LELO DOT Review 2024, Reviewed By A Sex Educator

Lelo DotAre you into precision when it comes to pleasure? Maybe you want that perfect spot and maximum efficiency, but you also crave variation in technique because you want the journey to be exciting. Can perfection exist for someone like you? Yes, it can, and it’s called LELO DOT! As someone who has tried many clitoral vibrators, I was very excited to try this new toy. Let’s see how it performs in my review!

Key Takeaways
4.6 out of 5 stars

It’s a given that LELO DOT will deliver intense orgasms. But it’s impressive HOW it does it. The luxurious soft tip, pinpoint stimulation, and strong vibrations, combined with the overall shape, give you a firm grip and total control. As I write this, I can still feel the oscillating tip between my lips around my clitoris. Mmm, such lingering satisfaction!

Who Should Try It? The DOT is for vagina owners who love pinpoint stimulation and being in control of exactly where and how they are brought to climax. It’s an excellent purchase for both novices and those with more experience because it delivers a unique and satisfying experience.

Who Can Skip It? People with a sensitive clitoris who prefer to be stimulated broadly rather than in a very specific sense. And if you want to get off quickly in a rumbling fashion, I suggest you buy a wand vibrator like Magic Wand instead.

What is LELO DOT?

LELO DOT is a whole new type of clitoral stimulator. While some people may prefer a clitoral vibrator that covers more ground, others find that broad stimulation can cause the area around the clitoris to become numb with prolonged use. Rather than just buzzing away aimlessly like a normal vibrator, it has a soft bendable tip that delivers precise stimulation wherever you want it. Using Infinite Loop Technology, the oscillating tip moves in a constant elliptical pattern (i.e., in the shape of an oval), bringing you to orgasm faster.

It’s also shaped so you can grab onto it securely, albeit from various angles. You can choose between eight vibration patterns of movements varying in intensity. These unique sensations stimulate the clitoris and other erogenous zones in new ways, allowing you to open up new horizons of pleasure. With such an extensive buffet of options, you may achieve multiple orgasms, whether on your own or playing with others.

Unboxing & First Impressions

LELO is an experienced sex toy manufacturer that knows what its customers need. As expected, the LELO DOT arrived in very discreet packaging, and you would never think such a package contained a sex toy!

The content of the box

Inside the package, I found a gorgeous box with my new LELO DOT. The black box was beautifully textured, with classic gold lettering, and featured a window through which I could immediately peek at my new best friend, the LELO DOT.

Right off the bat, I got the impression that this would not be one of those clumsy experiences involving a cheap box with unnecessary flaps that tear easily. The box was challenging to open because the two sections fit together precisely. I would soon discover the extent of LELO’s commitment to the precision game and the joys it would bring me.

Inside the box was my beautiful new pink LELO DOT. It came with a USB-charging cord, a luxurious satin storage pouch, a warranty registration card, and a detailed instruction manual.

Features

The Shape

The shape and movement are perhaps its two main defining features. Its pinpoint tip can stimulate your clitoris or any other body part you want to focus on.

In addition, the tip moves in an oval pattern, like a well-trained soft tongue that you can control – one that never gets tired. It’s also soft and bendy, made of soft medical-grade  silicone. So you can move it around precisely how you need it to work.

Then there’s the main body which is also uniquely shaped, allowing you to hold on to it in various ways, unlike your bog-standard vibrator. Some clit vibrators are too small, and I can’t hang on to them when I’m in the throes of pleasure.

The worst is when I lose my grip, then I lose my rhythm and have to start all over again. But LELO DOT has been designed to prevent this exact type of frustration because you can get a good grip on it.

The Settings

It can also shift between 8 settings, from a gentle bubbling to get you started to a wonderful whirring that will leave you clutching your sheets.

Speaking of bubbling, it’s also waterproof IPX7, which means you can submerge it in water (less than 1m deep) for up to 30 minutes. I had a lot of fun in the bath with this. Not only did the water add a new level of pleasure, but the shape ensured it didn’t slip out of my hands while I got myself off.

The Pinpoint Tip

If you’re concerned about how fragile the tip looks (it’s so tiny) and whether it will break under pressure, you’ll be relieved to know that the pinpoint vibrator comes with a one-year warranty as well as a ten-year quality guarantee.

