The Lelo Soraya Anal Beads Massager: Luxury, Pleasure, and an Honest Price Cut

Hey, it’s Sean and Sophie here from Lovedo! We’re always trying out new products — because we love sex toys and we’re passionate about helping our customers find the best ones for them. Over the next few months, we’ll be reviewing a whole range of toys we’ve personally tested — sharing the good, the bad, and everything in between.

Now, we all know Lelo is a high-end brand in the sex toy world. Their toys are famous for their premium design, luxury packaging, and (let’s be honest) premium prices too. The manufacturer’s RRP for the Lelo Soraya Anal Beads Massager is £199, and we’ve seen it listed for that — and even more — in plenty of places. We’d been selling it at £188, but after trying it ourselves, we’ve knocked £20 off and brought it down to £168 — because pleasure shouldn’t have to wait for payday.

We decided to find out for ourselves. And while it’s definitely a well-made product, we came away with some honest thoughts — about the design, the performance, and whether it’s really worth that price tag.

Let’s dive into the details — because when it comes to sex toys, real reviews matter. No fluff, no sugar-coating — just a genuine take on how it feels, what we liked, and what we didn’t.




💜 Packaging and First Impressions

Let’s be honest — unboxing a sex toy is all part of the excitement, and with a premium brand like Lelo, you expect a certain level of luxury and care right from the start.

The Lelo Soraya Anal Beads Massager comes in a sleek, minimalist box with clean branding — nothing over the top, but stylish in a subtle way. The outer box isn’t magnetic, but it slides off smoothly, revealing the product nestled inside. It’s got that understated, premium feel — not flashy, but quietly confident.

Inside, the toy is securely placed in a custom-moulded insert, alongside the charging cable, warranty card, and a sachet of Lelo’s personal moisturiser (a nice little touch). The inclusion of the warranty and guarantee cards definitely makes you feel like you’re buying from a brand that stands behind its products.

The 1-year warranty and 10-year guarantee give you peace of mind, especially if you’ve had other toys fail in the past (and let’s be real, we all have). It’s reassuring to know that if you’re making an investment like this, you’re covered. Let’s face it — if a toy actually lasts 10 years, it’s worth every penny.

You also get a Lelo-branded satin storage bag — handy for keeping the toy safe and discreet when it’s not in use. It’s a simple but thoughtful addition, and we always appreciate brands that include storage options with their toys.

That said, while the packaging feels good, it didn’t exactly blow us away for a product at this price point. We’ve seen more exciting unboxing experiences with other brands — even ones at a lower price. It’s a solid presentation that ticks all the boxes, but it doesn’t quite give you that wow moment.

We think it’s what’s inside the box that really does the talking.

🔥 How It Feels in Use

We’ve tried quite a few toys over the years, and let’s be honest — some of them look good but just don’t feel right once you’re actually using them. What stood out with the Lelo Soraya was how smooth and soft the silicone felt straight out the box. It’s got a flexible body, but still feels firm enough to hold its shape properly when in use.

What surprised us most was how easily it went in. No complaints at all — it slid in comfortably and she said it felt really smooth, especially compared to some others which can feel a bit sharp or awkward. And for anal toys, that’s a must — it needs to be an enjoyable experience from start to finish.

We always recommend teasing first, and that’s exactly what we did. A bit of massage around the area, getting things warmed up and relaxed. Then when the toy went in, it just felt right — no discomfort, no resistance, just a really pleasant entry.

The vibrations are strong, deep, and powerful — not buzzy. There are plenty of settings to cycle through too, and once it’s in, it really holds in place well. You get a kind of thrusting effect from the Bow-Motion technology (that’s Lelo’s thing where the beads move like a bow being pulled — subtle but effective). It gives you that thrusting sensation without actual thrusting, which makes it feel unique.

We’ve had toys in the past that were a nightmare to keep in place or just didn’t feel great. But this one? No such issue. It stayed in well, felt comfortable throughout, and the combination of shape, texture, and vibration modes really worked well together.

💷 Price & Value

So… let’s talk money. The RRP for the Lelo Soraya Anal Beads Massager is £199. We were originally selling it for £188, which already undercut most retailers. But after testing it ourselves and thinking about our customers, we decided to drop it by £20 — bringing it to £168 permanently.

Now don’t get us wrong — it’s a premium toy. You can feel the build quality, the power, the attention to detail. And it comes with a 1-year warranty and 10-year guarantee. But in today’s world, where everything’s getting more expensive, pleasure shouldn’t feel out of reach.

We know a lot of our customers are couples, or just people who want something reliable and high-quality — but not everyone can justify nearly £200 on a toy. We believe in making these products more accessible, and if a slight price drop helps someone treat their partner (or themselves), then we’re all for it.

And let’s be honest — my wife is worth every penny. I’d pay whatever it takes to make her happy, and I reckon most people feel the same about their partner. But the truth is, you shouldn’t have to think twice about treating yourself or someone you love because of the price tag.

We’ve seen this toy priced even higher elsewhere — over £200 in some places — so if you’ve been curious, now’s a really good time to grab it at a price that actually feels fair. 




💭 Final Thoughts

So, would we recommend the Lelo Soraya Anal Beads Massager? Yeah — we genuinely would. It’s smooth, powerful, and feels luxurious in use. The shape works beautifully, the Bow-Motion tech delivers, and the quality? Top tier.

It’s not the cheapest toy on the market, and we won’t pretend it is. But for those looking to invest in something special, this is one of the few toys we’ve tried that actually feels built to last. Add in the 10-year guarantee and Lelo’s trusted brand name, and it becomes a lot easier to justify the price — especially with the £20 discount we’ve added.

At the end of the day, your pleasure matters. Whether you’re buying this for yourself, or for your partner — they’re worth it. You’re worth it. And no one should have to delay their enjoyment just because of a price tag.

If you’ve been on the fence about it, this might be your sign. And if you want the full breakdown of what it’s like to use, how it performed, and our full uncensored take — you can read our full blog review above (or share it with someone who needs a nudge 😉).
