Ella - sex toy by LELO - review by NuMe

In the never ending search for the Holy Grail of G-spot dildos, Ella wins hands down.

First of all, Lelo has to be the classiest, most intuitive sex toy company there is. They not only know how to make "pleasure objects" that do exactly what they're supposed to, but even the packaging is classy and beautiful. Ella is cradled nicely in a stylish black box, that is worthy of display. In it there is also a lovely white satin satchel with a draw string that you can use to store Ella in when not in use, and as with all Lelo toys, there is a one year warranty and a user manual.

Ella is simplistically beautiful, a work of art. Made of solid silicone, it's firm yet flexible. To the touch it feels soft and velvety. It comes in either black or white. I chose the white but I think the black one looks quite classy as well.

The shape of Ella is perfect for the female anatomy. It is a 7 inch long double ended dildo, which means that you can pleasure yourself with either end. The top end is where the G-spot kink is. It is flat on the end, and curved just right to hit your G-spot instinctively every time. I'm a total G-spot girl, so this is my favorite end to use most often. The other end is bulbous, with the widest point being 1 1/4 inches diameter and tapers down to what Lelo calls the pleasure point. This end is also nice for thrusting or just slow probing movements that really get you going.

Ella is so simple to use. It's easy to hold on to, easy to thrust, and knows exactly where the G-spot is. Normally I'm not coordinated enough to work my G-spot, and clit, with two different toys at the same time. But, I have used Ella twice with a vibe on my clit, and I have to say I have had two of the most amazing orgasms that I've ever had alone with toys. I do want to warn you though, you may want to keep a thick towel under you, just in case. I think some of my other dildos are going to get quite bored waiting for me to use them again because I find myself wanting to use Ella constantly now. Ella is also great for partner use. The G-spot end is completely dummy proof, and because of it's shape and flexibility, you don't have to worry about your partner hitting you too hard or in the wrong spot.

Since Ella is made completely out of silicone, it is waterproof and non-porous. I think I'm really starting to fall in love with silicone toys. They're so easy to care for and they feel amazing! Clean up is a breeze. Just a little soap and water will work fine. But if you want to, Ella is able to be sterilized. One important reminder, please never use silicone lubes with silicone toys. It can ruin them. Lelo recommends that you only use water based lubes.

Finally, Ella is not a toy that I had planned to buy, because I already had the Lelo Gigi. So you might ask, did I really need Ella when I already had Gigi? YES! A thousand times YES! I know there are many similarities to these two, but there are enough differences to justify having both of them.

Just to give you a bit of comparison. Gigi is quite firm and hard, the top half is only covered in silicone, which for some can make thrusting uncomfortable. The bottom half is hard plastic and can get slippery and hard to hold onto at times, especially if you're a squirter like I am. It's not waterproof, and the insertable part is not quite as long as Ella's. But Gigi is an amazing vibrator, with vibrations, so deep it will bring you to your knees; which makes it incredible for clitoral stimulation, and when you're in the mood to have those strong vibrations on your G-spot.

So if I had to pick between the two… I couldn't. I need, and thankfully have, both.
