You always remember your first. And I’m proud to say that Ella is mine — the first toy to give me a G-spot orgasm.
Now, I have long since gotten over the fact that sex toys are, inherently, foreign objects I’m introducing to the most sensitive parts of my body. And yet, when I slid the larger end of the Ella inside of me, I felt, for the first time in my sex toy testing life, like a toy actually belonged inside of me. It fit perfectly. It glided in and out of my pussy smoothly, yet still locked in place if I wanted it to. It was thick where it needed to be, and thin where it needed to be. It was soft and slightly flexible, and completely body-safe due to its 100% silicone material (par for the course with LELO). The thicker end of the Ella was flawless, and I wanted nothing more.
But there was so much more to come. By the time I convinced myself to retire the thick end, I was very, very turned on, which lead me to almost immediately thrust hard with the G-spot end. The flat and wide tip went straight to my G-spot, quickly stirring in me the now-familiar sensation of needing to pee, yet wanting to fuck myself even faster. I sped up. I gripped the thick end, dropped my head back, and fucked myself with the Ella as fast as I could.
I think I could feel it coming, because ejaculation seemed more within reach than usual. My jumbled thoughts drifted to what would happen if I did squirt. It occurred to me that, as I’ve seen in porn, I could potentially squirt quite far in practically any direction, but I could not be bothered with finding a large protective covering for the bed. I was too far gone in the throes of pleasure. The towel under me would have to do.
And right about then, as I was dismissing all thoughts from my mind, a warm sensation washed over my pussy… and I knew. I was about to come. Really come. And I’m not usually loud when I come by myself, but yells of pleasure involuntarily spilled from my lips. I lost all control, and I released. I came, hard and warm, lost in the moment. And best of all, for once, my clit was of no consequence. None. All the orgasmic feelings were concentrated deep in my pussy. I was in awe.
When I regained some semblance of sanity, I looked down and saw only a splattering of come on the inside of my thigh. That’s it? I thought. But then I got up and glanced back at the towel from whence I came, and there it was — a wet spot about nine inches in diameter. And under the towel, a corresponding wet spot on the comforter. And under the comforter, dampness on the sheets.
Being the huge dork that I am, I actually said out loud to myself, “no way.” I picked up the towel; I felt it, I smelled it. I was almost crazy with disbelief and euphoria. I promptly rushed to Twitter and updated in all caps. When my boyfriend came home, I clobbered him with details about the experience. And here I am now, gushing about it again (pun intended!).
I know the story of my first ejaculation is a heart-warming tale, but the point is, the LELO Ella is an incredible dildo. There is nothing I would change about it, and I can’t say that about many toys. It is gorgeous, perfectly shaped, completely sterilizable, and comes with a sexy black box and satin pouch. It practically oozes luxury, as do all LELO toys, and it truly works in harmony with my body in a way that no other toy ever has.

Welcome my dear. Things will never be the same.

I AM GETTING THIS.
Awesome review, awesome toy.
December 11th, 2008 at 6:40 pm
Awesome review! I remember clearly what my first time was like (being fairly recently, that’s not so hard) and I am uber excited for you!
I already wanted this dildo, now I MUST HAVE IT!
December 11th, 2008 at 7:05 pm
That is awesome. Congratulations! I just bought the Ella, but have yet to really put it to the test. I’m sooo excited for it now!

Holy Moly Batgrrl! Kapow! What an excellent review. Make sure to pimp this one out for sure. I’m so thrilled for you. And, your writing was so articulate I felt live I was reliving my first time all over again. The wondering and then the sudden explosion! Fantastic

I love the Ella. Thanks for describing it in such glorious detail.

Your experience with Ella sounds so much like mine. I wonder who Lelo uses to test their prototypes when they’re designing a new product? Man, I would love to be one of their testers.

I want to be a woman… no fair!

=O_O=
Now you have me wanting one…
Congrats, Epiphora!

I got this one last week and i wished i had your same expierence but i didn’t… i don’t know what i’m doing wrong but i just don’t seem to get myself to orgasm. what should i do?? i’m sad
March 12th, 2009 at 5:49 pm
@lady shi: That sucks! The two main things that help me achieve G-spot orgasms are 1. thrust really, really fast, as fast as I possibly can. 2. let go. If you get the wanting to pee sensation, you’re getting close. If you’re not getting it, you’re not hitting your G-spot.

