Lelo Sila Sonic Clitoral Stimulator Review
To all my fellow ladies out there… being a woman is amazing. We’re not competing in immature little cock measuring contests. We’re not doing dumb shit to impress “the boys.” We’re out here spreading peace and love to our amazing, beautiful, talented and smart women out there!
We’re also having all the fun in the world with our absolutely amazing sex toys.
We’ve come a long way from just dildos and vibrators. Along the years, we’ve played with double sided and squirting dildos, cock simulators, strap ons and harnesses. When our partners failed us, we pleased ourselves with bullet and rabbit vibrators, clit and G spot stimulators, wands and wearable vibrators.
When we feel like cumming a bunch of times, hell, we keep going until we damn well please--who needs to walk straight afterwards anyway, you don’t have anywhere urgent to go.
When it comes to the advancement of our sex toys and our amazing orgasmic pleasure, there is no shortage of creative ways that the sex toy industry held out their hand and told us to follow them into the land of never ending orgasms.
One of their express trains to climax-town is the sonic vibrator, which uses vibrations along the inner walls of your vagina to give you that exact toe curling orgasm that you’ve been dreaming of all day.
One clit stimulator in particular does this amazingly, and that is the Lelo Sila Sonic Clitoral Vibrator. Throughout this article I’ll tell you why, but for starters, as a woman, I know what I need to cum--I know how to do it and exactly how I want it. No matter how I frame my bean-flicking sessions in my mind, the Lelo Sila is there every single time.
In this review, I’ll walk you through everything about the Lelo Sila while letting you know my own experiences while using it. At the end, I’ll wrap up with what I like about it and what I liked less, along with some of my tips on how you could really enhance your pretty much guaranteed orgasm even further. For all the technical readers out there, I will discuss the usual things like its measurements and size, packaging and maintenance.
While you read this, keep in mind that you are reading about a sonic vibrator and not a traditional vibrator, but you already knew that.
Why are Sonic Vibrators Different?
So it might be helpful to talk about what makes sonic vibes different from our tried and true, conventional toys of the past.
You all know this, but traditional vibrators are these silicone handheld machines that contain a vibrating motor inside.
Whenever the silicone exterior comes into contact with your vag (usually your clit, but some can be inserted also), you can delight in orgasmic bliss because of the vibrator’s combination of pressure, speed and vibration patterns.
You can do this all day pretty much, but you will will feel a post-nut numbness once you’re done because you will have just felt strong vibrations for a long period of time along the same body part--it’s the same principle as your foot falling asleep if you sit on it for too long.
So, unlike traditional vibrators, sonic vibrators do not make you cum by vibrating on the same spot.
Instead of vibrator on skin pleasure, sonic vibrators get the job done by using your clit in combination with “echoing” inside your vagina, which ultimately results in the vibrations being felt more deeply and more thoroughly--sometimes you can even feel the vibrations in your pelvis!
How do they do this, you ask? What is the magic here? Well, sonic vibrators use an oscillating disc that creates sonic waves that are capable of penetrating deep inside your vag, and when I say deep, I mean really deep. In order to do this, it has to cling on to something, so it closes onto your clit while the vibrations do the rest.
Think of it this way: the traditional vibrator brings pleasure to your clit; sonic vibrators bring pleasure through your clit.
So now that my vibrators 101 lesson is complete, let’s look at one of my faves, the Lelo Sila, and dive deep into why I, and many others, are in such a damn good mood all the time.
Lelo Sila Sonic Clitoral Stimulator Appearance & Design
First thing’s first, you’ll notice that the Lelo Sila has a really unique appearance, especially when compared to other sonic vibrators. Instead of a wand-like appearance or having a handle, the Lelo Sila just has a mouth and a round body--to be completely honest, it looks like a very sexy and orgasm-inducing measuring tape. Instead of measuring length, it measures your…. orgasm? (Lame joke I know!)
So, it doesn’t have a handle, what’s so special about that? Well, if you have ever felt the annoyance of almost cumming and then having your knee knock your vibrator out of position, you can definitely be happy about the Sila’s design.
You can freely let it suck your clit and almost have hands free play, although you will probably want to be all over the vibrator’s many patterns and speeds in case you want to vamp it up.
The Sila is made entirely of ABS plastic and body safe silicone, so it follows the same quality and protective materials of other high quality toys. It is completely waterproof for waterplay, and can be sold in one of three colors: pink, aqua and lilac.
Along its body is a gold colored plastic that contains the Lelo brand. Just by looking at it, you can tell that this is a high quality orgasm guaranteed little toy, and it looks really pretty too!
