Ella - dildo sex toy by LELO - review by Sexy Lexi

I find the Ella to be one of the most comfortable dildos I've ever used. The gentle curves of the dildo conform to the natural shame of my vagina nicely, with the body of the dildo rising to meet my G-spot, and then tapering to fit under my cervix. I rather enjoy the tapered end, because like a lot of women I loathe having my cervix jammed by anything. It nestles nicely underneath it and never bothers me. The rise of the dildo curves up just behind my pubic bone and it feels like it was meant to be there. If I pull it forward just a touch while masturbating, it hits my G-spot nicely. While I didn't find it to be orgasm-worthy, it was certainly pleasurable and I enjoy this immensely. The curved end makes for a lovely handle by which to push, push, or otherwise manipulate this lovely toy is fanTASTIC. No straining your wrist to grab the end of a straight dildo, rather it curves to your palm. The dildo used in reverse did not do much for me, and I tried to get the handle to hit my G-spot, to no avail.

The dildo is much firmer than I expected. I own two softer silicone toys and I expected the texture and density to be the same, but the Ella is much harder. It's difficult to bend, even a little bit. I was a little concerned at first, thinking the firmness would hurt, but it turned out not to be an issue, and is even a boon when used internally. The surface is a little velvety. Soft, but not glossy. It has no smell or taste. The silicone washes very easily. It's best used with a water-based lube, however, as silicone lube will degrade the toy.

The toy is a work of art. It has very sensual curves which mold wonderfully to the natural shape of a vagina. The toy itself is about seven inches long, and is modestly sized at about 1.5 inches in diameter. The dildo is double ended, with the body narrowing into a neck, then flaring back up into what could be used as either a G-spot end, or a convenient handle. With the flared base, and some diligence, I imagine the Ella could be used as an anal toy. My Ella is white, and it is a sterling, flawless white with "LELO" stamped on the side. The dildo, with just a touch of water-based lube, or my own wetness, glides right in like it was MADE for my pussy. It is nothing short of amazing.

This is my go-to dildo. I love the way it fits, glides, and performs. When I used the body of the dildo inside me, I love to push and pull on it at certain points in my happy-fun-time. Doing so stimulated my G-spot in such a way that it makes my eyes roll back into my head, and I look forward to it every time I settle in to flick the bean. It is deliciously firm, just firm enough I think. I was less impressed when I turned the toy around, using the smaller end to try and get at my G-spot. I jabbed, and pushed, and pulled, and tried, but that end did nothing for me, even after months of extensive "review."

The toy is seamless, so it is very easy to clean with mild soap and water. The stamped "LELO" logo might prevent a slight problem because at first I didn't notice it and it had a little build up that I was easily able to clean out with an old tooth brush. The dildo is made with 100% silicone, so it doesn't play nice with silicone lube. Also, because it is made of silicone, it can be sterilized in a 10% bleach solution, some anti-bacterial soap, or even in the dishwasher. The surface, while a lovely velvet feel, has a tendency to catch lint so it would be worth cleaning before a romp in the sack. As always, if you are sharing this toy, put a condom on it.

The toy came to me in a sleek black box, covered in a plastic cover to hold it still. A set of instructions, and a warranty (which is impressive,) were included. Packaged with the toy was a satiny drawstring bag to keep your Ella in, which given the Ella's tendency to collect dist, is a very nice touch. The box itself could easily be used as a gift box, given the simple, elegant packaging.

This toy re-invented my style of jilling off. It's something I look forward to when I want to masturbate, and reach for before I even go digging for my clit-vibe. It enhances my orgasms so much that with and without my Ella is like night and day. I love this dildo, and it made me reconsider my "ew, dildos" stance. I love it.

I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what to say about this dildo. I love the way it fit with me, and gently stimulated my G-spot. Even though I wasn't particularly impressed by the G-spot end, I really grew to love this dildo and it has a permanent spot in my vagina's heart. However, it is something I prefer to use alone. When I let my partner at the reins of this baby, he pushed the toy in -- and nailed my cervix. This is neither my boyfriend's fault, nor the toy's fault. I chalk it up to blind (bad) luck and his lack of intimate knowledge of a woman's body (that only women really have.) Ever since I've decided this is my solitary toy.
