Certainly that’s a bold claim and one I was delighted to explore, so I awaited the arrival of my LELO with lewd anticipation.

Even before opening, I’m aware of how classily the LELO is packaged. It feels special, indulgent and expensive. Upon unwrapping the layers that protect this little darling, I feel like I’m being prepared to receive a very special gift; if you can evoke that sense of joy associated with Christmas gift giving, you’ll be close.

The first thing that strikes me, is how small and seemingly delicate the LELO is. Mine is the aptly named Lily. Available in rich tones of pink, plum or black satin, I have received the dark purple variety. It sits, poised in its box, not a wire to be seen.

Being a wireless toy grants it an excellent advantage in my eyes. Previously my favourite sex toy was a cosmic egg, complete with errant wires and batteries that needed replacing too often (in my opinion). However, the Lily is wire and battery free, so once it’s charged up, it’ll happily run for hours.

‘It’? Allow me to dispense with such impersonal coldness, for already this sweet toy has become something of a familiar pet. It’s a ‘she’ and as close to the Goddess personified as a vibe could be. If Venus herself were to pitch up in the form of a vibe, I’m sure she’d choose the LELO Lily.

You might enjoy learning that lilies symbolise purity and tenderness, so it was with deviant pleasure that I settled down with this lucky charm for an indulgent, sensual self pleasure session. Perhaps the most delightful aspect of the Lily is the way she feels, gorgeous to the touch, so soft, sensual and silky. She’s snug, so ergonomically attuned to the intimate curves of a woman’s body. She nestles into the folds and furrows with subtle ease, as slick as an experienced lover. The Lily invites play. You want to hold her and roll her around in your hands.

The Lelo’s primary function is as a clitoral stimulator, and naturally at this she shines. I found a couple of divine ways for her to explore my vulnerable parts. Instinctively, she feels so right resting against your labia while contentedly buzzing away on your clit, but she gifts a huge level of pleasure resting on the pubis and accessing the clitoris from this higher vantage point. And that’s the inherent beauty and wisdom of the design; it’s made to feed and fit into a woman’s flesh.

Moreover, she’s exceptionally discreet, not only in terms of her appearance but in her deference to quietness. Here there is no need to muffle or hide away for she makes such little noise, a kind of whirling hum. I’ve never known such a quiet toy and that’s exceptional in itself because noise concerns do detract from your pleasure so shedding eavesdropping concerns is a boon.

Indeed, I recently read a report that suggested a high majority of women found most vibrators too noisy, too aggressive and distasteful to look at. In essence the Lily counters each of these problems and so represents the next evolution, as one revolutionary member of the elite LELO family.

Some specifics:

The Lily has dual controls, two buttons at the base; one to speed things up, the other to slow things down. These buttons also lock, which is a true mercy for anyone who’s experienced the shame of a toy setting itself off in your handbag. So it’s really travel friendly.

The vibration intensity increases with each incremental touch of the button. This isn’t a crazy speed freak; her vibration is powerful yet gentle so if you’re looking for something sensual, something that teases a more voluptuous and seductive response from you, this is ideal.

Each Lily comes with a satin pouch for careful carrying and storage, so you can tuck her up well in her gift box. Let’s face it, a subtle and strong means of storage dignifies your pleasure pet immeasurably.

This is easily the most elegant and exquisite clitoral toy (and in fact sexual toy) I have ever seen and experienced. I consider it a mercy and a relief to learn that designers have finally realised that women don’t want, need or like crass sex toys. I find them demeaning and disturbing, and the Lily rights that vulgar imbalance with grace. It’s a long overdue product and I’m a proud owner. Just by these facts alone, the Lily is a sure fire winner.

Interestingly, her floral namesake carries some fascinating associations, among them the symbolism of pure, virginal love. Perhaps it’s the devil in me, but those connotations lend themselves so well to pleasurable corruption. After all, the Lily is the flower of ‘Forever in love,’ and after a blissful night with this irresistible darling, you’ll consider her deserving of that accolade.
