Friends, cuntrywomen, lend me your ears. Those of you who don’t like your toys to resemble a penis in any way, meet the Lily. Looking more like a tongue or a oddly shaped pebble, this vibrator is strangely sexy. Lelo totes the material as begging to be touched, and I’ve got to say I agree with them. Lily is sitting here on my desk as I write, and I can’t stop touching it. I find myself constantly picking it up, turning it over in my hands, rubbing it like a worry-stone… and soon, I’ll be heading off to bed to let it return the favor.
I tested this toy the first time with my partner, and I’d recommend you not do that. This is a “me time” toy, not a slapdash jerkoff session toy. It’s something to reach for to unwind after a long hard day toy, or to look forwards to right before bed. Or first thing in the morning! Turn on some soft music (not that you need it to mask the buzz) and light some incense, and get down with your bad self. Read the directions first, or you’ll just frustrate yourself. I can’t stress this enough. The controls aren’t hard to work, but you need to familiarize yourself with them a little before you start. Once you’ve tinkered with Lily and know how she works, you’re in business.
I’m foregoing the pro vs. con for this toy, because there aren’t any cons, to be honest. I’m just going to make a general list of things you need to know about this toy.

If you really need a lot of vibration to get off, this may or may not work for you. I always need a lot of vibration from a toy, but I have gotten off with Lily each and every time. I don’t just hold the toy against my clit and assume it will do all the work; it felt intuitive to rest it in my cupped hand and move and rub it against my clit while it vibrates. This feels simply divine, and to me it felt like the natural use for the toy. If your stronger toys, like the hitachi, are too intense to use for long, leisurely sessions and leave you numb afterwards, the Lily is something you really need to try. I love my hitachi, it’s great for a quick orgasm, but sometimes it’s too intense and brings me right to the edge and then my circuits overload and I fall short, simply because I can’t tolerate more. The Lily doesn’t do that - the orgasms are softer, for lack of a better word. It’s a slow build and then a lovely, unforced release.

I forgot to turn it off the first night, so when I woke up looking for a quickie it was dead. I discovered the reason for this is that the low setting is so low that I didn’t notice it was still running. You need to be really sure it’s off, and then make sure to lock it by holding both buttons down until the backlight turns off.

A two hour charges gives you seven hours of play. Seven hours! You’ll fall asleep satisfied before this toy needs a recharge, which can’t be said for all vibrators. When I find a favorite toy I tend to obsess about having enough batteries to keep it going for whenever I want it, so knowing that it can recharge was a huge relief for me.

You need to not get water/lube/natural wetness in the plug port on Lily’s wide end. Also, avoid getting water in the buttons. This seems like it would be a pain in the ass, but it’s not. I have not yet had a problem with getting lube or natural moisture in the buttons or plug hole and I am a lady prone to severe bouts of wetness in my southern hemisphere.

There are pulsation patterns. After you’ve reached the highest level of continuous vibration, press and hold the right button for 3 seconds and release, and you’ve reached the first pulse setting. More short button presses will cycle you through these, and let me tell you, they’re not the wonky morse code pulses… they’re perfect and in graduated intensity.

My ultimate conclusion is that you need a Lily. Your girlfriend needs one. Your repressed best friend needs one. It even comes with a 1 year manufacturer’s warranty, unheard of in a sex toy! There’s nothing to lose here. This would make a good first vibe, or second vibe, or fiftieth vibe. It would make a fantastic gift, as it arrives in its own gorgeous storage box, with a plug in charger. It’s also on sale at the moment, so take advantage of this deal and pick one up.
