Mia - sex toy by LELO - review by Nerdy Nymphette

Mia is my new best friend. Unlike similarly sized pocket rocket vibrators that I've played with before, Mia manages to satisfy me both when I want more generalized sensation and when I want more targeted massage. Laying her against the length of my vulva and nestling her between my lips provides a delicious feeling. She packs a walloping punch for her discreet and diminutive size! The vibrations manage to travel the entire length of her body, not simply staying localized to the tip. That said, the ever so slightly rounded off tip sends out startlingly effective and more intense shockwaves, perfect for nipple stimulation or for pointing directly at my clitoris.

The multiple speeds and three interval patterns to choose from make for the perfect build up to a mind boggling crescendo. Combining the sensation of the interrupted vibrations with rapid movement of the vibrator back and forth across my clit comes surprising close to the feeling of being manually stimulated by my partner.

She is ideal both for use solo and during partner play. I've involved her in oral sex, vaginal sex, anal sex, and manual sex, during which she has lovingly attended to my nipples, clitoris, and vaginal opening. My partner tells me that it feel great when I tuck her under his balls during oral or intercourse. She's game for whatever! Be wary of using her on or near your backdoor, though; she has no flared base and, because of her USB rechargablity, isn't the easiest to most thoroughly sanitize.

Mia's hard plastic shell is delightfully smooth. When ever-so-slightly lubricated, she can glide like a figure skater at the IceCapades. The hard plastic can be a touch unforgiving when pressed a little too hard against a particularly sensitive area such as the clitoris; this is immediately detectable and resolvable though.

Mia's shaft is seamless. The only bit to be a smidge wary of is the juncture where the cap fits over the USB port. So long as you've put the cap on tight enough, the gap is undetectable.

Mia's form is brilliant. She masquerades effortlessly as a USB port without making you feel like you're diddling yourself with the contents of your hard drive. Happily, though she's sleek, sexy, and virtually invisible to the uninformed viewer. I managed to forget and leave mine plugged into my computer during a visit from my parents, who remained (thankfully) entirely unaware.

She's pocket sized, perfectly disguisable as a tech accessory, and impossibly quiet, making her the perfect toy for those with roommates, thin walls, or nosy parents. I've used it while my partner works at his desk just feet away and even he hasn't been able to detect it.

Changing the vibrations intensity or pattern is extremely easy. Mia comes equipped with a + and a - button, which let you ride a range of vibrations, and then select from a three increasingly quickly paced patterns of vibrating intervals. Tuning her off is as simple, hold down the - for a few seconds. As I mentioned earlier, she's stealthy; even the highest setting, she emits only a faintly detectable "bzzzz."

Another reason Mia's great in bed? She communicates! As she runs out of batteries, she will show a little red light underneath her shell. As she recharges, that light will flash, turn white when she's got a solid store of energy, and then cease flashing when fully charged. The process takes about 2 hours, not too bad for the 4-ish hours of use I get out of her afterward. The only complaint I have about her is minor. I have a MacBook and the profile of the computer is slim enough that I have trouble inserting Mia's USB port. I find that this is easy to mitigate, though, by either using the charging extension or placing my computer on top of a textbook while she charges.

Mia is extremely easy to care for. I find that, as long as I'm only using her vaginally or externally, wiping her down with toy sanitizer is typically enough to get her clean. I've found that, after use, it's a good idea to remove the cap and clean the ridge just under the juncture.

Because of her USB feature, I have been hesitant to use her around water or to use to much lube with her. She's so easy to maneuver that I've found at most I need a tiny dollop of water-based lube to get me started. It's the easiest to clean off anyway.

Mia came housed in packaging as subtle and sexy as she is. It served beautifully as a gift box and remains the home in which she hibernated. The box also housed extensive directions, a small satchel for storage, and a USB connector in case you didn't want to plug her in to your computer directly or if you're having the width compatibility issues I referenced earlier.
