Ella is a double-ended dildo manufactured by LELO. In typical LELO fashion, she (See? Every time I buy from them I end up referring to a piece of silicone as a person!) came all beautifully packaged. One other thing I like about LELO is that you get a satin drawstring bag with each toy to keep it in. So adorable!

She came packaged in a beautiful black box. I opened it up, and there she was! Included was also an instruction booklet (maybe in case you were planning on using it as a q-tip??). Of course, for g-spot exploration, you want to insert the side with the pronounced head. You'll have no doubt in your mind when you come across that sweet spot she's intended for! For newbies, it should also be mentioned that in some women, g-spot stimulation will cause a female to ejaculate - squirt, gush, etc. Not all women are physically capable of doing this, but it does have potential to happen. This would also probably be a good product for women to "practice" learning how to do so.

This product is quite sturdy but has some give. The silicone gives it a nice smooth, almost velvety touch, but be careful because it’s also very effective as a lint collector. Keep it in the satin drawstring bag provided by LELO to keep it safe. Ella is also free of any odor and taste. Also, since Ella is made of silicone, it is important to remember to only use water-based lubricants if need be. A silicone-based lube will royally screw up your toy, and you definitely do not want that!

The added bonus with this toy is that it can be used on either end - the more phallic shaped end for the feel of a “traditional” dildo, or the side with the flat head that is used for g-spot stimulation.

This is actually my first dildo (aka non-vibrating toy) that isn't glass. I can see why this was voted one of EdenFantasys’ Best Sex Toys of 2011. I was afraid I would be underwhelmed by this toy since it doesn't vibrate, but boy was I wrong. OMG! It sure did feel great. I now have no doubt where my g-spot is! The only gripe I have with this product (which isn't even a valid gripe) is that the pronounced head made insertion and removal a bit awkward. Not painful or uncomfortable, just weird. But then again, this is the first toy I've purchased that has such a defined curve. I made sure I took my time and it was much easier to insert and remove.

I would definitely recommend Ella to anyone who is looking to do some more self-exploration. Given the two different ends, there’s plenty of room to switch things up. Use it with a clitoral vibrator and I give it minutes til she sends you over the edge! Enjoy.

I still love Ella, though I don't use her as much as I used to. I've found that I quite like toys that are more filling, so Ella is sitting in the back of the toy box for now - unless I want to get down to business and get some pinpoint G-spot stimulation, then she comes out to play. Definitely still a G-spot go-to.
