This was my first toy, and it was a great introduction to adult toys. My favorite way to use Ella is to rub the head against my G-spot. It's perfect to stimulate the G-spot and clitoris with its functional shape and velvety texture. Personally, I find that the long end is too tapered to use as a dildo.

It has a velvety texture which is easy to clean. It can attract lint if it isn't stored properly, and you can't easily remove the lint without using running water. Storing it in the bag Lelo provides helps to prevent lint from clinging to it, and the lint hasn't been a problem for me since figuring that out.

Ella has a great design, and it has a nice size that isn't too big or too small. If you find the shape interesting but are interested in deep insertion, I'd say go for the Sugar Drop. If you want something more precise for clitoral/g-spot stimulation, go for this little number. The Ella is very discreet, and you probably wouldn't have to worry if you accidentally left it out of its pouch or if you took it with you through an airport.

For me, the long end is too tapered to use as a dildo. If I'm not careful, it becomes uncomfortable because of how narrow the tip is. I'm not sure it would be a good toy for couples if your partner inserts that end of the toy. It's much more comfortable (and enjoyable) to use the wide end for stimulation.

The Ella is very easy to care for. Just rinse it off before use then wash with soap and water or a a toy cleanser afterward. I've used a water-based lubricant without any problems.

Ella comes in a nice box that looks like it's a gift to you. The pouch that comes with it is great for storing the toy in. Nothing about the packaging or the toy itself is cheap.
