Ella - dildo sex toy by LELO - review by ToyGurl

The Ella Pleasure Object is one of the smaller G-Spot dildos available. Made completely of Silicone, a food grade, non-porous and body-safe material. Easy to clean, and easy to use. Low maintenance at least! The Ella is supposed to stimulate the female G-Spot, and could also be used as an anal or P-Spot toy with a little extra lubricant... However, Ella was so small that stimulating my G-Spot was near impossible... As a matter of fact, Ella is so small that it actually hurts a bit to use her. Maybe it's the way my vagina is shaped, or maybe it's just that the toy is awful.


Many have had success with this dildo, so don't get your hopes down just because of my opinion. But if you read my review and find that we are a lot alike, you may want to think twice.

Like I mentioned, Ella is made of 100% Silicone. Silicone is non-porous, hypo-allergenic, food grade, body safe, and is a 10 on the safety scale (1 - 10). The Silicone has less of a matte finish, and more of a velvety smooth finish. A lot of people like this, but if it doesn't vibrate, I always prefer a more matte finish for extra stimulation. The velvety finish gave Ella too much glide for me. For some who may have trouble self-lubricating, this may be a good toy as it takes a little amount of lubricant to get Ella in and out.


Ella is quite firm as far as Silicone toys come. One of the hardest silicone dildos I have owned in a very, very long time. She can bend slightly as you insert, but not enough to literally fit the shape of your insides. This may be why she hurt me so badly to use, but who knows. I can say that I'm used to using more straight toys, so the curve was a bit new to me.

I think the design was interesting. If this was a vibrator it would be more affective as I wouldn't really need to thrust it at all, eliminating the painful usage of the toy. As far as a G-Spot dildo... too slippery too easy, almos making it hard to control. I found more use with the end that is supposed to be the handle! The curved end only hurt me and made me urinate (NOT squirt - I know the difference).


The size? Too small. I seem to do well with large toys that have less of a curve. It puts less shock on my muscles and gives a nice full feeling. This is similar to sticking a tampon inside of myself! Of course it really isn't as small as a tampon - It only feels that way.


Ella is suitable for travel as she contains no electronics. Nothing that would show up as your suitcase is running through the scanner. Fits easily wherever you'd like it to fit, and small enough that it doesn't take any room.

Ella didn't perform as I had hoped she would. I expected a delightful G-Spot massage, but all I got was "Ouch! Honey take it out now! Let me try it myself!"


And after trying Ella myself? "Oh shit! That hurts!". The toy just doesn't sit right with me, and I'm sad to say so.

Ella can be cleaned practically any way you'd wish to clean her:


- Warm water and antibacterial soap


- Toy wipes


- Toy spray


- Top rack of dishwasher on regular (lower heat) cycle without dish soap. If you use dish soap you'll end up with a white tint on your toy that will never go away.


- Boil for up to 5 minutes in a pot, uncovered. Remove with tongs and let sit for about 20 minutes to cool.


- Let dildo soak in a 10% bleach/ 90% water solution. You can also make this solution in a spray bottle like I do and spray it down and give it a scrub.


Ella comes with a satin pouch that makes storage quite easy. No one would suspect a thing if you threw that in your sock drawer. She's so small that you can really put her in the corner of a drawer without worry.

Ella comes in a large LELO box that resembles all the other LELO boxes. It will be the color of whatever toy you have chosen, and one side even has an image of Ella life size. I found this fashionable, but not too discreet. Inside there is another box that is, once again, the same as all the other LELO boxes. You lift the lid to find Ella inside in a plastic mold with a free LELO lubricant packet, a few booklets for warranty and a mini catalog, along with the satin pouch. This box is totally discreet and looks like a large jewelry box. Perfect for storage and gifting.


If you plan on gifting Ella, removing the outer box would be wise.
