Mia is a well designed vibrator. Its hard plastic body has a sleek and sophisticated shape to it, and it is small and discreet. It has a USB plug so you can recharge it with your computer instead of using batteries. The buttons are unobtrusive and it's pretty quiet. The execution of these properties, however, left a lot to be desired.

I am the type of person who needs sexual release at least once a day, so naturally, my vibrators get a lot of use. As a result, I don't like to use battery operated vibrators because it's a huge waste of money for me. Part of the attraction to Mia was it's rechargeable qualities. Unfortunately, it took a lot longer for it to charge (maybe 4 hours) than it did for me to use the charge up (probably 30 minutes). As it lost charge, the vibrations, which were already a little weak, would grow weaker, leaving me in a situation where getting off with the Mia was not going to be a likely ending.

The buttons, while unobtrusive, were also a little annoying. There is a + button and a - button, and you basically scroll through a number of speeds and settings. When you're in the heat of the moment, the last thing you want to do is fumble with these controls to find the right setting, or to find that instead of going a speed higher, you've stumbled into the pulsing vibrations. The buttons were also not super easy to press when the vibe was "in position", which was also unpleasant.

The hard plastic is easy to clean, but makes my clitoris sore after a while. It's not meant to be inserted, and is a bit small for that anyway. It does succeed in being discreet and quiet, but I found it to also be a little weak, even on the strongest setting, and combined with the waning power, found it hard to get off.

The biggest problem I had with the Mia, however, was that it broke pretty quickly. Probably within two months of me purchasing it.
