Carving out time in my calendar for regular rounds of self-care accompanied by the latest sex tech — including the LELO GIGI 2 — is one of the major perks of my job as a sexual wellness writer. But it's hard not to have high hopes for every new release when brands like LELO have seriously raised the bar in recent years, meaning sometimes I'm left unsatisfied.
A quick break here to remind you that masturbation — whether on your own or accompanied by a toy — is considered a wellness activity here at GLAMOUR due to the fact the physical act can also help relieve stress and boost your happy hormones (specifically, dopamine and oxytocin).
Anyway, whether I'm testing what its designers are calling the next best clit sucker, vibrator, or cock ring, I expect a few key things: fairly intense power, multiple vibration patterns and a battery that lasts more than a single session.
Luckily, LELO sex toys do tend to tick every box. Almost since its inception in 2003, the sexual wellness brand has been elevating the industry with its premium selection. However, of all the Swedish silicone cuties to come into my life, one of the few that will forever stand out is the LELO GIGI 2.

LELO GIGI 2 G-Spot Vibrator: One sex writer's review
The GIGI 2 is a G-spot vibrator that’s an upgrade from the original GIGI — a toy I’ve never tried, I’m sorry to say. The GIGI 2 first came my way during the COVID lockdowns of 2020, so I had a lot of time to kill (to say the least). When I first opened the box, two things stuck out: its smallness and its flattened tip. I was immediately intrigued by the tip because G-spot vibrators tend to have rounded tips — like the LELO MONA 2 G-Spot Stimulator, for example — and I can’t say I love that feature. But ultimately, how something looks doesn’t necessarily speak to its talent, so I quit my mulling and got down to the masturbation business.
The flat head is wider than most dildo tips, making for ideal external stimulation because it covers more area. It’s this design feature that allows me to experience powerful vibrations that spread throughout my vulva and right on up to my sweet spot — my beloved clitoris. It feels like a little vulva-centric foreplay action every time before I go all in for the clitoral stimulation.
When it comes to all massagers, I love a strong vibration, so I usually need to crank it, but with the LELO GIGI 2, I don’t. Instead, I leave the intensities somewhere in the middle, and despite the eight vibration patterns, I like to keep things simple and ride the waves of pleasure like the horny mermaid I am. Full disclosure: I’ve never been a pattern gal. Did I have a clitoral orgasm the first time I used GIGI 2? You bet I did. Have I every time? Oh, yeah. But I'm a clit gal, so this is on par for me. While I tend to use the GIGI 2 more often for clitoral stimulation, when it comes to internal action, it’s definitely a favourite. That flattened tip full of girth woos me almost every time, so let’s talk about how exciting that is for me — and for you (because you’re going to get one after reading this).
First up: water-based lube. As fantastic as the GIGI 2 is on its own, lube — one of the best lube types for women who regularly call on sex toys — makes every situation even better, working to banish any unwanted friction from the bedroom and even, sometimes, amplifying the feel-good sensations. Currently, my go-to is the Coco de Mer Divine Glow Aqua Lubricant, infused with aloe vera to counteract any dryness and beautifully disguised in a decorative glass bottle.
To no surprise, GIGI 2 hits the right spot, er, my G-spot perfectly. It doesn’t involve any finagling and I love that. As I do with G-spot vibrators, I apply just enough pressure so vibrations go deep and my entire vagina feels like it’s ascended to another plane. But with the GIGI 2, it’s not just vag-related pleasure but more all-encompassing. While the vibes are up close and personal to my G-spot, the sensations never cease to spread beyond that and throughout my body. Despite this, I don’t have a G-spot orgasm each time with the GIGI 2, but that’s on me.
G-spot orgasms are something I can achieve only when my head is 100% in the game — which, I admit, isn’t always the case. For clitoral orgasm, it’s a buzz-and-done situation, but internal O’s require more from me. But when it comes to G-spot orgasms, the GIGI 2 delivers more than the other internal stimulators I have in my trove. It’s even made me squirt a few times, so that speaks volumes (pun!) in and of itself. I’d also like to note that, although I was unable to procure a cervical orgasm, with the GIGI 2 it’s not out of the realm of possibility.
I know the GIGI 2 isn’t new. It’s been around since before I was even a zygote (because I’m that young). But despite that, I still know a bit about sex toys. I might still burn everything I put in the oven and I may have to hold up my hands in L-shapes to determine right from left, but sex toys I know. And with that said, the GIGI 2 is in my top five of all time for a reason.
LELO GIGI 2 G-Spot Vibrator: The Verdict
Pros
- Ergonomic shape aids your comfort, no matter how long you play.
- Talking of, the four-hour playtime is a major plus — in a month-long testing period, I charged mine twice.
- The eight pulsation settings didn't leave me wanting, offering satisfying constant buzzes and intermittent rhythms.
- I appreciated the option to tailor the intensity of each mode, made easy with the four-way controls.
- Ergonomic shape aids your comfort, no matter how long you play.
Cons
- Success very much depends on your anatomy… and your knowledge of it.
- Best suited to solo ventures, as it can be a little difficult to direct a partner.
- That price tag — although we justify that by labelling it an investment in your mental and sexual well-being.
One of the reasons the GIGI 2 is among LELO'S bestsellers is that when it comes to serving up orgasms, it’s a sure thing. A recent review on Lovehoney declared: “GIGI hits my G-spot directly and massages it mercilessly. She never misses, and I lose myself.” Same, friend, same. It’s a g-spot massage that won’t be forgotten anytime soon.
I love the design of all LELO toys. Whether it’s the SONA 2 Cruise, SORAYA WAVE, or MONA 2, I’m like a moth to a flame when it comes to the designs. That matte grey silicone vibrator against my clit or G-spot is a delicious luxury that not every brand can offer. It’s also USB rechargeable and comes fitted with a battery life of up to four hours when fully charged. I also appreciated that it arrives with a satin pouch so you can toss your vibrator and charger in your bag every time you travel.
Shop to it.

In case you’re late to the party, when it comes to sex toys, they should always be made of premium, medical-grade silicone. If your sex toy is made of regular ol’ plastic or a jelly-like substance, throw it out. Now.
Although the handle of the GIGI 2 is made of ABS plastic, it’s important to know that, unlike other plastics, ABS is nontoxic and won't break down and release chemicals into your body or the environment. It’s this attention to detail when it comes to body-safe materials that I especially love about LELO.
Some vibrators boast that they’re whisper-quiet but actually aren’t. However, the GIGI 2 absolutely is. When it’s under my blankets and between my legs, the only noise in the room is me.
It wouldn’t be in my top fave vibrators of all time if the vibes were weak. As I said, I like a strong vibration and that’s exactly what I got with every mode. That said, it may be a little intense if you're a beginner, so I'd suggest starting with one of the persistent pulsing modes on its lowest setting.
