Ella - dildo by LELO - review by Love Perpetua

Once upon a time, a boyfriend asked me if I had ever had a squirting orgasm. “I don’t think they exist, it’s probably just pee”, I replied. And then I met Ella, and she changed my life. With a beautifully seamless silicone design, she brings new meaning to the words “double ended dildo.” Warm up with the smooth curve, then switch to thrusting with the flat end, and get ready for orgasmic release. Fast. This zeroes in on my G-spot and gives me sheet-soaking, leg-shaking, mind-blowing orgasms in less than 5 minutes. If I’m getting out Ella, I’m getting out a towel (maybe two).

This is the best beginner G-spot dildo ever. I recommend it to anyone seeking the elusive squirting orgasm. It's perfect for anyone who has tried but couldn’t quite get there, or anyone who just wants to squirt. Ella showed me how, and I’m not stopping now. And no, it’s definitely not pee.

The Lelo Ella is made of a gorgeous, 100% silicone, which is completely odorless and tasteless. It is also non-porous, sterilizable, Pthalates free, and completely body-safe. The body of the Ella is completely firm, which makes it easy to achieve the right amount of G-spot pressure. The texture of this baby is truly amazing; it is super smooth, soft, and velvety, with a just bit of drag. Ella is suitable for beginners or advanced users, although texture lovers might find it lacking.

The only hint of texture on Ella is a slight ridge towards the top of the straighter end of the shaft (it does not continue on the G-spot end. It is really barely noticeable, and I'm not aware of it in use. There is also a "Lelo" emblem engraved into the shaft on both sides, but again, I don't feel it during use.

The design is absolutely perfect. She is beautiful, almost like a piece of modern art. Sometimes I just take her out to admire her, although I always end up playing. I can’t help it!

This is one sexy design, not to mention that it is completely functional. Both ends work well as either a handle or a dildo. The G-spot curve is amazing and has never failed to give me an incredible G-spot orgasm, while the traditional end makes for a nice warm-up.

Its shape and size make it completely non-intimidating and can easily be used by beginners. It is a good toy to introduce to partner play since it is discreet, fairly small, and not at all realistic.


It is also virtually seamless. There is one tiny seam running up the body of the toy, but it’s really only visible upon close inspection. While I am sensitive to seams, I never once felt this during use, so it’s a non-issue. Since it is rather petite, it is easy to hide and fairly discreet. It is very sturdy and with no vibrations or motors, it is suitable for travel.

Both ends are divine! I first focused on the G-spot end, due to its insane ability to make me gush. It is so amazing; it gives me firm pressure right where I need it, and the size makes it easier to insert than other toys. It is excellent for thrusting and never fails to give me a great orgasm. The first time I used it I was completely amazed. I wasn't sure I even had a G-spot, but this end zeroed in on it and within minutes I experienced by first G-spot orgasm.



On the other hand, it took me some more time to enjoy the traditional end. At first it felt a bit boring, especially compared to the G-spot end. But now? I love it, especially for warm-up.

Although this end appears a bit pointy, it has never hit my cervix, and insertion is comfortable. While inserted, the G-spot end makes an excellent handle for slowly thrusting in and out. This end also works nicely for rocking up against the G-spot, but isn’t nearly as intense as the as the flat G-spot side. Honestly, even though I do enjoy it, I never use it for that long! It’s kind of like foreplay to me, while the G-spotter is the main event. However, it is quite fantastic to have a warm-up dildo and amazing G-spotter all in one. Lelo really thought this one through.

Like all 100% silicone toys, Ella is super easy to care for. She is easily cleaned with soap and water, or can be boiled, or even thrown in the dishwasher (seriously!) on the top rack without any detergent to be disinfected. I've never attempted this, because, well, I don't have that many toys, and I don't want to run a whole load without detergent just for my Ella. Boiling is a great way to sanitize it, but I find soap and water works just fine for my purposes.

The only thing that may require more is the LELO emblem that is carved into the side. This sometimes requires a bit more scrubbing to remove any leftover lube. If anything is dried up in there, a quick soak in warm soapy water should do the trick. I generally let Ella air dry after cleaning, unless I’m in a rush to put her away, simply because silicone does tend to collect a bit of lint. Since silicone generally doesn’t play well with silicone lubes, I only use water-based lubes with my Ella.

Ella came with a lovely satin pouch, which I use for storage. She also came in a beautiful, discreet black box, which I find a bit large for storing Ella. But, it is such high-quality box that I had to keep it, and I use it to store my condoms!
