LELO MIA 2 Review
My Verdict
All in all, I think the LELO MIA 2 is a decent bullet vibrator. I really really wanted it to be my new favorite "purse-vibrator", but I just don't think it pushed the right buttons for me. That said, I still think it's a great quality sex toy. I think it would be really great for someone who: 1) likes pinpoint stimulation, 2) enjoys the sensation of hard ABS plastic on their clit over softer, grippier silicone, 4) prefers more gentle, deep rumbles over really intense vibrations. That just wasn't me. Ultimately, I'm the one missing out, because I really do love some of the features! I like how elegant and discreet it is. It really is the quietest vibrator I have ever tried! I'm a big fan of the practical built-in USB-port that would allow me to bring it with me on the go without having to remember a charger! So, yeah, the final verdict is that this is a great vibrator. It impressed me but it didn't impress my clitoris sufficiently, and, in the end, she's the boss.
Buy, if you...
- want a luxury bullet vibrator

Personal Experience
Elegantly Elevating My Experience with Bullet Vibrators
I’ve only ever used cheaper bullet vibrators before, and I’ve never really felt the need to find something better. I just tend to prefer the kind of sensation that come from clitoral suction toys or the kind of broad stimulation that comes from magic wand vibrators. But I actually thought it was about time that I gave bullet vibrators are fair chance. If I was going to do that, I wanted to do it with style. Enter the LELO MIA 2. Products from LELO are well-known for the sense of luxury and quality they provide their customers with. I thought: maybe I just need to try a *good* bullet vibrator to get the job done. I loved this subtle yet elegant take on a lipstick vibrator. It was perfectly discreet, compact, and felt super lightweight. I really liked the idea of being able to charge it directly via the built-in USB-port under the top cap! If this was a success, I would have me a new travel buddy that fit perfectly in my purse!Soft & Sensual Vibrations Aren’t Quite Enough For Me
Believe me, I really wanted to love the LELO MIA 2. But once I tried it out, I have to say I was a bit disappointed. While I really appreciated a lot of the overall features in the design, I just didn’t enjoy the vibrations. They were just a bit too mild for me. I also don’t think I’m personally a fan of the ABS plastic cover, since I mostly enjoy the feeling of silicone directly on my clit. While I’m impressed that the vibrations are more deep and rumbly than they are buzzy, I was still left wanting more. The orgasms weren’t as satisfying as I know they can be with the kind of stimulation, and it honestly took quite a bit of work to get there! Sure, I think the LELO MIA 2 will still be a good little travel vibe to add some extra sensations to any kind of fun on-the-go. After all, it’s quite versatile and ideal for sharing with your partner to elevate your regular routine. Although, I can’t say I would reach for it if I’m looking for some truly satisfying self-pleasure.Design
I really like the overall design of the LELO MIA 2. I personally love the black color because I just think it makes it look more sexy and sophisticated. The glossy ABS plastic coating with metallic accents looks really luxurious. The design is not only aesthetically pleasing, it's also pretty practical. This lipstick vibrator is super compact, lightweight, and a practical to take with you in your purse on the go! I really like that the top cap comes off to reveal the built-in USB port for direct charging. That's definitely a huge pro in the design area for me.
Ease of Use
The LELO MIA 2 was actually super easy to use. The two buttons are simple and very intuitive to use. I think one of the best features of this lipstick vibrator is that it charges directly into the USB outlet. No need for any tangled charger cords or having to remember to bring it with you everywhere. I love that you can easily charge it wherever! The overall design is also so simple and safe to use anywhere externally, so there's really not much fuss, just rub it where it feels good!
Quality
As always, LELO products generally score a lot of points for quality. You can definitely tell that this is a luxury item by everything from the sleek design and the elegant packaging to the premium price! There definitely weren't any elements about the LELO MIA 2 that gave the impression of poor quality. Everything seemed top notch!
Price
I think the LELO MIA 2 is a bit too expensive for my liking. I mean, I'm all for saving up for a high quality sex toy if it's worth splashing out on! And maybe that is the case for some people when it comes to the LELO MIA 2. It just didn't quite live up to my expectations in terms of performance. While I know that that has a lot to do with my personal preferences, I still think the vibrations a relatively weak compared to some other high-end bullet vibrators around the same price point. So, all in all, I do think it's slightly overpriced for the intensity I would personally expect from this kind of luxury item.
Performance
As I touched upon in the previous section, I did miss something from the LELO MIA 2 in terms of performance. It didn't quite live up to my expectations in this area. On one hand, I did find a lot of other aspects of this vibrator pretty impressive. I liked the look and feel of it, and I'm huge fan of how compact and discreet it is. I will say that it is one of the quietest bullets I've ever tried! I also really like how the vibrations felt rumbly and deep as opposed to buzzy and mostly felt on the surface on the skin. On the other hand, I was always left wanting more. Even though the LELO MIA 2 is supposedly twice as powerful as its predessor predecessor. the original LELO MIA, the highest intensity setting is still slightly underwhelming for me. Perhaps the soft vibrations combined with the sensation of hard ABS plastic instead of soft silicone didn't quite hit the spot for me.
Packaging
Now, the packaging is really impressive. If you've read any of my reviews before, you might know that I have a bit of a weakness for luxurious sex toy packaging. I am almost never disappointed when it comes to LELO products. Their black boxes with plastic display windows are subtle, sleek, and sexy. They always include a soft, black drawstring pouch for safe storage of your new toy, a small sachet of water-based LELO lube, your warranty registration card, and often a manual as well.
Materials and care
The LELO MIA 2 is mostly covered in glossy ABS plastic. The buttons are made of silicone. Both materials are completely non-porous and 100% body-safe for both external and internal use. Since the LELO MIA 2 is fully waterproof as well, it is a breeze to clean! Simply wash it with warm water and a mild, unscented soap or sex toy cleaner. Rise thoroughly and dry completely before storing it in the included storage pouch. Since the charging port is actually attached to the vibrator itself, just make sure that the cap is screwed on properly before submerging it in water.
