My Verdict

This petite powerhouse packs a surprising punch in all the right ways. The LELO Gigi 3's curved design ensures the vibrations tickle the G-spot oh-so well, and the smooth, flat tip allows it to do double duty as a clitoral vibrator. The eight preset vibration patterns offer something for everyone with a few low and rumbly vibes, a few buzzy ones, and even some pulsing patterns. The Gigi 3 proves that good things, even G-spot vibrators, really can come in small packages. Though, it may be too small for people who like deep penetration.

About The LELO Gigi 3

The LELO Gigi 3 is a sleek, curved vibrator with a uniquely shaped tip that makes it perfect for both G-spot and clitoral stimulation. The flat, disc-shaped tip paired with the curved shaft means that the powerful vibrations resonate through your entire G-spot when it's inserted in the vagina. If you're looking for some external stimulation, you can press the smooth, flat tip right onto your clit for sublime waves of pleasure. The entire vibrator is made of silky smooth body-safe silicone, and it's waterproof for easy cleaning and shower/bath play. You can control the Gigi 3's eight vibration patterns via three buttons on the handle of the vibrator. The middle button, also used to turn it on, cycles through a variety of vibes from gentle and rumbly to positively purring. There are patterns for continuous as well as pulsing vibrations, and a button above and a button below the power button make it easy to find the exact intensity that sends you over the moon.

The vibrations of the LELO Gigi 3 are silent, quite powerful, and neither really buzzy nor rumbly

Personal Experience

My Personal Experiences with LELO Gigi 3

I won’t lie, when I first opened the LELO Gigi 3, I was worried this little baby just wasn’t going to do it for me. At less than 6.5 inches long, with only 3.5 of those inches being insertable, and just over 1.5″ in diameter, the Gigi 3 struck me as… underwhelming. Luckily, the Gigi 3 proved itself more than just a pretty face. To my pleasant surprise, this dainty dynamo really delivered. It created powerful vibrations in some patterns that I haven’t felt from other vibrators, including two wave-like settings that continually build the intensity of the sensation. For my body, the design was perfect for G-spot stimulation, delivering those powerful vibes exactly where I wanted them to go, and the flat tip made it easy to get incredible clitoral stimulation as well.

Not All Smooth Sailing

The Gigi 3 has become one of my favorite toys for a quickie masturbation session. That being said, it definitely has some noticeable downsides, especially for people like me, who love deep, thrusting penetration. Because I had to insert the Gigi 3 so far inside to get the vibrations where I wanted them, the buttons on the handle were essentially inside my labia. If I needed to adjust the placement, I often hit the control buttons, changing the vibration pattern or the intensity. This definitely threw me off my groove multiple times. And with the handle nearly in my vagina, I found it hard to grip it to thrust the toy in and out. I ended up putting my index and middle finger on the bottom of the handle, pushing it in, and letting it come out a little on its own to create the thrusts I like. I found myself really wishing the Gigi 3 had a ring-shaped handle so I could grip and thrust with it more easily.

App Extras

The LELO app was easy to set up, and easy to use once I got the hang of it. Once connected, you can tip or turn your phone to adjust the intensity and use buttons in the app to change the vibration pattern. The app also unlocks two additional vibration patterns, which is pretty cool. But as someone who watches porn on my phone while I masturbate, I found the app more annoying than anything else. For me, it was much easier to use the onboard buttons, even though they were kind of hard to access when the vibrator was fully inserted.

Design

LELO Gigi 3 Design

If nothing else, the LELO Gigi 3 is beautiful. The sleek design, with curves in all the right places, gives the Gigi 3 the elegant look of a luxury vibrator, which is good because the price point certainly puts it in the luxury category. The smooth, body-safe silicone felt almost silky, and it slid in like a dream. The shaft is slightly curved, which is not only perfect for G-spot stimulation, but also made it easier for me to hold when I used it as a clitoral vibrator. While most G-spot vibrators have a conical tip to create targeted vibrations right on the G-spot, the Gigi 3's round, flattened tip provides a large surface area that creates vibrations across a wider area. The large surface area of the flat tip was also lovely for clitoral stimulation. All that being said, the size of the Gigi is its biggest drawback. To get internal sensation where I wanted it, I had to insert almost the entire vibrator, including the handle, making the control buttons difficult to access.

