Ina - sex toy by LELO - review by Love Perpetua

Oh, Ina. I had such high hopes for you. You were my first fancy rabbit vibe, after a brief but pleasurable affair with a much less expensive, battery operated rabbit. But alas, we were not meant to be. You seem to think I secretly wanted a clit clamp, when all I wanted was a combined orgasm. We met once, and after a very frustrating first time together, I put you away for a while. Out again you came, since I was determined to make things work. You seemed to have everything I could possibly want in a rabbit. Beautiful, sleek design. Body safe silicone, with a plastic base. Completely rechargeable. A four button, light up control panel, with variable speeds and vibration patterns. A rich, vibrant orange that was even more beautiful in person. Dual motors for G-spot and clitoral stimulation. I thought you were the one.

So I was incredibly frustrated when, like someone who had just seen a clitoris for the first time, you decided to jam your clitoral arm into my pubic bone. Cute, I thought. First time jitters, you'll loosen up eventually. But sexually, you and my clit just didn't get along.

The insertable portion is still great - the vibrations feel excellent if I hold the clit portion away. I think this would probably work if you love a lot of clitoral pressure. The vibration patterns are excellent, but I just couldn't focus on enjoying them. Because honestly, the clit arm was way too overwhelming for me, and as a result, I didn't really feel anything on my G-Spot. I was too busy wondering when it would start to feel pleasurable rather than painful. However, when I remove it and hold it in my hand, I can tell the G-spot vibrations would be delicious, and the clit stimulation is OMG intense. If only there were more space between the arms, it would have been perfect.

This is a beautiful toy. Even though I don't use it, I sometimes like to take it out of the box and just feel the soft, velvety silicone, and play with the light-up touch pad. Savoring the feeling of the vibration patterns in my hand, wishing I could use them to get off.

The color of the silicone is a rich, vivid orange, and is very inviting and warm in color. I can see a faint seam running vertically down the silicone, but I cannot feel it in use at all. The base is made of a shiny white plastic, with buttons that feel like soft silicone, and the bottom has a cover that plugs the charging port. It stays attached to the toy, so you will never lose it, and fits in snugly.

I love the shape of the insertable portion. It has a gentle curve, and is wide enough to be felt and fit snugly against my G-spot, but isn't so big that I struggle to insert it. The clitoral arm is long enough, and reaches my clit perfectly, but I think it is too close to the G-spot arm. If it were about half an inch farther, or just a little bit more flexible, it would have been perfect.

I wouldn't say that this toy is that discreet, but it is incredibly classy looking. I think it is suitable for travel because the keypad can be locked, so it wouldn't accidentally turn on in your luggage.

There are two motors in this toy, one at the tip of the clitoral arm, and one in the bulge of the G-spot portion. I felt as though the motor in the clitoral arm was significantly stronger than the G-spot arm, but I think part of that was because of the intense pressure on my clit.

There are four buttons located on the base of the toy, which are easily accessible while it is in use. The two vertical buttons are the up and down buttons, and are used to scroll through the vibration patterns. On the right and left of the handle is a minus (-) and a plus (+) button, which change the intensity of the vibration.


The controls are pretty intuitive, and easy to use. There is a steady vibration as well as many vibration patterns, some of which are really interesting! There is one in particular that feels like it is vibrating it's way from the top of your clit right up to the G-spot and back.

The Lelo Ina is a very quiet toy, and definitely could not be heard through covers, let alone behind a closed door, so I wouldn't worry about anyone suspecting you are using a vibrator. It is also rechargeable, and the charge lasted me through multiple uses.

The insertable portion is made of 100% silicone, so it is easy to clean. I just wash it with soap and water, being careful not to touch the plastic. It is not waterproof, so don't submerge this for cleaning! Also, since it is made of silicone, I only use water-based lubricant, since silicone lubes can compromise the material. I store it in its satin bag, inside the box, which is also big enough to store lubricant, and another small toy, if you'd like.

Lelo toys are beautifully packaged, and really give off an air of luxury. The Ina came in a shiny white & orange box, which covered a subtle black cardboard box, which I use for storage. It has the word LELO embossed on the cover, and looks sort of like a small, narrow shoebox. It definitely does not scream "I have a sex toy in here!" The package also comes with a charger, a one year warranty, a ten year quality guarantee, and a detailed user manual that describes the functions in multiple languages, including English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Chinese & Japanese. One of my favorite things is that it includes a beautiful drawstring black satin pouch with white lining for storage. So elegant!
