Lelo Gigi 2 – Test & Review

Perhaps the Lelo Gigi 2's greatest selling point is its flattened tip, designed for perfect, broad-yet-firm g-spot massage. I was a huge fan of it – the amount of surface area it covered made for some really great sensations. The rest of the shaft is slim and curved, which made it comfortable to insert and use without a whole load of prep. However, I feel like Lelo is very attached to designing sex toys that are part silicone- and part plastic-covered. Of course, this isn't a bad thing in itself (just look at how much I loved the We-Vibe Tango X), but sometimes it does create crevices where stuff can get lodged.

The Lelo Gigi 2 is very approachable for beginners. It's small and lightweight, and the slim shaft is perfect for those who don't have a ton of experience with insertable toys or penetration in general. One thing I do like about the hard plastic handle is that it makes the buttons so much easier to use. Even with the more complex controls, they're easy to locate and make a click-y sound when pressed – way easier than silicone-covered buttons. If I'm being nitpick-y, it's a little annoying and unintuitive that the patterns don't cycle though. If you're exploring them and want to go back to the beginning, then you have to click the 'back' button all the way back to the start.

The Gigi 2 is a Lelo product, and it carries the same hallmark of quality as any other Lelo toy. The silicone is smooth and velvet-y soft, the construction is solid, there's no rattle-y parts. It just works, and that reliability is not to be underestimated!

Another common theme of Lelo's products is their premium price tags. The Lelo Gigi 2 is not cheap! Of course, the quality and power of this vibrator warrant a price that takes into account all of these features, but I would say that the Gigi 2 isn't particularly accessible financially-speaking to those who don't have a lot of sex toy experience or aren't sure about committing to such a high-price toy. Yet, in a way that's exactly who the Gigi 2 is aimed toward.

The vibrations from the Lelo Gigi 2 are, in my opinion, a bit of a mixed bag. Rumbles? Yes, definitely – the vibrations are super deep and rumbly, making for an excellent g-spot massage. But powerful? Not so much. I'm not someone who can only function with the world's most powerful wand vibrator or whatever, but I do need vibrations that are on the stronger side. I spoke more in detail about my experiences above, but the short version is that, both as a g-spot vibrator and a clitoral one, the Gigi 2 never quite reached the peaks I was hoping for.

The Gigi 2's packaging follows the standard Lelo packaging conventions, and I quite like it! The black and gold feels luxurious, like opening a really nice gift, but it does also feel a little flimsy. Inside, you also get a satin storage pouch, a small sachet of lube, a quick instruction manual and a warranty card for one year.

As I mentioned earlier, all of the Lelo Gigi 2's materials feel super high-quality. I love the silicone on Lelo products – it's always so silky soft that you just want to touch it. It's made with 100% non-porous materials and is completely waterproof, so it can be cleaned with good old soap and water. The issue with having a hard plastic handle is that there is a slight gap where the two materials meet. After you've used it, you really have to get in there with your nail or some other poke-y device to clean out all the residue – which isn't the most fun experience.
