The geek girl’s sex toy: Mia

There isn’t much for me to say about the new, hot MIA vibe except that I want one really bad — and after reading Jiz Lee’s review of Lelo’s discreet USB charging purse-sized accessory (“… you’ll never have to go to Walgreens to buy lame batteries ever again”), I have little to add. That is, until I get my hands on one. My only wish is that they came in black, to match my MacBook of course. Jiz tells us,

(…) She’s made out of hard plastic and silicone, and meant for external stimulation — the tip of the vibe is tapered much like a tube of lipstick, which means you can get a flat, firm buzz on your clit, or rotate the vibe slightly to feel the edge of the end along the clit or labia. While it’s perfect as a solo toy, Mia is small enough to hold between two partners during sex. It’s primarily a ‘clit toy,’ though one could imagine that it’d feel pretty great with just the tip of the toy teasingly circling certain openings during oral sex.

The vibe’s hottest feature is its recharging USB port or cable. It looks like a fashionable jump drive — one that actually gives you a ride! Don’t let the small size fool you; she’s got a TON of power stored up — a strong buzz with four different pulsations that last as long as four hours. Mia becomes completely charged in only two hours, at which time the blinking light changes to a steady glow, and you know it’s time to wrap up that blog post and take a much deserved ‘break.’

High tech toys tend to have too many buttons; Mia keeps it simple with two: “+” and “-” are all she needs, and it’s pretty intuitive. Turn it on by pressing “+” and keep clicking to make it stronger; for less vibration press the “-.” Lock it in travel mode by holding both “+” and “-” at the same time. Mia sounds as discrete as it looks with a mere hum. Mum’s the word.

Like other LELO toys, the beautiful matte black packaging includes a silky storage bag. Also included are instructions, a USB port as well as a USB cable. Though LELO is a highly reputable company, it comes with a one-year warranty to protect against any possible manufacturer defects. Clean up is a breezy wipe with antibacterial soap and water.
