CARNAL NATION

"The clitoris is the only feature of the human anatomy whose sole function is to convey messages of sensual pleasure. Use it wisely, often and with care." —LELO

I received my toy in much the same way I usually do. It always gives me a thrill to see a package on my front door step. As usual, I ran and stashed it in my closet to avoid prying questions from the children and secretly giggled to myself wondering what was inside of the box. Finally, during a brief moment alone, I opened it to find a bright purple box containing the Gigi Pleasure Object by LELO. Inside was another, much more discreet, rectangular box with no hints as to what lay inside. I opened the box delicately to find a dainty little vibrator along with charging equipment and a satiny white draw string pouch.

The vibrator itself had a small white handle with a light-up LED keypad for controls bordered by a shiny silver band. The actual stem is grape kool-aid purple and about four inches long. The stem looked like a typical, average plastic... but no! It was beautifully soft to the touch—almost silky. It has a slight curve to it (designed for the g-spot), and the tippy top is almost flat with a bit of a lip on it. I read the instructions and set Gigi up for a charge. At least two hours was recommended. The LED pulses white light while charging, and the light will remain steady when she is fully charged.

Playing with Gigi was an adventure. She charged quickly, and my husband was eager to see what he could do with her. He had some trouble figuring out how to turn her on and then adjusting the speeds of the vibe to start with, but the instructions were quite thorough. At first, I was mesmerized by the silky smoothness of the "pleasure object," but in the heat of the moment, in the dark, the control pad was confusing even though it had the lighted LED pad. We just sort of went with it. Clitoral stimulation was very nice—smooth, soft and gentle. Once inserted for g-spot stimulation, it was another story. I really didn't care for Gigi's flat top when inserted. It felt awkward and uncomfortable. We turned it a few times to see if maybe she was facing the wrong way, but no matter which way it was turned, it was just uncomfortable.

By myself, Gigi has turned out to be a lovely little toy. This is a Lady's vibrator. It is small, but soft and powerful all at the same time. Clitoral stimulation is the key with Gigi—made easier by the flat top. It has several speeds, including pulse and my favorite, the wave pulsation, which is a slow build-up of vibration power, up and down. When taking your time, the control pad is easy to use, and the small size makes it discreet. Gigi is also very quiet and has a locking system so that it doesn't accidentally get turned on.

For $109.00, Gigi is a good buy. She is the perfect vibrator for the bedside table. Use her on those nights when you feel like pampering yourself—not for those wild nights of sweaty, aggressive fucking. Again, this is a Lady's vibrator! Take a quiet bubble bath, listen to some soothing music, and indulge yourself with the Gigi Pleasure Object by LELO.
 

When I received my new Gigi Rechargeable Vibrator by LELO (yes, I said rechargeable), I was super excited. My BO by LELO has been a wonderful addition to my toy box and has given me hours of pleasure, so I know the company puts out some rockin toys.

Upon initial glance at the packaging, again, LELO does not disappoint. The packaging included a solid black box with velvet lining, a charger, warranty information, instructions, and a handy silk storage pouch.

The design of the Gigi is pretty darn cool, I must admit. And I am not generally impressed easily.  It’s a small wand with a flat head, which may be designed more for female play, but despite being flat, even a starter could give it a try with anal play. It comes in three colors: Deep Rose, Petal Pink and Turquoise Blue. Thankfully, I got the blue.  The dial/control panel of this groovy toy is at the base and is a dial of sorts. Very easy to use although a few times at first, I hit the dial inadvertently and the toy would change speeds or modes. Not a pleasant experience when you are “almost there.”

Now here is where the design gets cool. There are 5 different modes (slow pulse, faster pulse, incredibly fast pulse, pulsing waves, and constant pulse), and each one of those modes can be adjusted in intensity!!!  It’s a pretty cool toy in that regard.

The Gigi did get put to the test the first day. I quickly got used to the dial and all of the different modes or settings. Gay-boy toys don’t often come with all of those settings...so I needed some adjustment. There’s a lot to this little toy, so I wanted to get used to it first so that I could know what it could deliver. 

I began my initial session the following day with the Gigi turning it on to the slow pulse mode at a lower speed for a little foreplay. I started jacking off and ran the Gigi down my cock and on my balls. I also used it on my nipples…INCREDIBLE. The vibe on this baby is intense. This got me pretty worked up, so I put some lube on the toy, threw a pillow under my back, put my legs in the air, and stuck it by my hole. I teased it a little bit while turning the vibe down even lower. It was the perfect setting to get me loosened up and ready for entry all the why jerking my cock. The flat head on this toy is not really conducive to anal play, so I kind of took my time not knowing what to expect.

I inserted the flat tip very slowly, and it hit the spot immediately, which was a HUGE surprise. I did expect this toy to disappoint me a little because of the design as well as the small size. But it did the job…especially when I put it on the fast pulse mode and increased the speed very slowly from low to high. It felt like I was getting fucked…and I mean fucked HARD. It did take me a bit longer with this toy to cum however…the curvature doesn’t hit the “p-spot” that well. But I made it work.

