Elise is part of the family of Lelo Pleasure Objects. It is an insertable, multi-speed, rechargeable vibrator. The size and curve is meant to stimulate the vaginal walls, but it can also be used for clitoral stimulation. Because the Elise does not have a flared base, it is not suitable for anal insertion. This toy has moderate girth and is appropriate for someone that is aiming for a toy to provide solid, internal stimulation. The Elise is suitable for both solo and partner use.

The Elise is made out of medical grade silicone (probably the safest and most reliable sex toy material on the market) as well as hard plastic. The hard plastic is used for the controls and the silver band that separates the handle from the shaft. The rest of the toy is covered in velvety silicone. While the texture is not perfectly smooth to the finger tip, when used with lube it is unlikely to add additional stimulation over a truly smooth toy. This vibrator has a rigid shaft because the silicone is just a covering over a hard, plastic material. You get the cleanliness benefits of a silicone toy while not having the flexibility that 100 percent silicone toys provide.

Like all Lelo toys, the Elise is beautiful. It is a lovely color, has sexy curves, and has good fit and finish on the buttons and charger. The size of the toy is on the large size, but is unlikely to be overwhelming to most people. I'd say that it might not make a good *first* insertable toy but otherwise is generally accessible. The toy may look like another object to the casual observer and could probably pass for a peculiar iPod accessory. It is, therefore, suitable for travel.

The vibrations on the Elise are located throughout the shaft. For me, Lelo toys have a very diffused vibration that you tend to feel across the entire item. The Elise is similar in this sense. The controls are intuitive with a beautiful light-up display. The controls allow you to vary the speed/intensity of the vibrations as well as adjust the vibration patterns.

The vibration patterns are as follows:
Steady low vibrations
Steady medium vibrations
short pulses
longer pulses
Steady high vibrations

The Elise is not waterproof but it can stand up to splashes. The port for charging it has a silicone cap to protect the inside of the toy. Be sure that the cap is in place and covering this opening before you start rinsing and cleaning it.

The Elise has a silicone cover and can be cleaned with a surface disinfectant. It cannot be submerged due to the electronic parts, though. I do find that this toy seems to pick up dust easily so it is best stored in a lint-free pouch or clean plastic bag. Like all silicone toys, it is not compatible with silicone lubes.

All Lelo toys have beautiful packaging that serve as foreplay between you and your pleasure object. The Elise is no different. The package has an outside, glossy printed cardboard box that houses the storage box. The storage box is black with the Lelo brand name embossed on the top. Opening the box, you find the toy nestled in a molded plastic display. Under this display, you will find a satin carrying case, the charger, and a helpful instruction booklet. The classy packaging is part of the appeal of Lelo toys and makes them very giftable.
