This vibe is made ergonomically. It can be used for g-spot stimulation quite effectively but it is also quite good for clitoral stimulation. It could be used as a simple massager but I think using it on soar muscles sort of makes it lose its appeal as a luxury toy. If ever used for anal stimulation I recommend you be cautious as the toy doesn't have enough flange to be inserted without fear of losing it.

If you're a beginner or an oldie, this vibe is for everyone. I think I would suggest this especially to beginners as it is probably the first and only traditional vibe any newbie would ever have to get.

It cannot be used in the bathtub or shower so look elsewhere if you're looking for something waterproof. Otherwise you can pretty much use it anywhere you want to. In the car (passenger seat!), hotel, or at home, this vibe goes where you go! If you have roommates or you live on campus this vibe is excellent as it is quite discreet in terms of the noise it emits.

The Liv is made with amazing silicone by LELO! I love the smooth texture of the silicone. It is simply amazing to feel it against a clean shaved pussy. It is one of the silkiest silicones on the market.

It is completely smooth without any grooves or bulges. It retains no smell and has no taste. The texture is simple enough to be enjoyed by many users. However if you like textured toys this might not have the texture you may be looking for as it is quite smooth.

The handle is made of plastic and the recharge port has a small flap of silicone to protect the opening. The silicone part is quite rigid and has pretty much no give to it.

It does require a bit of lube for insertion in my case. If you use lube I would suggest waterbased, as silicone based lube can damage the surface of the silicone making it permanently tacky.

The design on this toy is the key feature why I love the Liv to bits.

The slight curve makes it so easy to stimulate my g-spot. But this curve also helps me when I stimulate my clit. The shape makes it easier to hold onto the toy.

In terms of size, it isn't very girthy. I think it is pretty much on the average size when it comes to vibes. Unless you're virgin you won't have any difficulties using this toy.

This toy is very suitable for travel. As long as you bring the recharging port and an adapter depending on where you're going. It isn't easy to hide in a small purse but would do fine in a luggage bag. If someone were to see it they could easily infer it's purpose/use so in a sense it is not discreet.

There is a round control pad with an up/down arrow and +/- on either sides of the pad.

To turn it on you must press the right button (+) once and continue to press to go up to the desired strength. There are 7 levels of vibration strength.

The patterns are quite simple. The first three are quick slow pulse, medium pulse, and quick pulse. Then the final pattern is a wave like vibration. I prefer constant vibration.

The vibrations are deep thuddy kinds of vibrations. The vibrator is amazingly quiet compared to battery powered toys I have. I love that the Liv is rechargable. Once the batteries are dead you have the LED light turn red and eventually it stops working. It did invariably stopped working on me once. Recharging the Liv generally takes two hours.

The vibrations always remain constant! The vibes don't slowly die out.

The Liv is NOT waterproof. Which is sort of disappointing. I love my Liv and wish I could take her in the shower with me. I have to be careful during use also because I am an avid squirter and once the flow starts I have to make sure my Liv isn't soaked.

The Liv is easy to care for.

I keep mine in its box so it doesn't really get full of lint or hairs. It comes with a satiny storage pouch if anyone prefers those.

When I wash Liv I use water and a mild soap and its important to be careful not to get any water in the charging port on the end of the plastic handle. I usually tend to rinse only the silicone end of the to and avoid getting water to close to he handle as there is a little seem between them where water could get in.

This toy is so easy to use and so good at what it does. I really love my Liv and use it all the time as my go to vibe. It is such a nice shade of pink, its so soft and powerful enough to get me off.

I do dislike when I accidentally hit the circular control pad and change the speed or pattern. It has happened that I changed it at the brink of orgasm and it totally ruined it for me. It seems though that you get used to knowing how to handle the toy so that your fingers arent going to invariably hit the pad.

I also dislike knowing I have to recharge it at the last minute. I was using it once during sex with my partner and I was so disappointed when it died on me because it is such a quiet vibe compared to my other toys. I find it distracting using louder vibes when I have sex with my partner.

These are just personal little things I experienced with the Liv but these do not detract from the toy itself. I am totally enamored of this toy.
