I both my Mimi JeJoue about 2 month ago, and loved it ever since, but lately i noticed that silicone "skin" kinda got loose over the hard shell ...
Kinda feels like there is an air bubble or something... Did anyone else here experienced anything like that with their Mimi?

I have a couple items from JeJoue, but not Mimi, and haven't had that problem. I would definitely contact JeJoue and see what they have to say about it.

The skin is not attached to the inner core and can become loosened with time. Mine is 6 months old and shows some wear, but nothing too bad.

Is it a huge issue? Does it keep you from enjoying the product?

I remember someone else having this same issue, but can't remember who. Though, if I remember correctly (big if) it seemed it was an issue with the toy heating up a bit during use, and then after it cooled back down the air bubble went away.

I'd contact Je Joue about it and see what they say.

Yeah, I'd either put in a support ticket or contact Je Joue.

Haven't had this problem with mine.

Mine has done that since I got it.

I cannot tell when it is in use at all. Once it cools down, the "skin" goes back to normal.

I figured it was just because it was warm and vibrating and it expanded a bit. I use mine for a decent amount of time so while it seemed kind of weird to me, it doesn't effect use and it cools down when I'm done.

I'm just going to keep an eye on it for now, but it seems fine.

Hope it isn't a big deal. I was looking forward to getting a MiMi this weekend but now I'm kinda worried about it.

So, I did a bit of poking around.

I think this might be an inevitable and harmless issue, based on what I'm finding.

Since the MiMi is waterproof, you have air sealed in the internal cavity.

The air expands with heat - the heat generated from use. Since the air cannot escape (or at least not fast enough), this exerts more pressure on the outer skin, causing it to expand.

I am not sure if I would call this a "flaw" or not.

You could sacrifice the waterproof design and solve the problem by letting the expanding air escape. Removing internal air seems tricky, I don't know all about the mechanical aspects, but it would at least cause a pressure imbalance the opposite way - the skin getting sucked IN.

Personally, I'd almost say to nix the airtightness and allow some circulation. You could allow the buttons to act as vents in some capacity and it would still be easy to clean.

Or, some of the MiMi might run hotter than others or too hot.

Just some guesses.

Well, some of you said here that toy gets hot and then, when cools it goes back to normal, but mine stays slightly loose,like i can press my finger against the shell and slide it against silicone - and at the end it will form slight "roll"....
I think i will be contacting JeJoue for an answer....

That make a lot of sense. It does not affect the performance of the toy, but still worries me...

Mine expands if it's been on awhile and goes back to normal when it cools off. So far, so good. Waterproof is a huge plus for use and maintenance!

Mine expanded after a few hot showers. It seems a little louder and a little weaker when expanded, but it tends to get taut again once it gets cool. It hasn't caused any real problems so I don't plan on contacting JeJoue. If it ever dies (not likely associated with this swelling problem since it's airtight) I do plan on purchasing another one.
