The Iris by Lelo

The Iris by Lelo is the latest toy I’ve tried out.  If you’re not familiar with the company, Lelo is a very high end, European company with top drawer toys.  They make some of my favorite products  The Gigi and  Liv are two other examples of their upscale dildo vibes that I’m dying to review.  Some of their products are very discreet, in fact the Lily looks more like a spa hot massage stone than a vibe.  I just recommended it to a friend recently who wanted to put a surprise in his wife’s carry-on bag that wouldn’t get her arrested or embarrass her in airport security.

Just this week I received the only product made by Lelo that isn’t as much a sex toy as a sex product – the Luna Beads.  I’ll write my review here soon about them, but the bottom line is they are a combined pleasure and exercise system.  You can enjoy the sensation of them while flexing your pelvic floor muscles (so to speak).  The company states that “Her movement-induced subtle vibe makes for more efficient, fun and pleasurable “Kegel”-exercising. Indeed, performing daily “Kegels” helps restrain and prevent stress incontinence, but benefits moreover include increased neuromuscular control, enhanced ¬¬sensation and ultra-intense orgasms.”  I’m all for ultra-intense orgasms, so I figured I might give them a try.  I’ll let you know!

The Iris is the ultimate multi-tasker pleasure provider.  It came in a really nice box with a thorough instruction guide, a really nice silk storage pouch, and a charger.  It took me a while to figure it out, because there is one little square button to make so many things happen!  Maybe I didn’t read the booklet well-enough because I was so excited to put it to use, but it wasn’t as intuitive as the company claims.

It is very responsive and allows you to target the intensity or balance it equally between the tip and the shaft of the vibrator – in simple terms, there are a pair of “individually balanced vibrator engines, operating in harmony”.  The one touch does it all button was initially confusing, but once I figured it out, it’s really quite a benefit.  Side-to-side to increase intensity, up-and-down to change the location and pattern of intensity.

A fully-charged Iris is good to go for 7 hours and you don’t have to spend a fortune every week in batteries to use it.  It also has a one-year manufacturer’s warranty – they are a great product and the company is willing to back it up.  I’ve never had a Lelo product fail me, but for the investment, it’s nice to know that if it did, I’d have a new one in a week.  (It would be one rough week!)

I’ve used my Iris enough to know that it’s my good friend.  I have a nice selection of dildos and vibrators and other sex toys, so it’s worth noting that along with the G-twist, the Stubby G, The Cyberglass Felicity, and the Hitachi Magic Wand you’ll find my Iris.  It’s a toybox favorite of mine.
