We already had a Je Joue toy - the Mio that I bought for hubby last year - so knew a little of what to expect. The MiMi actually surpassed all of my expectations though.

It's funny - something I've found with the MiMi is that I can sometimes get pleasure just from sitting around holding it. In some ways it's like having a worry stone or beads, and I can find myself in another world just from sitting stroking my thumb over the velvety material.

My MiMi came with a charge, but I don't know whether it was a full one or not since one of the first things I did was to put it on the charger. It's the same charger as the Mio too, which I'm glad of since it's very convenient. No worrying about pushing a plug into a little hole anywhere, just rest the magnets against the + and - controls and voila, you're charging your MiMi up so she's ready and waiting for the next session.

As with all silicone toys, especially high-end ones, the right lube is a necessity if you're going to use any. I haven't, but if that's your thing then you're going to want to use water-based with this. I won't even suggest a patch test if you want to use silicone lube, since there's nowhere at all on this that you'd want to do a patch test on. Clean up is quick and easy - the toy is almost totally encased in silicone except for the control panel, so it just needs a quick rinse with warm soap and water or an ever-handy Eden Wipe. Although this is silicone and waterproof I don't think I'd be try boiling it to clean it though, due to it being a powered toy.

The speed controls are simple, and again identical to the Mio. The magnetic charger doubles as + and - buttons: hold down the + to get started then keep pressing it to increase the speed/power. The MiMi doesn't have any sort of memory setting, so it starts back over from the first setting when you turn it back on.

After a couple of weeks just using the basic power settings and now a few days playing with the vibrations, I can safely say that this is the greatest clit toy I've ever owned. I was first introduced to high-end clitoris vibes thanks to the Nea that a good friend gave a couple of Christmases ago, and while that's still a wonderful toy, it's the MiMi that I reach for each time I want special 'me time'. Another great thing about this is that it's quiet, even on the highest settings. So once my bedroom door is closed, no-one knows what I'm up to in there.