That said, I did notice that the safety instructions in the manual recommend not bending the LELO DOT too aggressively to avoid damaging the soft tip permanently. But given how it is designed to move, you may not want to bend it so much; it’s better to adjust the intensity and let it do its thing.

How to Use LELO DOT?

The LELO DOT may look like a high-tech piece of alien equipment, but it’s so easy to use since it only has three buttons. As with all success, preparation is critical.

  1. Start by applying lube on your clit, or any other area you plan to use the LELO DOT on.
  2. Apply lube onto the LELO DOT as well, up to the tip.
  3. Then, relax, start on the lowest setting, and let it do its thing.
  4. Explore all the different vibration modes according to how you feel!

My Personal Experience

It had been a hectic period at work for me, and I was craving some quality me-time. Not the kind of me-time where you put on jazz music and read War and Peace for the third time while sipping on some oolong tea. But the kind where you turn off the phone, lock the doors and set yourself up to masturbate for a few hours. To kingdom come, as it were.

Nothing is more fun on such occasions than playing with a brand-new toy and this toy delivered just what I needed. I started by applying a lot of lube to my clit area and on the LELO DOT. I also covered the flexible tip with lube and coated it halfway up the body so the grip area would not be too slippery.

Once I did the prep, I turned it on to the lowest setting and let it do its thing. I loved gently sliding it between my lips on the sides of the clitoris hood (you never want to put any vibrator directly on the clitoris immediately). I was watching porn when I started, but the LELO DOT stole the show so quickly that I didn’t even need any other external stimulation.

The minimalist design made it easy to cycle between the different settings, and not once did I lose my grip on the toy. The design is also pretty intuitive, so I didn’t feel like I had to look at the toy to know which button to press. I noticed that depending on the amount of pressure and the angle I held it; the LELO DOT delivered very different sensations.

I had a lot of fun exploring all the other modes, feeling the intense sensations, and, of course, I can’t even count the number of orgasms I had that morning!

Packaging

From the get-go, everything went smoothly. I was surprised at how quickly my LELO DOT was delivered – just in time for the day I had planned. The postman had left the package outside the front door, so I was grateful for the discreet labeling. Inside the package, the pin point vibrator was housed in a luxurious box; even the initial visual inspection was already a treat.

Design

It took a hot minute to open the beautiful textured window box containing my new toy; it was so well-designed that it fitted together perfectly. I didn’t mind, though, because I was busy admiring the elegant gold lettering on the box. The shape is genuinely unique. Just looking at the precision tip got my imagination going wild about what I could do with it. The hole in the middle is for you to hold it properly and target areas precisely. I could grip it from different angles, something I don’t get to do with other sex toys I own.

Material

LELO DOT is made of extra-soft, body-safe silicone. It felt so lovely to touch and even better on my body. In fact, and I know this sounds strange, I found myself stroking it gently before and after use, because it was so oddly comforting!

Build Quality

The LELO DOT is very well made. It looks high-end and is made of high-quality materials. At first glance, you wouldn’t think it was a sex toy, and it sets itself apart from your standard vibrator.

Ease Of Use

Due to its unique shape, I thought I would have to spend a bit of time learning how to use my new LELO DOT, but I was surprised at how easy it was. You charge it up, turn it on, put it wherever you want, and let it do its thing.

Stimulations

I’ve used clitoral stimulators before, so I know you must start slowly. I started on the lowest setting and slowly cycled through the different speeds and variations. The device has eight modes, and since clit play is so intense, I found that I wasn’t rushing but instead took my time to enjoy everything the toy had to offer.

Versatility

Unlike traditional vibrators, the DOT is very versatile. First, it’s not just for the clit, but also any part of your body you want to stimulate. But even if you focus on the clit, the precision tip allows you to position it in places you would not usually be able to access with larger clit stimulators. I loved sliding it onto the sides of my clitoral hood and slowly moving it around the area. The vibrations are intense at the tip, and it just feels incredible. Even though I’ve used it a few times, I feel like I’m not done exploring my body with this high-end sex toy.

