Not only is Mia adorable as hell - but she charges via USB! That right there was enough to win my geeky self over. On top of that she's discreet, sleek, and chic. She's intended for and best used for external stimulation. She can be used to tease all of your erogenous zones such as the clit, nipples, testis, perineum, etc. For safety reasons you should avoid the anal area as she has no flared base. Mia can be used solo but small enough to throw into the mix of partner play. She also pairs up nicely with other LELO toys, such as the Ella, or with your partner's tongue as they perform oral on you. Refrain from using her in the shower as she is nowhere near waterproof.
Mia is primarily made of a hard ABS plastic with silicone covered buttons. It is very glossy and smooth to the touch. Mia is completely odorless and tasteless. Mia is also non-porous, phthalate & latex free making her completely safe for anybody to play with; from beginners to advanced and everybody in between.
The rounded end is the vibrator end which is great for pinpoint stimulation; where I'm assuming the motor is located. The flat end is for clit and labia massage, which also doubles as the cap on the USB charging end. I was surprised though, as I always assumed that the flat end was the vibrator end. The vibrations do travel well throughout Mia's body and I did try using the flat end but it was not as powerful.
In the beginning Mia's cap would pop off during use. Which I believe has been an issue with most everyone. I have found a way to manipulate her to avoid the cap from falling off. First, when I put on her cap I give it a slight twist and it seems to hold tighter. Also, I hold Mia like a pencil - as if I am coloring my clit with it. This also gives me some very pinpoint precision. I have since not had her cap pop off.
Mia is pocket-sized and is very easy to hide. She is travel friendly. She's small enough to carry in your purse and provides pleasure on the go!
She is definitely discreet - unless you are like myself and have to show off your new USB chargeable vibrator to EVERYONE! I have no shame.
Right out of the box, Mia is ready to be charged. Just plug her into the USB port on your computer. She charges pretty quickly. She should be charged for about 45 minutes prior to use. A flashing LED indicates that she is charging; a static LED indicates that she is fully charged. A 2 hour charge should get you about 3.5 hours of vibration. Do not charge her for more than 24 hours; it is possible to over charge Mia.
Mia has a plus and a minus button on the her side which are very easy to control. Simply press the plus button and Mia will begin to vibrate. By continuously holding the plus button it will increase the intensity of the vibrations, bringing you through about 7 speeds. To switch to pulsing, when max intensity is reached press and hold the plus button for about 3-5 seconds. This will jump you to the pulsations where you can cycle through 3 speeds; fast, faster, fastest. To turn it off, press the minus button and hold for 3-5 seconds switching you back over to the steady vibrations; Hold until Mia turns off. Mia has a locking feature so you don't have to worry about her turning on while in storage. Which could result into a very embarrassing moment or a very frustrated moment. To lock Mia simply hold both her buttons simultaneously for about 5 seconds.
Mia does pack a punch for her petite size. Mia is strong but she's not intense. I must say that Mia is pretty darn quiet. Like most vibrators, she gets louder on her higher settings. On her lower speeds she is virtually silent and barely heard while in the same room. On her higher settings she is still pretty quiet; buzzy but quiet. I don't think she could be easily heard through a door if used under the blankets.
Mia is not waterproof. Do not use her near water and be extremely careful when cleaning.
Mia is super easy to clean, which is always a plus. You can wipe her body down the toy wipes or a spritz of toy cleaner. Be careful not to get her too wet, as she's not waterproof and you want to avoid getting water in the USB port. After cleaning, dry her off and place her in the included satin toy pouch. She is small enough to be stored just about anywhere, even in your purse!
If you choose to use lube, you should use a water-based lube as Mia's buttons are made of silicone.
Mia, like all the others, comes in LELO's classy signature black box.Included in the box is a white satin pouch, a USB extension cord, warranty, and instruction pamphlet. It's perfect for storing the warranty, instructions, and the USB extension for safe keeping. The box would be great for gift giving as it is sophisticated looking and discreet.
Not only have I discovered that Mia makes a great masturbation companion, but she also make a great conversational piece! - Everybody envies by USB chargeable vibrator!
Follow-up commentaryI still like it10 months after original review
I really love the geek factor that Mia provides, however, I do wish the vibrations were stronger. From what I hear, the vibrations of Mia 2.0 are much stronger and the cap stays on. I really hope that EF decides to carry the new and improved Mia. *fingers crossed*

@toysforall - The cap the the Mia 2.0 is supposed to stay on better. I hope EF decides to carry the new and improved Mia. Thanks for the comment!
