I was pretty stoked when I found out that me and my vagina were lucky enough to have the chance to review a Lelo Ina. Having never used a Lelo product before but having heard and read nothing but high praise, I was pretty much lathering at the thighs in anticipation. I was hoping for a dream cum true.
When my Ina arrived, I gave the obligatory ‘ooooh ahhhhhs’ that are necessary when receiving such a fancy product in an equally swanky box. Besides the complimentary hard case gift box, the Ina also comes with a satin pouch, a charger, manual and a 1 year warranty. Bingo!
The Ina is made of a phthalate-free silicone with a hard, white plastic handle. The whole design is very sleek, ergonomic and looks like it’ll curve inside and around my vulva like well trained fingers. The interface is easy to understand and gives you the option to control the speed and intensity for 8 settings of vibration (which are practically silent!). A 2 hour charge will give you around 4 hours of play time.
I’ve used a bunch of rabbit styled vibes before and have never had much luck but I kept up my quest because I was really turned on by the idea of having my gspot AND clit massaged simultaneously. I’m on the eternal search for toys that can instigate hands free orgasms. But if I wasn’t put off by the idea of weird, animal shaped stimulators gyrating and vibrating on my clit, the common theme of metal balls, rotating shafts, glittery veins and weird jelly materials did the trick in sufficiently turning me off them.
Unfortunately, when it came to play time, I was surprisingly disappointed with the Ina.
At first, I kind of enjoyed the feeling of the Ina. It gripped tights. So tight that I could take my hands away and do naked star jumps and it wouldn’t budge (this didn’t happen but it totally could have). I usually like quite hard and direct penetration but there was something about the Ina that just didn’t fit right. I just couldn’t get myself to the finish line with it. If I angled the toy, it would kind of hit my gspot but not in a way that would allow me orgasm but would pinch my clit weirdly, like a techno robot crab on heat would. The fact that I received an orange Ina only assisted in my weird crab fantasy. When I tried to position the toy so that it hit my clit comfortably, it made me lose the gspot stimulation inside. It was a bit weird.
I’m confused as to why the Ina was made with a non adjustable clit stimulator that sits SO TIGHTLY on the vulva. I like hard stimulation but this was just awkward. I couldn’t help but wonder if it was just the way I was built down there that didn’t work for me.
After doing some research into other bloggers opinions, it seemed that the Ina was either a definite yay or nay with them. It doesn’t seem to be a one-size-fits-all-vulvas/vaginas, which means a lot of people had exactly the same experience as I did, which just as many, if not more, blogged it was the best toy they’ve ever owned. Go figure.
Verdict: I’m gutted that I don’t love the Ina because I really wanted to. There seems no reason that I shouldn’t. I mean, it’s beautiful, innovative, the packaging is gorgeous, the colour is great, there’s no noisy glittery rotating faux cock shafts. But, it just doesn’t do it for me. I’m not bagging out the toy because I can see how it’s the best for some people… it just doesn’t fit my cunt right. I would recommend it but it’s hard to know whether it’ll be a hit or miss for you. If you’re keen beans on one, read some other reviews and make up your mind from there!
Specs:
Name: Ina.
Brand: Lelo.
Size: 200 x 62 x 33 mm.
Weight: 130g.
Materials: Silicone.
Colours: Orange, lime green or purple.
Price: A$219.
Worthy of Note: The Ina has an interface locking function which is handy if you’re travelling and want to avoid the ole ‘vibrator going off in your luggage’ trick. Handy. The fact that the Ina is rechargeable and comes with its own charger is AWESOME.
Places it Feels Good: If your body is one of the lucky ones, then the Ina will make you feel VERY good. Unfortunately, if you’re me, it’s a bit like heavy petting with a horny teenage crab.
I wasn’t paid for this review. I was given the product on the terms of providing a fair & true review.
Great review. I have done heavy petting with horny teenage crabs and let me tell you, 2 out of 5 stars is generous!

I adore your little crab self-portrait!
I had the same experience as you with the Ina–now I’m reading about the etiquette of regifting sex-toys (do, or ew?)…sigh. I wish I’d spent the extra money and gone for the Soraya. I finally got that one, and it works like a charm.
