Mia Favourite!

The Mia has by far exceeded any expectations i had for it.

I love it's colour, shape, size and most importantly the USB charging feature. Not only is this lip stick like vibrator good for the clitoris but it is also beneficial to other areas of your body such as massaging the labia, anus, or nipples. Keep in mind that this is a vibrator, I would not recommend inserting it into your vagina or anus for safety reasons.

The Mia is great for solo play and couples play alike. When using it solo, I like to accompany Mia with a dildo. The vibrations of the Mia tend to make it feel like the dildo is doing the vibrating. If you are a woman who takes a little longer to reach your climax, Mia would also be a great foreplay object with your partner. There are also ways to incorporate the Mia during sexual intercourse depending on how you like to position yourself, I had great fun with Mia when my hubby entered from behind.

The Mia is very user friendly and can be used almost anywhere, but be sure to remember Mia is not water proof! Putting the mia in water can damage the product.

The Mia comes coloured in pink or purple and is constructed out of smooth ABS plastic. This plastic makes it easy to glide along your pleasure areas, even without the use of a lubricant (silicone lubricants are not recommended). The Mia is both odourless and tasteless. It has a built in control pad which is made of two slightly raised silicone buttons a + and a -. There is a shiny silver strip that runs around the circumference of the Mia. The flat end cap, which is removed when charging, is located just above the silver strip. The other end of the Mia is rounded.

The Mia is sized and shaped much like a lipstick, one end is flat and the other is rounded. The flat end seems to have been included for pinpoint clitoral stimulation while the rounded end could be used for nipple or labia massages. The Mia is about 4 1/4" in length (with the USB cap on), 2 3/4" in circumference and 7/8" in diameter. These measurements coupled with its shape and USB charging capabilities makes the Mia a very discreet toy. Most would assume it's just a flash drive. It can easily fit in your pocket, purse and in some wallets (which makes it great for travelling!).

One design flaw about the Mia that I must mention are the control pad buttons. While they are raised and made of a different material (silicone) I think that the two could be made separate instead of all in one. I found it very difficult to distinguish which button I was hitting unless I literally stopped and looked at the Mia for verification. Most times I was hitting in between the buttons where the LED light is. This would probably be very frustrating for users mid play. I certainly know it was for me.

The Mia has two control buttons, one being a + and one being a -. The + allows you to turn Mia on and change the intensity of the vibrations. Once the highest vibration level is achieved you can then hold the + button down to activate the vibration modes. There are 4 vibration modes which can be chosen by using the same + button. The - button does the exact opposite! It turns the vibration levels down and powers off the Mia. It is really simple to use.

The noise level of the Mia is very quiet, just a simple hum. I found that the rounded end seemed to have stronger vibrations than the flat end, so that's what I used most. I'm not sure if that's just something I noticed or others feel the same way about it. I also found that Mia felt best on it's highest setting and at a steady rate. The patterned vibrations just didn't seem as pleasurable for me. I was able to climax using Mia, however, I also used a dildo as well. I don't think the vibrations are strong enough for me to climax with the Mia alone.

I found the Mia easy to hold onto however if you decide you want to use a lubricant with the Mia, keep in mind that the surface is very smooth and flat. I found that using a lubricant made the Mia very hard to grip onto. it slid around way too much, and even fell out of my hand a few times.

The Mia is USB charged which means no more fishing for fresh batteries mid play. This is by far the best feature of the toy. To charge the Mia you simply plug it in to your USB port and an LED indicator will flash to let you know it's charging. You can still have use of your computer as well. Upon a 2hr charge the Mia is expected to last through 3.5hrs of play. from my experience the Mia does live up to the battery life standard, however, when it starts to lose power the vibrations decrease quickly.

The cap of the Mia is easy to remove, but tends to fall off quite a bit during play. To take it off, you simply pull it. I think that if the cap had a lock feature or twisted on it would be more beneficial to the user.

Cleaning is simple and easy! Some antibacterial soap and warm water is how I clean my Mia, both before and after I use it. Be sure to be careful with the water as this toy is not waterproof, and water can potentially damage it. After all, there is a large USB port on it!

After ashing the Mia I gently pat it dry with a towel. I store the Mia in the satin bag that is provided with it, and place it in my nightstand with my other toys. Caring for the Mia is that simple! It barely takes any time at all to sanitize, wash and store away until the next use.

I do not think the Mia would have any compatibility issues with other toys, however, the manufacturer states that silicone lubricants should not be used.

The Mia came laid out in a beautiful purple box with a black box inside. The black box was plain and just had 'LELO' written on it. Upon opening the box you can see the Mia and underneath the tray it sits on there was user manuals, warranty guides (1 year guarantee from manufacturer), a USB cable as well as a little white satin bag to store it in. If you wish, you could also just store the Mia in it's original packaging - the black box!
