The Lelo Iris is
one of the LELO vibrators sold by leloiris.biz This silicone and plastic vibrator is rechargeable. It is about 8 inches long, and at the widest point, it has a http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifdiameter of about an inch and a half. The great thing about the Lelo Iris is that it is splash proof, so I would recommend taking it in the shower but not the in the hot tub. The high quality Silicone is body-safe, and the Lelo Iris sex toy has a texture on the shaft of the toy – which is very rare for any of the LELO toys.The Lelo Iris packaging is always amazing to me. The toy itself comes packaged in a plain, unmarked black box that makes it perfect for being discreet. The vibrator itself comes sitting in a little plastic tray that makes it really easy to store in when its not in use. The charger, storage bag, and instructions also come in this box, and they easily store underneath the tray of the Iris. If you need some discreet storage, this box actually does a really nice job. It also is perfect for gift-giving as well.

The LELO Iris is rechargeable. There is no reason to try and keep track of batteries when you have the lelo Iris around. The Iris charges to a full charge in three hours, and that gives it four hours of user time. It has a stand-by time of 3 Months! Wow. So it will sit around with a charge pretty well. As with any rechargeable high end product it should never be left on the charger for more than 24 hours. The charging port for the lelo Iris is on the butt of the vibrator; it’s covered by a silicone piece to protect water or other things from getting in the socket. All LELO chargers are interchangeable, so if you own another LELO toy, the charger will work for the Iris as well. It’s very easy to plug-in the Iris, and while it’s charging, the LED backlight will pulse. When your lelo iris is finished charging, it has a steady color to let you know that it’s done.
The curve of the Lelo Iris
The LELO Iris is a quality sex toy. The body and shaft of the sex toy is silicone. There’s a little metal band around the middle of the toy, and below the metal band, the toy is made from plastic. The entire body of the lelo iris is extremely easy to clean. Directly underneath the silicone layer is a hard material, so the silicone material of the Iris is not pliable at all. It’s a nice covering, and it feels velvety and soft but not plushy.
The Lelo Iris includes two different vibration points. It’s actually really cool. One of the vibration points is at the tip of the vibrator while the other vibration point is more towards the metal part of the vibe. I don't know of any other sex toys that do it the way the Lelo Iris does. It defaults to only using the tip-motor for steady vibrations, but when you start going through the patterns, you can alternates between or use the two points. I use the tip motor the best since it feels the best clitorally. If you wanted to use this internally, the motors are actually really useful. The tip has good vibrations and may possibly hit your g-spot while the motor by the metal piece will stimulate the outer nerves of the vagina.
The control panel for the Lelo Iris
The Iris is relatively quiet with the vibrations. There’s no way that it would be heard through a closed door. The lower vibration strengths probably couldn’t be heard in the same room. The strength isn’t amazing, but the vibration strength is on the stronger side of moderate. I wouldn’t call it very strong, but I’d say that, if all you require is moderate or average vibrations, the Lelo Iris would work just fine for you.
The discreet packaging
The controls for the Iris are very intuitive. If you press the + or – signs, it increases or decreases the vibrations. If you press the up or down buttons, it cycles through the pattern speeds. If you hold down the middle of the button, it will lock the vibration strengths for travel, so it won’t turn on.
This is one of the only LELO toys that has any sort of texture on the shaft. This toy has a neat little flower-like texture on there. The blooming texture on the tip isn’t noticeable during use, but the blooming texture on the lower part of the shaft is much more noticeable. The toy, with lubrication, inserts pretty easily. I didn’t use it much for insertion since I liked the vibrations much more for clitoral use. However, it is pretty good for insertion, and if you have a sensitive g-spot, this will stroke your g-spot during use. It didn’t hit mine, but if most average g-spot toys work for you, this one will work for you as well.
The lelo Iris is extremely easy to clean. It just requires warm water and antibacterial soap. Be careful about getting water in the charging port or the vibration controls. It can be sterilized by using bleach, but be careful about where you get the bleach. You can use water-based lubricant with this, but I don’t recommend silicone-based since the silicon based lube will sometimes eat away at the silicone part of your lelo iris. For storage, I recommend keeping this in the original box; it’s great for storage.
Overall, I like the LELO Iris. It’s a pretty big toy, but it’s great for both insertable and external uses, it has some good vibrations, it’s easy to control, and it has some beautiful packaging. If you want a good, textured toy that’s made by LELO and works externally as well, the Lelo Iris is a good choice.
