I bought Ella as a birthday present for myself a few months ago. I was looking for a G-spot toy of higher quality than my plastic G-spot vibe I already owned. I had seen LELO toys at a sex shop in Germany and they looked nice, but I didn't buy any (silly exchange rate). After reading nice reviews for Ella online and noting her affordable price tag, I was sold. FYI, it seems like most Lelo toys are $60 or more, Ella was $36.99

Ella arrived in a narrow black box nearly twice as long as herself. I further figured she was a bit higher-end because rather than coming in clear plastic packaging with pictures of porn stars, she was packed nicely inside what looks like a much larger version of a jewelry gift box. She also came with her own drawstring pouch. She is made of silicone and collects dust/impurities easily, so she needs to be stored in said pouch separately from other toys.

She is a nice size, admittedly I have no sense of length or distance but I would say about 5-7 inches, and curved nicely on either end. One end is shorter and flatter to target the G-spot, the little information book describes it as a "G-spot kink." The other end is more like a normal dildo, nicely curved with a slightly upward "pleasure point," that is also capable of finding the G-spot. Both ends provide great fun for me, I had a jolly good time with it this afternoon actually.

Ella comes with a small, multilingual information booklet that mentions all this, buuutt-
Ella is made of silicone and works best with water-based lubes. Silicone-based lubes could make her permanently sticky and tacky. The manual suggests that if the owner only has silicone lubes, do a "patch test" first, as you would with some kind of skin bleach to see how she reacts to it. It also notes to *never* use massage oil or hand cream as a lubricant with the Ella toy.

For cleaning, the booklet suggests "Always clean before and after each use. Wash with warm water and antibacterial soap, rinse with clean hot water and pat dry with a lint-free cloth or towel. Never use cleansers containing alcohol, petrol or acetone."

The aforementioned manual suggests using Ella with Lelo's Lily/Ney/Yva toy for clitoral stimulation at the same time. I do not have said toy, but my bullet vibe has worked just fine when I want to play with my clit and Ella at the same time.

I have to say that I quite fancy Ella. She's a classy one, great fun, easy to care for and at a great price. Five stars indeed.
