MiMi - vibrator by Je Joue - review by Sam (aka Jul!a)

Which one would/did you choose!?!?

I chose black because my purple G-Ki was a really ugly shade of purple. I plan to buy another black MiMi (the new version) soon.

Mine is black. It reminded me of a river rock.

I'm confused, Could someone who knows give us the deets. I know some of these had/ have charging issues. Some skin bubbling problems. The third button? Is that a dedicated vibe pattern button.

I'm confused by the way the pages are set up. I'm worried that the ones on the Mimi page might not all be the new Mimi. Call me paranoid. The new Mimi has the 3rd button, which, like the Uma and Fifi is a dedicated pattern button to scroll through the patterns. No word yet on whether the bubbling problem is fixed or if the motor is any different/stronger. Since Fifi and Uma have the exact same charging system as the original Mimi, I'm sure the charging system on the new Mimi is identical as well but have no proof of this. I really want the new Mimi though. I've been saving up points and I'm almost there!

when is the new one going to be available

Hi All.

I got the Je Joue Mimi (original version) during the Valentine's day promo. It won't charge, though - the little red heart light just keeps blinking and blinking and never glows steady. I left it plugged in for 8 hours the first charging attempt, and 10 on the second attempt. I'm working on the third attempt to get it to charge fully as I type, but I somehow feel like it's not going to charge (again.) Has anyone else had this problem??

Call Eden or Je Joue.

That generally means you aren't getting a good connection between the plates on the charger and the toy. Have you tried "repositioning" either the charger cable or toy? Usually, you'll also hear a faint high pitched whine if they aren't connected properly (but some people can't hear it).

I gave Eden Fantasys' customer service a call on Monday just to ask when (and if) they'd be getting the new Mimi (with the same pattern button as the Uma and Fifi.) They are getting the new ones in, and they're currently expecting them to be there within the next few weeks. So...I'd bet by/around March. Which is really exciting. And it also makes me determined to hold out for the new one versus buying the current one. I'm hoping that they've fixed the bubbling up silicone problem with Mimi 2.0 (this is just what I've decided to call it, haha) because that's a good part of why I haven't gotten the current model.

Who's all going to get a new Mimi? Besides me, that is?

I can't wait to see what is better about it, I am so so excited.

Nice to know! I've been meaning to get the Mimi for awhile now. I guess I will just keep waiting until they get the new one in.

Eden ships pretty much Worldwide, with a few exceptions. Is there a thread that talks about the differences in electrical current, and what is required for successful charging in other countries.

I was hoping those from other countries would enter into this discussion and talk about the plug style differences and experience charging rechargeable toys, and what's required as well as other tips.

I don't have my Mimi charging cord with me right now, but I do know that the Uma can handle something between 100-240v. I would assume that the Mimi is the same way. This means that you should be able to charge it in a country that uses a higher voltage than the U.S. does without trouble.

You may, however, need to get a plug converter. You can pick up plug converters on Amazon for next to nothing. I just picked up a few U.S. to U.K. plug converters for about $3.00 a piece.

My cameras charge overseas without issue, you just have to look at the charger to see if it's voltage compatible.

Hi there!

I recently bought a MiMi and I have a few problems that I need to figure out before I try to decide whether to return for a replacement or for a refund...

I bought this MiMi from another vendor (who will remain unnamed, because I'm not happy with them-- reminder to only order from Eden). I got it on SUPER sale (which is why I bought from them), and it arrived with a bubble in the silicone skin. As some have mentioned elsewhere in the forums, this sometimes happens when it is warm. In the case of mine, if it is even room temp this bubble happens...when it sits on the windowsill, the bubble goes away. I was thinking about returning it, but this company will make me pay for the return shipping to CANADA, so I figured it worthwhile to take into account a few more considerations before making any moves. Here are my questions:

1) Is this worth paying to return it if there's a likely possibility that this bubble could happen again?
2) I also notice a whirring/rattling on the lowest setting of vibration. Listening to the video reviews, it seems like this may just be standard... but I'd love to hear from those who have it.
3) I hear there's a new MiMi coming out with the pattern button that the Uma has... I would enjoy this feature! Should I just return the one I bought and wait for the new one to come out and order that instead? There is quite a different price between the MiMi I purchased and (likely) the one I would buy with the patterns, so I want to make sure it'd really be worth it. I don't have enough Edenpoints or GCs to buy the new one at an equal price to the MiMi I bought elsewhere...

