Use

Life by Leaf is an adorable, palm sized, powerful, 100% silicone, waterproof clitoral vibrator. This little leaf packs a lot of power and has multiple speeds making it great for just about anyone. The curved shape allows it to be used solo or with a partner, it can also be used during intercourse by either holding it yourself or placing it between your bodies. While it is designed or clitoral stimulation, it can also be used to tease other areas such as the nipples or incorporate it into oral by teasing his parts with it.
It is small enough to travel with and even has a travel lock feature so it won't turn on while inside your purse, bag, suitcase, ect.
Life is pretty discreet and innocent looking, I don't think people would suspect it is a sex toy if the came across it.

Material / Texture

Life is made of luxurious, 100% body safe silicone that rates a 10 on Eden's safety scale. The silicone is non-porous, hypoallergenic, latex and phthalates free.
Leaf's silicone seems to be a bit more plush compared to Je Joue's (my favorite) and has a bit more drag to it which can be fixed easily with some water based lubricant if it is a problem for you. It is very soft and velvety to the touch; it feels amazing! There is a visible seem but it can't be felt during use and isn't a problem.
There is no texture to this; just smooth, velvety silicone all around. This makes it perfect for any user.
Leaf is pretty solid and doesn't have any give except for just a bit at the thin end; the tip is just slightly flexible.
Life doesn't have any smell to it at all.

Design / Shape / Size

All of the Leaf products are shaped to resemble none other than a leaf! Life reminds me of the leaves you drew on flower back in grade school. There are different shapes, this one seems to be thinner than the others and is why I chose it. It has a slight curve that allows it to fit perfectly into the palm of your hand no matter which way you hold it.
The top has a thinner, rounded tip where the bottom is more broad meaning you can choose to have pinpoint stimulation or broader stimulation.
The size also makes it great to place between you and your partner during intercourse with him on top.
The measurements are:
Length: 4 1/4"
Circumference: 4 1/2"
Diameter: 1 1/2"
It is easy to hide and small enough to travel with (as mentioned previously).
This toy is meant for external stimulation and shouldn't be inserted, especially anally!

Here it is compared to Je Joue's Mimi on both sides:

Back:

And in my hand:

It's just the right size!

Functions / Performance / Controls

Life is pretty simple to use as there is only one button to control it all.
Press the button once and hold down to turn it on and reach the speed that you desire. Once you get to the speed you like, release the button. Press the button again to turn it off. There is no way to cycle down in speed, only up. If you want to slow things down then you have to turn the toy off and start from the beginning.
The button is conveniently located just slightly below the middle of the vibe and easy to access no matter how you hold it. You can feel the slight bump of the button making it easy to figure out without looking.

Life is rechargeable, the charging port is located on the back just below the middle of the vibe. When sticking the charger into the port, you will want to make sure you sort of feel it "click", you may think you are being too hard with it but if you don't feel that, it won't be plugged in right and won't charge. A red LED light will come on to let you know it is charging. When it is fully charged, the light will turn off.

The manual says to charge it for at least 3 hours prior to use but mine didn't take nearly that long to get a full charge. How long the charge will last depends on what level you use your toy on the most. You do not have to fully drain the battery to charge it again do to it having a lithium polymer battery; you can charge it whenever you want!

The vibrations feel deep and buzzy to me. It isn't as strong as Mimi, but pretty darn close! That thinner, pointed tip makes it a great switch up from the broader, rounded tip of Mimi. The vibrations can be felt throughout the entire leaf and can lead to your hand feeling buzzy. The vibrations do appear to be strongest in the thinner end.

For as much power as this little leaf has it is pretty quiet, you won't hear it outside of a closed door.

Life is waterproof but I don't have any experience with it in the water.

There is a travel lock feature so it won't turn on while being toted around. To lock it, press the button 3 times very quickly. The first press will cause the toy to start but by quickly pressing it 2 more times will lock it. This can take a couple tries to get. Press the button quickly 3 times to unlock it. This may also take a couple tries. A light will come on for a couple seconds both when the toy is locked and when the toy is unlocked.

Care and Maintenance

Cleaning for Life is pretty easy, just some mild soap and water will do the trick but you can also use toy cleaner, wipes. This toy is NOT safe for cleaning in the dishwasher or boiling.

Life is a hair magnet and collects other small particles easily, so you will want to store it in the box it came in or in the storage bag that came with it.

As mentioned earlier, only use water based lubricant with this toy. The manual says not to store it where it will come into contact with similar materials or products. To be on the safe side, I store mine in the bag.

Packaging

I usually have photos of the packaging in my reviews, but in an attempt to hide my "evidence", I threw the box out and forgot to take a picture. The box was tasteful and discreet, not something embarrassing or sexual and definitely something you could gift to someone.
Inside the box is the toy, the charger and instruction manual. There is information in the manual for a limited 1yr warranty.

Here it is with the nice storage bag that came with it:

Experience

I really love the unique shape of this particular leaf. It fits so nicely in my hand and I am able to cup it comfortably no matter which end I use for stimulation. I like how you can get pinpoint stimulation from one end and then switch it up quickly by turning it around and using the broader, rounded end.
Life is also great to use during intercourse by placing it between your bodies while he is on top. It is also easy to hold onto in other positions.
Follow-up commentary
I still like this vibe. It is easy to use and I like the simplicity of just holding the button in to increase strength. The only con one might find is that you have to turn the vibe off in order to decrease the speed. But it's so easy to shut off and starts up right away, so for the strength and quality, it isn't that big of a deal.
