Ella - g-spot dildo discontinued by LELO - review by Emma (Girl With Fire)

The Ella is designed as a small double sided dildo intended for personal use. It is best suited for pretty much any woman seeking fantastic g-spot stimulation, it is small enough for beginners but will satisfy even the most advanced sex toy aficionados. It can be used by those who enjoy a thrusting motion or rocked against the g-spot, both providing excellent results.

Though it is a completely non porous material, it has no flared base and would not likely be safe for use anally. Other than that it would work in pretty much any situation, providing that you have enough sense not to do something silly like bring it to family dinner (that could be an awkward scene).

The Lelo Ella is constructed of 100% silicone. Silicone is a nonporous, food-grade material,that is hypo-allergenic, phthalates and latex free. Pure silicone is characterized by having no detectable odor or taste.

This particular toy comes in a matte silicone which is so smooth that it feels like satin and velvet combined. I did not find that the matte surface required any more lube than plastic or glass toys do; certainly not as much as porous materials can demand. I think that the slight drag of the texture might actually aid in stimulating the g-spot, and it definitely helps with maintaining a grip during use. The silicone is firm but not hard and stiff but not rigid; there is enough give to bend a little with your body and to not be uncomfortable during vigorous thrusting.

The design of this is really fantastic, although I was concerned at first that it looked small, the size became beneficial during use as it provided more maneuverability. It also means that just about anybody can enjoy this dildo because it isn't going to frighten them off by being the size of their grandfathers forearm.

Both ends of the Ella can be inserted, one end is designed for g-spot stimulation while the other end is tapered and somewhat pointy at the tip (not pointy enough that it's likely to damage to the cervix though). The shaft is a rounded triangular shape (picture what you would get if a triangle ate a circle or vice versa) which makes it easy to hold onto and prefect for adjusting the angle of the g-spot stimulator to allow for the best possible experience. Whichever end you choose to insert, a strong clitoral vibe can be applied to the "handle" and the vibrations will travel through the silicone and into your body.

The design is fairly discreet, so unless your friends and family know that you are into sex toys you have a 50/50 shot of them believing it's nothing more than an odd decoration. Higher than that if you are a really believable liar.

Stellar! The area of this toy that is designed to target the g-spot is exceptional. The rounded edge of the head gently bumps the g-spot before sliding across it creating additional pressure. I have a few other G-spot toys and only one(the Glass Wand) even comes close to rivaling the Ella in this department.

The opposite end of the dildo creates an entirely different experience; the tapered end is very easy to insert and the stimulation on this end is created by the widening body of the toy. Though enjoyable in comparison to the opposite side, this one really didn't do all that much for me.

To clean this puppy up simply use an antibacterial soap and water or a toy cleaner. If you want to be really thorough about it you also have three methods of sterilization to choose from

1. Submerge dildo in a pot of boiling water for 3 minutes (and DON't use your fingers to do it).
2. Clean dildo with a 10% bleach solution. Bleach will kill most organisms on contact but for full
sterilization the dildo should be submerged for a full 20 minutes.
3. Place dildo in top rack of dishwasher and run a normal cycle.

Note: for all above cleaning methods, a soft lint free towel should be used for drying.

Lubes that are compatible with this dildo are: WATER
Yep thats it, and unless you want to discover the horrible effects of using an incompatible lube you will trust me on this. (Just like you should trust the instructions!)

Storage is easy because the Ella comes with both a sturdy and stylish box and a beautiful white satin pouch giving you the opportunity to choose your preferred method of storage. Whatever you decide, keep in mind silicone toys should be kept out of direct contact with any toys you are not absolutely certain are 100% silicone; it can react badly with other materials possibly ruining a perfectly good implement of self torture.

The Ella arrives packaged in a cardboard box; 5 sides including the top of this box are whichever colour you have chosen your product in. The top bears only the Lelo insignia in 1/4" silver lettering. The other sides all bear information about the product, including the bottom which boasts a life size image of the Ella.

Inside the box you will find a second box, this one is black and made of material that reminds me of those canvassy hardcover sketchbooks. The only indicator of what the box contains is again the 1/4" Lelo insignia, only this time it's in black. This box could easily be used for presenting the Ella as a gift, it also makes for great storage. The dildo sits in molded plastic to keep it from moving around in transit. It is accompanied by an instructional booklet, a 1 year warranty, a small catalog of the products in the toy line and a white satin pouch for storage.

I love this thing.

My experience concerning the Ella was fantastic in all regards, from the moment I pulled it out of the cardboard box I was impressed. My biggest fear was that it would be too small to be satisfying but boy was I wrong. From the box, to the texture of the silicone, to the insane ease with which the Ella stimulates the G-spot I really cannot find a con with this toy. Even the shape of the handle aided in maintaining the angle of the head and the matte texture helped stop it from slipping in my hand. Did I already mention that I freaking love this thing!

I have owned the Ella for little over a week and already it has provided me with multiple gushing orgasms. I don't doubt that it will remain at my bedside for years to come.