The versatility of the Gigi was not extensive for me due to its curvature, size, and flat head. However, that being said, it even did the job for this relatively experienced toy user.

I have a new wish list.  I would love a LELO-designed toy like this that's made more for anal play, especially for the guy.  The pulse settings are/were intense, and if I could have something a little bigger, curved, and designed for anal…I know which toy would be at the top of my arsenal every time.

This toy is easy to use once you get the hang of it.  But with all of the features it offers, it is worth the learning curve. It is also is very easy to clean.  And as always, make sure you use a water-based lube with this one boys and girls.

At a retail price of $109, I’m not sure this is the most economical or practical of purchases. However, I was very impressed.  Especially for the ladies, bi boys and girls, poly’s, and everyone else in between…get 'em while their hot. This toy is pretty damn incredible.

This month I will be 50 years young. I have always been a sensual adventurer chasing after the most pleasure I could possibly enjoy—both by myself and with a partner. I have always focused on clitoral stimulation alone to get me off even though I love rough fucking. I have on occasion squirted out of intense pleasurable erotic sensations hitting my "Sweet Spot" while being screwed hard like the person was going to knock the bottom out of me on the hard wood floor. Until I became a adult toy tester for CarnalNation and have had the pleasure of testing out different kinds of adult toys, I just always went after the instant gratification of the prized orgasm in ways I have habitually used to get myself off, which has been direct clitoral stimulation.

When I got the Gigi, I was excited to put it to the test. Ever since the first time I squirted from being simultaneously stimulated inside as well as on my clit, I have taken a interest in discovering my "G" spot. I also got a great video about the "G" spot just before I got the Gigi. So through harmonic convergence or synchronicity of events, I have discovered my sweet spot by taking my time in using this amazing new "G" spot stimulation toy. Any ladies out there who have heard of the "G" spot but have never explored that area of sensuality and erotic sensation or think that they just don't have it, I encourage you to get a Gigi and a video or book about the "G" spot. The Gigi is the perfect tool to explore this area! Before I got the Gigi, it was hit or miss for me. Now I'm an expert squirter!

Before I used the Gigi for the first time, I plugged it into the charger that comes with it for two hours. One nice feature is that when Gigi is charging, the lighted control dial blinks until it is fully charged. Another cool feature on that control dial is a locking setting that insures that Gigi will be in the off setting while going through customs at the airport or other inconvenient times. I forgot about that last little feature recently while Gigi was in my handbag. Just as I placed my handbag between my thighs as I went to hug a dear friend, Gigi got turned on and started to pulsate. Excuse me, I have a call on my cell phone. Blush blush!

I'm glad to report that I really put Gigi to the test. I took my time by myself to try out all the different vibration settings that go from mild to intense as well as the different pulsation settings. It took me a little time to get used to the control button during penetration. At one point when I was just about to go over the edge, my finger slipped and turned Gigi off. I had to quickly fumble around to get her back on the spot and bringing me to one mind-blowing orgasm after another to the point of squirting! It's freaking intense! Just the way I like it!!!

Sense the day I got my Gigi, I have used it exclusively almost every day along with my Eroscilator vibe on my clit. Each time I have had some of the most intense orgasms I have ever had in my life save for one particular Swedish man who can flip me and keep me in a state bliss for hours on end!

Hooray for Lelo, a high end adult toy company based in Stockholm Sweden! Sweden is known for its design savvy, and Lelo adds to that reputation with their design of the Gigi. Its sleek silicone shaft is velvety smooth, and the firmness and the slightly hooked head,  like the ridge on the head of a penis, is perfect for reaching the "G" spot. I would like to see Lelo make a Gigi in a larger size, kind of like a big sister to Gigi, because it  is only about six and a half inches long and almost an inch in width. When a woman approaches orgasm, the vagina elongates as muscles contract, and I found that in my case I had to dive deeper as I got closer to orgasm. Because Gigi is so petite, I found myself wishing that I had another inch or two and a textured surface with which to get a better grip. When things get wet and wild down there, the last thing I want is to have to go between enjoying the big O and focusing my attention on the mechanics of getting Gigi moving just right.   

The packaging that Gigi comes in is another design winner in my opinion. Gigi comes in a very nice box that is almost like the kind of box a fine piece of jewelry comes in. Everything about the packaging says luxury and quality, just like the gem that's inside the box. Lelo has even included a nice white satin draw string pouch for Gigi to slip into for travel or when not in use. How cool is that?!?

Gigi is now my favorite plaything. I hope that any ladies out there who are curious about their own "G" spot or even those who are in touch with that area of there bodies will check this product out and give it a test for yourself, you wont be disappointed.

A sly wink and a smile sent your way!
