I use the Lily when I have the evening to myself, curled up with some good porn or erotica. Using it is a different experience from the other vibes rattling around in my toybox; while I may reach for a pocket-rocket or my Hitachi for the quick-and-dirty sessions, when I feel like taking my time the Lily is definitely my go-to.

As with other Lelo toys, the Lily is presented in a beautiful black box. The Lily's box is smaller than others, making it perfectly sized to use as a bed-side condom storage box. In the box are the toy itself, a small satin storage bag, a charger, and an easy-to-use instruction manual.

The Lily looks like a real treasure. It is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, and with its gentle curves and elegant controls you may never want to put it away. The buttons light up when pressed, and indicate the charge level of your toy. When the lights are red, it means that it is out of battery.

The silky-smooth surface of the Lily is just begging you to touch it. The slightly curved tip seems to find its own way to the clit and creates an angle that makes the toy very comfortable to hold. The speed of vibration can be adjusted with the buttons; the right button increases vibration while the left-button decreases it. The top speed of vibration is fairly strong, though for my tastes it could be stronger.

The Lily is quiet enough that I am comfortable using it while someone is in the next room. It is actually discreet enough that I don't mind leaving it out on the bedside table where my friends might see it. For travel, note that the Lily is lockable: press and hold both buttons at the same time to lock so that it won't turn on accidentally, press and hold again when you're ready to use it again.

This toy is rechargeable, which is one of its best features. The charger for the Lily also fits and charges my Gigi. As with the Gigi, the Lily may be cleaned with soap and water, making sure to keep water out of the charging plug hole.

Since I moved in with my boy, the Lily hasn't seen a lot of use, but it has been one of my favorites for good, quality alone-time.