Sorry, all... I know this is a lot, but if anyone has any advice, I'd really appreciate it!! I'm not into talking about vibrator options with my friends at this point, so the community is my best resource. Thanks in advance!!

My MiMi never has any problems with developing an air bubble. I've used it for an hour straight and it got quite warm but the silicone never bubbled. I have heard others mention that though, and I find it very strange. So it's not something normal that happens with all of them.

I don't notice a whirring or rattling with my MiMi. My Uma has a bit of a rattle to it, but my MiMi doesn't.

I don't think it's worth spending any more money to get the pattern button. The old MiMi still has the patterns, you just have to scroll through the speeds to get to them. To me it makes zero difference whether there's a separate button or not. I guess that might be a benefit for some people though, especially if you were someone who absolutely loved patterns.

No bubbles on mine, but the lowest setting does kinda sound like a rattling. I just assumed it was because the lowest setting was so weak!

I think I would wait for the new version myself.

So...Je Joue updated the Mimi with the fancy new pattern button. And I've been waiting Anxiously for Eden to get it...and it sounds like they'll be getting it in roughly two weeks! I'm so excited!

But this means I have to restrain myself from getting the current one with Eden's Valentine's Day sale...bleh. I suppose I'll live.

I wonder if that means the price is going to be more also? I'm sure it will be..I've been saving and racking up points for this one for a while. I can't wait to see the new MiMi!

I hadn't heard about this. Great that they are adding it, as button issues seems to be the complaint most seen on this.

I am just wondering, I think this will ease my husband into the idea of using a vibrator during sex. He doesn't like anything penis shaped, for whatever reason. Is MiMi the way to go?

I think the Mimi is easy to use during couples play, personally. The only problem with it is that the buttons can take some getting used to.

My boyfriend also doesn't like anything phallic or 'bigger than he is.' The buttons do take a bit or getting used to, but I think that it is a good way to start off using toys. Have you spoken to him about it or are you going to surprise him? ;)

Has anyone tried both of these? I would appreciate the comparison.

My partner has both. You could try messaging her - link

No. But I've been wanting Siri. I've read reviews religiously of both as well as questioned friends that own one of the two. I've heard very little that makes me want Mimi. I keep hearing that it's weak so the only people who Mimi might be perfect for are those that like weak vibrations. Personally, if I'm gonna pay that much for a tiny vibrator, it's going to get me off every single time I use it just like most of my $30 toys do. Siri though, I'm loving the way it sounds!

It's specs are:

Length:
3 1/4"
Circumference:
5"
Diameter:
2"
Width:
2"

I'd say it's about the size of a mac mouse.

Thanks!

It's big but at least it seems ergonomic. Your hand prolly won't cramp when using it.

I'd love to try this but I'd also love to get feedback first. What do you guys think?

this it´s just awesome

There are lots of reviews on the mimi and other similar products. I'd check all of them out.

It's seems like a pretty straight forward waterproof clit vibe, and I'm pretty sure it's one of the less expensive "luxury" ones. The nicest non-waterproof version out there is probably the Siri by Lelo. JJ makes three waterproof vibes that you could compare it to as well, the form 2, form 3 and form 4. The form 4 can also be inserted as well as used on the clit. Pretty sure all of the JJ's are more expensive though.

As for the Mimi, i haven't tried it for myself. I've heard mixed reviews on exactly how strong the vibration is. Naturally different people consider different things "super strong." If your ideal is level "high" on the hitachi, then your opinion of what's "way too weak" will be very different than someone who thinks the Gigi is as much oomph as you'd ever want or need.

I'd look for reviews that talk about that specifically, and see if you can't find people who are familiar with the toys you have used and like to see if the Mimi offers what you're looking for.

I'm on take 2 with the Mimi. The first time I received one, it worked for three or so days before the vibrations became noticeably weaker and the silicone 'bubbled' up and away from the vibrator.

My replacement just arrived in the mail. After fully charging it and using it for a 20m session, I found that the silicone had bubbled up like before. There's a distinct air pocket between the silicone and the vibrator.

Has anyone else had issues with this?

Half an hour later, it's sealed back up. I'm wondering if this is an overheating issue.

I haven't, and I've had mine for months. I don't think mine's ever been on for that long at once though. Maybe try another replacement?

It's almost exhausting reading review after review after review on the many different massagers that are available to us. My question is this after reading all these reviews in your honest opinion what is your favorite massager and why do you think this?

