MiMi Generation I - clitoral vibrator discontinued by Je Joue - review by Sex Positivity

The Mimi is an egg-shaped clitoral vibrator with ten different vibration settings packed into one cute little package. She is both waterproof and rechargeable - a feat for any vibrator, but the Mimi perfected it. She is not safe for anal use, and not an ideal shape for insertion, but is great at stimulating these areas, if you're careful.

My Mimi has, just tonight, become my favorite vibrator because she packs a silent punch. I had originally been put off by the noises of the Mimi, when surfing through her settings, thinking that she was much louder than her reviews led me to believe. But, upon USING my Mimi, her sound all but disappeared. I suppose she just wants be nestled safely in between your legs before she stops her buzzing and begins her rumbly vibrations.

The Mimi is great to use with a partner, fitting snugly near your clit for almost all positions, but solo play is just as fun. Using the Mimi by herself is great, or you can pair her up with a g-spot dildo, too, and prepare yourself for gushing orgasms. I've tried, and there is no bad way to use her.

The first thing I commented on when I opened up my Mimi was that she is so soft. Her velvety silicone has almost no drag to it right out of the box, and she simply glides along your skin with a water-based lubricant (not that that's necessary; the Mimi will have you soaking wet in just a few minutes!). Remember not to use a silicone-based lube, because the Mimi is a toy you don't want to ruin.

I detected no smell or taste from the Mimi, even fresh out of her packaging. After use, there is no smell and she retains her silky feel. I don't know if I ever want another toy with a different material.

The Mimi is the first egg-shaped vibrator I've ever had, and I might never go back to a bullet. She has just enough of a point at her tip to make for pinpoint stimulation, but turn her over on her side and she has a surface area almost as big as the Hitachi Magic Wand does. And, being rechargeable, she packs a powerful punch that you sometimes can't get from a battery-operated toy.

The size of the Mimi makes her perfect for both brand new and advanced users. She fits snugly in the palm of my hand, and stays delicately in place between the lips of my vagina.

I'd truly recommend her as a first-time vibe because she is discreet, powerful, non-threatening, and comes with her own little box for storage. While the Mimi is a luxury vibe, she's on the shallow end of the luxury pool, so if you're not sure you want to make big investments into toys just yet, I'd suggest starting with the Mimi to show you just where those extra few dollars go when you're purchasing a vibrator.

This is the only area where I have a complaint about my Mimi. And I'm sure you've heard it before: her buttons are hard to press, often leaving indents in the skin because of the sheer force needed to turn her on and off. That being said, I have no other complaints about the Mimi. And, to me, if that's the only thing I can find to bitch about, it's still a damn good toy.

When the Mimi is on or charging, a little light turns on in the shape of a heart. It's Mimi's little way of acknowledging that you're using her and it's just adorable, to boot.

Now, on to her functions:

Setting one: very light vibrations; one bee, one vroom.
Setting two: mild vibrations; one bee, two vrooms.
Setting three: medium vibrations; one and a half bees, three vrooms.
Setting four: powerful vibrations; two bees, four vrooms
Setting five: earth shattering vibrations; two and a half bees, five vrooms.
Setting six: powerful pulsations; two and a half bees, five vrooms.
Setting seven: faster pulsations; two and a half bees, five vrooms.
Setting eight: roller coaster; two bees, four vrooms
Setting nine: roller coaster pulsations; two bees, four vrooms.
Setting ten: faster roller coaster pulsations; two bees, four vrooms.

The Mimi has something for everything. She's damn near silent and can get herself all the way up to five vrooms without waking your sleeping roommate, which is a plus.

The Mimi is a very easy toy to maintain. After use, give her a warm rubdown with some soap and water, then store her in her luxurious box from Je Joue, and she's good to go for another run tomorrow. Beyond cleaning up so great, the Mimi is also a 10/10 on the Eden material safety scale. She's latex-free, non-porous and phthalates-free, so what's not to love?

Also, the Mimi comes in a lovely, ribbon-tied box that makes her perfect for gift giving and keeps storing her easy and discreet. She's low maintenance and pretty? Shit, sign me up for another one!

Now, here's the fun part. I wasn't crazy about my Mimi until tonight. Feeling frisky right out of the shower, I decided to lay in my bed and have a little me time, and I wanted my Mimi to be involved. I was just starting to get into it when my bedroom door swung wide open and my mom came in to say she was headed off to bed.

Thankfully, I had the covers pulled up when the door opened, otherwise she would have known what was going on. However, I didn't have enough time to shut of my Mimi and I was mortified. Until I realized my mother and I were holding a perfectly normal conversation and she had NO IDEA that I had a buzzing vibe nestled between my legs.

It killed the mood, but at least I know the Mimi can stand up to being walked in on.
