Poor Ella- She Was Unable to Beat My Fella.

Ella is beautiful, but she can take time to master. She may not be the right fit for every person, but I do believe with time and patience she can be enjoyable.

extremely useful review

Use

The Ella has two ends. One end is slightly bulbous, which allows for Ella to reach the g-spot with an astonishing accuracy. The other end is wider in width, but no curve to allow for straight penetration. This toy, I believe, would be best suited for solo play and also for someone who is still trying to find the right angel for g-spot stimulation. Ella is not flared at any end so it is not recommended to use her anally.

Material / Texture

Ella is made out of a latex free, non-porous, hypo-allergenic, silicone material. You will not believe how smooth she is. As with other reviews on the Ella, I found it hard to stop stroking her once I removed all her packaging. She is so smooth that very little lube is needed, if any, to use her. I tried to smell her, but all I could smell was the box which did not hold Ella for very long. Even though it is very soft, there is little to no, plushy feel. This is a pretty firm lady with only a tiny flex at the curved end.

Design / Shape / Size

Ella has a length of 7" with an insertable length of 5". She is only 4" at her widest point; so not a very large circumference. She does have a little bit of weight to her at 0.3 lbs. I found her weighted body to be very interesting. I loved that she felt as impressive as her reputation. She was not so large that she intimidated me. This toy is not realistic looking which is why I believe she could go anywhere with you and no one would know. No batteries to deal with so she would be a lovely addition to travel with.
    • Discreet look/design

Performance

The best thing about this toy is that you have two sides to choose from. If one side is not working for you, you can go to the other and try a completely different toy. What I personally did not like about it is the sharp curve on the one end. Ella is designed with this curve to make her a g-spot goddess, but I found this curve to get stuck on my pelvic bone. This caused a larger than expected sore spot for a few days. This is a toy with a learning curve, so taking your time is my best advice.

Care and Maintenance

This toy is extremely easy to take care of. There are no openings in the toy so it is waterproof. It can be put into the dishwasher or you can boil it. You can even use bleach on this toy to make sure it is super clean. Ella comes with a wonderful little black bag to store her in so she can stay in pristine condition all the time.
    • Easy to clean
    • Easy to store

Packaging

I could not believe how beautiful and elaborate Ella's packaging was. First, she came in this beautiful white box that just looked angelically beautiful, then you open her and everything inside is black. It made me think of the black box my engagement ring came in. Not only is the inside all black, but the next box is black. You pull that black box out and open the lid to find a beautiful white Ella sitting snug in her perfect little nook. She is covered on top with a blanket of see through plastic. Under her is a beautiful little black bag with storage and three booklets. One booklet is on Ella herself and some pretty good instructions on how she will be able to help in your quest of a magical night. The next book is your 1 year warranty information. The final booklet is on your 10 year warranty. Not many toys I know of that have warranties this long. I promise her packaging is every bit as regal looking as Ella is herself.
    • Good for storage

Personal comments

I wanted to note that this review has been very difficult for me. Ella and I had some strong words towards each other at the beginning, but we are learning how to make peace and work together to find a balance. This is after many hours of effort from both of us. I first tried to use her with my husband, no lube, and penetration straight off. This was a plan that was doomed to fail from the get go. So, after making a beautiful toy turn into a torture device, I put her away, way away. After a week and a large amount of research, I brought her out again. This time I brought along my Pjur lube, Hitachi and a large amount of patience. This time around I was able to enjoy the experience of Ella, but more so for the foreplay and not so much for the fireworks.

Experience

I want to point out that my experience is just that, my experience. I have read review after review on how well she works for other people. We are still working on our relationship, but I do believe we are getting closer to the happily ever after. Each new date brings forth more favorable experiences. I have learned to be very patient with Ella and let her do some of the work. I have also found that she is a better friend during solo play. I found laying on my side made her very uncomfortable, but laying on my back or belly made my toes curl. It also helped to use her in a rocking technique to just hit the right spot.
Follow-up commentary
We really have tried to become friends, but I still find her to be a cruel lover. One moment she will entice me to enjoy her beautiful curve, and then just as the date is getting enjoyable she will turn the tables on me. Now, after a few months, I can say we just were not able to find a happy ground. I will keep her in her secret little box for the day we try our dance again, but for now she is just not the one for me.

Thank you everyone for reading my review. I really do hope it will help others out. This is one toy that did not make it my maybe later box. Too bad because it was very pretty.

Thanks for the review. The whole catching on the pelvic bone thing really worries me about this toy!

Cherrylane. I can tell you I tried on my knees,side,back and even with the Liberator and could not find a truly comfortable spot. Now I have heard others have no issues but for me it caused pain unless I went really slowly and with a lot of lube and on my side was the best position for me to be in while using her.

  • 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
    • i'm wondering this too. i bought gigi and was disappointed but ella seems even better should I or shouldn't I?

  • 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!
    • Quote: 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!
      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 is perfect for beginners. I had tried several other G-spot toys before Ella. Ella was the first one that worked for me. Several people have had their first successes with Ella.

      I'm glad Ella seems like such a successful toy! I hope she works for me, too <3

  • 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!

      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.

      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.
