Je Joue Mimi Soft Clitoral Stimulator Purple

In deep purple, the Je Joue Mimi Soft is a palm-sized clitoral stimulator wrapped in an extra layer of squishy silicone, and it ships with a blindfold in the box. That pairing says a lot about how it's meant to be used: slowly, by touch, with the focus on how things feel rather than how fast you get there. It keeps the pebble outline of the classic Mimi but trades the firm shell for a cushion you can press into.

Soft versus the original Mimi

The original Mimi has a hard casing that delivers sharp, exact pressure. The Soft version covers that same core with a thicker, velvety silicone layer and a pliable tip. Squeeze it and it gives; lean on it and the vibration spreads out instead of drilling into one point. If you've found firm toys a bit much on a sensitive clitoris, the cushioning takes the edge off without dulling the vibration. If you love precise, hard contact, the classic Mimi is the better match.

Playing with the blindfold

Taking sight away sharpens everything else, which is why Je Joue includes one. Solo, slip it on, lie back and let your hand wander with the Mimi before settling on the clitoris. You'll notice the texture, warmth and tiny changes in speed far more. With a partner, put the blindfold on whoever is receiving and let the other person control where the toy goes next, pausing and moving it to keep things unpredictable. Try running it over the lips, the inner thighs and the lower stomach before it ever reaches the clitoris; the anticipation does half the work. Agree on a simple word for "stop" or "slower" before you begin, since the person wearing the blindfold can't read your face.

Getting the most from this clitoral stimulator

Hold it flat in your palm for broad, rumbling contact over the whole vulva, then turn it onto its slim edge to target one side of the clitoris or the hood. Small circles work better than pressing hard. Two buttons handle everything: one switches on and changes the setting, the other steps through speeds. There are five speeds plus a set of rhythm patterns, so start low and climb gradually. A little water-based lube on the surface stops the soft silicone dragging on dry skin.

Water, charging and care

Je Joue rates the Mimi Soft fully waterproof, so it can come into the bath with you and goes under the tap for cleaning. Clean the soft coating gently with warm water and a little mild soap, then pat it dry with a lint-free cloth. It's rechargeable, so keep the charging cable with it and top it up after a long session rather than letting the battery run flat. The squishy coating attracts lint, so store it in a pouch or the original box.

Choosing a colour

Purple is the boldest of the Mimi Soft shades. The same toy also comes in lilac, black and slate grey; only the colour differs.
