MiMi - discreet massager discontinued by Je Joue - review by Lilith Bealove

The Mimi is a ergonomic clitoral vibrator that can also be used to tease the nipples, breast, labia, the vaginal opening, and the anus, with care, of course! This toy can also be used for a general all over massage. With the strong vibrations and many different settings there are many ways one might call this little dream a stress reliever. Although the Mimi can be used for all these things, and probably much more then my imagination can conjure, she is best used for clitoral stimulation.

This toy is great for those who like low rumbling vibrations to those who like the more buzzy vibrations. This toy is a great addition to foreplay, masturbation, and intercourse. If you absolutely have to have bumps, veins, ridges, etc, you may want to look else where. But if you like different function settings and smooth texture, you might enjoy the Mimi. Those who enjoy pin point stimulation and easy to hold clitoral vibrators will love this toy. For everyone from those new to toys to those who have been using them for years, if you're looking for waterproof, rechargeable, and all things mentioned above, you are looking at the right toy!

Straight from the package the Mimi has a very slight, nearly undetectable clean smell when held right under the nose. It's not noticeable, unless you are really looking for it, and it's definitely nothing to complain about.

The Mimi is smooth and velvety with no drag, making this toy very nice to touch and slips wonderfully over the body. There is no give or bending to the Mimi, it is very strong and rigid. The smooth texture does not add any extra stimulation, but instead makes the Mimi easy to slip over your clit, nipples, or other body part you wish to massage. If you need raised texture to get off, you may want to consider another toy.

The Mimi's smooth stone like shape and small size (3.25 inches long, 5 inch circumference, and 2 inches across) makes it very ergonomic and a delight to hold and use. The thinner sides and tip are wonderful for pinpoint stimulation, and the broader sides are great for a wider range of vibrations. With my husband we found that on the rumbliest setting, using the broad side of the vibrator, the Mimi was great for penis and perineum massage. He also enjoyed the gentle rumble on his shoulders.

Because it does not look like a traditional vibrator and you'd have to pick it up to really know what it is, the Mimi blends in well with the everyday house hold, I am not suggesting you leave it laying around, but you could. Being small in size the Mimi would fit wonderfully in a toy box, night stand, panty drawer, or nearly any hiding spot you can think of.

Again, the Mimi's small size comes in handy! Because of the toy being so petite it would be very easy to travel with. The buttons are flush with the rest of the toy so you do not have to worry about the toy turning on it your purse or luggage. Because of the metal buttons, though, I would not suggest taking this toy though a metal detector.

To turn on the Mimi you hold down the plus (+) button, which is slightly raised, for two seconds, and to turn it off you hold down the minus (-) button, which is indented, for two seconds. You also control the vibration settings and functions by these two buttons. At first the buttons are a little hard to push, but after playing with it for a bit they become easier to use. Other then this controlling the toy is easy and requires minimal effort.

Turning the Mimi on you find the vibrations travel from tip to base, but they are strongest near the tip. On the lowest setting the Mimi is a soft rumble and on it's highest setting it is an orgasm inducing high buzz. The Mimi has five different speeds and five different functions. The functions are two different pulsing sensations, two different roller coaster type vibes, and a mixture of pulsing and roller coaster.
The pulsing is exactly what it sounds like, "Buzzz, pause, Buzzzz, pause." While the roller coaster setting starts out at a low rumble and slowly works it way up to a high buzzing, then quickly drops back down to that nice low rumble.

On the lowest setting the Mimi is a low one bee, but on it's highest setting it easy makes a three or four bee. This toy would not be good for those who have to have high vibrations and live with someone.

The Mimi is waterproof and does keeps it's strong vibrations under a steady stream, in the shower, and even completely submerged!!

The Mimi takes two hours to charge and provides two hours of play. The charger for the Mimi is magnetic and attaches to the plus and minus signs, if you try to attach the charger the wrong way it will reject the Mimi. If you attach your Mimi to the charger and hold it by the wire it seems like a strong connection between the two, but when you lay your down to leave it to charge the connection becomes weak and is easily disconnected. That being said, when you charge your Mimi make sure to do so on a flat surface and somewhere it won't be jostled.

The Mimi is 100% silicone, minus the control pad which is plastic and metal. The Mimi is also made of food-grade material, and is hypo-allergenic, latex free, non-porous, and phthalates free; all of these big words basically mean it is a very body safe material, actually it rates a 10 out of 10 on the EF rating system.

To wash the Mimi you can use mild soap and water or your favorite toy cleaner, but since it is an electric toy you should not boil it. This toy is very easy to clean because it is water proof, and you should be sure to clean it before and after each use. If you share toys be sure to wash between partners.

You should not store any silicone toys with other silicone toys. And you should not use silicone based lubes with silicone toys. The materials can bond and mess up your toy. If you are going to use a lube that has silicone in it please be sure to do a test spot near the base of your toy before completely slathering it up. Otherwise, please stick to water based lubes for the sake of your toy.

True to their word EF sent the Mimi in a plain brown box, but the actual packaging of the Mimi was a pretty dark purple cardboard sleeve with three pictures of the toy and a little information over a beautiful thick card board black box with white words saying "Je Joue" on top. The black box is tied shut with two silky black ribbons, pulling them open you find inside your Mimi sitting on a plastic insert with an indent made for your Mimi. You pull this insert out by another silky black ribbon to find another insert, this one looks like it's made of recycled cardboard, that contains your instruction book and charger. The box is ideal for storing you charger and Mimi in. And if you remove the sleeve the black, discreet box makes this great for giving as a gift or storage.

This is my first vibrator that is made for clitoral stimulation, it is also my first waterproof and rechargeable toy. I absolutely love it and would recommend it to any one looking for a high quality clit vibe. This has become my go-to vibe and even my husband grabs it when he has choice over the toy we are going to use.

I defiantly enjoy this toy more during a solo session in the shower, although the husband loves to bring it out for foreplay and intercourse. The Mimi has us sold on Je Joue toys, and we cannot wait to try the rest by this manufacturer.