After ten years, my vote is still for the Eroscillator, especially now that they've come out with the Soft Finger attachment to go with it. I think the reason I may be so fond of it is because it oscillates rather than vibrates. Most vibrators (like the Hitachi Wand) make me go numb after a short period of time. I don't have that problem with the Eroscillator.

I really like the fact that it comes with an extra long power cord that I can discretely run behind my chest of drawers beside the bed, thereby keeping it plugged in for handy access. Because it's electric, I also never have to worry about charging it ahead of time or replacing batteries at inconvenient times.

I actually really love the one you have linked here, the Mimi.

I have had the MIMI since April, and it is now my favorite toy. My question about charging is this:
I attach the charger to the bottom of MIMI, making sure i match the pins correctly. I know it is correct and charging when MIMI starts to flash a blinking red light. According to the booklet, the red light is supposed to STOP blinking and stay on once it is fully charged. For some reason, mine never stops blinking. it just keeps blinking forever till i remove the charger from it. just how long is it supposed to take to get to fully charged? do i have a defective toy, even though it seems to work fine otherwise? does anyone else have the same experience? thanks so much.

I think the charge time is only supposed to be a few hours, but I normally plug mine in before bed and take them off the charger in the morning when they need to be recharged. I'm not entirely sure if you have a defective product, but if it's otherwise working properly, I wouldn't worry too much about it :)

Charging mine new out of box over the weekend, Mimi stopped blinking within about 50 minutes. I've only charged once so far.

As with any device, it's probably best to unplug as soon as the item charged. Wastes less electricity, among other things. Rechargeable may save batteries, but we still want to be eco responsible with the electricity (and our utility bills), right? :-)

I need to replace mine... stupid dog ate it :( Is it out of stock forever?

Have you submitted a support ticket or called customer service? They'd be able to give you a more definitive answer :)

Not forever!

The last update I have from the stock manager is that we should be receiving more over the next 1-2 business days.

The stock manager is following up with the supplier today as well. Should be another update soon!

I've used my Mimi less than a dozen times, followed the care instructions exactly, and suddenly it refuses to charge. The light doesn't come one when connected to the charger or anything. I'm near tears over the death of my favorite toy. ;( Has anyone else had this problem? For the price, I expected a longer lifespan.

First I have to ask the redundant question of "are you 100% positive the charging cord is plugged in right?"

Then I'm going to say that that isn't normal and shouldn't happen and if you bought it from here to submit a support ticket and try to get it exchanged.

Doesn't your hand cramp if it takes a bit longer to complete the job?

It's pretty easy to balance it in the palm of your hand, straddle it, or even fix it into place using some underwear (though the speed is pretty difficult to play with if you put it in underwear.)

Nope, not at all.

I'm wondering some details on color from anyone who has one.

First off: is the purple as red-toned as it looks? Does the charging portal show up as differently colored as it looks in the pictures?

Secondly: is the pink as blue-toned as it looks?

Third: How about the rose? In some pictures it looks vibrantly magenta, where in others it looks matte red. Which is closer to life?

I own the purple one and the charger and MiMi are different colors. The charging unit is a very violet purple. The MiMi itself is more of a dark grape color.

I have the rose, it looks like a dusty, pinkish-red. It's not as vibrantly colored as the picture, but it's still pretty. The charger looks like the same color as the small plastic panel around the buttons, it's a little brighter than the silicone, less dusty-looking.

Which is stronger? I see that Mimi got 5 Vrooms and Seed only got 4 Vrooms how accurate is this really?

I'm not sure but if I was going to choose one I'd get a Mimi. It looks awesome. =]

I'm struggling to decide too.

I am hoping someone out there has tried both the Eroscillator and the MiMI. I am not sure how I feel about the Eroscillator without trying the Eroscillator ultra soft finger tip attachment. I am debating whether to get the additional attachment for the Eroscillator or spend my money on the MiMi instead. Is it worth sinking more money into the Eroscillator or should I just go for the MiMi? Thanks all!

@Spring: No I actuall have not, but Lucky for you, my roommate has. She's just as addicted to toys as I am. She said she personally loves her MiMi over ANY other toy right now, but the Eroscillator has excellent pinpoint stimulation - only downside is that is has the potential to hurt your clit very bad. She and I both say that MiMi is the best buy. You'll probably end up throwing a lot of your toys away after buying this one.

Oh, and the Eroscillator is more silent than the MiMi, which tends to get a little loud on the highest levels.

My ex had the eroscillator, we used it just once and I loved it!

