Review - Liv

Babeland sent me the Liv vibrator by Lelo several weeks ago and it has been making regular, very successful appearances in the bedroom ever since. It arrived beautifully packaged complete with satin storage pouch and I just knew it was going to be a quality toy. If I had to choose one word to describe the Liv it would be stylish.

It’s made from silicone (so no silicone lube), is blue and white with a stainless steel band separating the “playing” end from the “control” end. The Liv is 4” x 3/4", not large but a good size and it has a lovely curve which is good for clitoral stimulation as well as insertion. The controls are simple, plus/minus for speed and up/down to change settings, they also light up so they are very easy to see.

It’s a rechargeable vibrator so the first thing to do is plug it in and wait, patiently, for it to charge. Once charged the Liv shows a steady light and will also prompt you to re-charge when the battery is running low with a red light. Great idea! The charger plugs in to the tip of the white end and the hole is covered by a neat tab once it’s charged. If you’re in the UK you will need an adaptor because it’s a two pin plug. Once charged it does last for a good while before needing a recharge and I really like the idea of no batteries.

There are five different vibration programs, continuous, 3 interval pulsations and a wave pulsation as well as the various speeds. None of the settings give out really intense vibrations but they are all very good and certainly stimulating in all the right ways. The Liv is also really quiet, which as ever is an absolute must for any vibrator in our house, loud, rattles are just too distracting.

I love this vibrator because it is so well designed, it looks good and feels good to both control and receive. It is certainly a welcome addition to my toy box and will continue to make regular trips out of the box and into the action.