Ease of Use

LELO Gigi 3 Ease of Use

Overall, the Gigi 3 was fairly easy to use. There were only three buttons — one to turn it on and change the vibration settings, one above it to increase intensity, and one below it to decrease intensity. Like many vibrators, the power button needed to be held for a few seconds to turn it off or on, which is a great way to ensure you don't accidentally turn it off if you bump the buttons during use. So, using the Gigi 3 is as easy as turning to on, finding the vibration pattern you want with the middle button, and using the other buttons to adjust the intensity. The difficulty I ran into with using the Gigi 3 was the handle. Once inserted, there's barely a handle to hold onto, and unless putting it in and just leaving it there is enough for you, you might have trouble adjusting the vibe or creating the sensation you need to orgasm. The Gigi 3 probably isn't the vibrator for people with grip issues, arthritis in their hands or wrists, or carpal tunnel, especially if you like deep penetration. However, I did find it incredibly easy to use as a clitoral vibrator, and the design made it a lot easier on my hands and wrists than traditional clitoral vibrators. One of the issues I often have with bullet vibrators is the flat design puts my wrist at an angle when I'm pressing it onto my clit. But the Gigi 3 eliminated this issue with its curved shaft.

Quality

LELO Gigi 3 Quality

LELO is known for their quality, and the Gigi 3 is no exception. This vibrator looks great, feels amazing, and seems pretty durable. Though I haven't had it for long, it's holding up well to very regular use. And I haven't had any issues with it turning off, randomly changing settings, or getting less powerful throughout a session. Though it's definitely not silent, it's not loud either. And it's definitely quieter than some of the bigger vibrators I have even though it provides about the same levels of vibrational intensity.

Price

LELO Gigi 3 Price

Even for the luxury market, the Gigi 3 is on the pricey side for a G-spot vibrator. Many of the other vibrators around the same price point provide some additional features that the Gigi 3 lacks like simultaneous clitoral stimulation, thrusting, a rotating head, or a combination of these features. Though the Gigi 3 can be used for both G-spot and clitoral stimulation, meaning you don't need to buy two different vibrators, similar luxury G-spot vibrators offer the same functionality at lower price point. The one thing that really sets the Gigi apart is it's aesthetics. Compared to other G-spot vibrators in the same price range, the Gigi is definitely more elegantly and gracefully designed. If you want an aesthetically pleasing vibrator, the Gigi 3's design alone is worth the price. Plus, the price is pretty standard for a LELO vibrator. So, if you already have a LELO vibe that you absolutely love, and you're willing to splurge, you probably won't be disappointed with the Gigi 3.

Performance

LELO Gigi 3 Performance

Overall, the Gigi 3 is a great G-spot and clitoral vibrator. The disc-shaped tip creates vibrations over a wider surface area than a typical G-spot vibrator and for me, this led to not only incredible G-spot stimulation, but stimulation throughout my vagina, especially when the I cranked up the intensity. This uniquely-shaped tip also made for some intense clitoral stimulation. Instead of having pinpoint vibrations like with a bullet vibe, I could press the flattened disc at the top on my clitoral hood and get powerful vibrations all through the area. Though the Gigi 3 offers a wide variety of vibration patterns and intensities, I found myself wishing it had more settings for continuous, steady vibrations as opposed to pulsing vibrations or vibration patterns that varied in intensity. Personally, I need steady, intense vibration to cum, and while the Gigi had settings that accommodated this, I was limited to three out of the vibrator's eight vibration patterns. The vibration intensities were perfect for me, though. They were powerful enough to get me going and send me over the edge, but they weren't so powerful that I got overstimulated. The battery charged fairly quickly, and so far, it's lasted through multiple, intense sessions.

Packaging

LELO Gigi 3 Packaging

The Gigi 3 came in a discreet, elegant black box that matches the luxury status of the vibrator itself. And there were some bonuses — a very nice toy storage bag and a packet of LELO branded lube. I was surprised to find a card in there as well, which contained a QR code for info on the warranty and returning the vibrator if anything went wrong. LELO definitely goes the extra mile to make sure you get the most out of your purchase. There was also a little pamphlet explaining how to use, clean, and store the toy as well as how to set up the app. The instructions were straightforward and easy to follow.

Materials and care

LELO Gigi 3 Materials and care

This vibrator is clearly made of high-quality materials. The silky smooth non-porous, body-safe silicone on the shaft is unlike the texture of any of the other toys I have. The vibrator is light at just over 3oz, but it has enough weight to make it feel sturdy. And it's definitely light enough to take anywhere and everywhere. The Gigi 3 is also 100% waterproof, which means it can go in the bath or shower with you, and it's easy to clean. After use, just rinse it with some warm water and soap, then either leave it out to air dry or pat it dry with a clean towel. Though the Gigi 3 doesn't come with its own storage bag or box, it's small enough to fit into any bag or box you already have for storing your toys.
