Ella - dildo by LELO - review by missymery

This toy is so gorgeous, so elegant, so amazing, that you would want to use this toy for just about everything! Lucky for you, it can be used for many things to make you filled with pleasure - or Ella, in her case. The LELO Ella is probably best used for g-spot stimulation, as well as a classical dildo. My boyfriend and I used this as a foreplay toy, as well. Using the g-spot end, we use it on my clit, as well my breasts. The soft texture of this toy really made it work for almost everything. Teasing, foreplay, or sexual play, this toy is amazing and hits all the right spots. Temperature play? Of course the Ella can do so! But be careful! It does not have a flared base, and is a bit small (and maybe even too oddly shaped!) for anal play. But don't let that discourage at all because the things this toy can do outshines having no anal time with this toy. Plus side to being small, though. This toy is nice and discreet. Of course if you take it out and wave it around, people will know. But it's a nice small toy that can be taken while traveling, in the car, and so on.

The texture of the LELO Ella is WONDERFUL! It is all silicone, which we all know is very safe! With a rating of 10 on Eden Fantasys material rating, you know this toy is safe. Smooth and non-porous are only a few plus sides to this amazing material. LELO Ella also happens to be food-grade material, latex free, phthalates free, and hypo-allergenic. Since this toy is latex free, feel free to use condoms if you want to switch from anal to vaginal play in one sitting, or to share this toy with a friend!

But if you want to share this toy and not use a condom, you can sterilize this wonderful material! Pop some water on the stove, boil it, and toss the LELO Ella in! 3-4 minutes, and your toy is sterilized. Or you can opt to put the toy in the dishwasher.

Other great additions to being silicone? Let us begin with temperature play! Cold water, warm water, however you like to get it going, this toy can bring a new feeling to your experience with it. I prefer getting this toy a bit cold and using it on my breast, or my clit. It feels amazing to have this toy nice and cold, since it's a bit hard, as well. But the Ella does have a bit of bend to it! Not much, but a tiny bit of movement. No odor from the Ella, and if yours does have a smell, a few washes and it should be gone. The silky smooth texture of this toy is just divine. Warm, cold, or just regular temperature, this toy feels so amazing on every part of your body.

Now to the negatives. None, really. But! You must use a water based lube. Since it is a silicone toy, don't even try and use a silicone based lube. It will make the surface of the toy permanently tacky. And we don't want to ruin such a gorgeous toy.

The design of the LELO Ella is just gorgeous. It's so elegant and tasteful looking. I don't even think I'd be a bit embarrassed if a friend or family member saw this toy laying about, it's that beautiful. So light looking and so gentle. The LELO Ella is 7 inches long in total, 5 of that being insertable. It has 4 inches of circumference, meaning this toy is very friendly for beginners, and a nice size for experts! One side of the Ella is designed as a classical dildo. Some people have complained that the pointed end is a bit painful, but I haven't had an issue with it what so ever. It's so smooth going in, and I happen to appreciate the point, for easier insertion. It's a nice girth, and feels so heavenly inside of you; no fuss getting out, either. The other end of the Ella is for g-spot stimulation. It's a flat, slightly tipped end made to hit that spot we all love. And it does! Of course everyone's body is different, so it might not work for everyone, but for me? Perfection. I had no issues with catching on the pelvic bone like others, and I had no issues with removing the toy. No friction, no fuss taking it out, just smooth insertion, play, and taking out of the toy.

This is really a non-threatening toy if you're a beginner. This toy's size, shape, and design are really great for a first time user's toy. It's gentle, easy and has two ends to experience with. Nothing tricky with this toy, nothing to figure out, and a good size for someone who doesn't want something very large.

The LELO Ella performs perfectly for me, but as I said before, maybe not for everyone. Since all our bodies are different, some may not be able to hit their g-spot with this toy, and the toy may catch on the pelvic bone a bit. I've also read that some feel it's a bit tricky to remove the toy sometimes after play. But with all that aside, this toy was pure perfection for me. It really hits my g-spot and feeling amazing doing so. I like the fact that the Ella has hardness to it, making me able to push up on my g-spot more, and it drives me insane. The other part of the toy, the dildo side, is amazing as well. Holding onto the g-spot side makes you able to move this toy in and out easily, and as fast as you'd enjoy. My boyfriend loved using this toy on me. He said the feeling of this toy going in and out was amazing, because of how smooth it is. It never had much friction, and was easy to hit my g-spot with. He also used it on my clit, and on my breasts, both which felt amazing if he tempered this toy with some cold water. Running this toy along your body, everywhere, is amazing. He has a thing for feet, so he ran it up the soles of my feet, and it got me going so easily.

We have yet to use this toy in the shower, but we will! No vibrations, no batteries, 100% waterproof! Take the Ella with you to the shower for an even more exciting time. But since you do have to use a water based lube, you better be excited and ready to go if you want to use this toy, as water based lube doesn't last long in water.

The only negative is, I guess, no anal play. While I, personally, am not very into anal play, I know many people are. With no flared base and a bit of a smaller size, I wouldn't suggest trying anal without much precaution.

LELO couldn't have made it easier to clean and store this toy, unless they had someone do it for you every time! The Ella, being silicone, is super easy to clean. You can do several things. Since this toy is waterproof, you can boil it for 3 minutes to sterilize it. You can also put this toy on the top rack of your dishwasher to clean and sterilize. Or, you can be simple and wash this toy with warm water and some light antibacterial soap. Nothing heavy. I do suggest, after drying this toy off, to let it sit and finish air drying completely before putting it away in its storage.

Speaking of storage, LELO makes it very convenient. You can either choose to store the Ella in the box she comes in, which is very appropriate, or you can store her in the nice satin pouch she comes with. Also, if you have a toy unit you use for storing, she would fit very nicely in there.

LELO is famous for their packaging! I have yet to see a more sleek and sexy packaging than theirs. My boyfriend and I were so impressed when we received our first LELO toy. They first have a very nice box with LELO printed on the front. When you slide the box within the package box out, it's a very nice and sexy black box, with LELO written on it, again. This box has a top and a bottom. Taking off the top, you'll see your Ella sitting in a mold of her form, in black plastic. Over her is another mold of clear plastic covering her. Very nice packaging and storage right there, already! But there is more. When you lift the black plastic, you'll have the bottom of the black box. You have your wonderful one year warranty, and a satin pouch! This packaging makes it wonderful for storage.

I loved using this toy. It felt amazing, and it looks gorgeous. My boyfriend loves using it on me, and I love when he does! You can do so much with this toy, and the temperature play. It's discreet, so I can take it around with me. And easy to store and keep up with cleaning this toy. It was my first real dildo, and I can't say I need another one; this one does almost everything I need.
