LELO Insignia Alia review

As a huge LELO fan, I was thrilled when they released the waterproof (yay!) collection of luxury vibrators called Insignia. Having already featured the Soraya and Isla, I finally wanted to share my experience with the Lelo Insignia Alia. Alia is the cute little clit vibe from the collection, and it’s stylish design and functionality makes it a fantastic little toy. It comes packaged in the signature little black Lelo gift box, it comes with the Lelo 1 year limited warranty, a black satin drawstring storage bag, toy charger and a cute little silver Insignia brooch. Alia is sleek and oval like a naughty little egg, and it comes in either a pink, rose, or black color. I got the black color and it’s really nice and luxurious looking. The entire toy is made of body safe ABS plastic (the silver inner handle) and quality silicone. The silicone is very soft and smooth and feels fantastic on the skin. Alia fits in the palm of your hand, it’s almost like a lipstick vibe redux, it’s shaped nothing but lipstick but it’s small, fits in a purse, great for clitoral stimulation, and it’s super discreet. I could leave the Lelo Alia on my dresser and someone would probably think it was a fashion accessory or something. The Alia doesn’t feature a button interface like previous LELO toys, instead the “buttons” are seamless and placed on the top of the Alia in a +/- encased in the Lelo Insignia logo which looks like a funky little triple figure 8. You can turn the toy on or off, browse through the different vibration patterns and vibration speeds all at the press of a finger. It’s pretty easy to switch the vibration modes even with slippery fingers, the silicone is easy to press and the buttons aren’t stiff or too firm but not soft enough that you’ll press them on accident. Alia itself is not 100% seamless though. It features a tiny little pin-sized hole in the bottom of the toy. At first sight I thought it was a flaw, since it’s a open hole unlike the charging ports in the Soraya or Isla. Alia is waterproof, not just splashproof, but actually waterproof so I found myself wondering why there was a open hole at the charging source. I plugged the charger into the port, and plugged the other end into the wall outlet and let it charge. Once it was done, and I reviewed the toy and the time came to wash Alia I was worried that water would still get into the charging port – it didn’t! Totally awesome. The open hole will take the charging import plug, but even if you put the toy under water, the water won’t enter the hole. I think it’s the way that the silicone dips down slightly at the hole, somehow it creates an air-like seal.

A few hours charge will keep this bad boy ready and fully juiced for hours of use. Since it’s waterproof it can be taken in the shower or bathtub also. It’s also easier to clean than previous LELO toys since it’s waterproof. You can hold it under the faucet and wash with anti-bacterial soap and water, toy cleaner, or a toy wipe. Since the Alia isn’t 100% silicone, I wouldn’t really recommend boiling or putting it in the dishwasher. The silicone isn’t seamless around the inner silver ABS plastic handle of the toy either, so be sure to clean the seam. It’s okay if water gets on the seam. This may be the only drawback to Alia, it would have been great had it been 100% silicone making it able to be fully sterilized and 100% seamless. The core of the toy is ABS plastic while the silicone surrounds it. The toy features 6 different modes ranging from a soft vibration to a high mode. I am a big fan of Lelo’s motors in their toys, to me, they create nice vibrations that resonate deeply rather than just being pitchy vibrations. The vibrations, even at it’s highest setting isn’t super powerful, but it’s definitely a nice amount of power. The vibration modes go from a slow rumble to a more musical rhythmic beat. The vibrations are pretty quiet, like with most Lelo toys. Quiet enough not to be heard through a door, which is great if you have roommates or want to take Alia when you travel. Speaking of, the TSA just gave the OK on sex toys! Vibrators can be taken along in your luggage, and Alia makes it easy with it’s size and discreet design. The toy can also be locked by pressing and holding the +/- buttons for 3 seconds, it can be unlocked the same way. Makes it great for travel or taking the Alia in your handbag, not having to worry about it accidentally turning itself on in your purse!

Alia can be grasped with your finger through the hole, which makes it pretty comfortable to hold, it also makes it great for aiming directly at the clit. You can massage the head of Alia which is slightly rounded to an oval point all over your body including your neck, breasts, nipples, stomach, and entire vulva. It can also be massaged against a man’s shaft, balls and perineum. Making this also a fun couples toy. The toy is small enough that it will fit between two bodies as well, and can be held against the clit while you engage in partner sex. The tip of Alia can nestle between the inner labia quiet nicely and tease your clit that way while the edges of the toy vibrate against your vulva. I think Alia is super cute and it’s definitely a luxury toy, it’s well made, and the fact that it’s rechargeable and waterproof makes it a great toy that you can feel confident about using without having to fumble around for batteries or worry about getting water into the battery compartment. I grab Alia a lot for impromptu masturbation sessions, it fits right in my bedside table drawer and because it’s so easy to clean and I can keep it charged in my drawer, I grab it often for last minute before bed self-love romps
The soft silicone make this toy feel great, and it works well with water-based lubes, so be sure to steer clear of silicone lubes when using Alia. I like using Alia on it’s highest vibration setting, and since it’s not overly powerful like some vibrators, it’s great for those with sensitive clits or those who like being able to choose from a variety of vibration settings and speeds without only having to choose between low or high. While Alia isn’t my favorite LELO toy, it’s definitely a great vibe and I’m glad to have it in my collection!