So, I read a few reviews and found that MiMi is a hard toy to get pinpoint stimulation with. It was very contradicting because others said the complete opposite. I've never used anything but a thin vibrator for clit stimulation, so this flat-ish toy is starting to worry me. Especially since I already purchased it!

Can someone let me know what area that the vibration is most intense? The tip, center, sides, etc? This would really help me out. I suppose I could always keep it as a good neck/back massager if it fails my clit, but I really wanted to use it for my sexy-time :( lol

It sounds like you just need to experiment a little to find what works for you, NOT what the reviews say.

The vibrations do seem to be focused more in the general tip area, but the whole thing vibrates. I would go with NarcissisticLust and experiment for yourself to see how it works best for you because that could be completely different than how it works best for me, or anybody else who might have reviewed it. On a side note, it is nice as a neck/back massager, so if it doesn't work as well as you'd hoped for your sexy time, go ahead and use it for back rubs.

Seriously.

You can set a product alert to email you when it is back in.

Thanks, I did like a month ago, seems like EF has problems restocking products? At least that's what I've read in the forums and in comments on other products, one comment I had read a customer waited for 5 months for a product. That just doesn't sit well with me, I really don't want to shop anywhere else but might not have a choice :@ It's just frustrating

Can't decide which one I want more, which is your favorite and why? Also curious about which has the least vibration going into your fingers/hand, Thanks!

oh god.

um.

shit.


well.
okay.

The MiMi made my hand vibrate less. And it has a better battery life. But the Form 2 has interesting vibrations because of the dual motor thing.

But I really enjoy them both, in different ways.

Good lord, don't make me pick.

lol, thanks for the reply. That's good to know that mimi is better on the vibrations going into your hand, that always bothers me... it's not a deal breaker tho. I had thought form 2 would be better about it because of how it looks thicker/rounder at the end. I had gotten Siri awhile back and liked her alot but she just wasnt strong enough and it sucks that shes not waterproof. Any suggestions on other toys are welcome =)

Hey, all! I recently sold my Hitachi to a friend, and bought a MiMi while it was on sale.
Now, I'm one of those girls with a clit o steel, and most of the time when I was close to orgasm I would flip the hitachi to high and then be able to orgasm.

Now, my question is... is the MiMi pretty strong? I'm not wanting something that's like the Hitachi's HIGH all the time, but something around the LOW setting on the hitachi (maybe a little higher) would be nice.
Thanks, guys!

I would like to know this answer as well, because I don't have either one, but want them both along with several others. I would like a very good comparison chart that would help me decide on the "perfect" one for me.

MiMi on its highest setting is MUCH weaker than the Magic Wand on its low setting. When I first started using MiMi I found that it wasn't strong enough for me. But its so convenient so I kept trying it. Now it is strong enough. There's hope for softening the clit o'steel.

I'm wondering how the vibrations of the MiMi compare to Je Joue's other product, the G-Ki. The reason why I ask is because I've tried the G-Ki but did not like the type of vibrations it had at all—too buzzy and high-pitched for my taste, although they are moderately strong.

I'm afraid that because they are the same brand, the vibrations might be the same. Anyone tried both and can compare? Also, does it get hot very quickly like the G-Ki?

I haven't tried the G-Ki, but I do have MiMi and I find the vibrations to be pretty rumbly. Not the deepest I have felt, but I definitely wouldn't describe them as buzzy. I'm also interested in seeing replies from anyone who has tried both, since I've been thinking about getting the G-Ki soon.

My fiancee and I find the vibrations of the MiMi to be pretty low-pitched. We have never tried the G-Ki before, though.

I love my mimi. It is an amazing vibrator. I was curious as far as cleaning, is it okay to clean it with toy wipes? I know it says soap and water is okay. I just wanted to be sure so I am not hurting my favorite toy :) Thanks so much.

Yes, toy wipes are ok to use with mimi. Just dry her well before you put her away.

Okay thanks so much! I just love her and don't want to damage her. I just wanted to make sure :) Thanks so much.

Is this comparable to the jimmyjane form 2 or form 3?

I chose MiMi over Form 2 or 3 for few reasons... The tone of MiMis vibration is a few notes lower than form which definitely gives it a deeper resonation. And if the $$$$ matters to you... MiMi is considerably less expensive.

Personally, I would say to avoid the form 2. I've had nothing but problems with it glitching, so won't recommend spending money on it.

How long does the charge last on this vibrator?

It should last few hours but based on functions used it could vary.

Ok thanks!
