It’s Lelo’s comeback once again, with the Lelo Ina 3 rabbit! Indeed, lately, Lelo has decided to review some versions of their products, in order to improve them compared to the previous versions. You may have seen the review of the Smart Wand 2 Large, the Sona 2, the Sona 2 Cruise or the Soraya 2. But Lelo has also released new products, like the Lelo Enigma or the Lelo Sila, not to mention the F1s masturbator! And that’s not all, because other new products that we haven’t reviewed yet will be added soon.
But this time, Lelo returns to one of its flagship models, its rabbit vibrator which is back in its third version! What is new compared to the Lelo Ina 2? Does it still manage to compete with the other rabbits on the market? All these questions will have to be answered! And that is one of the reasons why we are here today. Our mission, if you accept it, will be to review the Lelo Ina 3 to convince you to give in to temptation. Still, the product has to be up to the task! Here is our review of the Lelo Ina 3 vibrator!
Lelo Ina 3 packaging
Table of Contents
No surprises with Lelo, since we have the usual black and cardboard box with a window on the front to see the product without opening the box. Then we simply have the Lelo logo in gold and the name of the product and its main function. It’s sober and effective, in any case, it works since it has been like this for years. On the back we have a presentation of the main technical elements so we know what it offers.
Once the box is opened, we discover the Lelo Ina 3, in its foam mold, with a compartment on the side that contains Lelo’s proprietary charging cable, a small manual that doesn’t contain much, a satin storage pouch and a warranty card. Do we still get a sample of lubricant as a gift? Yes, it’s always there. Even though Lelo doesn’t mention it in its product sheet, it is still part of the packaging!
Lelo Ina 3 physical details
First thing to tell you, this is a rabbit type vibrator, which consists of a vaginal shaft, a clitoral shaft and a handle! The winning combo of this type of vibrator. We can see that the stimulating part is separated from the controls, on the one hand, by the change of colors, but also the change of material. On the handle, we have 4 buttons, “+”, “-“, “up” and “down”.
At the bottom of the Ina 3, we have a silicone tab, which can be unclipped to reach the place where you need to plug in the charging cable to recharge the internal battery. We also find the logo of Lelo, at the top of the handle and we can see that the vaginal head is curved to reach the G-spot. In short, it’s a rabbit, which looks like other rabbits, it’s normal, it’s the same principle every time, more or less well done.
Ina 3 size
What can I tell you about its size? It is a medium-sized rabbit with 19.8 cm (7.79″) of total length for 11 cm (4.33″) of insertable length. On the side of the insertable part, we can see that the bulb is 3,7 cm (1.45″) in diameter. We can also see that the clitoral shaft measures 6 cm (2.36″) in length with 2.2 cm (0.86″) in width, which is pretty good. It is thus a rabbit of average size, usual one could say. This is different from the We-Vibe Nova 2, which is 21.7 cm (8.54″) long with 12.7 cm (5″) insertable. The insertable diameter of the Ina 3 is on the other hand smaller than on the Nova 2, which displays only 3,9 cm (1.53″) whereas the Ina 3 is 3,7 cm (1.45″). Well, it’s not a big difference either.
Other details
To finish on this part, you should already know that the Ina 3 by Lelo is available in three colors! The first one is the “Coral” version which is not our favorite, but it is the version we received! It’s a surprise every time because we never ask for a specific color, only for some products that we can customize. But there is also a “Seafoam” version (light blue) and a “Seaweed” version (light green). And finally, in terms of its weight, the Lelo Ina 3 weighs only 150 grams, which is quite light!
Lelo Ina 3 materials
It is true that we can’t say that Lelo’s silicone is not of high quality! This is what makes them so famous. The silicone is really soft, does not catch dust (well, a little bit anyway), rather matte and as always, healthy for the body. It does not contain phthalates or latex, it is really a quality silicone. And for the handle, we have ABS plastic, a bit shiny, which is also healthy for the body.
Lelo Ina 3 use
Now we will see how to use this vibrator from Lelo in its third version! There won’t be many changes from the previous versions, but if this is your first model, this part might interest you! Here’s what’s interesting to know about Lelo Ina 3!
How do I charge the Lelo Ina 3?
As always, before using a sextoy, you’ll need to take care to charge the battery fully! You have a Lelo proprietary USB charging cable, which you need to connect to the Ina 3’s ass, by lifting the protective silicone tab, then plug one part into it and the other part into a powered USB port or AC adapter. Then, you will have to wait 2 hours to charge it completely.
When it is charging, the Ina 3 will flash to let you know what it is doing. When the lights are steady, the battery is fully charged. And when the battery runs out of power, the LED will flash to let you know. You should know that the autonomy of this vibrator is 2 hours, with a standby time of 90 days, before it discharges completely.
How to handle it?
Just like other Lelo models like the Liv 2 or the Gigi 2, the Ina 3 uses again the same 4 button interface system. So you have a button with an up arrow, another with a down arrow, then a “+” button and a “-” button. The first thing to do, once the charging is done, is to unlock the Ina 3 by pressing the “+” and “-” buttons at the same time for 3 seconds. The light will come on to let you know that it is active. To lock it, you will need to do the same procedure.
Then, to turn it on, just press the “+” button and by pressing the same button again, you will increase the power of the vibrations. To change the mode, you can use the button with the up or down arrow, to advance or return to a vibration mode. If you press the “-” button, you will reduce the vibration intensity of the current mode. And finally, once you are done playing with it, you can press the “-” button for 2 seconds to turn it off.
