It’s no secret that we at SheKnows love a good vibrator (or, more realistically: 100+ good vibrators). So I’m thrilled to introduce you, dear reader, to my one of my new besties in the clitoral vibe world: Stella.

When I first heard our sisters over at Stylecaster teamed up with one of our favorite sex toy retailers (Ella Paradis) to create the vibrator of their dreams, I immediately knew it was something I wanted in my collection (preferably ASAP). In a market where there’s just a lot of sex toys (all cool and shiny and sexy) dropping every other week, it helps to know and trust where your toy is coming from — and I’m delighted to report that it has totally passed my personal vibe check (pun intended, I’m annoying) with flying colors. And, conveniently, it’s on sale throughout Memorial Day Weekend for just $69.99 until May 30.

A bit about her: Stella is a sweet mid-sized vibe that is hand-held (I really dug the handle because it was easy to keep exactly where you want it and hold without twisting your wrist around too much) featuring a strong flicking tongue surrounded by silicone vibrating nubs — offering two totally complimentary types of stimulation. Whisper quiet once it’s settled against you, it offers ten speeds (from something more subtle to higher more OMG-worthy ones) and is both USB rechargeable and waterproof.

And, although it’s not too important, it’s also really cute. The sweet light blue color makes it super un-intimidating for people new to sex toys and #aesthetic and unique for more experienced toy collectors who are tired of purple, pink and black toys (yawn).

Taking Stella for a spin, the flicking tongue-like feature was absolutely a stand-out selling point. There are a lot of hyper-realistic toys out there that claim to mimic oral sex through suction, pressure or flicks — but this one offers the tongue and mouth-like feeling (owed to the subtle-yet-substantial flick paired with the vibrations)  without the toy taking on a spooky, sci-fi look or crossing into Uncanny territory. It is a toy that gets results but doesn’t make it weird along the way and I love that.

I think this toy would be an excellent choice for someone who isn’t fond of the rumbly wand-like vibrations (particularly if that can get too intense) but needs a bit more action and movement than a vibrating egg or regular suction vibe can offer. I also think, for couples who have mixed feelings about giving and receiving oral sex, this could be a great way to offer a foreplay (or mid-sex) assist to help vulva-owners make it over the edge — as it’s a bit easier to handle (thanks to its handle) than some of the other clitoral stimulators on the market.

All in all, Stella has made comfortably made a name for herself in my bedside drawer and my heart and you’ll absolutely want to check her out over your holiday weekend if you’re in the market for a new toy.
