A current trend in sex tech? The bigger, the better. Take the wide mouths on new-release clit suckers as proof, designed to stimulate more of your erogenous zone then ever before. But if the LELO DOT is anything to go by, the sexual wellness powerhouse – who also released the LELO Sona and LELO Gigi 2 – is moving in the opposite direction. Yep: its pinpoint vibrator has, to date, the brand’s teeny-tiniest head of all.
The intention? To create ‘a completely new and unique sensation, reinventing orgasms as we know them’ – through its revolutionary elliptical motion, easy-to-handle loop design and flat-tipped pinpoint wand. And it seems fans haven’t been left wanting, with one labelling it ‘spicy’ and another suggesting it might be ‘too good.’ Interested? Us too.
So, in the name of research — and perhaps a mood-boosting, stress-relieving orgasm en route — I tried and tested the vibrator’s every mode. After all, how else will you know which best sex toys are actually worth your hard-earned cash? Stay tuned for a rundown of its key characteristics, answers to your FAQs and my honest verdict of LELO’s pinpoint vibrator.

LELO Dot Vibrator, at a glance:
So it might look more like a thermometer or a box cutter – the interesting observation of one of my GLAMOUR neighbours — but this raindrop-shaped sex toy is primed for the solo pursuit of pleasure. The flat tipped-end of the single arm has been designed to send intense vibrations to one spot, whether that be your clitoris, nipple or inner thigh. But LELO has added some other unique features, including that loop handle, which aids greater control, whatever position you choose to use it in.
However, it’s the revolutionary elliptical motion — think like a figure of eight — that had us really excited. Rather than a constant buzz, it delivers a sweeping sensation, something like small waves of pleasure hitting your sensitive spots over and over. In terms of controlling the luxury sex toy, it’s easy and intuitive, thanks to the three button control panel. Simply hold down the centre of the three to turn it before using the ‘+’ and ‘—’ to tailor the intensity. Then, head back to the middle to power down.
How we tested the LELO DOT Vibrator:
They say you shouldn’t take your work home with you, but on this occasion, it felt apt. Yep, I personally trialled the clit vibrator, both on my own and with my male partner, on various occasions. This involved lining the tip with water-based lube — currently, I’m working through a tube of the Smile Makers Generous Gel — before experimenting with different modes and angles while in various sex positions. Water-based is best lubricant to limit friction when solo-pleasuring with silicone sex toys. Want to stay loyal? You could also stick with LELO’s Personal Moisturizer.
While enjoying the gentle laps of pleasure, I considered its design, dimensions, ease of use, battery life, noise levels and overall value for money. But, because we’re all different in terms of our anatomies and sexual tastes, I also consulted various online reviews for pros and cons to consider.
