In the past I’ve said that Lelo make the best vibrators in the world, but it was pointed out to me that as I’ve only ever tried their clitoral vibrators I’m not really in a position to make statements like that. So, with that in mind, I’ve made it my personal mission to use and review every Lelo vibrator on the market…and the next one on the list is the Lelo Iris.
The Iris is one of the larger vibrators in Lelo’s femme range and is designed for penetration and g-spot stimulation.
The body is made of phthalate-free silicone which is very soft and silky smooth. The handle and controls are made of ABS plastic. The body and handle are joined with a chrome ring around them, with an almost unnoticeable seam. The shaft is not flexible at all, which makes it perfect for pushing down on your g-spot.
The Lelo Iris is curved and 9″ long, 5.5″ of which is insertable, 4.5″ around and weighs just 1.5lb.
The most defining feature is the texture of the shaft, shaped like a tulip, which stimulates your vagina on insertion and thrusting.
The control buttons are placed in the same position as all Lelo g-spot vibrators, on the handle. A lot of people have reported that they accidentally press the buttons during use, but I found that they were perfectly positioned in an easy to reach spot without getting in the way.
The buttons control the Iris vibration functions. The ‘+’ and ‘-’ buttons increasing and decreasing the intensity of the vibrations. The ‘↑’ and ‘↓’ switching between the tip or base motors and through the different vibration patterns:
- Tip motor
- Base motor
- Tip and base motors
- Tip and base motors alternating fast
- Tip and base motors alternating slow
Because it’s made of silicone the vibrations do travel throughout the whole toy regardless of which motor is running, although obviously stronger at the point of the motor. I found every setting to be very pleasing, although my favorite is definitely the tip and base motors alternating fast. This proved to be a sure fire way to a deep and satisfying orgasm.
Water-based lubricant, rather than silicone, should be used with the Lelo Iris to keep the silicone soft and smooth.
The instructions recommend using anti-bacterial soap and water for cleaning, though I just used a sterilizing toy wipe which works equally well.
Be careful during cleaning not to let any water get into the charging port at the base. If you do happen to get it wet, be sure to let it dry thoroughly before plugging it in!
After cleaning, the Iris can be stored in the black satin pouch that comes with it.
As with all Lelo vibrators the packaging is beautiful. A simple cardboard box in the color of the vibrator with the Lelo logo embossed on the front. Inside the Lelo Iris rests in a plastic cradle, on top of the charger, instruction manual, warranty and satin pouch.
As a g-spot vibrator the Lelo Iris has got to be in my top 10 vibes of all time. Not only is it well made and sexy, it requires little effort to stimulate just where you want and bring you over the edge with ease.
