When the Ella first arrived at my doorstep I ripped the package open to find the nicest packaged sex toy I had ever come across. LELO is luxury in every way, from the packaging to the warranty, all is wonderfully thought out. I took Ella out of her beautiful packaging and held her in my hand. The dildo is surprisingly lightweight and made me think that maybe I would be disappointed because I usually like that "full" feeling. I was proved wrong on this front.

There are two ends to the Ella and my favorite part is by far the traditionally shaped end, which I'm sure makes me a minority. It is wide in all the right places and tapers off to nothing in the right places as well. Because of this flowing shape, when thrusting it feels as delicious as first insertion every single time. The g-spot end it tapered and angled as to hit the g-spot upon insertion. I will say it works, but it has some drawbacks; when thrusting hard with the g-spot end the dildo can get hung up on your pubic bone, which is very uncomfortable and can even be classified as painful. Therefore, the g-spot end is made for only very, very shallow thrusts or you will be in a world of pain instead of earth-shattering pleasure.

Ella is a well-made silicone dildo from LELO. First of all, she is made from 100% silicone, which automatically makes her superior as she is body safe and can be sterilized by boiling or wiping down with a 10% bleach solution. If you're not planning to share her you can just wash her off with some mild soap and water. I found that I like to wash her before and after each use as she's a major lint collector, but less so when kept in her storage box. Another great thing about silicone is she doesn't have that nasty chemical smell some cheaper toys have, so you won't be distracted by an awful smell while trying to get off with your new toy. Also, because she's so awesome and silicone, make sure to only use water-based lube with her!

Even though Ella is a body safe material, you should not use her anally as she has no flared base and using her may result in an embarrassing ER trip! That's definitely not what you want when having fun with your new toy.

From my experience I would suggest using Ella by herself the first time, before adding clitoral stimulation. While she was not able to make me orgasm alone, it was a great feeling and maybe with a little more practice I can get there.

I was on the edge the entire time and had to add in my LAYAspot, to get there in the end. However, orgasming around the Ella feels so great, that I don't regret the purchase at all. She's going to be in my collection for years to come with good care.

I have begun to love Ella much more than I initially did. I found a good angle so that she no longer catches uncomfortably on my pubic bone, which was my mine complaint about her. While she's not my favorite dildo, she's a good addition to anyone's collection.
