Review: Ella

Ella is a two-ended dildo made by the luxury pleasure object company, Lelo. Lelo, a European company whose motto is "Lelo: lust objectified," manufactures high-end, luxury sex toys known for their superb quality and name brand. Since Lelo offers high-quality products ranging from $50 to $1,600, I was understandably thrilled when I discovered I would get the opportunity to review a much-coveted Lelo product!

Ella is Lelo's only dildo, and I had heard great reviews on other sex educators' websites. Frankly, I couldn't wait to try it!

I have loved working with Lelo for reviewing Ella. The customer service representative always answered my emails within a few days and was super friendly and polite. They were as thrilled to have my business as I was to try their product!

From the moment you enter the Lelo site, you can tell this company is a far cry from the seedy, pornography-inspired sex sites you often find on the internet. Rather than selling a huge number of sleazy, low-cost items seen in porn and many sex shops, Lelo offers a small array of high-end, class sexual toys, each one of highest quality and with a one-year guarantee. Some of their pleasure objects even come in steel or gold plating! This is luxury objectified. The website is classy, elegant, and refined; it is available in multiple languages and simple to navigate. Prices are given in euros, but a quick "euro to [dollar]" search on Google gives the amount in other currencies with the single click of a button.

Needless to say, I was beyond excited when I found out I was getting a Lelo product of my very own. Thanks to UPS's wonderful package tracking service online, I eagerly followed my package's progress from China, through Korea, through Poland and Germany, and eventually, to my residence in France.

Opening the package, I was not disappointed. Ella came in a classy box that far surpassed the plastic wrapping of other sites. She came with her own instruction manual (in multiple languages) and a chic satin pouch for travel. With the dildo itself I was not disappointed. Ella was small, thin, and sleek. While she comes in black, white, and deep rose, mine was deep black. Her exterior felt smooth and soft to my hand, and was obviously made from high-quality materials.

So would I recommend Ella? Absolutely. I am not as big a fan of dildos as I am of vibrators, but Ella is a fantastic dildo. First and foremost, she is double-ended, meaning you are really receiving two dildos for the price of one. One end is tapered almost to a rounded point, useful for tradition penetration, and the other is curved to perfectly stimulate the G-spot, which it absolutely does.

For all practical purposes, I found Ella easy to use. Both ends were easy to grip, providing a slip-free surface as I enjoyed two different sensations, one after the other. Ella fit inside comfortably, and the G-spot stimulation was direct and intense. I could even use her without lubricant, although after a while the hard in-and-out motions made me sore and I needed lube. The only minor problem I had with Ella was, during traditional penetration, the tapered end comes almost to a rounded point, which was painful when pushed all the way in and out, hitting my cervix. I wouldn't recommend trying to reach record depths with a dildo that has a point--even a rounded one.

While Ella is a great addition to anyone's collection, I would especially recommend her for beginners, as her sleek size and thin shape are ideal for those beginning the wonderful world of dildos. For men wanting to treat your special lady to a luxurious treat, this is the toy for you! Best of all, Ella comes at a fantastic price: 34 euros (about 46 US dollars), which is a great bargain and well worth it to become the proud owner of a fashionable Lelo product!

For more information on Ella and other fantastic Lelo products for both men and women, please visit the Lelo website. I assure you this company's products will be worth the cost. In fact, Lelo is even offering free shipping on all products until January 7, 2009. Enjoy, and go pamper yourself!
