middle fingers held together. Don’t worry though; sometimes good things come in small packages!

When I first gazed at the fancy black box that houses the Liv, I knew I was in for something special. This Lelo vibe not only came to me decked to the nines in classy outerwear, she came with her own travel sleeve AND an electrical plug for easy recharging. How hot is that?!?
I’ll admit that I was a little wary of any toy that I needed to read an instruction manual to figure out. I mean really, how hard can it be? Press button, start vibrations, play, press button again. But as soon as I put my grumbling aside and picked up the instructions, I firmly shut my piehole. Sure Liv vibrates, but if you know how to work the buttons, she also pulses, revs up, and does a number of other foxy moves that you’d be a total fool to miss out on for lack of taking the five minutes to read up.

Holy guacamole is all I have to say. Yes, this toy is a bit pricey. No, it’s not 10″ long with beads and whirring animals. Aside from a small “charged” light, it doesn’t glow, or light up, or shoot rockets into the air. Well, who cares? It made me make noises I had never made before…and let me tell you, I have made many a sound. This toy carries a punch (and is rechargable rather than battery operated, so you’re being earth and wallet friendly too!), has 5 different program settings, and hits your g-spot more accurately than an MLB player can hit a ball (no pun intended). I can’t tell you how wonderful this toy is, but you should check out my full review, since I do a better job trying to explain it there. But wow. That pretty much describes it. Yes, there are some small issues with the ergonomically designed handle (ie – if you grip it the wrong way while playing, it switches programs, which is frustrating), but I give it 5 stars anyways. It’s just *that* good!
Read my entire review and take yourself to a whole new orgasmic place with the Gigi
