Vibrator for couples discontinued
by

Ida and Me

I expected a high quality luxury toy and that is exactly what I got! This toy is share able, powerful, unique, quiet, high quality and rechargeable. It is also one of the most versatile and unique toys I own. I definitely recommend trying this one if you are in the market for a luxury toy.

Use

LELO has set the bar very high with this newest addition to the line up. Built to have a little bit of something special for everyone this toy will appeal to everyone regardless of genital configuration or sexual (toy) experience.

This toy has insertable parts, resting parts, is rechargeable, is easy to clean and keep clean, has different speeds and strengths, it has a remote control feature, and looks visually appealing. it is high end luxury that is perfect for gift giving or keeping for yourself.

Right so we've talked about the overview- what does this toy offer specifically? The toy reminds me of a finger or perhaps a tongue. It moves in a unique fashion that I'll discuss a bit later. It isn't terribly long but it is highly flexible and can reach a low G spot easily. It stimulates the clitoris in several ways and can be used to stimulate any erogenous area via the small vibrating disc on either partner. It can be used to stimulate the anal ring much like a finger as a great warm up to anal sex. This is a powerful little stimulator and is suitable for all players.

The finger portion of the toy can be controlled via the flat disc which also vibrates and pulses in time with the finger portion. This turns a fun remote control toy into a truly share able toy. It is wireless and waterproof just for an added little bit of luxury!

Material / Texture

This is a LELO toy so one should expect luxury materials and silky smooth textures. The Ida has both in spades. It is covered in the softest most silky silicone layer on both the insertable portion and the disc. The silicone is slightly matte but it slicks up quickly and easily with just a drop of lube. Most reviewers will insist that only water based lube be used but I have used it with silicone and hybrid lubes with no discernible change in the finish of my toy. Simply spot test a small area before slathering the toy in lube and carry on!

The bottom of the toy pieces is gorgeous shiny metal that I have trouble saying is silver or gold. It seems to change in the different lighting but it's gorgeous either way. It is stamped with the LELO logo and provides a great place to hold the toy. It feels luxurious.

Since this is a silicone toy there is no smell associated with it and it doesn't seem to hold onto scent either. There are no crevices that hold onto fluids or dirt and this toy doesn't seem to attract lint like silicone toys can.

This is a silky, smooth toy that is suitable for a first time toy or for a jaded old reviewer like me.

Design / Shape / Size

This toy is designed to be as exciting to use solo as it is to share and it hits the mark exceptionally well- as one would expect from LELO. The toy can be used as a remote control unit or as a single stimulator easily and with no loss of power. It is quiet and discreet.

I can see a bit of room for improvement...or maybe for variation (?) in how long and thick the finger portion is but I would expect the power to bleed away the larger and longer the finger becomes so maybe this is perfect just the way it is! Still a bigger base on the finger portion could turn a hand held device into a ridable one- just a thought.

The toy is just the right size if your G spot is easily reached or you really like being fingered to orgasm. Both are amazing for me so I have quickly fallen in love with this toy! Since the control disc vibrates as well my partner can tell just how much stimulation I am receiving and adjust accordingly. He can also use the disc to stimulate himself or me in another area.

Honestly, this toy would be perfect for a first time user looking for a one of a kind toy that might cost more but won't need to be replaced...well probably won't ever need to be replaced with proper care and maintenance!

The toy comes in a suitable storage box and it is small enough to tuck away in a lingerie drawer or toy box. It is discreet and good for travel. One of the oddest design features is the fact that the controller disc is powered by 2 AA batteries while the finger portion is rechargeable. It's almost like the controller was an afterthought. It works though and it is a very unique feature but I do wish the disc was rechargeable as well.

    • Ergonomic
    • Partner play

Functions / Performance / Controls

When I first saw the toy I had to take a moment to decide what the thing was actually designed to do. It's not that the toy is totally foreign it's just totally different than anything else I have in my collection. Once I had charged it up and had some time to hold it I realized that this is designed to be like a finger in function- and it works amazingly like the dexterity of a human finger.

The finger part of the insertable piece is about the same length of my index finger and about the same size, that is to say 3.5 inches long and about 3 inches wide at the tip. It rotates in a small circle but given that the motor is in the tip of the toy it isn't a full circle only it also seems to reach forward at the apex of the circle like a "come hither" motion. The reach is slight but easily felt and totally different than anything else I have ever used except a finger!
The base of this piece vibrates and this is where the variation comes in to play. The vibrations go from steady to pulsating and then escalating with the push of the button either on the control disc or the toy itself.

The disc controls the vibration strength and pattern of the finger portion and it also mimics the pattern so it can be used on a partner or another part of the same user's body. The controls are easy to figure out and damn near impossible to accidentally change during play. They are easy to change intentionally, however. This is a very quiet toy but it has a high pitched whine to it that carries. You can hear it being used in the room it is in but close even a thin door and you can't hear anything.

The Ida is waterproof and we have used it in our hot tub with no problems. I was worried about the plug in port but it seems to handle the heat and water just fine. Shower and tub use should be no issue either.

Care and Maintenance

This is a silicone toy so a wash in hot water and soap is all it really needs. You can use a commercial toy cleaner or a 10% bleach and water spray in a pinch but be sure to rinse thoroughly.

Store in the box it comes in or a small box to prevent the toy from jostling around in a drawer or toy box.

    Thank you for the review! I've seen so many negative reviews for this toy that your positive take really stands out. It seems like an awesome toy, and now I want it a lot more. : )
  • Contributor: Ansley
    Fantastic review!! I have to say I initially turned my nose up at it because I thought it was going to be like all of the other couples vibes but after reading this, I'm extremely impressed. Thanks for including the pics!
  • Contributor: charmedtomeetyou
    I have read review that say the toy really isn't compatible with thrusting...did you find this to be the case? Did it allow for thrusting and stay put?
  • Contributor: Airen Wolf
    If you mean thrusting of a penis while the toy is in place? Well it is doable if the thrusting is controlled and slow but it will slide out without a hand to hold it in place. We found grinding seems to work best and it's definitely a sensation I recommend.
    If I am on top it is fairly easy to control the toy with a finger, either mine or his. If we are missionary we tend to use the disc as a clitoral stimulator rather than the finger part because it does slip and slide around a bit more than we are taking time to deal with...but then again we are kinda rough in that position.

    If you are looking for something like the We-Vibe this won't work but it's still worth it for the things it CAN do...and the disc is easy to slip in over a clit even for larger folks like us. I'd say if you are in the market for a luxury toy for both of you that will be fun to try out in different positions this is a great choice. The versatility is amazing even if it falls short in the thrusting while inserted category.
  • Contributor: charmedtomeetyou
    Ok Thanks! The Lelo site markets this as a couples toy, and claims to work in a wide range of positions to enhance lovemaking. I assumed that meant it could be used during thrusting, but it seems not. It's definitely more of a "girl on top" toy, huh?
  • Contributor: Missy27
    Thanks for the great review. I was also trying to see how this would work in classic missionary thrusting positions. Looks like a great toy for solo play and several other uses though.
  • Contributor: John E W
    Thanks for the review! Quite useful) got any idea what the diameter of the inner part closest to the base is? The most narrow part!
    Thanks
