Ella: The Dildo For The Discerning Self Love Enthusiast

LELO products have always earned high praise from my parts—but it's mostly been due to their well-designed controls (and, ok, the awesome orgasms they've inspired). But is the LELO ingenuity limited to their electronic toys? Or does the genius extend to their motorless creations as well? When the lovely LELO dildo, Ella, fell into my lap (so it speak) it was the perfect opportunity to find out.

The Ella bears a strong resemblance to one of my favorite vibrators ever, LELO's Gigi. In fact, if you dipped the handle of the Gigi in silicone, you'd pretty much have the Ella—but that resemblance alone was not enough to convince me of the Ella's worth.

Using the Ella, on the other hand, was. With its deliciously curved head, it's perfectly poised to stimulate the gspot—which, as luck would have it, just so happens to be one of my favorite types of stimulation! Ladies in search of a thicker sensation would do well to flip Ella around and use her handle as her head. Or hey, you can even switch it up midsession and use both ends in one sitting (though please be warned that this can make quite a mess).

Those with more expensive tastes (or thicker billfolds) than my own might also appreciate Ella's cousin, Olga, from the LELO Luxe line. Similar in shape to Ella, Olga is manufactured out of either stainless steel or gold plate. Sadly, she's far more expensive than Ella (by a factor of 9!), but sometimes that splurge is just worth it.
