Review of the Lelo The Intent gift set

The Lelo brand sent us The Intent gift set. In order to write its review, we received the same gift as the winner of the Valentine’s Day competition. It’s in moments like this that I remind myself that being a sex toy tester is still really rather nice!

We had suggested this gift set to Lelo as the prize for the competition because The Intent is a kit dedicated to female pleasure, made up of thoughtfully selected erotic accessories. In fact, it contains two sex toys that are part of Lelo’s best-sellers: the Ina 2 and the Siri 2, as well as a tube of water-based lubricant, so that you have everything you need to get straight to action.

We had already had the opportunity to review the Ina 2, a rabbit that has proved itself, and the Siri 2, a powerful but compact clitoral vibrator, was something we wanted.

Apart from the quality I expected from Lelo, my curiosity was piqued by the Siri 2: its official presentation announces that it “reacts to ambient sound”. This unusual feature was well worth reviewing.

Here is our review of The Intent gift set.

Packaging of the Lelo The Intent gift set

Given the contents of The Intent gift set, I expected it to be gigantic. But in fact, it is only slightly larger than Lelo’s older sex toy packaging.

Inside, the two sex toys are individually packaged, in their respective cardboard boxes (these are the same boxes as if you bought the sex toys individually).

Satin storage pouches are provided.

Note the presence of a sticker mentioning the price on the front of the gift set: if it is to be given as a gift, remember to remove it.

The clitoral vibrator Siri 2

I had heard a lot about the Siri 2, a vibrating pebble designed for clitoral stimulation, one of Lelo’s most famous creations, and one that many testers seemed to praise, but I had never had the chance to meet it in person. That is now done.

Aspect

The Lelo Siri 2 is a very small clitoral vibrator, in the shape of a pebble that fits in the palm of the hand. I was pleasantly surprised by its very modest dimensions: even if the emphasis is not placed on this point, it is indeed a “pocket” vibrator, which can easily be taken everywhere. It is in fact smaller than the first version of the Siri.

Texture and material

The stimulating part of the Siri 2 is made of 100% medical silicone, while the part intended to be held in the hand is made of ABS plastic. These are two materials that are safe for the body.

Power supply

The Siri 2 recharges via a proprietary-format cable that plugs into a USB port. It is the same cable for all Lelo vibrators.

Charging is fairly quick, for a good usage duration (we did not time it, but we encountered no battery issues).

The Siri 2 is completely waterproof, so it can also be used in the shower or bath.

Controls and “classic” modes

The Siri 2 has eight modes predefined, which bear the names of musical styles:

• Classical: Constant vibrations
• Reggae: Slow pulsations
• Rumba: Fast pulsations
• Folk: vibrations gradually increase in intensity, then three fast pulsations
• Hip-Hop: similar, but faster
• Soul: slow “wave” mode: the power gradually increases, then gradually decreases, and so on.
• Techno: Very fast pulsations
• Jazz: Random mode.

Each of these modes can be adjusted in intensity.

The controls consist of four buttons: two arrows to navigate between modes, and two “+” and “-” buttons to adjust the vibration intensity.

The “sound control” mode

A few years ago, a hoarse Canadian singer regained her lovely voice thanks to massages (of the throat, of course, but what did you imagine?) given using the original Lelo Siri. A buzz was born, and it is perhaps to echo this anecdote that Lelo equipped the new version of its signature clitoral vibrator with a sound control.

How does it work, and what is it? Sound control is just an additional feature that is added to the “classic” modes, and is activated by simultaneously pressing and holding the two arrow buttons.

In practice: it does react rather well to sound, it starts vibrating when you speak or put on music. However, it is far from synchronous, there is a lag, the power does not really adjust to the sound volume, and it does not always keep up with the rhythm. This feature remains a little playful bonus (and that is the purpose of a sex toy), but for the informed music lovers who would want a singing companion, it will not fill that role.

I find this mode fun, but the mode I use most often is the constant mode.

Noise level

The noise level of the Siri 2 is a little higher than that of the Ina 2, but it remains in the category of quiet vibrators.

Effectiveness

The Siri really has astonishing power for such a tiny vibrator: it is not far from rivaling ultra-powerful vibrators of the Fairy or Magic Wand type!

Let’s put that in perspective: its maximum power is comparable to that of a Magic Wand-like vibrator set on a moderate to intermediate mode… Which is already really quite something.

Moreover, it features vibrations that travel well in depth (also a rare thing in a small vibrator). Enough to keep orgasms coming one after another.

The Ina 2 rabbit

We already had a sample of the Ina 2, which we had compared with the original Ina. But since the article in question is a bit dated, I will present it to you again.

Aspect

The Lelo Ina 2 is a rabbit, that is to say a vibrator equipped with two arms that can be used simultaneously. The larger one is intended for vaginal penetration, and the smaller one, for clitoral stimulation.

The model contained in The Intent gift set is violet in colour. Its handle is white.

Texture and material

As with the Siri 2, the two arms of the Ina 2 are made of medical-grade silicone, while its handle is made of ABS plastic.

The silicone coating is firm, but very soft. The insertable part is rigid, but the base of the clitoral arm is flexible.

Power supply

The Ina 2 charging cable is identical to that of the Siri 2 (but the gift set does include two cables in total, one for each vibrator).

Controls and modes

The Ina 2 has two independent motors, one in its insertable arm, the other in the small clitoral tip.

The rabbit’s controls are located on its handle. Two “+” and “-” buttons vary the vibration intensity, while two “up” and “down” arrows allow navigation between the eight modes:

• Constant vibrations in both arms,
• Vaginal vibration only,
• Clitoral vibration only,
• Fast pulsations alternating between the two motors,
• Fast synchronous pulsations between the two motors,
• Vibrations gradually increasing in intensity in one arm, while decreasing in the other.
• Constant intensity in the clitoral arm, and varying in a wave in the vaginal arm.
• Random.

Noise level

The noise level of the Ina 2 is very reasonable. It cannot be heard from the next room.

Effectiveness

The Ina 2 is very effective, with powerful vibrations, and a well-designed clitoral tip. It is sufficiently flexible, but not too much, fairly wide, and has the right gap to come and place against the clitoris without deflecting it, while the other arm takes care of vaginal penetration.

The vaginal arm effectively stimulates the G-spot: it has approximately the same shape and the same curvature as the penetrating part of the Mona 2, one of my favourite vibrators for this use, but allows a little less amplitude than the latter because of the second arm.

Between powerful clitoral stimulation and back-and-forth against the G-spot, you reach orgasm quite quickly.

The Lelo lubricant

In a 75-millilitre bottle, the Lelo water-based lubricant contains no glycerine, no parabens.

Its scent and taste are subdued, it is transparent, non-greasy, with a fairly fluid texture, but one that does not run.

In short: a lubricant that knows how to stay discreet, with a healthy composition.

Conclusion

The good points:

• The Siri 2 is a clitoral vibrator of extraordinary power, for a very small size.
• The Ina 2 is a rabbit with a well-designed shape, with powerful vibrations and effective G-spot stimulation.
• Both sex toys are of excellent quality: made from safe materials, waterproof, with pleasant appearance and refined finishes.
• The lubricant has a composition that is healthy for the body.

The bad points:

• Its “regular” price (€337.29) is not within everyone’s budget. However, at the moment, a promotion at Lelo lowers its price to €199… Which remains a considerable investment, but for a selection of sex toys combining quality and efficiency. And it is not much more than the price of the Ina 2 or the Siri 2 individually, so if you plan to buy one of the two, you might as well really treat yourself by buying The Intent gift set. How long will this promo last? No idea.
