The Je Joue Mimi Review: Pretty in Pink, But Not So Perfect in Play

The Je Joue Mimi Soft Fuchsia Vibrator is undeniably a stylish and sophisticated toy, but when it comes to practicality and comfort, it leaves a bit—or rather a lot—to be desired. While the soft silicone and variety of vibration patterns are nice features, the awkward shape and limited maneuverability make it hard to fully enjoy. I found myself flipping it over more than once and trying more than a few angles, trying to get a good dose of the broad external stimulation it promises. All in all, it’s a toy that looks better on your nightstand than it feels in your hand during use. Switching through modes is another uphill battle, with small, dainty buttons on the circumference of the toy, which makes it almost impossible to switch through while you’re holding it in play. On the plus side, it’s rechargeable with a magnetic charger and has a fairly long playtime (I guess you’re going to need the extra juice considering finding the right play angle is near impossible on most days). On paper, it ticks a lot of boxes, but in practice, it’s not as user-friendly as it sounds.
