The VIP of sex toys
The Lelo Ella is a beautiful, classy, and multifunctional toy. Whether you're looking for the best g-spot toy ever, or a thruster, this toy will become an instant favorite! The Ella will become your go-to toy and, I'm sure like me, you and Ella will also have a wonderful long-lasting relationship.Published: July 31, 2009
Pros:
Body safe, double-ended, great for the g-spot or thrusting, elegant, sturdy, and so much more!
Cons:
The pouch is a little cheap, and it collects dust.
Follow-up commentary
5 months after original review
The Ella is still a great G-spot toy, and a regular dildo (on the long and straight end, of course). After getting the vibrating version of Lelos' G-spot toys, the Ella got bumped down on my favorites list, but you can't beat the smooth feel, or the stabilizability. The Ella is actually currently with a friend, after we had a boil Valynns' toys event :)

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!

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.

Thank you for viewing Ella – dildo review page!
Great review! Glad you like it. You'll love the Gigi as well once you get that.
I'm so glad to see that you liked Ella as much as I do! Nice review too!
This is a good review. I love the beautiful shape.
Thank you all! @newme21, I really do want to get a Gigi, but I promised my bf I'd stop buying stuff till after my birthday!
I'm totally jealous! This thing has been on my wishlist for weeks, but Alan placed our order on EdenFantasys this month and he didn't get it (grumble grumble). Can somebody pinch him for me? LOL
Aww! Just tell him it's so well priced! You can't Not get it!
I know I can't believe how inexpensive it is. I think I'm going to print off a bunch of pictures of it and stick them different places he'll find them... in his shirt pocket, his lunchbox, his car console, etc... he should get the hint then!
Glad to hear this worked for you!
Lol Michele! Good idea!
Thanks Sammi!
I was surprised by the inexpensive price too. It looks so elegant. Nice review!
I know it is usually wise not to use silicone lube with silicone products but one manufacturer of silicone toys (Tantus) actually recommends a silicone lubricant (Pjur Bodyglide) with their silicone toys because they're both 100% pure. Spot testing is always wise but silicone lube can be used with silicone products, you just have to go the extra mile and choose a pure silicone lubricant and give it a little test.
Great job with the review. It makes me want one really badly (as if I already didn't.)
Thank you for the review!
Thanks for the review!