What modes of vibration are present?
The Ina 3 from Lelo has 10 vibration modes! That’s 2 additional modes that we have between the second model and this third model. We have a constant stimulation mode for the vaginal and clitoral part. But also a mode of stimulation only vaginal, but also only clitoral. After, there are modes of asynchronous or synchronous pulsations between the vaginal and the clitoral shaft. For example, we have a mode with a strong vibration of the vaginal part and weak of the clitoral part. Another one, which does the opposite or another one which goes up on the vaginal side, with jerks on the clitoral side.
There is also a mode where the vibrations gradually rise in intensity at the vaginal shaft and descend on the clitoral side before reversing the roles. But also modes that use waves and even a mode that seems to be more random than the others. Again, it’s a shame that Lelo no longer offers a diagram on the vibrating modes it uses unlike other players in the market.
Which lubricant to choose with ?
You probably know as well as we do, when you have a silicone sextoy, in order to ensure seamless compatibility, you will need to use water-based lubricant. At least, if you have the need. This is by no means a requirement. But if you do, be sure to check that it is a water-based lubricant. If you would like to have some advice, you can contact us!
How to clean it?
As the Lelo Ina 3 is waterproof, it will not be very difficult to clean it properly! A trip to the sink with warm water and mild soap will be enough to make it beautiful. You can also use a sextoy cleaner if you prefer to do so. Then air dry it after rubbing it a bit with a soft cloth for the last traces of water.
Lelo Ina 3 efficiency
With 30% more power, a higher intensity range and better autonomy, logically, this Lelo Ina 3 should be much better than the first and second model. We can’t really compare this third model with the first two, as we never had the opportunity to review them. The only model reviewed on the site is the Lelo Ina Wave and the Ina Wave 2. However, we will still be able to compare it to other very good vibrators of this kind to see if this model holds the road and its promises! Here is our opinion on the Lelo Ina 3!
Ergonomics and grip
Between the Ina 3 and the Ina Wave 2, we can say that it is the same, except for the controls part, which is not the same. However, we also have 4 buttons at our disposal. I must say that we prefer the silicone of the Ina Wave 2 at the handle than the ABS plastic. The latter slips a little compared to the silicone. Nothing really disturbing either, but it is true that we get a better grip with the silicone handle.
Concerning the control buttons, they are a bit “old fashioned”, but the rabbit is still easy to control. You can even keep the “+” or “-” button pressed, to increase or decrease the intensity of the vibrations without pressing it every time. It is true that we could have had the control system of the Soraya 2, with its looping system to have a more recent side. For the insertion, it is relatively simple, even if I must say that the placement of the clitoral rod will depend on your morphology. It is true that with little flexibility of this rod, it can be difficult to keep contact with the clitoris. This rod again lacks flexibility, especially like that of the We-Vibe Nova 2.
You can force this rod to bend a little, but it is not as much as you would like. Depending on the placement, you can get the vaginal part and the clitoral part to match, but it is possible to end up with the clitoris a bit crushed, which pleases some users and less so others. You get a fairly present pressure, which again, is appreciated according to the users.
Vibration powers and modes
In terms of modes and power, it is true that we have 30% more power. Here, it is the same observation as on the Ina Wave 2 compared to the first model, it is really necessary to make an effort to feel this difference. It is really not very perceptible. The first level of intensity is relatively soft, but it is true that while going up to the last one, the vibrations become really strong. We lose in quality however, as soon as we go up to level 5 or 6, the vibrations become more surface.
On the other hand, the vibrations are powerful enough to obtain an orgasm. Each part has its own engine, but with vaginal vibrations more interesting than the one for the clitoris. In short, there is something to do between the levels of intensity and the available modes.
Vaginal and clitoral stimulation
During our tries, we tested the Ina 3 several times and here is what we can tell you about it! When I tested it with Kitty, I started by stimulating her clitoris with the insertable part, as well as her whole vulva to make it flow slowly in order to be well lubricated and by alternating with a cunnilingus. On the first 3 levels, we have a relatively acceptable power, enough to take pleasure in it. Then, afterwards, I pushed the Ina 3 in order to have a double stimulation for Kitty.
According to her, there are very nice modes, especially those that alternate vaginal and clitoral stimulation. Concerning the vaginal part, once well placed, it stimulates the G-spot quite well. The vaginal stem being rigid, one can put pressure on the G-spot notably by leverage (but a little delicate compared to the Cha-Cha-Cha notably, which facilitates this movement enormously) but also in back and forth which are stimulating.
This is what I did to Kitty, once she was very excited, by going back and forth, only with the vaginal shaft, which made Kitty sink into the bed. And by the way, while doing back and forth, it’s true that the clitoral part doesn’t stay in contact with the clitoris, unless you do very small movements, which is less interesting.
Lelo Ina 3 final thoughts
To conclude, is the Ina 3 from Lelo worth your attention! Clearly, if you already have the Ina 2, there is no need to upgrade to the third model, there are too few changes. If you have the first model of the Ina, yes, the change will be more interesting. If you already have a Soraya 2, stick with it! It is a good product, but it is true that its lack of flexibility can put off, especially if you already have a We-Vibe Nova 2 for example. Powerful, orgasmic, it is a certainty, but not from there to pass from a model 2 to 3, it is certain.
