Shaped Kinda Like A Telephone... A Naughty, Sexy Telephone
Artistically simple, designed for your pleasure in a safe yet luxurious way. "Double-ended dildo" means you're getting two toys in one. The Lelo Ella is great for G-spot stimulation with no noisy sounds normally associated with vibrating toys. 100% silicone retains heat for a more realistic feel, and also means she is very easy to clean. A low maintenance, practical and effective toy.Published: December 19, 2011

Use
The Lelo Ella is a silicone, non-vibrating, double-ended dildo that is very smooth to the touch. She has some drag against skin so she won't easily slip away while lubricated. A very streamlined beautiful toy--very pleasing to the eye as well as more sensitive areas!
Ella is great to use with a partner or by yourself. She's very durable and easy to grip--a toy that will last in any nympho's collection.
One end is hooked with a flat surface that is targeted for G-spot stimulation. The tapered end has a bulge in the middle designed for more traditional penetration. It's literally two toys in one.
You can use her without fear of being heard because she has no noisy vibrations. Unless you count moaning! Let's just say she made it into the top TEN dildos and dongs for a reason.
Design / Shape / Size
She is very light at only 0.3 lb, not hard to hold in use for long periods of time. She's firm to the touch--not squishy like some toys. Her hooked end can bend, but only very slightly with a lot of pressure. So she will not bend easily during rough use.
In total length she comes to 7" with an insertable length of 5". You can use either end depending what you prefer. Her hook end is designed for G-spot stimulation; the other for a more traditional penetration. Both ends fit quite comfortable for me, not too slender and not too big. Although I usually prefer my toys a bit larger than this is. The Ella would probably be uncomfortable if she was much larger because of the curved flat-topped end. So I’d say she is a well-balanced toy all in all.
There are no seams or annoyances. Very streamline. The word 'Lelo' is imprinted into the toy but is very tiny and not noticeable other than visibly.
I personally prefer her shape and design over more realistic dildos. She's more artistically appealing, and more discrete than realistic ones. I myself am an artist and am drawn to beautiful pieces of art and pleasure. How could I pass up this one?
Packaging
You'll find your Lelo Ella inside a plain, black, sturdy cardboard box with the words 'Lelo' imprinted on the top of the box. There is a clear plastic holder over her for extra protection which comes off easily. The box she's in you will want to keep to store her in so she stays nice and clean. Plus, in the bottom of the box is your Lelo one-year warranty and a small booklet of Lelo products. This will keep it all organized for you.
It's a pretty discrete box. It's smooth and flat black. It's not shiny, nothing that will leave fingerprints or catch anyone’s eye. There's also a little satiny bag in the box that you can put your Ella in. Very good for traveling! But I just put it over her in the box to keep dust away.
It's really a quality product you can tell as much just from her packaging. The Lelo line carries all quality products so you know you’re getting a toy that is not only luxurious but also designed exactly for its purpose.
You also get a free Lelo lubricant with your Lelo purchases! So if you don't already have a water based lube you won’t have to wait to use her so you can run to the store and get lube.
Follow-up commentary
3 months after original review
The Lelo Ella is still a great product for me, I love everything about her. Although I have been using her less and less, favoring toys that do vibrate. I’m also branching out into new toy shapes. So I’m not using her less because I dislike her but because I’ve had more products to use and review.
She is great and durable; Ella looks exactly the same as when I bought her. I’ve really tried to take care of her and will always think of her as a great buy. I love her shape and the fact she is double ended as well as silicone. A great price for all those features really, also being a signature Lelo brand toy doesn’t hurt! I’d still recommend her to anyone interested in getting into great materials and dildos. She was definitely my dildo stepping stone into a whole new world of play and toys.

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
-

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!

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 was the first one that worked for me. Several people have had their first successes with Ella.

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! -
Quote: 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?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.
They both seem so worth it, it's hard to just pick one!
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.
