The LELO Liv is the little sister to the rest of the LELO vibrator line but don't let her petite size fool you, she is packed full of intense multi-speed vibrations and multi-functions that any user can find a setting to fulfill their pleasure needs. Her smooth, velvety, silicone, firm, curved shaft is great for pinpoint stimulation of the g-spot and clitoris and also makes her great for thrusting. She is surprisingly quiet for how strong she is and she is rechargeable!
Liv is a sleek, velvety, silicone, powerful luxury vibe; especially for those that prefer the less girth than the Mona, Elise and Iris. She has a nice slight curve tapering off into a rounded tip making her perfect for g-spot stimulation. She has enough power in her tip to excite the clitoris and her smooth seamless texture feels great on contact with skin, when lubricant is applied she glides right in. Liv is intended for vaginal use but could be use to massage other parts of the outer body along with the inner male prostate, but lacking in a flared base would take caution when using her for anal play. Liv is multi-functional and multi-speed making it easy for her to please practically anyone. She is perfect for solo play but can easily spice up foreplay when used by a couple. Liv is also pretty quiet for as powerful as she is which is important to a lot of users. She has a locking feature making her great for travel.
The shaft of Liv is made of a sleek, seamless, velvety soft yet firm silicone allowing her to glide easily into and around the body when lubrication is applied. Liv's texture is perfect for any level of experience with sex toys.
Her base/control panel is made of plastic along with the round 4-way navigation button and backlight LED. Liv doesn't have any unpleasant scent or taste. She is a pleasure to touch. The silicone adds for a bit of drag but extra lubricant takes care of that if it is an issue for you.
Liv's materials are: PC-ABS, body safe silicone, stainless steel band separating the plastic handle and silicone shaft. She is hypo-allergenic, latex free, non-porous and phthalates free.
Liv has a great curve making her main purpose as an internal vaginal g-spot vibrator perfect. Her curve tapers into a rounded smooth tip for pinpoint accuracy of both the g-spot and the clitoris. Liv is the little sister to LELO's Elsie, Mona and Iris and is noticeably smaller in comparison to the other three which can be a positive or a negative depending how how thick and long you prefer your toys.
Her smaller sleek size makes her non-intimidating and great for beginners as well as for advanced users that prefer the less girthy toys. Her shape worked great for me and I was able to locate my g-spot but I prefer to use her as a thrusting and clitoral vibrator as I am not a fan of direct g-spot stimulation.
Liv is a decent size that she can be slipped into your bag or purse when inside of her protective silk storage bag but not so much discreet in her looks and is an obvious vibrator.
Liv's measurements are:
Length: 7"
Insertable length: 4 1/2"
Circumference: 3 3/4"
Diameter: 1 1/8"
So size and girth queens, take note of that!
Liv has a powerful range of intensity measuring from barely noticeable to intense rumbly vibrations and is multi-functional featuring patterns of escalating, pulsating, rollercoaster and steady vibrating.
Liv has a charging port located on the bottom of the base that has a silicone cover. The LED light will blink to indicate that she is charging and will give off a steady, constant glow when fully charged. She requires two hours charging for about four hours of play. Do not leave her plugged in for more than twenty-four hours. When Liv needs to be charged her LED will glow red when a button is pushed.
To turn Liv on press down on the + to start her up and continue to hold down until you find your level of vibration that suits you. Pressing the - will decrease the vibration intensity. To lock, hold down the complete interface (press in the middle of the button) for five seconds, she will light up and go dark. To unlock, repeat the step until the LED lights up.
For the stimulation modes press the up or down arrow to move through the modes which are:
1. Continuous vibration
2. Extended interval pulsation
3. Intermediate interval pulsation
4. Short interval pulsation
5. Wave pulsation
Liv's controls are easy to learn and use. Her vibrations are felt all throughout her entire body which on the most intense level can cause the hand to feel buzzy but are great for people looking for all over vibration coverage in their toys. She is very powerful but not a powerhouse 5 vroom vibrator.
With her 5 functions and low to very intense power she is suitable for any user, beginning or experienced.
I chose Liv for her variety and being able to control just how low or intense I want my vibrations as I find that some toys I want just a little more or slightly less but with Liv I can get complete satisfaction.
For as powerful as Liv is she is more quiet than most of the highly intense vibrators on the market. At her most intense level she cannot be heard outside of a blanket or closed door.
Liv is not waterproof so people wanting a toy they can take into the bathroom with them need to be aware of this. This is also important to know so you take care when cleaning her if you choose to use soap and water being careful not to get water into the charging port.
Liv is not water proof so if you choose to clean her with soap and water you need to be careful around the charging port. To be on the safe side I would use a spray toy cleaner or wipes, I choose to use wipes.
Liv is made of silicone so DO NOT use lubricants that contain silicone or it will damage you toy. Water baesd lubricants are suggested on the material page.
It is best to store Liv in the satin pull string bag included with her to avoid picking up foreign particles. Do not leave her exposed next to jelly or other harmful material. She can be stored with silicone, glass, wood, stainless steel, stone and ceramic toys.
Liv comes in a very nice sturdy cardboard box along with her warranty manual, user guide booklet, leaflet with precautions, a sample packet of LELO lubricant, her charger and her storage bag. The box is great to keep for storage of Liv or for any other purpose you may for for a box. I kept my box to keep all my manuals and sample lubricant from other toys I own because it so discreet and nice it would be a shame to have to throw it away if it can be put to use. I use another LELO toy box to store my chargers in. The cardboard box comes inside a display box that is not discreet at all, it shows a picture of Liv and product information.
I really enjoyed using Liv because I have found that I require strong and powerful vibrations internally as well as externally on my clitoris. Liv performed well for internal stimulation but I have found that sometimes it just isn't enough to get me to orgasm as soon as I'd like by clitoral stimulation (the same with Siri) so I am seeking out a vibrator that is more powerful for clitoral stimulation and rates as 5 vrooms. Liv will be my go to vibrator when I'm craving vibration over a dildo. I find Liv to be my favorite traditional vibrator along with my Petite Couture Euphoria, I go to Liv for firmness and Euphoria when I want flexibility. I was able to locate my g-spot but I don't use Liv for that purpose because I am one of those women that gets discomfort from direct g-spot stimulation.
Liv is soft and sleek enough that I am comfortable enough letting my partner use and control her inside of me while I lay back and enjoy it.
She is perfect for thrusting and not too long or thick for my taste, she is just right.
I love the multi-functions she offers as they are a great tease when looking to kick things up a notch from just plain constant vibrations. I found I can control my orgasm by decreasing the vibrations when I feel like I'm getting there to drag it out a bit longer.
Liv really is a great investment and I'm happy to have her in my collection.
Follow-up commentaryI still like it2 months after original review
LELO toys are very well made and I am happy with my choice. I sill use this one, though at times I feel I need something stronger if using it externally; internally, it provides enough power. I love how quiet it is! This is a great toy for any user to have. I would like to get Gigi sometime as well.
