Lelo's Ella is a great little dildo. It has a wonderful sleek and modern design that just screams "luxury." In your hands it doesn't even remotely scream "sex object"; it's more like a piece of art. With that in mind, Ella is a somewhat discreet silicone toy with a soft velvety texture. Being that it is a silicone-based toy, I would recommend that you do not use any silicone-based lube. Use water-based lube only. To clean it you can use regular soap and water and, although I have not tested this myself, I wouldn't expect any problems if you boiled it.

A double-headed dildo it may be, but a dildo to use for two persons it is not. This dildo works best as a solo toy but it should be used for vaginal penetration only. The little handle may provide something of a stopper to keep the toy from slipping inside and getting lost, but as this is a G-spot toy I wouldn't risk it.

It comes in a very classy package with a care booklet and a silk bag to put it in. It has little to no plastic smell once it's out of the package, and once I washed it I didn't smell anything at all.

As always, Lelo really makes you feel like you own a luxury piece of art rather than a sex toy. In fact, the design of Ella is so sleek and modern I have left it out by accident several times, and no one has ever guessed what it was. Most thought it was some kind of sculpture, and my boyfriend thought it looked like a small exercise weight. It doesn't immediately scream "sex toy" and I love that about Lelo products.

If you're looking for a dildo that doesn't immediately scream "phallic object," this is definitely it!

Now on to the good stuff!

I love this little toy, and I'm not a dildo person or a G-spot girl at all. For awhile I experimented but couldn't find the right toy or position for me to really get any pleasure from my G-spot, so I've always relied on clitoral stimulation. In fact, I bought this toy thinking that it was a vibrator and was somewhat disappointed when I opened the package and found that there was no place to put any batteries. I almost sent it right back but something about it convinced me to keep it. So I did, and it sat in a corner for awhile until I was ready for it.

I was surprised immediately by how quickly the curved end found my G-spot, and I was enjoying it immensely. I didn't have to really rearrange it or anything; it aligned with my anatomy perfectly (and I wasn't expecting that after so many failed tries). I'm not a girl who can take too big a toy so I really liked its small size on that end to get me warmed up, and it got me warmed up pretty quickly. I even like just taking the flat surface of the hooked end and rubbing it in circles around my clit. It's awesome to grind against, so give that a try too!

Once I was finished with that side I tried the other more bulbous end. It's a perfect finisher. It has a slight ridge on the top of it that applies gentle sliding pressure as it slides in and out. I didn't have any issues with the pointed end hitting my cervix or making things uncomfortable. I could definitely feel the pressure of it hitting my cervix, so be wary of that, but it wasn't enough to make me want to stop. With the hooked end on the outside it's like a handle you can grip to thrust it as slow or as fast as you want!

I love that about this toy - both ends have functions other than just penetration. Great design.
