I recently discovered a new friend of sorts by the name of Mia. We have an interesting relationship in which Mia is at my beck and call, but I don't think we could ever go steady. Don't get me wrong, I like my little Lelo Mia. How can I not? It's a vibrator... and it's fuchsia, feminine, discreet and technologically chic.

One of my favorite attributes of this playful massager is it looks like a sleek tube of lipstick. The Mia's shape and dimensions (four inches long by approximately one inch across) make it an unassuming addition to any woman's purse. Perfectly sized, it will discreetly be ready at hand for all those moments of spontaneity.

The high-end toy vibrates quietly on four different settings; continuous vibration, and three other settings that pulsate ranging in extended to short intervals.

Mia is unique, charging via USB plug. Its lipstick-shaped cap removes to reveal a USB and plugs directly into your PC or laptop. (It also comes with a USB cord, which I found necessary because my laptop is too thin for it to plug directly into my USB while my computer is sitting on a table.) With the cap off, it looks like a thumbnail drive, allowing for inconspicuous recharging. Fully charged, it provides up to four hours of fun. Mia is a perfect toy for that special techy in your life.

As a pleasure toy, this vibrator can definitely achieve its purpose. Mia travels discreetly and will be there whenever you want it. It’s tech chic, and fun. I also see it as a nice supplement to sex with a partner. However, I think I would get a little tired of the kinky little toy; I wouldn’t make it a mainstay in the bedroom. I prefer something with a little more of everything… length, width, and power.

Nonetheless, I am quite pleased to write that I have my Mia in my purse.
