LELO has done it again! I've always loved their products, and the Mia is no exception. This little engine can go go go! At only 4.25 inches long, the Mia is a very powerful little vibrator. It's made for clitoral stimulation, but can be great for sensitive nipples, labia, or any other special spot. It is not made for internal use, and does get slippery when lubed up, so be cautious there.

First, the basics: The Mia vibe is made of plastic, with a little silicone near the USB port on the inside of the cap, and over the two buttons. The buttons are just a plug (+) and minus (-) symbol. There is no smell or taste that I noticed on the toy. Edenfantasys rates this as an 8 on the safety scale, and the health bonuses are: Food-grade material / Hypo-allergenic / Latex free / Non-porous / Phthalates free. Because of the silicone, I would recommend staying away from silicone based lubricants, as it could make the buttons and USB section tacky.

To use the Mia vibe, simply press and hold the + until you get to the power level desired. Once at the highest power level, different patterns can be accessed by pressing the + button again. There are three different pulse patterns (in addition to the standard continuous vibration) that vary in speed. To turn it off, just hold the - button until all vibrating stops. Despite the strong vibrations I felt from Mia, it's pretty quiet. An awesome feature the Mia has (that I wish more toys came with) is that you can lock the controls: just holding both buttons at once until the light turns off will lock or unlock the Mia. This feature makes it great to travel with you wherever you go! The Mia also comes with a handy dandy little white sack.

Now for the geeky: The Mia is charged via USB! I think it's a great feature, because if anyone asks, I can play this off like some weird large USB drive. The manual says the Mia needs about 2 hours to charge up for about 4 hours of play. It also tells you to charge before using: I did so, but I don't think it needed the full two hours before the pulsing light turned to a constant light, indicating it was fully charged. I also have yet to play with Mia for a total of 4 hours, so I'm not entirely sure about the life span... yet.

The easiest way to take care of the Mia is to get a damp washcloth and spot clean it. I'm wary of the cap, and try not to get water near there, just in case. The Mia comes with its little sack, the removable cap, and a little USB extension cable that about 8 or so inches long. It also comes with an instruction manual (in many languages), warranty, and guarantee. The packaging makes an elegant gift, and the box is sturdy and great for storing other things (I use all my LELO boxes for strong jewelry, desk stuff, hair things, and more!)
