Ella - g-spot dildo discontinued by LELO - review by Cora Jane

Ella is pretty damn close to being the perfect dildo. Functional on both ends, Ella has one side for G-spot stimulation, and the other with a more conventional, phallic shape that flares slightly around the middle. With a discreet and classy design, Ella is not only fantastic for solo time, but she is also the ideal toy to introduce to your partner for couples play, as she is far less intimidating than many traditional dildos.

Since Ella does not have a flared base, this toy is not recommended for anal use.

Ella is made of body safe silicone, has a smooth, velvety surface, and has no bad taste or odor. Silicone is nonporous and repels dirt and bacteria, making this a very safe toy for vaginal insertion. The silicone also has some flexibility, so Ella can be easier to insert and adapt to your body shape than harder materials such as glass or steel.

Ella is a great luxury toy for beginners, but she will also be adored by experienced users.

The best thing about Ella is the beautiful, luxurious design. Near the G-spot tip, she has a nice curve that enhances the stimulation at this end and also allows for an easier insertion of the phallic end. With approximately 5" of insertable length and a 1 1/4" diameter, she may not be the best choice if you have a preference for large dildos, but for beginners and "average" users, Ella's size is ideal for its intended use.

Ella's appearance is so classy and discreet that you wouldn't even need to hide her (although she comes with such a lovely pouch you'll want to store her in it anyway). Because of this, she's very suitable for keeping near the bedside or bringing along on a trip.

Although Ella looks like a simple little toy, she has a lot to offer in terms of performance. Her two sides are ideal for different types of stimulation - the traditional end is great for thrusting (heavy and deep, or gentle and shallow, depending on your preference), while the G-spot tip is perfect for rocking back and forth and massaging the G-spot.

Ella also provides different sensations when you try her in different positions, so be sure to experiment with what works best for you (on your stomach, on your back, doggy style, or standing).

Ella comes with a small manual that describes the ideal cleaning and storing options for this toy. You should read this carefully before use. Silicone toys can be boiled or thrown in the dishwasher for cleaning (although Ella's manual specifies to never expose her to extreme heat, so I personally don't use these methods) or cleaned with warm water and antibacterial soap. If cleaning the toy by hand, pay extra attention to the small grooves where the LELO signature is imprinted in order to prevent bacteria from gathering in the small corners. Also avoid using toy cleansers that contain alcohol, petrol, or acetone.

You'll want to keep Ella away from other toys, as the silicone can react to certain materials. She comes with a lovely, silk pouch for storage.

Ella's packaging is beautiful and makes a great gift. She comes in a classy, black box that includes an instruction manual, warranty information, a silky pouch for storage, and a small packet of lube, so you're ready to go right away.

The simple, discreet box can also be kept to store the toy if you don't want to leave Ella out in the open.
