Ella - dildo sex toy by LELO - review by Dawn (Lilac Distraction)

LELO is synonymous with luxury and this toy doesn't fall short in that department. Ella is a wonderful toy for any woman regardless of her skill level. Beginners will love her sleek, slim shape and the intense level of g-spot stimulation that's pretty unique. Ella is a great toy for discovering your g-spot or trying to practice female ejaculation techniques. Advanced users will highly appreciate the luxury that is LELO. She has two ends that are bound to please you no matter what you're into. The curved end provides the most amazing g-spot stimulation I've ever felt. The straight end is for a more classic dildo experience. This end can be used anally, but it's not generally considered an anal toy.

For g-spot simulation, Ella is a real winner. The flat end on the curve is able to provide a wider area for g-spot stimulation than toys with a pointed end. It provides full stimulation without being super bulky. The pointed end is very slim, smooth, and sleek. It's not so much of a filling toys as others out there. Ella really isn't designed to be a full thrusting toy. The pointed end can be inserted fully, but there's not much room left over to thrust in any way that would bruise the cervix.

LELO makes some of the most amazing silicone I've had the pleasure of putting my hands on. It's very rigid, not too plush, but the neck is pretty flexible. It allows you to apply firm pressure to the g-spot and still have a little give to the toy. Silicone is amazing because it can be boiled if you wish to sterilize it. It's one of the safest materials out there, and is also highly durable. This toy comes with a one year manufacturer warranty and a 10 year quality guarantee. This toy is a worthwhile investment just because of that.

I don't usually get too excited about how toys smell, but something about this silicone made me feel all warm and fuzzy. It has a slight plastic smell, but it's actually a very pleasant one. I'm guessing that's what awesome would smell like.

Overall, Ella has a very velvety finish but not a whole lot of grab. With a little lube, the material has the most wonderful amount of glide. In my experience, additional lube wasn't even needed.

Ella is designed as a dual-ended dildo, but all of her magic is in her curved end. A lot of time g-spot toys have bulb or pointed end. Ella's g-spot stimulator is flat, which I found to be much more pleasurable than the other styles of toys. It's able to have contact with the entire g-spot instead of a small area which leads to higher levels of stimulation. Even though this end is pretty flat, it's actually very easy to insert. Ella is pretty slim in size, but she packs a major punch straight to your g-spot. The dildo is only 7" long and 1 1/4" in diameter at the largest part. (Honestly, I was expecting it to be a bit bigger.) Because of the shape of the dildo, the small, slim size actually works incredibly well.

I'm really in love with the design of this one. It looks extremely elegant and sophisticated. Even though the price of the dildo is pretty low, especially for a LELO toy, it really does look like a luxury toy. It almost doesn't look like a dildo. I could imagine this hanging out with some super high-end kitchen equipment. With that being said, yes, it's one of the more discreet dildos out there. It looks like something you can do pinpoint massage with. (I mean, g-spot massages, right?) It's not something I feel most people would raise an eyebrow at. The small size and included travel pouch make her the best travel companion you can imagine.

I love Ella for g-spot stimulation, but she kinda falls short when used with the straight end. I just consider this to be a g-spot toy instead of a dual-ended dildo. The design and shape are wonderful for exploring your g-spot and working yourself up to female ejaculation. This g-spot dildo is actually one of the most comfortable ones I've tried.

Ella is really lightweight which cuts down on wrist fatigue. The only problem with that is the difficulty of being able to thrust as much on the g-spot like you would with heavier or bulkier toys. I found Ella felt best when thrusting upwards instead of in and out. The only other problem I have with Ella is how slippery she can get with lube or natural lubrication during use. If you have any lube on your hands, it may be hard to get a good grip because of the pointed end and the slick material. If you're using lube, it's a good idea to have something to wipe it off with before getting yourself going with this toy.

Silicone is a major win in this department. To clean Ella, you can use some soap and water or toy cleaner. If you want to sterilize her, you can boil her for up to 10 minutes or throw her in the dishwasher. From my experience, the white silicone does not stain at all. This means that you don't have to worry about covering your toy or abstaining from use while bleeding or spotting. (At first, this was something I was worried about.)

Because this is a silicone toy, you want to make sure you only used water-based lubes. Silicone lubes can damage the material and leave it permanently tacky.

Ella comes with a wonderful thick satin storage pouch (with a little LELO tag on the side of it). The pouch is amazing for storage. Everything comes nestled in a lift-off box that is made of super thick, black cardboard and makes an excellent storage solution.

I was incredibly blown away by how elegant LELO's packaging was. The box was a nice shiny white color with nothing but LELO in small letters on the front. The back of the box had an outline drawing of the dildo and a tiny bit of information. Inside this sleeve is a very sturdy two-piece lift-top box. Ella is nestled in a black, thick plastic insert. The presentation is priceless. Underneath the insert you'll find a couple of manuals and the storage pouch. This is one of the only toys I've seen that comes with such detailed instructions for care and use. There are a few little tips in the book that are really nice.

This box is perfect for gift-giving, especially if you want to take that special lady's breath away. It might as well be diamonds.


I feel like if Apple made sex toys, this would be one of them.
