This was my first high-end toy. I bought it after reading a lot of reviews about it, and I have never regretted it!

I have read that some women have trouble using it because of the hooked end; some say that it gets caught on their pubic bone or doesn't seem to fit right.

This definitely happened to me at first, but with practice it has become an invaluable toy. It is the main toy I use. You just have to understand that you need be patient with it and use it with a rocking motion (I usually hold the end and rock it or my body side to side) rather than a thrusting motion. It hits my g-spot with a pleasant amount of pressure and it is small enough to allow for easy movement.

I will say that it is advertised as both ends being insertable, but I'm not sure why. The bottom is hand and pointy, so only the hooked end is really insertable.

Because of the unique shape, I have never worried about traveling with it, which is a plus.

It is very good quality and mine is still in mint condition after two years of using it most nights. The silicone is wonderful (unlike a cheap silicone toy I have that is melted in some places), and it is a bit rigid but flexible enough for comfortable use if there is enough lubrication. The texture is very nice. It doesn't collect lint and cleaning it with soap and water is a snap. Sometimes the "LELO" letters on the side have to be cleaned out but I don't see this as a big deal. It takes two seconds.

My only suggestion with cleaning is to let it air-dry. I live alone so I just leave it on the bathroom counter to dry and put it away the next day. It will collect lint if you use a towel to dry it.

I bought my Ella three years ago. It is in perfect condition and I am still in love with it. The smooth texture makes it great for solo play. However, the fact that it is more of a rocking toy than a thrusting toy has kept me from bringing it into partner play.

It is a great toy, but I don't use it much now that I've started using glass toys. The silicone has a great texture, but the body is so rigid and I'm very tight from doing kegels so it is hard to put in and take out. Glass toys (with no drag) are really much easier to use. But for the type of dildo that this is, I think it's great. And I will always be grateful to my Ella for helping me find my g-spot.
