Best thing to Happen to My G Spot EVER.
This toy offers a very affordable way to experience an innovative, luxury silicone sex toy from a top toy brand.Published: March 5, 2009
Pros:
Unique shape, 100% silicone construction, classy packaging
Cons:
Collects dust easily, not harness compatible
This might very well the the best toy I've ever owned. Ella was my first LELO product, as the high price tag that generally accompanies the brand had kept me away in the past. This toy, however, is very affordable--a definite plus in my book.
The overall presentation of this toy is amazing. It comes in a simple black box that says "LELO" on the front, and inside is a sturdier black box that holds the dildo. It also comes with a white satin pouch. The appearance says "art", rather than "sex toy".
Ella is made out of velvety 100% silicone. It does gather dust and hair easily, but it can be boiled, put in the dishwasher, cleaned with mild soap and water or toy cleaner, or cleaned with 10% bleach solution. As with all silicone toys, it should only be used with water-based lubricants.
The shape of this toy is absolutely amazing. I have to be honest-many G Spot toys are painful to me. I either find the curve to be too severe, the end to be too pointy, or the material to be too hard. The Ella, on the other hand, has a gently curved tip that is flat on the end, which provides great, concentrated G spot stimulation.
The curved end also works great for external stimulation. This can be done either by using the flat end against the clit or, because of the way this toy is shaped, it can stimulate the clit and vaginal opening by placing the flat end at the vaginal opening and pointing the dildo upwards so that the curve of the toy hugs the clit and pubic bone.
The only downside I could see from this toy is that it may not be enough for those who prefer larger toys. It measures a modest 1-1/4" in diameter and 5" insertable. While this was perfect for me, I know that others may prefer something more substantial.
Overall, this is a really great, very versatile toy that would be a great addition to anyone's toy collection.

ella vs. others
-
I want to get ella as my first she doesn't seem as menacing as the others made of glass or metal but are those materials better sensation wise?
-
It comes down to personal preference, really. You're not going to know if glass or metal feels better to you until you try.
A couple things to keep in mind, though: glass and metal have absolutely no give, so they tend to feel bigger than silicone toys of the same size. They're also rather heavy in most cases, and so you need to be a bit more careful when you use them. Being too rough can result in internal bruising. They're very slick and smooth, though, unlike silicone which typically has some drag to it.
The Ella is pretty rigid for a silicone toy, but it's very light and easy to use. It's great if you're new to dildos. :) -

How Does Lelo Ella compare to Gigi?
-
I know that Ella doesn't vibrate, but are there many other differences? I am wondering whether the Ella might be a better shape or size for g-spot stimulation

Would the Ella work well for a beginner?
-
I'm thinking of getting my bestfriend this for Christmas but she is new to toys. Would this be a good toy to give a newbie? I have not tried it myself so I'm not sure how easy it is to master.
-
I have the similarly shaped Gigi and found nothing but frustration when trying to thrust with it.
-
i think it would be a good option for a beginner.

I need help the Ella curve is doing me in.
-
I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I have read every review and some twice. I can not figure this girl out. I want to write a review but, how can I write a review on something I do not get. Any ideas would be wonderful. Please help me enjoy this beautiful toy.

What do you not get about it? Not every toy works for every woman. Does it hurt to use? Maybe your vagina is too small for it yet or maybe you just need some lube. Do you not feel anything? Again, nothing is for everyone. Try sqeezing the toy by doing kegels when you use it. Some women say that makes things feel better. Or maybe try tilting it up towards your g-spot. That works for me with other toys.
I haven't used it yet. Just recently purchased a white Ella. And I can't wait! We've got the same name! :D -
If you don't get it you can still write your review from that perspective. I'm sure you wouldn't be the only one who had that experience with it. I have the Ella and she's nice but she's not fireworks for me and that's ok. We all have different experiences with toys and that is what makes these reviews so valuable.

Dildo vs. Vibrator
-
I am having a hard time getting used to the idea of a dildo vs. a vibrator! As far as using one goes, how does one decide which is better for oneself? Just wondering and thanks!

Just wondering and thanks!What I mean by this I think is, is it easier with one than the other, or maybe does it require a different mind set or even is one better with partner play vs. solo? I don't know, LOL, just curious.

When we started with toys it was all about clit vibes for 'effective' reliable orgasms. But as we got into g-spot and a-spot stimulation, dildos have advantages over vibes because pressure is more important than vibes.
Now we almost always have some of both going on. A dildo for internal and a clit vibe for external - although she occasionally likes two vibes.
The only truism I've found is that what she wants/needs is different almost every time. I use to think 'this worked last time - so lets do it again' - but now I think 'we did that last time - what can I do to mix things up'.
That's why we have dozens of toys - both vibes and dildos.

Ella for beginners
-
Hey! I was just wondering if Ella would be something an absolute beginner could use, someone who's never gone looking for her g-spot before. She seems awfully tempting, but I wonder if I it's too advanced a toy for me?

Ella was the first one that worked for me. Several people have had their first successes with Ella.

Ella and Gigi
-
I've had both the Ella and the Gigi sitting in my shopping cart for days now. I was wondering.. should I get them both, or should I maybe just get one to try, then maybe later on get the other if I want?
They both seem so worth it, it's hard to just pick one! -
Quote: I've had both the Ella and the Gigi sitting in my shopping cart for days now. I was wondering.. should I get them both, or should I maybe just get one to try, then maybe later on get the other if I want?I just bought the Ella and have not tried it yet, but everyone seems to love it. I have had the GiGi for a couple of months and rarely use it, mainly because the control thing is located in the worst possible spot, and I invariably hit it and make the settings change! Argh! I also had no luck with it for g-spot stimulation, and the only times I get it out it is for clit work.
They both seem so worth it, it's hard to just pick one!
Even though I wasn't crazy about GiGi, it seems to do the job for a lot of people, so it might work for you. In fact, I bought it based on all the wonderful reviews. I've come to the conclusion that there is no one toy that will do the trick for everyone. Everyone is VERY different in their tastes and what they need. -
I agree that no toy is good for everyone. I can not get a rabbit vibe that actually works for me by stimulating my clit and vag at the same time. Perhaps its operator error.
Anyway, I love the Gigi. I solved the control issue for me anyway by wiping the lube off the control and my fingers...success. The effectiveness of the Gigi is the vibe plus the design. I don't have the Ella, which is not a vibe but I see it as similar to many of the g spot dils available.

Thank you for viewing Ella – g-spot dildo review page!
Yes! I'm glad you like it as much as I do!
It's nice it comes with a satin pouch. Would the small size make it more difficult to use with a clit vibrator?
Machina--
Thanks for your question. It is a challenge to try to maneuver using both Ella and a clitoral vibrator, but it's not impossible. Actually, if you use a clitoral vibe and press it against Ella, it transmits the vibrations internally very well. Hope that helps.
Thanks for the review!
