Lia by Cal Exotics is a waterproof silicone rabbit-style vibrator at a great price. It's not too big, not too small, and really hits the spot. This would be a great toy for someone new to rabbit vibes, or anyone who likes a dual-stimulation rabbit-style vibrator without all the animal styling that so many rabbits have.

If a Hitachi is too much for you and you're looking for an insertable toy, this could be a good choice. The vibrations are strong but not overwhelming.

Lia is crafted of silicone and plastic, but all of the body-touching parts are silicone. Only the base which houses the controls is made of hard plastic. The silicone is nice and firm, with a soft texture and slight drag. Although this toy is made of firm silicone, it is still flexible on the end. The top half (the insertable half) has a great amount of flexibility. There is a scalloped design along the 'top' or clitoral side of the vibrator. These scalloped ridges are of a uniform depth, and about 3/4" wide. The backside of the toy is smooth as is the clitoral vibrator, which is a thin, flexible, pointy extension. There is no odor, and silicone is non-porous. Generally speaking, silicone can be sterilized, but do not put this toy in the dishwasher due to the battery compartment and vibrating mechanical parts.

This soft silicone is the type that will pick up lint, hair, and dust, so have some Eden Toy Wipes handy!

Lia is a standard rabbit shape, but without an "exotic animal" theme. The light blue silicone is soft to the touch, and the ridges along the shaft add extra sensation, but do so gently. The moderate size of this toy is a plus. Anyone looking for a giant toy in length or girth would do better with another toy, but this size is perfect for people looking for a midsize toy without too much power, swirling beads, or bouncing parts.

The whole toy is 8 3/4" long, but the insertable length is 4 1/2" with a 1 1/4" diameter.
Lia is lightweight, at just 4 1/2 ounces. The small size and non-phallic design of this toy would make it travel-friendly, but it's obviously a vibrator if anyone looks closely. Consider yourself warned and act accordingly.

This toy has two motors: one for the shaft and one for the clitoral vibrator. Both are controlled by one set of buttons housed in the in the hard plastic base.

There is also an opening in the plastic base (I wondered if this was for carrying Lia on a cord from one's belt). Lia is powered by 2 AA batteries, which are not included.

There is one power button and one vibration control button. Both buttons are situated in the silicone 'doughnut hole' in the base. The power button is on the top, or clitoral side, of the vibrator, and the pattern control is on the bottom, perfectly situated for index finger use if the toy is inserted vaginally. This second button controls the ten functions which vary from escalating vibration to different patterns of pulsation and roller coaster vibrations. There is something here for everyone!

Silicone toys should only be used with water-based lubricants. Clean up is easy, though: soap and water or toy cleaner and you're done. Storage is also easy due to the 'normal' size of this toy.

Lia is packaged in a clear plastic box, with lots of information about the toy. This box is flimsy and not really good for storage.

I was surprised by how much I liked this toy after having an initial "not another rabbit vibe" moment. The size is right, the silicone material is nice, the power is just right, and you can't beat the price.
