Mona - vibrator by LELO - review by Redboxbaby

The Mona is a wonderful G-spot vibrator. I hate to call her a toy because she is classier than that and much more than your average run of the mill vibrator. She is easy to use solo or for partner play. I love to use her in conjunction with the liberator wedge; putting me in the perfect position to access my g-spot easily all on my own.

Mona stimulates not only the vaginal opening and the g-spot, but she works great as a clit stimulator. Out of curiosity, I tried her as a nipple stimulator, and she is very effective there too.

I have MS and frequently encounter symptoms where I lose feeling on the surface of the skin around certain areas on my body (upper layer of skin that can feel the lightest touches). With that in mind, I have found that I need a lot of stimulation (vibration, etc.) to bring the blood to the surface so I can feel sensations in those areas more. Mona certainly has enough vibrational settings and pulsing programs to stimulate ANY area I need her to, even my neck or temples to relieve a headache, my shoulders to relieve tension and nearly everywhere muscle pain or fatigue might be an issue.

Mona is made of silicone and plastic. I was surprised when I removed her from her packaging that she had no smell or off taste at all. To touch her is electric! Her silicone skin is ultra smooth, not like anything else I have in my toy chest (she is in a class all her own). Her silicone texture feels amazingly similar to a hardened cock in your hand and when inserted, she is silky and smooth. Mona would be perfect for a beginner because she is discreet and does not have an intimidating look or feel about her. She would be a great introductory product into high class, high quality items as well.

Mona is a work of art, as most of Lelo's products are. She is ergonomically and beautifully designed. Her hourglass figure is sexy and sleek. She is amazingly soft and smooth to the touch.

I love that she NEVER needs batteries! Mona is rechargable and can last up to 4 hours before needing to plug her in again and only requiring 2 hours to completely charge.

Her north, south, east, west button controls are easy to use, but unfortunately, they can be easily bumped or pushed, making it frustrating if you accidentally change the mode or vibration just before the big moment!

Mona is considered mid-size. She is girthy right on and above my g-spot, allowing for fantastic sensations when I come, providing a very juicy orgasmic experience.

Beginners should not have a issue with Mona's size. I found her a bit on the smallish side, but able to hit all the right spots none the less.

The big plus with Mona (and most of Lelo's products) is she's discreet. If she is left on the nightstand or the bathroom counter, most kids and some adults would not know at first glance where she's been.

Traveling with Mona would be easy to do; however, I would only carry her in my carry-on bag for fear that someone would steal her!

Like I said before, Mona has four-way north, south, east, west controls that are easy to use, but they can be unintentionally changed at inopportune moments. My husband and I wonder if it would have been better to place the buttons on the underside of the handle. For all the power and options Mona possesses, this is just a minor inconvenience to me. Don't let this be a reason to pass her up!

The options are endless with Mona. She has 8 speeds and 6 different stimulation modes. The lowest vibrations are barely there, and the highest setting is not overly intense. Sometimes I find myself pushing the + button hoping for more power, but sadly there is no more to give. However, like I said earlier, my body can be somewhat harder to stimulate than most.

Even when on the highest vibrational setting Mona is fairly quite. She is certainly my quietest purchase of the electric type. She can't be heard (even in the loudest mode) unless you are within 10-15 feet of her.

If I could change Mona in any way it would be to make her waterproof. Lelo's new Isla or Soraya from their Insignia line will be my next Lelo purchase because they are both completely waterproof and only have a 3 button control panel. I hope EF will be stocking these beauties VERY soon!

Mona is a silicone lady making for easy clean up with soap and water. She is not waterproof so cleaning the handle and buttons can be a bit tricky. I tend to use a hot, damp washcloth wrapped around a fingernail to clean between the silicone and plastic portion where lube tends to get stuck. Sometimes, lube will also sneak around the outsides of the buttons too, but the same cleaning tactic seems to work just fine. Just be very careful and make sure her controls stay dry, if she breaks due to water damage, her 10 year warranty will be invalid.

Lelo provides a beautiful black satin bag with a pull string top to store Mona safely away from dust and dirt. The recharging cord is small and discreet, looking much like a cell phone charger, allowing for storage within the same satin bag.

Since Mona is silicone, I would avoid using silicone based lubes inconjunction with her. While Lelo does not recommend silicone based lubes, they do suggest that if you decide to go ahead and use one, you should try a small test patch first to make sure there will not be a reaction with the silicone on your product.

Mona comes in a lovely package. The box is a sexy, sturdy, discreet, black box bearing only the Lelo name in small, black, embossed lettering on the lid. I suppose the box could be kept for storage or you could even use it as a gift box; however, I did not choose to keep the box for storage.

Included in the packaging, there is an instruction manual printed in a variety of languages, a warranty booklet and another small pamphlet showing other Lelo products. Inside the warranty booklet there are instructions on how to register your Lelo product on Lelo's website. I truly like this option; just one more perk when making this high quality purchase! When I registered my product, I received an email with a discount code for my next purchase made through their site. You can't beat that!

Vibrations: If you imagine a moth being caught in your hand and fluttering about, that would be the lowest setting on the Mona. Mona's mid-settings feel more like the vibrations you might experience while holding an electric hand mixer on the low setting. The high setting (if held for more than 5-10 mins) can make my hand feel tingly even after it is turned off.

The first time with played with Mona, my orgasms (all 3)were so intense! I normally find it difficult to have an amazing, entire-body-racking orgasm with most toys; although, Mona is a different breed of toy altogether! I was, needless to say, very pleased with her results and my husband enjoyed watching the way my body reacted to her.

We tried Mona inserted while having sex with mixed results. My husband noted that she is nice on the lower vibration settings, but due to her slightly girthy, curved shaft riding a bit too low on him(the insertable shaft is only about 4 inches or so), it was difficult for him to fully enjoy her on the higher settings.

Our favorite way to use Mona is during sex as a clit stimulator and I particularly like to suprise him with occasionally resting her on his shaft while he is thrusting. We are having fun with Mona and she is certainly was welcome friend in our bedroom.
