When someone asks me to recommend an erotic toy, I always ask this question: minimalist or maximalist? And I’m not referring to the design, but rather the type of stimulation.
There are options I call “minimalist,” designed to stimulate one pleasure zone at a time (like external massagers for the clitoris or dildos for the G-spot), and also “maximalist” ones that stimulate several areas simultaneously. It’s a matter of personal preference, and it’s no coincidence that two of the most enduring models over time have been the classic rabbit, which simultaneously stimulates the clitoris and the G-spot, or the Magic Wand, which focuses intensely on the clitoris.
The ENIGMA Collection
According to the dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy, an enigma is a “reality, event, or behavior that cannot be fully understood or that is difficult to interpret or comprehend.” And I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the shape of LELO’s Enigma toys resembles a question mark.
Our pleasure, the pleasure of those of us with vulvas, has been a mystery for centuries. It’s not that there weren’t women who tried to reclaim it, but they were ignored or silenced by history. Even today, older generations are still discovering the clitoris, that organ whose sole function is to give us pleasure.
But the enigma, the question, the mystery is getting closer to being solved. More and more of us are embracing self-pleasure to know ourselves, explore, and arouse ourselves. Little by little, we unravel the threads that form it, the triggers that activate it, and the catalysts that drive orgasms. For me, the Enigma line has always been another way to connect the clues and experience pleasure from its origin to its culmination.
The Concept
The goal of the Enigma line is to provide us with a maximalist and immersive pleasure experience. It’s ideal for those who are already familiar with erotic toys and want to take it a step further, exploring the hidden facets of their pleasure—the nooks that remain undiscovered.
The Enigma toys share a similar concept to that of rabbit models: internal and external stimulation, a powerful and all-encompassing combination for those of us who enjoy abundance, but with a unique twist.
The Design
The three Enigma models are very similar, making it hard to tell them apart at first glance. Their question-mark shape is composed of two ends: the external and the internal.
The external end is identical to LELO’s bestseller, the Sona 2 Cruise, a sonic wave stimulator. The internal end features an arm whose functionalities vary depending on the model. It’s curved, with flat edges, and perfectly adapts to the vulva’s anatomy. The tip is rounded to ease insertion and gently stimulate the G-spot. Additionally, it has optimal flexibility to make the necessary adjustments once it’s in place.
Advantages
One of the biggest advantages of this type of toy is that it’s designed to remain in place while still stimulating the inside of the vagina. This eliminates the need for thrusting, which can sometimes cause excessive friction at the vulva’s entrance.
This feature is especially beneficial for those who may experience discomfort due to a medical condition, dryness caused by treatments (hormonal or otherwise), or life stages that result in reduced estrogen levels (such as menopause or breastfeeding). The toy is inserted at the beginning and removed at the end, making the experience potentially more pleasurable and less uncomfortable.
All models have the same insertable length of 14 centimeters and a very similar weight—the difference is imperceptible when held in your hands.
The Finish
Like all LELO toys, the three Enigma models are crafted from high-quality silicone that feels incredibly soft and pleasant against the skin. They also feature ABS and a curved plate with the LELO logo. For the first time in the brand’s product line, this plate has a mirror-like finish with a subtle gradient, making the stimulator a stunning piece.
In the case of the Enigma and Enigma Cruise, this plate is glossy, while in the Enigma Wave and Enigma Double Sonic, it has been given a matte finish.
Stimulation
On one hand, as mentioned earlier, the Enigma models provide external stimulation identical to that of the Sona 2 Cruise, thanks to Sensonic technology. This means they use sonic waves rather than direct contact with the skin. They feature a deep nozzle that adapts to clitorises of various shapes and sizes, offering intense stimulation.
On the other hand, the internal arm is what sets the three Enigma models apart. While they are almost identical in shape, their functionalities differ:
- Enigma or Enigma Cruise: The internal arm uses vibration to stimulate the G-spot, perfectly complementing the sonic waves that stimulate the clitoris.
- Enigma Wave: The internal arm offers two functionalities—vibration and motion. Using Wave Motion technology, it moves sinuously inside, similar to other LELO toys like the Soraya Wave or Ina Wave. It has three motors in total, combining three different types of stimulation for a comprehensive experience.
- Enigma Double Sonic: The internal arm combines vibration with DeepSonic technology, which creates gentle tapping motions to stimulate the highly pleasurable A-spot, located behind the G-spot. It also offers three different types of stimulation for an immersive experience.
Functionalities
All Enigma models feature Sensonic technology for external stimulation, and with the exception of the original Enigma, they also include Cruise Control. This ensures that when the toy is pressed closer to the body, it doesn’t lose intensity; instead, it increases, allowing you to play with the pressure itself. Additionally, each Enigma incorporates another technology tailored to its primary functionality in the internal arm, such as sinuous motion or tapping for A-spot stimulation.
All three models come with 8 levels of stimulation, combining different modes and intensities that can be adjusted according to your sensitivity or desired power level. Some levels allow you to use the functionalities independently. As an added safety feature, LELO’s latest toys now have an automatic shut-off after 20 minutes to prevent improper use.
The Enigma Double Sonic, the latest model, has an additional feature: it can connect to the LELO app on your phone. Once paired, you’ll gain access to two additional modes: “Finish Me Off” and “Out of Control”.
The three models are rechargeable via a USB cable included in the box and are also 100% waterproof, so you can take them into the bathtub or shower to enjoy under the water.
How To Use ENIGMA
The Enigma toys feature the Insignia interface, which you’ll recognize from other toys by the brand. There are three buttons to control the different functions: +, –, and ().
- To turn on: press the + or () button once
- To turn off: press the () button or both + and – buttons at the same time for a few seconds
- To change modes: press the () button once
- To increase or decrease intensity: press + or – respectively, once
Packaging
LELO also seduces us with its classic packaging, an elegant case with a transparent window that allows us to see the toy we’re about to enjoy. The texture of the black box stimulates our sense of touch, and the contrast between black and gold delights the eyes. The only difference is that the boxes for the first models, Enigma and Enigma Cruise, are slightly larger.
ENIGMA Tips
Tip 1: Use plenty of lubricant.
You can use any water-based lubricant you like, but I recommend one with a medium texture, somewhere between thin and thick. This way, you can apply it to the tip of the internal arm and insert the toy gradually without it slipping too much. Also, use a small amount of lubricant for the clitoris: the sonic stimulation will be much more interesting.
Tip 2: Turn on the toy before inserting it.
Although the brand recommends turning it on once it’s inside, I prefer doing it the other way around. To avoid being “penetrated cold,” I turn it on and use the internal arm to stimulate my clitoris and the lips of my vulva first. When I’m more aroused and lubricated, I position it and, with the vibration-only mode on Wave and Double Sonic, I insert it slowly, taking advantage of the vibration to stimulate the nerve endings as it enters. Finally, I adjust it and choose the mode I want.
The three Enigma models, although almost identical in appearance, have three distinct missions and stimulate in a particular way. This line is perfect for you if you’re looking for a toy that allows you to enjoy both internal and external stimulation.
You can also decide how the pleasure will reach your G-spot: vibration with Enigma or Enigma Cruise, sinuous waves with Enigma Wave, and small taps on your A-zone with Enigma Double Sonic. Any of them will make you surrender to the most comprehensive and absolute orgasms and finally help you find the answer to your own pleasure.
