LELO, the creators of groundbreaking pleasure products such as the recent SONA Cruise, released SORAYA nearly 10 years ago. It was a sell-out hit everywhere it appeared, and may have been the first vibe ever widely known by its actual name (with the possible exception of ‘The Rabbit’ in Sex and the City, but that wasn’t really it’s name).

In the strictest sense of the term, SORAYA is a ‘rabbit vibe’, with a clitoral stimulator attached to the side of the shaft. But the similarities are superficial. Most rabbit vibes are made from some form of jelly rubber variant, and are often soft and noisy, with rotating beads in the shaft. SORAYA is a different animal altogether.

Say hello to SORAYA…

LELO is famed for its classy approach to design and aesthetics. Everything is about the experience, the atmosphere, and the ritual of receiving a luxury sex toy, undressing it and using it. That’s true of SORAYA, above and beyond all other LELO products, thanks to its long, flowing lines and beautiful curves.

SORAYA is almost ornamental in its sweeping form. It looks and feels like a premium object, with sufficient weight and metallic detailing to complement the firm, smooth silicone.

At nearly nine inches in total length (about 6.5 inches of insertable length), SORAYA is a substantial pleasure product. But the real trick is not in the length of the shaft, but in the width. It tapers from a thin base into a thicker, rounded tip. It’s a very fulfilling sensation, both for those who want a bigger vibe AND for those only just upgrading from their first or second vibes.

A Heavenly Body

SORAYA’s silicone body is stiff and firm. This means that the powerful vibrations are transmitted more efficiently into your body through the silky silicone. That’s a boring way of saying it’s much, much more intense at its highest settings.

The SORAYA is fully waterproof, which means you can safely use it in the bath, and it is basically whisper quiet too. That’s where it can really come into its own: when it is wet, warm, and slippery. Clean body – dirty mind.

It’s USB-rechargeable for convenience, and a two-hour charge will give you about fours of play. That’s pretty good by sex toy standards, and you’ll never have to raid the remote ever again.

Ceiling Squealing

The vibrations aren’t rumbly, nor are they buzzy. They’re something in between, a blend of both. It seems to emit sensation everywhere all at once, and when it’s inside of you, you can’t quite pinpoint where and why it feels so good, as you can with single-motor G-spot vibes. It’s a unique feeling, it’s more like an energy than a vibration. It may sound a bit abstract, but it can be hard to describe. All you need to know is that it’s incredible.

On its very highest setting, some people might find it overwhelming, but many enjoy it. While there’s a setting for every person, it’s the power people who will really get the most out of SORAYA. It has two separate motors, one near the tip and one in the flexible clit stimulator, which bends to suit your anatomy while keeping pressure applied. When you find that perfect position, when the tip is massaging your G-spot and the other motor is gently pushing against your clit, it will curl your toes, cross your eyes and make you scream at the ceiling.

So there you have it: LELO’s SORAYA. An almost spiritual sex toy experience.
