Despite the quality of their construction, they\u2019re noticeably light, and that means you can either use them noisily in the bedroom, or you can slip them inside for some more adventurous pleasure wherever you go.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Insertable Length:<\/strong>\u00a09.6 cm (3.8 inches)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Circumference at Widest Point:<\/strong>\u00a03.8 cm (1.5 inches)<\/li>\n<li><strong>SenseMotion:<\/strong> Yes<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stimulation Modes:<\/strong> 8<\/li>\n<li><strong>Waterproof:<\/strong> Fully Submersible<\/li>\n<li><strong>Noise Level:<\/strong> Whisper<\/li>\n<li><strong>Remote Distance:<\/strong> 12 meters (39 feet)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rating for Beginners:<\/strong> 9\/10<\/li>\n<li><strong>Battery Life:<\/strong> 2 hours<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rechargeable:<\/strong> Yes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>LYLA 2<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/lyla-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20987 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Lyla2_cerise_pers2.jpg\" alt=\"LYLA 2 Bullet Vibrator\" width=\"260\" height=\"260\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>LYLA 2 is a powerful, quiet bullet-style vibe that also works as a remote control vibrating egg. It\u2019s a firm vibe designed to be used externally, or slipped inside for satisfying and discreet sensations with a partner, or hands-free solo pleasure. The gentle contours and the light weight ensure it stays perfectly in position at all times, comfortably and pleasurably.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Insertable Length:<\/strong>\u00a07.6 cm (3 inches)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Circumference at Widest Point:<\/strong>\u00a03.3 cm (1.3 inches)<\/li>\n<li><strong>SenseMotion:<\/strong> Yes<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stimulation Modes:<\/strong> 8<\/li>\n<li><strong>Waterproof:<\/strong> Fully Submersible<\/li>\n<li><strong>Noise Level:<\/strong> Whisper<\/li>\n<li><strong>Remote Distance:<\/strong> 12 meters (39 feet)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rating for Beginners:<\/strong> 10\/10<\/li>\n<li><strong>Battery Life:<\/strong> 2 hours<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rechargeable:<\/strong> Yes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The stats are pretty evenly matched, but we all know that it&#8217;s not the numbers that make pleasure products like these; it&#8217;s the purpose, and the sensations.<\/p>\n<p>For that reason, if you&#8217;ve never tried a remote control internal vibe before and you&#8217;re looking for an introduction to the toe-curling, lip-chewing pleasure these products can offer, we recommend the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com-lyla-2\">LYLA 2<\/a>.
