Pros
Great body-safe materials Waterproof Good stimulation
Cons
The noise - this is the only deterrent I can think of
The Lia Pleaser 1 is meant to give you mindblowing, toe-clenching G-spot orgasms - and in fact this toy does not disappoint. Though it may not be the best out there on the market for G-spot stimulation, It certainly hit all of my spots beautifully. I like to use this for clitoral stimulation as well as G-spot stimulation. However, I wouldn't say this is great for pinpoint stimulation. This product would be perfect for any beginners, or anyone who can't take a lot of girth or just doesn't prefer a girthy toy; that type of person will really be pleased (pun intended). Lia is very very capable. More advanced users might be a bit underwhelmed by its small size, but in a way I really enjoyed the lack of girth; it's a nice change of pace from other G-spot vibes out there.
Lia is made of body-safe silicone and is completely waterproof, so she can be enjoyed freely in the tub or shower, which comes in handy because she is super loud - like, ridiculously loud. I've actually never heard a toy this loud, but then again, I am new. So I wouldn't really recommend this toy for anyone who lives with a bunch of people or is just looking for discretion. I also wouldn't recommend using this for anal; it's not safe with its lack of a flared base.
Lia's made of high-quality silicone and is super velvety and cushy, yet firm at the same time. I really like the feel of this toy. It has raised circles that feel really superb against your lady bits; however, they also make cleaning a little bit harder - not by much, though. It's only really pliable at the base where most of the vibrations are concentrated. Lia Pleaser 1's texture mimics that of a tentacle, and I'm not really into the whole tentacle trend going on right now, but I have to say it was a lovely sensation.
Lia is phthalates-free, latex-free, non-porous, hypoallergenic, and is made of food-grade materials.
There was a slight smell when I first received this toy, but after washing thoroughly, it faded. I didn't notice any taste though.
I thought the design of this toy was really great. I loved how they did the tentacle thing, but also mimicked a realistic head; it made it more unique as opposed to if they went with the tentacle theme all the way and made the tip pointed. The shape felt really great, unlike anything I'd experienced before in a G-spot toy. The total length is 8 3/4 inches and the insertable length of this toy measures over 6 inches. The girth of this toy is quite thin, at 4 3/4 inches in circumference, which (like I said) is great for beginners.
I wouldn't say Lia is very discreet and I wouldn't really call her travel-friendly, due to her volume being so loud.
The controls on the Lia are fairly easy to use, although you might get confused during play and turn the toy off instead of switching to one of the 10 vibration patterns, which - by the way - guarantee that anyone can find a vibration that suits them. The vibrations are mainly located in the shaft and surrounding area; I kind of enjoy this because you usually don't see that very often - the vibrations are usually located at the bottom or throughout the whole toy, but that's not so in this case. Again, I need to press on the biggest issue I have with this toy: it's so damn loud! I don't really understand it, but once you get past the initial shock it's okay. It's not really for people who need to be discreet though.
Lia Pleaser 1 is fully waterproof and performs fairly well. I noticed that the vibrations sort of slowed down a bit when in water though.
The Lia Pleaser 1 cleans like a dream. I just ran it under some warm water with some mild soap and the excellent silicone was clean as a whistle. For the ridges I just carefully ran my finger over them to get them extra nice and clean. I keep my Lia in the box it came in and I put it in my chest that sits at the end of my bed. I wouldn't recommend storing it uncovered with another silicone toy as the silicone may rub together and begin to degrade. Just wrap them up and you'll be fine.
As shown above, it comes in a clear plastic package, with lots of information about the toy and all of its features, and it also includes a little instruction manual/safety guide.
From the moment I received this, I had high hopes. Despite the ferocious sound it produces, this was a really great toy. When I first used it, I was a little surprised at how great the slim body of this toy felt inside of me. I'm very much used to picking a more girthy toy, but I figured I would give this a shot and I'm glad I did. I think I'm not going to use it with the vibrations though. It makes a superb dildo.

Follow-up commentaryI don't like it anymore5 days after original review
Though this toy feels lovely as just a dildo, I can't get past the noise and the vibrations aren't really up to par. It's honestly better at teasing my clit than it is at giving a G-Spot orgasm. This might be great for some people, but I think I need something more firm at the tip and less pliable.
I really wish this would have worked better for me. I still recommend it to beginners who prefer a more gentle approach though.
