Oh, the Life by Leaf. I have lusted after this silicone beauty since it was debuted here at Eden and I finally got my paws on it after the fine folks here hooked me up for my milestone review. (WOO! Thanks guys!)

Let us take a moment to see just why I lusted after it so badly, shall we?

First of all, it is gorgeous, compact, easy to use, and bright green! It is a simple shape - the shape of a leaf in fact. It has a broad body and a perfectly pointed tip which allows for more, or less, pinpoint stimulation depending on your needs. The body is firm and covered in buttery soft silicone. The pointed tip has some flex to it so you can use the pressure you desire without hurting your bits. You can use it as a lay on toy, angle the tip, or even happily slide it between you and your partner during PIV sex for a little added pleasure. The vibrations are strongest at the tip of the toy and travel well throughout the body. However, being that they are not overly buzzy, you don't get numb fingers in an instant. Life is not an internal toy and should certainly not be used for anal insertion.

Life has just one button. That is it. There are no bells and whistles here. To turn it on, press the button and the vibrations start at a very low rumble. Want to increase the vibrations? No problem! Just hold that button down and feel the Life come to life in your hands. The longer you hold that button down, the stronger the vibrations get. As they get higher, there is a dim, green light that flashes under the button to tell you it is increasing. When it hits the highest level, it will stop flashing. You just have to let it go when it gets to the speed you like.

To turn it off, simply push the button down quickly, one time, and it will halt. The vibrations are only steady, low and slowly rev up to high, and are rumbly at all levels. It is pretty fantastic for the girl (like me) that is just not that big into patterns. It is also really quiet and cannot be heard at all from under a blanket.

Life is both rechargeable and waterproof. You can submerge it without problem which is great for a little fun in the tub or shower. The charging port seals itself right up when the charger is not in it so there is no need to worry that water will get in there.

Life comes with its own charger that even carries the Leaf symbol on it (great for those of us that get our chargers mixed up all the time in the toy box.) On a single charge, Life can run up to 2 hours and 40 minutes. It is suggested the first time you charge it you do so for 3 hours, but after that, you can charge it whenever you wish. The battery does not have to be drained to safely charge it again. While charging, the light will flash red and when it is finished, it will stop flashing.

Life even has a lock feature. To enable it, from the off position, simply press the button 3 times in a row (rather quickly). This will lock your device making it safe for storage or travel without worry that it will turn on. To turn it back on, just do the same 1-2-3 push of the button and the green light will quickly flash telling you it is ready to go.

Being waterproof you can easily clean it up with soap and water, toy cleaner or give it a good cleaning with a 10% bleach solution. Do not attempt to put this in the dishwasher because you can, and probably will, ruin the motor. Only use waterbased lube with Life and it comes with a perfect, natural canvas storage pouch that is big enough to store both the toy and charger in it without a problem. It even has a 1 year limited warranty if it should suddenly stop working. We always love this.

I am just in love with Life. I love nothing more than a good, rumbly, external toy and I got it with this one. With both the pinpoint tip and the broader body, you can really vary the stimulation it gives you. I truly recommend this for anyone that is looking for a good external toy. Yes it is pricey, but I promise it would be worth every penny.