Thank you so much for this review. You swayed me from purchasing Gigi to going for this simple yet beautiful dildo. I am so happy that you converted me. I would’ve paid a hundred-some dollars for Gigi (money that doesn’t come often since I’m in College)…so thank you!
If it weren’t for you, I probably would have never bought Ella.
And as you’ve continued to say, she is amazing!
October 27th, 2009 at 1:59 pm
I did actually by the Ella because of this review, heh. Still not squirting yet, but I’m workin’ on it!
February 25th, 2010 at 7:32 pm
I have heard so many great things about Ella. I really should try it. And congrats on the first!
June 10th, 2010 at 1:24 pm
Oh man, I so want one of these now.
October 4th, 2010 at 12:26 am
I’ve been contemplating dildos for a bit because I want to know if I, too, can squirt someday. And I’m dying for a Lelo toy. The only thing that’s rough is that I’m a virgin and nothing FITS, ugh. Still, thinking I might spring for one for Christmas, unless I get lucky…
October 4th, 2010 at 3:03 am
@Liz: I think the straight side of Ella might be great for you, then, but not so sure about the G-spot end — it’s pretty intense!
October 4th, 2010 at 4:56 pm
Ya know, I *still* haven’t been able to squirt! I hate that needing-to-pee sensation and always want to stop. What I really need to do is invest in a Liberator Throe so I don’t worry about whether or not I *do* pee — and just keep going. God knows I have enough tools that should do the job if I could just really let go . . . *Sigh.*

Ella has been on my wishlist FOREVER. I just need to get it and get on with the g-spot joy!
October 5th, 2010 at 9:23 pm
The white color of the Ella is by far the best.
October 10th, 2010 at 11:21 am
What do you think of this versus the Pure Wand for me? (I know you love ‘em both.) I love G-spot play but haven’t squirted yet. I’m still a virgin, but am in that spot where I’ve been using 1 1/4-inch diameter silicone dildos for a while and sometimes think I could handle something bigger when I’m aroused enough. I like softer materials internally right now, but the rounded dimensions of the Pure Wand sound like they might be more forgiving than the flat end of the Ella (since, above all, I hate a poking sensation against my G). Hmmm.
October 11th, 2010 at 3:09 am
@Trix: I have a solution for you: the Ophoria Beyond 3! It is shaped like the Pure Wand, but made of silicone and therefore more flexible. You may have to work up to the size of the bulb on it, though.
October 14th, 2010 at 3:07 pm
This toy is so sexy and alluring.
October 14th, 2010 at 7:29 pm
@Epiphora:
Thanks for the idea–hadn’t thought of it! The Beyond 3 shape looks great, and I’m drawn to the little filigree-type things on it. Got startled at the idea of 9 inches, but I guess it’s not all insertable.
October 15th, 2010 at 5:28 pm
This is what I love about sex toys the ability to discovery new things. I’m always kind of fascinated with stories of women learning to ejaculate with sex toys because my experience is the opposite as I’m a guy that learned to have non-ejaculate orgasms aka refractory period free orgasms thanks to sex toys.
October 15th, 2010 at 11:18 pm
I love how something so simple in appearance can become the beloved of dildos. And it’s not too expensive either! I’m definitely putting this on my to-get list.
Thank you for sharing your experience!
April 25th, 2011 at 3:38 pm
I’m considering getting this for several reasons.
1. I want to figure out my G-spot and learn how to squirt
2. I want to try a dildo instead of a vibe (hated the Ina a lot btw…grr)
3. I want something waterproof
My only concern is the lack of success with the Ina, it makes me worried about spending money. Should I do it?
April 27th, 2011 at 1:58 pm
@Katie: I was not a fan of the Ina either. It’s extremely intense. Some people love it, but that amount of pressure on my clit is just not cool. So I’m with you there! Don’t let it deter you from sex toys altogether — there are tons of great toys out there, and I’m sure you can find one that you love.
Have you heard of the Beyond 3? As long as you can handle the size of the bulb, the Beyond 3 is freakin’ amazing… and I recommend it over the Ella because it is easier to use and not as oddly-shaped. Ella is great, don’t get me wrong, but the shape is very weird and takes some getting used to. Ella is also pretty short, so not as easy to thrust with as the Beyond 3.
May 14th, 2011 at 10:33 pm
Thanks to your amazing review, i now have to have this dildo! darn you! I just hope i have such good results as when i get that peeing sensation, i run to the bathroom and actually pee–for like 5 minutes. we’ll see.
October 20th, 2011 at 11:45 am
i know this is an old post, but i’m shopping for ellas and would like to know how the color on your white one held up? White looks beautiful but I’d be sad if it got dirty quickly…
October 20th, 2011 at 4:38 pm
@lyly: Ella is made of 100% silicone, which is completely non-porous and should not absorb any colors from anything. It does attract lint like most silicone toys do, but I think the white is absolutely stunning.
Also, I’ve used Ella (and many other silicone toys) while on my period and have never experienced staining of any sort.
December 14th, 2011 at 7:17 pm
*smiling*
the very first time i squirted, was with my Master and he accused me of pissing on him!! Then smelled it and realized what it was.
I’ve done it a few times on my own, and *every* time, i too stare at the bed in amazement. Wow… my very own pussy did that!
woot!
here’s to the powah of the pussy!
GREAT review.
