The Lily - Review 1

LELO Pleasure Objects Lily Vibrator Pink

The Lily is a delicate little vibrator from Swedish designers LELO (Luxury Erotic Lifestyle Objects) who create high end "pleasure objects" for discriminating connoisseurs who appreciate the subtleties of fine design. Their catchy tag line is "lust objectified", which is a perfect catch phrase for LELO’s mission which is to "provide... high-quality alternatives to traditional sex products... [that are] not just functional, but seductive in their own right." LELO hopes to accomplish this "[b]y challenging the overall concept of aesthetically pleasing, orgasm-inducing, high-quality alternatives to the norm and thus inspire a more female-friendly erotic market space... through a special blend of fashion, femininity, engineering and design..." One of my pet peeves with the sex toy industry is cheaply-made, low quality, mass-produced sex toys manufactured from questionable and potentially dangerous materials that flood the market place. (See my article on harmful sex toy materials "Sex Toy Materials-Snake Oils in Sexy Packaging?".) So it is wonderful to see companies who cater to women’s pleasure with quality-made sex toys that look just as good as they feel.

The Lily is reminiscent of its namesake the flower, being lightweight (37 grams), small and delicate in design (fits the palm of your hand) and beautifully formed like a Calla Lily with a curving teardrop shape. In fact, all of LELO’s pleasure objects seem to be inspired from floral forms in nature, which in turn have been historically, artistically and erotically symbolic of the female genitalia. The Lily is manufactured from FDA approved PC-ABS plastics and features a sensual pearl finish that has a silken caress against the skin. It is ergonomically contoured to fit the curves of a woman’s intimate body parts and comfortable, requiring very little manipulation to control. You can pretty well allow the Lily to just sit there and snuggle in once you have the speed and position you most enjoy. For such a small, delicate object, the Lily is incredibly powerful with five gradual speeds and five stimulation modes controlled by two handy (+) and (-) buttons that allows the user variation in their exploration of pleasure. Yet, surprisingly, it purrs as quiet as a whisper.

The manufacturer is environmentally conscientious and tries to "minimize [their] environmental footprint" by making all their pleasure objects rechargeable, thus reducing the amount of batteries going into landfills. The Lily takes two hours to charge and lasts up to seven hours. It also features a "lock" function which makes it great for throwing in your purse (in its little satin pouch) or for discrete travel, as you don’t have to worry about it accidentally turning on. If that was not enough, the Lily comes with a one-year LELO warranty.

I enjoy clitoral stimulation above other types of penetration the most and am constantly looking for new clitoral vibes that improve on what I already have. The Lily has far surpassed all my expectations and blows all my old toys away. They are not even in the same league as the Lily. The vibration is powerful, yet subtle, and has the most sensual quality about it because of the silky texture, making it more like a lover than a toy. "Pleasure object" is an apt description as the Lily is more about sensual exploration and a slow building to climax, rather than a goal-orientated rush at the races. It allowed me to bring myself to the edge several times before taking that final deep plunge into body tingling ecstasy.

LELO also has many other beautifully designed pleasure objects including Nea, "the modest sister of LILY... with a porcelain-like finish" and Yva, the "elegant pleasure object d’art, handcrafted in stainless steel or 18 K gold-plate." LELO also has pleasure objects designed for G-spot stimulation including the Iris, Gigi and Liv.

The Lily comes in three colors: Black, Plum and Antique Pink. It comes with an elegant gift box, plug-in charger, instruction manual, and satin pouch for stylish storage. The Lily is a sophisticated, sexy little pleasure object that makes a great gift for yourself or a lover. Giving this toy as a gift will definitely make a statement that one is not soon to forget.

Lily Review 2


She goes everywhere I go - Lelo Lily

I've been drooling over LELO sex toys since the first time I ever laid eyes upon one. I don't think I've ever seen such gorgeous sex toys - they are sleek, beautiful, and elegant enough to put out on one's coffee table as art!

So, when LELO offered me the chance to review one of their toys, of course I said yes please! They were lovely enough to send me the gorgeous little Lily! (I received the black one, exactly as pictured above.) Similar in shape to the gorgeous little Nea with its elegant floral motif, the Lily is slightly different because it's covered in a wonderfully soft velvety skin that warms up with your body temperature.

But first things, first, upon receiving the Lily, I spent several minutes oohing and aahing over the gorgeous packaging. The Lily arrives in a sleek black box, and comes with a recharging cord and silky drawstring bag. And it's a tiny little thing! I had no idea just how little it actually was, but it fits rather neatly in the palm of my hand. The instructions tell you to charge the toy, but never for longer than twenty four hours. After a two hour charge, it was ready to go for up to seven hours, and I was more than ready to try it out!

Personally, I was really, really impressed with the Lily! For such a small toy, it packs in some amazing vibrating power! There are five different vibration modes, easily controlled with a touch of a button. One button turns the vibration up to the next level, the other will take things down a notch. And it's nice and quiet - and discretion is a big deal for me since I live with other people. But the Lily was so quiet that D had to reach over to touch it and feel the vibrations to know that it was turned on.

I like to use the Lily by holding the larger end of the "bean" shape, and sliding the narrow end against my cleft, and holding it in place with a cupped palm. By varying the pressure of my hand, I could control the amount of stimulation, letting it build up gradually. And while definitely not in the same category as the Hitachi Magic Wand, sometimes I think I prefer the more subtle vibrations because they give me greater control and allow me to really build up a longer, more luxurious orgasm.

I keep the Lily with me all the time. No joke! It's in my purse right now. The little silky bag is the perfect size to toss in my handbag and its quiet little motor has come in handy for relieving some "tension" at work on my lunch break!

The other day, after spending the afternoon teasing myself with it over the span of a few hours, I came home from work completely worked up and ready for some action. I laid on my stomach, with the toy beneath me, pressed up against my cleft, just barely pushing my lips apart. Grinding myself against the bed, and the Lily got me so worked up, and got D worked up, too, from just watching me! He pulled me to my knees and entered me from behind, and I kept the Lily in place against my clit using the palm of cupped hand. The combined sensations of rough hard penetration against the smooth vibrations was overwhelming me, and it was only afterwards, having collapsed into a sweaty pile, that I realized I had squirted explosively when I came, all over my thighs - something I've never done before in that position! How hot is that?!

Clean up is easy - if you are careful not to get water in the recharging hole, you could use soap and water, but personally, I prefer to use these pre-moistened toy wipes. They're handy, antibacterial, and I can keep a pack in my purse alongside my Lily for quick and dirty cleanup!
So yeah, I'm a huge fan of LELO! I think every woman needs a discrete little vibrator tucked inside their purse to make their day a little more interesting, if you know what I mean! And so, I think every woman needs a Lily!
