With my boyfriend out of town for work I finally decided to a upgrade in the toy department, and after some comparison I settled on the Alia. I'm very attracted to Lelo products and the simple, pretty design along with all the other great features (rechargeable, waterproof, settings, lockable, body-safe, I could go on and on) had me sold on the Insignia line. I also like the Alia because it is very couple friendly, although I have so far only used it solo. My boyfriend can't wait to try it with me! This is a very nice toy for anyone who is easily intimidated, no guy will be against taking this to bed. I also ordered the Lelo water-based "personal moisturizer" to use with it and have found they play very nicely together!

The strength of the vibrations is great for me, and the different settings are fun to experiment with. There are stronger vibrators out there, but I find them numbing and much prefer a deep vibration on a lower setting. The controls on the Alia are simple and intuitive with one button for vibration style and a plus and minus for speed. The silicone used is nice and silky with just the slightest amount of drag and feels great!

The Insignia line is waterproof with a silicone membrane covering the charging port. I was a little worried when I received mine because the membrane had a small puncture, the users manual said that even with a tear the port remains waterproof (I have no idea how), but I tested it out and it works just fine. Because it's waterproof it's very easy to clean, just a little antibacterial soap and hot water.

The Alia is a gorgeous toy and comes very nicely and discreetly packaged. It would make a great gift for anyone, but I especially recommend it for beginners (paired with the Lelo lube) because of it's range of vibration and discreet look. It also comes with Lelo's fantastic warranty so you can't really go wrong.

And finally, as we all know pretty isn't everything, so YES it gets the job done! ;)
