LELO Enigma review

Did you know only 25% of cis-women are consistently orgasmic during vaginal intercourse (psychology today, 2009)

If you are a woman reading this then I am sure you are not surprised by this fact. If you think about the amount of mediocre sex you have experienced in your life it might out-way the good. There can be many reasons for this but one big one is that your pleasure has never really mattered in a man’s eyes! It’s most likely been all about priotising his pleasure. I know this because it’s a fact that women’s pleasure is not something that has historically been prioritized. As a result we can feel stunned when we actually meet a man or person that cares about what interests us and what get’s us off!

And then there’s self pleasure. No, we can’t enjoy this either because society says we should be ashamed of ourselves if we engage in masturbation.

Let’s look at it a slightly different way. If there is something in life that gives you pleasure would you engage in it more often or make it a priority in your life? Most likely yes, so why should self pleasure be any different? Why should we be ashamed of something that can make us feel so so good?

I’m on a mission to destigmatise self pleasure for women and vulva owners. I’m bringing you the best and worst of the sex toys on the market.

In this blog I review the LELO Enigma G spot and clit vibrator. This baddie is a dual stimulation toy.

Sex toys that offer dual stimulation increase the chances of climax while helping you read your body’s response to different types of stimulation.

The LELO Enigma is a sex toy designed for just that.

If you’re someone who can’t orgasm without clitoral stimulation (like a lot of women) then this toy could be perfect for you.

Enigma goes one step further. Instead of your run-of-the-mill surface clitoral vibration, Enigma uses LELO’s patented sonic wave technology that stimulates the entire clitoris, not just its visible parts, and pairs this with penetration which brings about an overwhelming climax.

It has 8 pleasure settings so you’re sure to find one that works for you.

How to use the LELO Enigma

Step 1

Always wash toys before use. You can wash the Enigma with warm soapy water.

Step 2

Lube it up - squirt on lot’s of lube, don’t be shy!

Step 3

Adjust the vaginal end in place, not too deep, then adjust the clitoral end before you turn on the power.

Step 4

Press + button to turn on; start at the lowest speed and increase vibration and mode with how you are feeling.

Step 5

Groove and enjoy the toy in whatever feels right for you!

Why go for a dual vibrator?

Dual vibrators can give you double the pleasure. It means you can insert the vibrator internally and can also enjoy clit stimulation.

The good stuff

Here are some of the things I liked about the Enigma.

Neck Flexibility

For me I really loved the flexibility of the curved neck of the vibrator. This allows for extra movement and for you to be able to position the toy where it gives you the most pleasure. The toy can easily be controlled with one hand.

Double Vibes

I love the fact you can have double the pleasure. The Enigma provides external stimulation which is a huge plus because for a lot of vulva owners internal penetration alone will not lead to the big O!

Extra Soft Silicone

Soft toys are always a plus. They help you feel more at ease and make the experience more pleasurable.

Some extra things to note when using the LELO Enigma:

It’s Quiet

I love a quiet toy. This means if you live in student accommodation or with your parents it’s a great discreet toy.

Use lot’s of lube

Use lot’s of lube to lubricate the internal vibrator, this will give you a more pleasurable experience.

The only thing I would say about this sex toy is that dust can stick to it very easily so make sure to always wash before use and store in a dry dark place that isn’t prone to dust.

Can the LELO Enigma be used for Partnered play?

Yes, you can use this toy with a partner my advice would be to start on a low setting and increase the vibration as the mood flows. Always wash toys before and after use with a partner and use condoms.

Final thoughts

I believe the pandemic has given us a lot of space to look inward in our lives. And this means focusing more on what gives us pleasure. ‘Reports from sex toy companies across the globe reported booming sales during the pandemic. Survey research carried out by US sex toy retailer Tracy’s Dog reported that during the pandemic people were more likely to buy new sex toys and use them more often.’ (ounews.co, 2022) I am here for this news! I love the fact people are becoming more open discovering more about their bodies. As we lean a little more toward normalising the use of sex toys and sex (I say a little because there is still a long way to go) knowing the truth around sex is important. We are lead to believe that there is something wrong and shameful about giving or receiving pleasure or that sex has to look a certain way. Buying sex toys is normal, not using sex toys is also normal, learning how to ask and give consent and how to communicate with a partner or with yourself is important and should be normalised.

I would give the LELO Enigma a 4.5 stars. It’s a great dual toy for those who love penetration and clitoris play. It’s also completely waterpoof and is super soft. A great all round sex toy.
