Lelo Sila Review

Personal Experience

It’s All in the Build Up

The Best Solo Orgasms I’ve Ever Had

Design

One thing I really love about the Sila is the bigger stimulation mouth as it spreads the stimulation over a larger area, making it little less intense but a lot more enjoyable. Also, the soft, flat, wide rim does a much better job at making a secure seal between the toy and your body — I can pull the toy away from body gently without breaking the seal, which I haven't found with any other clitoral stimulators. I was unsure if I would like the round design of the Sila at first but I actually think it works pretty well when using the Sila alone. However, it's not so practical if you want to use it during penetrative play. The Sila comes in a three lovely shades — aqua, lilac, and pink, and I would have been equally happy to receive any of them, although I do really love the pink!

Ease of Use

The Sila is super easy to use and I love that there are separate buttons to turn the intensity up or down and activate the patterns. As someone who tends to steer clear of patterns, I can just leave that button well alone! I think the wider mouth also makes it easier to find the right position and will suit a greater range of bodies compared to the smaller mouth of the Sona. I was also happy to see that Lelo have stuck with the pin-style charger, as I'm always weary of magnetic chargers not staying connected properly during the charge.

Quality

I feel like Lelo's toys can be a bit hit or miss, but the Sila is a top quality toy in my opinion. The silicone is deliciously smooth and inviting and the toy feels very well made. It has a pretty good charge life of 2 hours, is waterproof, and has a travel lock.

Price

While it's definitely not the cheapest suction stimulator on the market, if you have the budget for it, the Sila is worth every penny! I also think Sila will suit more people than the more intense Sona, which I also loved.

Performance

The Sila is less intense than some other suction stimulators but that really is where it's magic lies! You can enjoy the most gorgeous build ups on the lower settings, which lead to some of the best orgasms I have ever had. That's not to say it's not a powerful toy — the higher settings do ramp up in intensity, but aren't as overwhelming as some other suction toys. That being said, if you love the high settings on the Sona or Womanizer, this might not do it for you in terms of power. Like most suction toys, the Sila is by no means silent but I would say it is one of the quieter ones.

Packaging

The Sila comes in Lelo's signature black and gold box, which definitely gives the air of luxury. The box is nice and sturdy and would be fine for storing the Sila in, but you also get a little black storage back which will take up far less room.

Materials and care

Made from silicone and ABS plastic and 100% waterproof, the Lelo Sila is super easy to keep clean using either some fragrance-free soap or sex toy cleaner and some warm water. The wider mouth also makes it much easier to clean and dry inside the mouth. You should only use water-based lubricants to protect the silicone in the toy — applying a little lube around the mouth of toy really makes a difference.

Special feature

The Sila’s wider and deeper mouth and thick rim set it apart from other top suction stimulators, such as the Sona 2 Cruise, Womanizer Premium, or Satisfyer Pro 2. This unique design spreads the stimulation out and makes a better seal around your clitoris. It’s also fab for anyone who has a larger clitoris! The second thing is it is actually designed to deliver a more gentle stimulation than other clit suckers to give you more time to enjoy your solo play and experience slow, sensual pleasure that builds gradually.
