Elise 2 by Lelo

Yes, it is stronger and nicer than the original. It is fully encased in silicone, the metal band is still there. The control panel is larger and they say that it is totally waterproof. There are dual motors that have a total of 10 settings. The control panel is larger on the 2 and it’s light is under the silicone and not a separate ring. The vibrations are at least 75% stronger and they do rumble.



The Elise 2 is a longer curved internal vibe that can be used for external stimulation also and it does work on your partners back when you are asking which one is stronger. The curve does lend to some g-spot stimulation depending on your anatomy. This one does work for me.

Material/Textures

The Elise 2 doesn’t have any textures. Completely smooth, soft and velvety the silicone is nicer on the 2 than the original. There is barely any drag to it and glides across your skin. I know I said the original glides but this one glides even better. The entire toy is encased in the silicone except for the metal band which somewhat signifies the end of the insertable area but we know that the metal band may end up inserted also. The silicone ha a high safety rating, it is non porous, hypoallergenic, latex and phthalates free. There is no tastes or smells to this one. It comes in plum, black and pink.



Size/Shape/Design

The Elise 2 is almost a crescent shaped vibe, it has a total length of 8 ½ inches and of that 5 inches are insertable. At it’s largest the diameter is 1 ½ inches and at it’s smallest the diameter is. 1 ¼ inches. The control panel starts at 1 inches up from the end. There is the metal band which is located at 3 inches from the end. The shape makes for ease of use and it is easy to hold on to and to use the controls.



Functions

The Elise has 2 motors. One at the tip area and one located near the metal band. Some of the settings alternate between the two motors and some settings the motors are independent. The Elise2 is completely rechargeable. It takes approximately 2 hours to charge it and it will last for 4 hours. It ha a stand by time of 9 days.

Elise 2 is controlled with one touch pad that is located near the end once inch up. The control pad is 1 ¼ inches across. There are a + and - button as well as an up arrow and down arrow. The Elise 2 has a locking function to unlock or lock you simply push and hold both the plus and minus buttons together. To turn the Elise 2 on you push the up button. It is hard to held how many levels of vibrations there are because you can just ramp up by holding the plus button down. To get into the patterns you push the up arrow button. To go back on a pattern you push the down arrow. To turn it off you push and hold the minus button. I do have some issues with hitting the control panel when I use the toy.



Elise 2 has a low medium and high vibration setting. Then you move into the patterns, first you have a constant vibration that seems stronger in the shaft, then you have a constant vibration that is stronger in the tip. You move on to a constant vibration that has alternating slow pulsations, then you have alternating fast pulsations with the constant vibrations. Then you have a low to high escalation and a high to low escalation. The final pattern is a chaotic mix of pulsations and vibrations. These are totally different than the original Elise. Sitting here comparing the two there is no comparison on patterns because they really are not alike.

Care/Maintenance

The Elise 2 cleans up easily with antibacterial soaps and water, toy sprays or wipes. You can wipe it down with a 10% bleach solution also. You cannot boil or place in the dishwasher due to the motors. Use only water based lubricants so the finish doesn’t get ruined and store away form other toys so they don’t meld. I store my Elise 2 in the pouch that comes with her from Lelo. You have to pay special attention to the metal band because it can collect secretions and lube.

Packaging

Lelo has great packaging. There is an outer sleeve that tells of the product with a picture and a black lift off top style box that contains the Elise 2, a product warranty card, a product booklet, charging cord and a sample of the lubricant. The Elise 2 was nestled into her own foam cut out.


Experience



The Elise 2 is very much stronger than the original. I could even say up to 75% more. I used both of them on my husband’s back and switched them up and he still always said that the 2 was stronger. Now interesting enough is that the Elise 2 seems to be slightly louder than the original on it’s highest setting. I still don’t think that it could be heard over the covers and definitely not through doors. The patterns have more of a delineation as compared to the mutt led type of changes with the original. The charging port on the 2 doesn’t have a cap over it and that is great because I was always knocking it out of place when using the original. The metal band is still present that you have to pay special attention to when you are cleaning the toy.





Over all you get much more bang for your buck by going with the Elise 2 and skipping the original. I would suggest it for beginners to experienced toy users and I don’t think that anyone will be disappointed. It is not my favorite toy but it does deliver g-spot orgasms and it has some great vibrations.



Read the review on the Original also. [link|https://www.edenfantasys.com/sex-toy-reviews/vibrators/the-original-is-good-but]

This one is better than the original but honestly it isn't one of my favorite vibes. The Ina and Mona are so much better, The dual motors work but just not the best for me.
