Lelo Alia vs Je Joue MiMi: Which one to choose?

Contributor: agf agf 03/16/2011

I like more the Alia because can change vibration levels on every pulse pattern. But how is the vibration level compared with the Mimi?

The mimi has a higher speed so it would be better.

If you're buying it while on sale, the Alia, otherwise the price gap isn't worth it.

why the Alia?

I mean I think the controls (you can change vibration level on every pattern) are over the Mimi. And Lelo is Lelo, but on reviews somes say it is not too much powerfull and I don't know about the "waterproof system" because of that small hole on the back side

I'd choose the MiMi, being that I already own an Alia and I'm not incredibly impressed with it. The Alia has the same awesome, deep, rumbly vibrations of my Siri, in a more difficult to hold/control form. Also, I can't get quite as pinpoint of stimulation from the Alia as I can with the Siri. The only upside to the Alia I can see is that it boasts of being waterproof, which my Siri is clearly not. I can't really say, "Go for the MiMi! That one's better!", as I haven't had a chance to try one yet. However, I don't think the Alia is particularly worth it for the price tag. If anything, I'd recommend the Lelo Siri instead.

I don't have an Alia, so I can't tell you which is better. However, I *DO* have a MiMi. Even those with clits-o-steel can get something from the MiMi, and it sounds as if possibly not for the Alia. The MiMi is FULLY rechargeable and FULLY waterproof, so those reasons are on even par. The MiMi is just as luxurious, and honestly, I've heard many people say that they prefer JeJoue to Lelo. I would say that they are on par as far as luxury is concerned.

I HIGHLY recommend the MiMi. I love it. It's my *favorite* toy I've ever gotten (that I've used, I have another JeJoue that I haven't tried but it's a different TYPE of toy--G-spot vs clit) The variations in speeds and patterns allow me to take exactly how much time I need/want to take. And I've never failed to have an orgasm with my MiMi.

I went with Alia cause I have and love it!
After getting the SaSi, I don't have much faith in Je Joue. SaSi to me isn't high quality but sure is high in price!
In my opinion, ya can't go past Lelo for high quality.

I haven't had a bad experience yet with Je Joue, and I am considering a clitoral stimulator as my next toy. That said, I am leaning more towards another Je Joue toy- MiMi.
I do think it's high quality, the material, the fact that it's rechargeable, supposedly powerful (from every review I've read so far), comes in a beautiful box..


I was turned off the Alia because it has a higher price tag, looks more difficult to hold, and the ring of silvery plastic (? I think it's plastic? or metal?) goes around the entire toy. I feel like that would make the toy much harder to clean, the entire groove/seam going all the way around.

Yes I will go for the MiMi too, it is 100% waterproof, cheaper, and it seems to be more powerful

The Insignia products are a bit over priced. Honestly I would go with the Mimi.

I've got an Alia, which I actually managed to grab for about $60 (roughly $25 worth of points plus a 20% off sale, for the win!), and I absolutely love it, but I'm seriously considering a MiMi for the extra oomph.

And a note on the waterproofing: So far, I've had no problems using the Alia in the shower - the indentation around the socket seems to make water "sit" there and not go in, and another reviewer apparently submerged it without any problems. But if you're nervous about the waterproofing issue, then go for the MiMi.

I keep hearing that the Insignia line is kind of a letdown. I'd go for MiMi.

I feel for ya here, I was trying to make the same decision! It seems like the Alia doesn't perform as well as Mimi....but gosh darn it, it is so pretty. I decided to make Mimi one of my next purchases just because it's so highly praised!
