I will confess - I hardly ever buy new vibrators anymore. When you work at a sex toy shop, there are just too many options. For me, it takes exactly the right combination to peak my interest. As you already know, I was really excited about the Gigi but apparently everyone else was too and so we didn't have it in stock the last time I worked. Then, I noticed a toy that looked like Gigi but was actually much more my style. As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to have it.The Liv vibrator is very similar to the Gigi - silicone and beautiful hard plastic with five different pulses plus a wide range of vibration from a steady rumble to an intense buzz. It doesn't have quite the same G-spot lip that Gigi has, but it's smooth and curved and dark blue - much more my style than bright pink. (Who ever said that looks shouldn't be a factor?)Using the Liv is really easy. All I had to do to turn it one was push a button. Then, it's left and right to change the intensity and up and down to change the type of vibration. This means that you can have pulsing type 3 and intensity type 2 or pulsing type 4 and intensity type 1 or pulsing type 1 and intensity type 4 and so on and so forth - you get the idea.I've actually never played around much with pulsing so I'm looking forward to experimenting and I will be sure to report back.
