Ellove - traditional vibrator discontinued by Fun Factory - review by chelseahotel1224

Fun Factory's Ellove went from my wish list to my nightstand very quickly, and is now my go-to vibrator. The site description boasts that is has a g-spot curve, but it is great for both clitoral and g-spot stimulation. With my other vibrators, I was never really interested in g-spot stimulation, and this vibrator has changed that for me. This toy is wonderful and would be great for anyone: a beginner, an advanced user, for couples... I've used it to stimulate my g-spot and clitoris, and I've used it on my boyfriend as well. The multiple vibration settings make this toy great to use anywhere and anytime.

According to the website, the Ellove is 100% silicone and non-porous, phthalates free, hypo-allergenic, and latex free. It has a lovely velvety and smooth texture that feels wonderful. As you can see in the picture, this vibrator is completely smooth without any bumps or ridges for additional stimulation. Even though I really enjoyed the ridges on my first vibrator, I'm not missing it with this toy. What it 'lacks' in texture, it truly makes up for in vibration.

The Ellove is a smooth vibrator with two features that I love: the g-spot curve and a 'pointed tip.' The g-spot curve allows you to focus the vibrations on your g-spot very easily. The 'pointed tip' isn't pointy, but rather, soft. This tip allows you to focus on clitoral stimulation easily as well. So really, this vibrator is very flexible in providing the exact stimulation that you're looking for.

The size also worked really well for me. I liked both the length (6 inches, insertable) and the thickness (1.75 inches), as these are similar to other vibrators that I own. I store my Ellove in my toy bin easily. However, this I don't think that this toy is discreet and may not be suitable for travel. The vibrator is one pound and may be a little big for travel; I prefer to bring smaller toys. And something that I've noticed with this vibrator is the longer that I have and use it, the louder it gets. It seems to be at a plateau now, but when I first got the toy, it was exceptionally quiet. Now I consider it to be okay under covers or with the TV or music on, as I have roommates.

This toy has three buttons: a plus sign to increase intensity/turn on, a minus sign to decrease intensity/turn off, and a turbo boost button to quickly intensify vibrations. These buttons are all located at the end of the vibrator and are very easy to use and convenient. The boost button is especially wonderful; while the plus and minus sign are right next to one another, the boost button is a teeny bit farther away, so that I haven't mistaken the minus sign for the boost in the heat of the moment (thank goodness). I also love that this vibrator has a ton of settings: it has at least five settings that vary in intensity and get very powerful at the end as well as settings that change the pulse of the vibrations. I prefer to use the constant vibrations, but all of the settings feel great.

Like I mentioned before, it seems as though the Ellove has gotten noisier over time, but in the overall scheme of vibrators, it is still fairly quiet. Since my last Fun Factory vibrator probably died from water usage, I have kept my Ellove out of the shower. It has gotten wet from cleaning, however, and is still fine. The one aspect of the toy design that was difficult to understand was the battery compartment. I found it difficult at first to get the compartment open and to close it. Also, nowhere in the compartment does it say which way the batteries go, so that was a guessing game. Once everything was figured out, it wasn't that bad. It helped that this toy is great with battery life. I use generic, crappy batteries, and even they will last for several weeks with almost daily play.

The Ellove is very easy to care for. When I'm done my session, I simply wash it with soap and water, and that's all it needs. Do not try to boil this toy to clean it; it is only splash proof and it could ruin the vibrator. If you don't like using soap and water, your favorite toy cleaner will work. Remember that because the toy is made out of silicone, you cannot use silicone lubes with it unless you're also using a condom. Water-based lubricants are definitely your best bet.

The Ellove is my perfect vibrator. It spends every night on my nightstand because I use it almost daily. Due to its multiple speeds and ability to stimulate my clitoris and my g-spot wonderfully, I love it. It's versatile and so easy to use. I can either take my time and build up to an intense orgasm or I can turn it all the way up and orgasm very quickly. My boyfriend also loves using it with me. It's a great vibrator for everyone and the toy that I would recommend most.
