Lelo Mia 2 USB Rechargeable Clitoral Vibrator
The Lelo Mia 2 was anticipated by all who had ever heard of the luxury sex toy brand. The original Mia was a slim discreet lipstick vibe and every travelling womanâs companion. Being USB-chargeable and having a lock function, there wasnât anything Mia couldnât do. That is, until her older sister stepped up to the mark.
The Lelo Mia 2 arrives in a slimmer, taller box than the original. Maybe the designers are ârolling with the timesâ and going for a supermodel look? Anyway, I took off the outer sleeve (which featured a picture of the Lelo Mia 2 and a few sentences of information about the vibe) and got down to inspecting the contents of the sturdy inner box which I think is made of very firm cardboard. Lelo have gone all-out in making first impressions count: the Lelo Mia 2 sits with its lid firmly attached - the original Mia stored the cap and the vibe separately, so the USB charging port was always exposed. Now the Mia 2 really looks like a vibe when you remove the lid to the box!
The box also contains a sachet of Leloâs personal moisturising lubricant, a small satin drawstring bag (black) an instruction guide and a Lelo Authenticity Card. You definitely feel as though you have been spoiled which makes it worth the full ÂŁ39.99 price tag alone. I do feel as if Lelo could have included a USB extension charging cable if they truly wanted to impress but what household doesnât have one these days?
I purchased the black Mia 2 and was as equally impressed by the smooth plastic as I was by my original Mia; the quality of the vibe is outstanding especially now you can fully submerse it in water when you clean it - amongst other things! The new Miaâs silver band around the âhandleâ of the vibe now extends to inside the vibratorâs USB charging section, which contributes towards the waterproof aspect of the vibe.
The controls are the same as the original but the manual does not explicitly tell you how to change modes and is a bit difficult to work out. I am still experimenting with my Mia 2 and playing with the modes so Iâm not much help here. I think you press the + button for more than two seconds to have it change vibration modes but Iâm not entirely sure. I only really use this vibe on the continuous modes anyway but itâs nice to have the option of patterns. The Lelo Mia 2 so far has classier packaging, a great waterproof feature and also has the same little niggles about changing vibrations modes as the original - but wait - I thought it was more powerful!? Yes, it is.
Breathe a sigh of relief there, readers. The original Mia was quite powerful as a clitoral stimulator but this one is so much better! It does have comfortable, slow vibrations on the lower end of the scale which help tease up to the point where I can turn it up to the higher settings to tip me over the edge! At the end of the day Iâm glad there is more power. Bluntly put, it helps speed up my orgasms and gives me more intense sensations.
The Lelo Mia 2 is couple-friendly and would make a great first toy for women with partners as it is not intimidating at all. The lipstick-shaped vibe will go unnoticed in hand luggage for you travelling girls out there and it is fully lockable for the trip to Australia - just make sure you hold the two buttons down together until the white light flashes and it becomes locked. It will save its charge and you will touch down in the outback ready for some fun. Its waterproof finish means we never need to worry about lube dripping everywhere again and itâs ready for play when we are. The ninety minutes playtime suits me just fine after fully charging. Whatâs not to like?
