Review: Lelo Mona

UPDATE: The links have been updated to the Mona 2. Until I can get an updated review posted of the Mona 2, I’ll fill you in on the changes briefly: The motor is more powerful. Not overwhelming, but very nice and more rumbly than before. The power difference is discernible and worth it. I would still highly recommend the Mona 2 over the Gigi 2. Mona 2 is waterproof, rechargeable, and composed of ABS plastic and silicone.

Occasionally I purchase my own sex toys; lately for some reason most of my purchases have ended in disappointment. Except for the Lelo Mona. Yes, folks, finally a review of a premium/luxury vibrator that I do not hate!!

I miss the styling of what I call the First-Gen Lelo line (Gigi, Elise, etc) but one of their changes to design was a lean towards bolder colors. I could be wrong but I was under the impression that they also changed the motors – rendering the Second-Gen line a little more powerful, with vibrations of a little lower pitch and more rumbly. If there’s a difference, it’s subtle. I had both Mona and Gigi charged up and I couldn’t feel a real discernible difference. That being said, Mona was able to get me off in a way Gigi wasn’t. Perhaps it’s the shape, perhaps there is a little bit more oomph – just the tiny bit I needed over the old toys.

Both Mona and Gigi are g-spot toys, but they look completely different. Gigi is overall a lot shorter and has less girth. The shortness of Gigi never allowed me to use it as a g-spot vibrator. Gigi has a pronounced flat head, where Mona is more…paddle shaped, I guess you could call it. There’s a width to Mona that gives a wonderful feeling of fullness that Gigi couldn’t, and I actually like the shape of Mona for clitoral massage even better than Gigi. There’s just something about the shape of Mona – the curve, the width, the length – that makes it a superior g-spot vibrator compared to Gigi, at least for me. They changed the buttons on this generation of toys, as well. There’s still four buttons that do the same thing, but instead of looking like a wheel, it’s just 4 buttons. It’s probably easier to use for most people than the old style.

Unless you prefer a slimmer vibrator, my recommendation now goes to Lelo’s Mona over Gigi. Both share the same silicone + ABS plastic construction, a similar control pad, rechargeable of course and come with a trademark black and white Lelo satin bag. It’s funny how when I like a toy, my review is shorter than when I dislike a toy. I really don’t know what else to say about this – I think it’s superior to Gigi for my tastes and the shape/size is definitely a winner. I’ve even gotten off using this internally while turned off and a bullet on my clit – it’s no Pure Wand, but it’s a close second.
