My verdict
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.
- Pros
- The stylish and sophisticated design adds an elegant touch to your toy collection.
- The soft silicone is hypoallergenic and waterproof which feels good on the skin and easy to clean.
- It offers a variety of vibration patterns for customizable experiences.
- It’s rechargeable with a magnetic charger, which is convenient.
- The vibrator has a fairly long playtime, ideal for extended sessions.
- Cons
- The design requires constant repositioning to achieve the desired external stimulation.
- Switching through vibration modes during play is difficult due to the small, dainty buttons.
- The toy is not as user-friendly as expected, making it less practical for some.

Design
The Je Joue Mimi Soft Fuchsia Vibrator is a pebble-shaped toy with a smooth, seamless silicone finish that gives it a high-end appearance. Its vibrant fuchsia color adds a playful touch to the otherwise minimalist design. The compact size and rounded edges make it visually appealing and easy to store. However, the broad, flat shape, while intended to provide broad stimulation, can feel awkward to hold during use. The small buttons are integrated into the curve of the toy, maintaining the sleek aesthetic but making them difficult to locate and press, especially mid-play. Overall, it’s a design that prioritizes style over functionality.
Quality
The Mimi Vibrator is undeniably high-quality in terms of materials and construction. The premium silicone feels velvety smooth, with no visible seams, giving it a luxurious and body-safe finish. The magnetic charging system is efficient, well-integrated and is something we would find in higher end toys. From a durability standpoint, the toy feels solid and well-made, living up to the reputation of Je Joue as a luxury brand.
Experience
Using the Mimi Soft was a mixed bag. At first glance, it’s a beautifully crafted toy that feels luxurious in your hand, but the issues start once you actually put it to use. The broad, pebble-like shape sounds great in theory, but in practice, it’s awkward to hold, especially if you’re trying to maintain a steady angle. Because of its flat design, you end up needing a lot of surface contact to get a good grip, which makes it tricky to maneuver without your hand cramping up. When it comes to stimulation, the rumbly vibrations feel lovely at lower intensities, offering a slow, teasing build-up. However, it’s a struggle to find the perfect angle for more focused pleasure on higher levels. With 5 speeds and 7 patterns, I expected to be more than satisfied but this is drowned out by the issues I had holding it in place (maybe bigger hands would have an easier time with it). I found myself constantly readjusting, which pulled me out of the moment. The buttons didn’t help either—they’re small, hard to locate, and nearly impossible to press without fumbling. While it’s quiet and discreet, making it great for shared spaces or travel, the overall experience felt more frustrating than satisfying. For partner play, it’s okay for broad teasing, but the lack of precision limits play here too and prevents you from reaching maximum potential with this toy.
Performance
Considering Je Joue’s solid reputation, I had high hopes for the Mimi Soft, and while it didn’t entirely disappoint, there were drawbacks. The vibrations are gentle and rumbly at their core, which is great for a slow, teasing build-up or even a big finish, but finding an angle to feel these vibes is an issue. The shape’s broad surface makes it tricky to achieve targeted stimulation, often requiring a lot of repositioning to find a sweet spot—a frustrating experience in the heat of the moment. The buttons, though small and discreet, are difficult to navigate mid-play, further dampening the overall experience, so really it didn't meet my expectations.
Materials and care
Made from premium, body-safe silicone, the Mimi Soft feels luxurious to the touch. Its smooth, velvety finish is undeniably inviting and non-porous, making it easy to clean. A quick rinse with warm water and mild soap or a spritz of toy cleaner does the trick. However, the magnetic charging port located within the buttons require more careful handling to ensure no water lingers around the connection points. Since the toy isn’t fully waterproof (just splashproof), submerging it is a no-go, which might limit your options for adventurous play or more thorough cleaning.
Packaging
The Mimi Soft arrives in sleek, minimalistic packaging that screams sophistication. It’s the kind of box you’d proudly display if it weren’t, well, holding a vibrator. However, the presentation might feel a bit overhyped compared to the actual usability of the product. Inside, the vibrator rests in a molded compartment alongside the magnetic charger and an instruction booklet. While elegant, the lack of a proper storage pouch or case feels like a missed opportunity, especially given its premium price point.
Price
At its premium price point (around $100), the Mimi Soft sets certain expectations, and while it excels in design and materials, its performance is a let down, making me second guess the spend. You’re paying for a chic, aesthetically pleasing toy, but the actual usability doesn’t entirely justify the cost. In all honesty, for the same investment, there are other toys on the market that offer more power, versatility, and ease of use.
