Liv has been on my wish list since the moment I laid eyes on her. The slightly curved shaft, the clean lines of the entire toy, and of course the lime green color. I finally decided I needed to just go for it and try her out. Liv did not let me down, I love her every bit as much in reality as I did in my dreams.

She's made from a super smooth silicone with only the slightest amount of drag. Her shaft is firm and is not flexible at all. This allows for better G-Spot stimulation. If you need lubricant with Liv I recommend using only a small amount since too much can make her feel even smaller than she is. Also make sure to only use water based lubricant with Liv.

Liv is small, yes. At first I thought that would be a bit problematic. While my g-spot is not in all that deep, it does require a hook to access. Liv only has 4 inches of insertable length, and 1 and 1/8th in diameter. This makes her quite a bit larger than a finger, but smaller than some other G-Spot toys. Now, considering that I normally need two fingers for a manual G-Spot orgasm I was a bit concerned not only about the length but also the diameter. But, the Liv proves that the small can still be mighty, and with a bit of work she can get the job done. (Well, almost..it depends on what the "job" is...but more on that later.) She also of course feels wonderful on the clitoris and can easily bring me to clitoral orgasm.

Now onto Liv's functions and controls. Live has a control panel with a surrounding lighted ring. You press the to increase the vibrations, and of course the - to decrease them. Liv isn't a crazy powerful vibrator, but the vibrations are deep and satisfying. She also isn't exactly weak by any means and she's almost silent. Liv also has some nice pulsations and patterns. Pressing the buttons at the top and bottom of the control panel will cycle you through these. First is a steady slow pulsation, followed by a faster pulsation, and then a extremely fast pulsation that is excellent when near orgasm. Next we have a rollercoaster pattern, which isn't exactly the best I've ever tried, but it does still drive me crazy...like most rollercoaster patterns do. The intensity of the vibrations can be adjusted in the patterns by using the and - buttons. This is a nice touch in case you like patterns but want softer vibrations.

Liv also has a travel lock. Just hold down the entire control pad for about 5 seconds and you don't have to worry about her accidentally turned on when storing her. To unlock just hold down the whole panel again for a few seconds. She blinks when locking and when unlocking to let you know.

Liv is rechargeable, and comes with her own charger. She charges pretty quickly and her light glows red if she is running low on batteries. I've only had to charge her once so far, and trust me Liv has been seeing a lot of action over the past week. She's still going strong and I'll be able to get at least a few more uses out of her before she needs to be charged again.

She's not waterproof, so take care not to get her wet even when cleaning. I've found the best bet is to use a wash cloth to clean her with and then a slightly damp but mostly dry cloth to wipe off the controls. The controls do have a tendency to get a bit messy while using the Liv since she herself is so small and the full length of her insertable shaft is needed. I haven't had any issue with any kind of fluids from use seeping into her controls though, so I'm not all that concerned.

When not using Liv you can store her in the white pouch that she comes in, or also in the beautiful black box that Lelo offers. I personally just keep her in a toy box with my other silicone toys, but the pouch would make a wonderful travel case. Liv is relatively discreet since she's not fully phallic shaped. But, if someone comes across her they will most likely know what she is for, so keep that in mind.

Liv cannot just be inserted and left to provide great G-Spot stimulation. At least not for me. If I just insert her and turn up the vibrations it's quite pleasurable, but it won't get me any kind of G-Spot stimulation. But, if I move her back and forth from side to side or angle her back and forth in a rocking motion, we start to get somewhere. Thrusting is fun, but she's a bit too short to get too much enjoyment there. It does feel wonderful at the vaginal opening this way though. By far my best success with Liv has been from wildly shaking her from side to side. It's truly awesome like this and I often find myself tilting my head back and closing my eyes. I can't concentrate on anything else at that point, the world is just gone and it's just me and Liv. Heck, I can't even read erotica when I do that..I think I might even forget how to read!

Now, while I have gotten some extreme vaginal and G-Spot fun from Liv, she has not made me squirt. I can't blame her for this though, that's something that doesn't happen for me on my own..and only a few times with my husband. I think Liv might be a bit too small to help me learn how to squirt on my own, but she's amazingly fun none the less.
