I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing a few LELO toys at this point including the Nea, Gigi, and Bo (review coming soon). So, when Good Vibrations offered me the chance to try out the Mia, I thought I would pass the toy along to my gorgeous girlfriend Ariel so she could weigh in on this vibrator. Here is her report.

I love love love the design of this one. The size is unobtrusive and the shape is organic, but understated.
The color (pale pink) is pretty and it is fashioned from a nice material that is smooth and feels great against skin my skin.  Furthermore, it charges via USB! When I travel, I like to carry only items that charge with the
usb, so I don’t need extra cords and all that carry-on silliness so it makes this super convenient for me. Plus, I never have to worry about losing the cord. the lock function is extra-awesome, especially considering (what with the small size and the ubs charging and all) that folks might want to take this traveling with them. No more vibrating purses!

But of course it has to work well to be worthwhile, right? I was amazed at how strong the vibrations were for the size of the Mia. It is also remarkably quiet.  The vibe patterns and controls were pretty impressive – there are a large number of settings. I love lust need want the intermittent vibe patterns but I wish they came in different intensities.  I’m not into the buzzing always-on settings much, but those are the only ones
with softer intensities. I ended up simulating the intermittent setting myself, just pressing it against my clit then removing it.  I also wish that it would start up in the same mode it was on when I shut it off, so I could just flat-out skip the “always-on” setting, and so I could quickly resume what I’m doing if I get interrupted.
I found that the buttons are smooth and lovely to touch; however, it can be hard to hit the right button in the moment, especally when you have it in a tight space (such as between two bodies).

All in, I really like the design and idea behind the Mia.  Sadly, it’s not the just-right vibe for me, but it’s perfect for anyone looking for a high-quality pocket size vibe with all the bells and whistles.

The LELO GiGi from VibeReview

LELO is one of the few, cherished high-end sex toy manufacturers that lovers of excellent toys ooh and ahh over. I was sold on LELO when I tried out the Nea and was excited to try the Gigi, their insertable g-spot vibrator.

Right off the bat, I’ll admit that LELO toys come with a steep pricetag. But, what do you get for that price? A product that is more than worth it, I’d say. The Gigi is rechargeable and runs for several hours on a single charge. It has multiple speeds and functions from a soft flutter to a pulsating wave. The sensations available surpass those of an ordinary vibrator. Additionally, the Gigi is made of fantastic, body-friendly materials like silicone.

I found the controls on the Gigi to be ergonomically placed and easy to use even in the heat of the moment. The shape of the toy really hits the spot for me. I’ve tried some more intense g-spot vibes and they have their place in my life, but the Gigi is great for a slow, langorous buildup to an intense release.

I also found that the shape and the handle make the Gigi great little wand for applying clit stimulation to a partner. I recently found myself in the delicious position of pressing the Gigi against Ariel’s clit while Jay was inside her and she rode him on top. The handle is good about supressing some of the vibrations so you can focus on the nice feelings the head is providing instead of considering if your hand is about to go numb.

The Gigi is an impeccably designed creation that I am thrilled to have in my toybox. It is one of the ones that I grab without hesitation when packing a weekend bag. I delight in seeing the eyes of a new partner light up when I show them this lovely and functional toy.

Some situations beg for subtlety. Vibrations on my clitoris tend to be one of them.

I had heard amazing things about Lelo products and knew was expecting big things from this toy. The Nea has amazing packaging that had be instantly intrigued.  It came in a vivid purple outer box and a black display box that is perfect for leaving on the nightstand for storing the toy.

Taking the small vibrator out of the box I was surprised by its small size and how lightweight it was. The Nea has a gorgeous smooth finish that rests in my hand beautifully. It is clearly intended as a sensual experience; this is a toy that begs to be caressed as much as it deserves to caress you.

But while design can create a lovely mood and instill a feeling of luxury, what really matters is how well it works, right? Well, it felt great.

People that are fans of deep and very intense vibrations may be disappointed by the Nea but if you like light teasing, you are in for a treat. The Nea has several different speeds and 5 programs for vibration patterns. The vary from quick bursts of buzzing to a wave pattern that brings the intensity up and down. I enjoyed the wave for teasing myself and getting going and the fastest set of bursts to take me over the edge.

Beyond the different vibration settings, there are several other things that set this toy aside as outstanding. First of all, it is made of safe materials that can be properly cleaned, this is an important thing to think about in any sex toy. Second it is rechargeable and has a long battery life. I wish my cell phone could perform this well for so long on such a short charge. If the Nea had a GPS it would be officially sexier than my iPhone. Finally, the construction is very unique and well-thought out. The vibrations seem to be focused into the tip so holding it doesn’t make my hand numb and the shape is very pleasant to hold onto.

The Nea has become my go-to toy for clitoral stimulation. When I’m deciding what to toss in the toy bag for a play party or weekend away, it always comes along. It is lovely, discreet, and produces really unique sensations.
