I was a little surprised the first time I saw the Ella, a relatively new product from luxury company Lelo. Every toy I have by them is a super high-end vibe and this little double ended dildo didn’t seem to quite fit in. I mean, don’t get me wrong, this is an amazing toy of the highest quality, but they seemed to be pretty focused on vibrators.
Fortunately for the masses, they have branched out a bit because this pleasure object is really great. It’s made out of super sweet silicone and Lelo definitely had a woman’s body in mind when the designed it’s perfect g-spot curve. For those of you who are interested, the other end is more of a standard straight dildo that feels really great also and is really nice for teasing or thrusting!
Like all of my other Lelo toys, the Ella comes in a really nice black box that is perfect for storage. If you’re running out of storage space like me, they’ve also provided a white satin bag as an alternative. Also included are information on the one-year warranty (!) and an instruction manual that warns against silicone lube and offers maintenance information.
The brilliant minds at Lelo suggest you use this dildo with a vibe, and while I would have thought of it eventually, I made sure I had one of my favorite vibes right next to me when I took this one for a test ride. Let me tell you, this baby finds it’s way right to your g-spot without any effort and the silicone transfers vibration really well. After a couple of test runs – solo and with the girl – I am really digging this toy.
However, for the record, this toy is not your traditional double-ended dong. When I read that, I assumed it would be enough for two people to use at the same time. It’s not. In fact, at just seven inches long with a 1 ¼ inch diameter, it’s pretty small.
Knowing that, if you are a fan of toys that have a little more girth, this is probably not the toy for you. I personally think it’s so well designed that size doesn’t matter much, but it’s something you should definitely be aware of. One nice thing for me about the shape and size is that the g-spot end makes for a nice handle and it’s a nice toy for anal play. Just be wary of your grip so it doesn’t get lost and you don’t end up spending a night in the ER! You should also make sure you sterilize it using the usual methods before using it vaginally again!
Overall, I’m really impressed with the Lelo Ella and will admit that it’s right at the top of my toy list with the Pure Wand. It doesn’t have the heft of my steel bff, but it is pretty amazing for g-spot stim.

I’m not going to start lying to you today. When I got this toy in the mail, I was a little less than excited. I’m a little spoiled when it comes to sex toys and Nectar Product’s Crystal Wand didn’t look very impressive to me. While the S shape was intriguing, it’s made from Lucite which doesn’t look nearly as cool as glass or steel. Thankfully, I gave this one a shot because its design is actually pretty damn great.
Cynthia Taylor Lamborne, the designer of the crystal wand, apparently is on a mission to help women enjoy the pleasures of g-spot stimulation. It even comes with a handy little guide book that explains how to care for your wand and how to put it to use.
Let’s start off by talking about caring for this toy. This is my first Lucite wand and I really don’t know anything about the material other than it’s the impact resistant material used around hockey rinks. Nectar Product suggests soap and water, which is pretty standard, but also suggests an interesting alternative. Apparently, you can create a 100% natural antibacterial cleansing solution by adding 10 drops of grapefruit seed extract to one cup of water. Good to know! They also warn us against using alcohol based products on Lucite.
This is a great toy and perfect for anyone who’s new to g-spot stimulation. The s-shaped design of this 10 inch toy makes locating your g-spot simple and is also good for p-spot stim according to the guide. Not having a prostate, I can’t speak to that myself! Lucite is hard, like glass or steel, but much lighter, which I thought allowed me to have complete control over it. I did find that a little lube goes a long way and will definitely enhance your play. The best part is that you can use silicone or water-based lube – I’m a big fan of options!
I’ve used a lot of toys that claim to stimulate the g-spot over the years and have a few I think are absolutely amazing. Any woman who owns the Pure Wand will rave about it, but it’s hefty price tag is a bit of a deterrent, especially in today’s economy. That’s where I see the Crystal Wand fitting in. At only $55 (half of what you’ll pay for the Pure Wand) it’s a bargain and since Lucite will stop a hockey puck, I’m guessing this is a toy you can plan on having a very long time.
If you’re interested in exploring g-spot stimulation, this is a quality toy that will help you find your way. It’s great for first timers and, when combined with a clit vibe, great for one hell of a ride!
Add this wonderful wand to your toy box!

Tristan Taormino may be known for her expert knowledge in anal sex, but this rad lady’s sexpertise goes above and beyond the bottom. Focusing in on the great mystery that is the G-Spot, Taormino really gets into the nitty gritty about how this fabulous urethral sponge functions and exactly how to take advantage of the amazing pleasure that the G-spot possesses when stimulated just right.
As in all “Tristan Taormino’s Expert Guide To” movies, this movie begins with an introduction and a quick anatomy lesson. This may be boring in other instructional flicks, but Taormino always keeps it fun and engaging as she makes sure you know the basics before moving on to the techniques and more advanced skills. While I enjoy learning all the intro stuff, it’s the demonstrations that really do it for me. I’m a visual person when it comes to understanding information, and having someone explain a position while someone else is actually doing it on the screen definitely helps me figure out exactly what I need to know. Plus the demos are always super hot. And this video does not disappoint.
My favorite demo was scene four’s female ejaculation with Kylie and Derrick. I love that Taormino dedicated an entire section to focusing on female ejaculation, which is definitely tied to G-Spot stimulation, but sometimes overlooked when talking about the G-spot. Kylie and Derrick did a great job explaining their experiences with squirting before even taking off their clothes, and once they let the clothes fly, I was glued to the scene – from first lick to final gushing squirt. While this was my favorite scene, the entire guide is thorough, detailed, interesting and super sexy – and totally worthy of it’s 2009 AVN Award nomination for Best Educational Release.