Sound Level

The LELO DOT was one of the quietest vibrators I’ve encountered; believe me, I’ve tried many of them. Even on the highest setting, it was soft compared to some of my smaller wands. When I realized this, I thought I could use it even when people were at home. But after experiencing what it did to me, I know I wouldn’t be able to keep my voice down anyway!

It’s a given that the LELO DOT will deliver incredible orgasms. However, what is really amazing is HOW it does that. The luxurious feel of the precision soft tip, combined with the overall shape that gives you a firm grip and total control over the experience, is truly effective and impressive. As I write this, I can still feel the sliding of the flexible tip between my lips around my clit. Mmm, such lingering satisfaction… This is a toy that I would recommend to novices as well as those who have more experience with clitoral stimulators because it delivers such a unique and satisfying experience.

Pros:

  • Perfect for pampering. Beautiful packaging makes it ideal as a gift to yourself or a friend.
  • The beautiful extra-soft silicone is a treat for your body, and the excellent grip allows you to explore many angles.
  • The unique elliptical movement with different settings lets you slowly tease yourself into beautiful orgasms.

Cons:

  • I would have preferred if the lowest setting was EVEN softer, but that is because I greatly enjoy the build-up. Those who want to get down to business may not have a problem with it.
  • The charger plug doesn’t go all the way into the port. It charges just fine, but just the tip will fit inside. This was a bit unsettling for me, but I guess it says more about my personality!
  • The DOT is currently the most expensive clitoral vibrator on the LELO website. It might be a bit pricey for some, but they have a wide range of alternatives to explore.
  • It only comes in three pastel colors. Those who prefer a darker palate for their toy collection may find this limiting.

Who is This For?

This bendable vibrator is for those who need precision in their life and love being able to control exactly where and how they are brought to climax. Anyone looking for a high-end, luxurious, pampering experience. Singles or couples who want to try something completely different.

Who is This Not For?

People who are very sensitive and prefer to be stimulated in general rather than in a very specific sense. If you’re looking to get off quickly in a rumbling fashion, I would also suggest you try a different toy. Take a look at some of the alternatives listed above.

How to Clean LELO DOT?

I wash my LELO toys before and after each use. With the LELO DOT, you have two options for cleaning. Option 1: rinse the soft silicone with warm water and antibacterial soap. Once you have rinsed off the soap, pat it dry with a clean towel. Option 2: You can rinse it with warm water and then spray it with LELO Toy Cleaner. After that, rinse again and allow it to dry before you put it away.

Be sure only to use water-based lube as silicone-based lubes may make the extra-soft silicone tacky and gross.

Alternatives to the LELO DOT

I loved the LELO DOT for its precise ability to target areas. But if that’s not your cup of tea, check out some of these alternatives:

LELO SONA 2 Cruise

Sometimes, I feel a bit greedier and quite impatient. At times like that, I pull out my LELO SONA 2 Cruise because it gives me what I need. It’s a clit sucker with unique technology that unleashes more power when you press it hard against your body.

Lelo Sona 2 Cruise

It’s also got a larger mouth to cup your clitoris generously. As you know, the clitoris is very sensitive, so like all good clit suckers, the LELO SONA 2 Cruise creates pulses and vibrations to bring you pleasure without making direct contact with the clitoris.

You can read our review of the LELO SONA 2 Cruise here.

Zumio Xena

Suppose you find the LELO DOT expensive but want to try an elliptical clitoral vibrator. The Zumio Xena is a cheaper alternative (currently retailing on the official website for $108). With the LELO DOT, you do get what you pay for.

The Zumio Xena doesn’t have the same unique design as the LELO DOT, but it does have a flexible stem tip for more precise stimulation, and like the LELO DOT, it offers eight speeds.

Lovense Hyphy

Want the best of both worlds? Then you’ll want to try the Lovense Hyphy, a 2-in-1 toy. On one end, you have a G-spot vibrator; on the other, you get a precise tip to stimulate the clitoris.

Lovense Hyphy with the three interchangeable heads.

What’s unique about the Lovense Hyphy is that it comes with three nubs which allow you to customize the precision tip – choose between a standard round nub, switch to a “claw” shaped nub for hugging the clit, or put on the “tongue” numb to recreate the feeling of oral sex. If that sounds good, it’s because it IS! You can read our Lovense Hyphy review here.
