Ella - dildo sex toy by LELO - review by PeachCandy

Ella by LELO is a double ended dildo that is perfect for vaginal penetration and g-spot massage. Ella makes a great solo toy as well as a fabulous mutual masturbation toy. She has two completely different shaped ends; one that is phallic-shaped that tapers to a rounded point, and one that is curved with a flat end that is designed to hit the g-spot. Ella makes a great toy for g-spotting beginners because of its size and weight, but is equally arousing for g-spot pro’s because of its shape.

Ella is completely water-proof so she can be played with in the shower, tub, Jacuzzi, or swimming pool, to change things up. The flat end of Ella could even be used for massaging sore muscles in smaller areas with a bit of lube (due to the slight drag).

Because of the shape, size, and the missing flared end, I would not recommend this for anal penetration.

Ella is made from latex-free silicone which has a magnificent material safety rating of 10/10. This silicone is non-porous, phthalate-free, and is hypoallergenic. This material does a great job of retaining heat so it is also suitable for temperature play. Silicone also repels dirt and bacteria, and is incredibly easy to maintain.

When I opened my Ella, I noticed she had absolutely no odor or taste when I put her in my mouth. Ella is super-smooth when you run your fingers across it or when you drag it across your skin. It does have the slightest bit of drag to it but it’s nothing a drop of lube won’t take care of. I think you could even use the flat end of Ella for massaging sore muscles in smaller areas like the neck, shoulders, back, etc.

I love the fact that this dildo is completely seamless. The smooth feeling against my skin and inside of my pussy can really get my juices flowing – it just feels incredibly good. Plus, the flat end (also smooth) really feels good when you rock it in and out, or massage your g-spot with it. I think beginners and those more experienced with g-spot dildos will equally appreciate the smoothness and the lack of seams with Ella. And, if you're new to squirting, Ella is an awesome toy to learn with because of her shape. If you've been trying to get yourself to squirt and haven't had any luck with other toys, definitely get yourself an Ella.

I ordered the Ella in black and she is stunningly gorgeous. Ella is also available in white and rose (actually more of a dark pink/fushcia).

Ella measures 7” long of which you can insert about 5” of. She has a curved “neck” and is somewhat bendable at that point. Ella has more girth on the ends and is somewhat smaller in the middle. At her widest point, she measures about 4" around making her a perfect sized toy for most women. My only caution to those wanting to buy her, would be that not every woman has the same size pussy and placement of the g-spot, so you may want to do a bit of measuring and experimentation before you buy. Also, this toy does not vibrate so power-queens beware.

Honestly, her shape almost resembles a door handle to me and reminds me of a handle that you would find on a set of double doors at a lodge. However, her black color, her shape, and her smoothness make Ella an incredibly sexy toy. I love the way Ella looks. She is very simple and she looks like a sex toy, but a really classy sex toy.

I think Ella is a great toy to travel with. I wouldn't exactly call her discreet but she's not a huge flesh-colored realistic looking dong either. She is airplane-safe and can be transported in checked baggage as well as carry on bags. I'm definitely not afraid to travel with her, but if your on the shy side about your sex toys, you may find yourself blushing as your bags are checked at the airport because most people will know what it is.

Performance-wise, the Ella is simply magnificent. She doesn't really have any special functions, however her double ends, smooth texture, and her awesome curve is really all she needs to take you to into a steamy moment of pure bliss.

Ella is easy to clean and maintain. You can simply wash with warm water and an antibacterial toy cleaner after use, or even a toy wipe works well. For more thorough cleaning, the Ella can be boiled in a pot for 3 minutes, soaked in a 10% bleach and water solution, or placed on the top rack in your dishwasher without being damaged.

Ella should only be used with a water-based lubricant, as silicone and oil-based lubes can damage Ella’s silicone material.

Ella comes nicely packaged in a shiny-finish box that matches the color of Ella you choose. I chose the black Ella which comes in a black box. The outside box is simple and tasteful in design. It also includes some information about the product in English, French, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, and Chinese. When you open the box, you will be able to pull out another box, which is again simple and tasteful (only containing the words "LELO" on top). The inner box has a matte finish and resembles a gift box (with a top and bottom). When you pull the top off, you will see Ella cradled in a form fitting plastic shell to keep her in place. Underneath the Ella, you will find the warranty information (she has a 1-year warranty), a silky drawstring pouch for storage, a sample packet of LELO lube, and the user's manual which is very helpful and gives hints for successful use.

The classy packaging makes Ella a perfect gift to give to someone special. She can be easily stored in her original box and/or drawstring pouch to keep her clean. If you want to ditch the packaging, you could also store Ella in a toy box, panty drawer, or in your night stand.

Because every woman's anatomy is different, I do want to point out that this toy might not work for every woman as well as it did for me. In fact, it even took me a couple of uses before I completely figured out how to make Ella work for me. So, my advise is don't give up on Ella if you are not successful the first time as she can be a little tricky because of her shape and curve. Once I figured her out, I fell in love.

The first time we used Ella, I was sitting on the couch. My husband inserted the flat g-spot end into my pussy. The smooth feeling of the Ella felt wonderful going in but when he tried to pull her back out and start thrusting, her curved flat end literally got hung up on my insides. So, he tried going in and out from another angle but it kept happening and it really didn't feel too good. I took over from there. When I inserted Ella's flat end into my pussy, again it felt really good but I figured out that that the flat end just isn't good for thrusting (especially when you are in a slouched sitting position). So, rather than thrusting with that end, I slowly worked the flat part against my g-spot and began gyrating my hips almost rocking back and forth with it. The pressure from the flat part was hitting my g-spot perfectly - it was absolutely amazing! This rocking motion with the Ella made me cum like no other dildo has before. I was blessed with multi-orgasmic abilities so I didn't stop there. I flipped her around and inserted the other end and went to work. The end with the rounded point, makes a much better thrusting toy because it doesn't have the curve to it like the flat end. So, I pushed her in and out of my pussy in varying speeds being careful not to hit my cervix with it. Like the other end, it was magical and made me cum again within just a couple minutes. I decided to try the flat side again (yep...same session) and the third time is definitely a charm. I rocked my body back and forth with Ella inside of me and finally...I squirted everywhere!

After a few more uses solo, I wanted to try her out as a couple. I got on all fours, put her flat end in my pussy so she was pressing against my g-spot which felt incredible already. Then, my husband entered me anally (doggy style) and lets just say it was a beautiful thing. As he pounded my ass, the motion kept Ella rocking inside of my pussy and rubbing on my g-spot. Once again, I squirted like someone opened the flood gates.

I have also used Ella in the shower, while taking a bath, and also in our jacuzzi because she is completely water-proof, and she is amazing every time!