Right behind its mouth is an easy and user-intuitive three button interface: a plus sign, a circle and a minus sign. Similar to the rest of Lelo’s products, the plus and minus signs change the vibration speed, while the circle button in between them changes the vibration pattern, of which there are 8 patterns in this little thing! A useful tip is that the plus sign also acts as a lock, so if you find that magic combination of speed and rhythm, you can lock it in place.
When it comes to measurements, this tiny toy measures just above 3 inches long, 3 inches wide and around one and a half inches tall (Lelo logo facing upwards.) With these dimensions, you can easily keep the Sila hidden in your purse or pocket.
Lelo Sila Packaging and Maintenance
After buying your Sila, you will see how pretty the package is. Seriously, everything about this clit stimulator is physically attractive
It comes in a matte black box with a see through window. The bottom of the box says Lelo in gold letters, which again, looks great on the black box.
Once you open the box, you will see your Sila resting on a spine bed, a USB charging cable, a stretchy and discrete black storage pouch and a tiny packet of Lelo’s water based lube. There is also an instruction manual and a warranty registration card which lasts up to one year.
When it comes to charging the Silo, it is pretty standard for modern toys. Instead of batteries, all you need to do is recharge the vibrator by connecting it to a computer or adapter. Charging time can be a little long for a toy this small, as it takes 2 hours to charge from a completely dead battery to a full charge.
While charging, an LED light will flicker every once in a while, and when it is done charging, the light will just stay on, without any flickering. Once unplugged, a fully charged Sila will last about 2 hours of continuous orgasmic delight.
Did I mention earlier that the Lelo Sila is waterproof? You can make bath time even more enjoyable? Yup, but a waterproof toy also allows for a quick cleanup. Just like any standard toy, rinse it under warm water with antibacterial soap until fully dry. Try your best to avoid using hand creams, silicone based lubes or standard cleaning products that contain alcohol so that you won’t damage the body or impact how it performs.
Drying it is pretty standard as well. Just simply air dry the Sila or use a lint free cloth to gently pat dry the vibrator. If you really want to dry it up quickly so that you can use it again, gently rub a lint free cloth against it, but definitely don’t use too much pressure to avoid tearing the high quality material.
Lelo Sila Walkthrough
Just like any toy, be sure you are warmed up. Your clit is going to get a lot of action, so make sure you’re already aroused because this clit stimulator is going to suck your soul out of your body. It has 8 different vibration patterns that are more than enough to cycle through your menu of orgasmic pleasures. Although realistically any vibration is a good vibration, definitely take some time to figure out what you like the most.
Using it isn’t too hard. Place the Sila’s mouth over your clit and make sure that the buttons are facing upwards, toward you. Turn it on and feel how good your clit getting sucked feels.
Once you’ve found your favorite spot, change the speed, intensity and pattern setting to your enjoyment. They range from a constant buzz to rhythmic dots, long vibrations or multiple quick pulses, or combinations of any of these.
If you’re wondering about noise, the Lelo Sila is silent as the grave. The packaging and advertising describe the clitoris stimulator as “whisper quiet” and I found that to be true. If you want exact numbers, the Sila during operation ranges from 40-50 dB in sound. Of course, if this is still too loud, you can always play music too.
Lelo Sila - Observations
My experience with the Lelo Sila was a bit cut short because of the vibrator’s really wide mouth. If you have a small clit like me, you probably will have to really modify your pleasure with the vibrator because its mouth is pretty wide. Personally, I just provided support on the back--I pressed the Silo right against my vag and that did the trick. I loved the many different vibration patterns and how many speed options I had. I felt that for a toy of this size, I was only going to expect limited variations, but I was blown away!
Each time I used the Lelo Sila, I kept it going for 2 or 3 orgasms per session. I loved how deep the vibrations felt--when it was placed exactly where I wanted, I felt my pelvis getting in on some vibration action. I still felt some post-cum vibrations after, but that could be because I used the vibrator for so long each time.
My actual experience cumming? The Sila is pretty consistent. I’d give it as low as an 8.5/10, and as high as a 10/10. Each nut felt like a really centered and deep orgasm, almost as if the pleasure was coming from deep within me, instead of from a toy located at my clit. Of course, my clit was aroused the entire time and I had some pretty amazing clit/depth orgasm combinations.

Conclusion
Sonic vibrators are ridiculously satisfying because each orgasm feels like your soul escaping your body. The Lelo Sila’s vibrations run so deep and you feel such a release each time you finish.
The Lelo Sila is so small and compact that you can bring it anywhere. Because of how quiet it is, you can whip it out while you’re in the bathroom or for some really risky public play. Despite its small size, it has a surprising number of vibration patterns and speeds.
Admittedly, it has a wide mouth, but there are many ways to work around that. All things considered, the Lelo Sila is an amazing toy to make your day an amazing one. You really can’t go wrong in having one for yourself.
