Alia From Lelo


Alia  By Lelo




This is a hand held very versatile little vibe that makes a great clitoral vibe.  It glides across your skin which also makes it great for massages also.  I like to use it on my own or as part of my foreplay.  Of course the husband loves to have it used all over his body starting as a massage tool for his sore shoulder , moving on to the erogenous zones and he especially likes it on his scrotum.




The silicone on the Alia is soft, silky and smooth.  It really does glide across your skin and really doesn't collect much lint or hair.  It is made from  medical grade silicone that is non porous, hypoallergenic latex and phthalates free.  The inner circle portion of the Alai is a metal coated plastic.  This too is nonporous, latex and phthalates free.  There are no tastes or smells associated with the toy.

The Alia is completely smooth except for the raised control area and the depressed charging area and LELO logo.  It fits nicely into the palm of my hand.  The inner circle of plastic makes it comfortable to hold  with your index finger through the hole to control the angles that you want the toy at.

The Alia is 3  1/4   inches long  and is 2  1/2   inches across at it's largest point.  It is  1 1/2  inches thick at it's thickest.  the inner circle is 1 1/2  inches from end to end.  The Alia looks very similar to a flattened out egg.

Alia has very simple controls.  a minus button - and plus button + and in the center a button that has an oval shape in it.  To turn it on you hit the plus button, this also controls the level of vibrations.  The center button controls the pulsation patterns.



The Alia seems to have approximately 8 levels of vibrations,  when playing with Alia it is hard to discern the levels with pressing the buttons.  The highest level of vibration sits right about a 3 out of 5.  It is not my strongest vibrating Lelo.  There are 8 patterns to the Alia,  first is vibration, 2nd is a slow pulsation, 3rd a faster pulsation, then you have an escalation of vibrations.  Then a roller coaster effect.  The last pattern is a rhythmic chaotic pattern.



The Alia is waterproof and rechargeable.  It charges with a Lelo cord that fits their insignia line.  I really like this since I can have one cord to charge several toys.  The charging port is slightly indented and you press the metal connector into the port.  There is a light under the silicone that flashes when the toy is charging and remains solid when it is completely charged.   The Alia charges for 2 hours for approximately 4 hours worth of play time.  The Alia is very quiet and cannot be heard over any covers.

Use only water based lubes so that the finish isn't compromised.  The silicone does become slick with use.  I  clean up my Alia with antibacterial soap and water or toy sprays and wipes.

The Alia come in the Lelo packaging of an outer box, the black inner box.  Inside you find the toy, an insignia pin.  A storage bag, the charging cable, product information and a lube sample as well as your product registration card.  The Lelo line comes with a one year warranty.

This isn't my strongest Lelo or my strongest hand held toy but I do enjoy it.  It feels good on my skin and on my lady parts.  It does help me to achieve orgasms.  I like to use this one for foreplay, my husband likes it.  He does say that he feels the Siri is stronger in it's pulsations though.  I use this one for more of a relaxation type of toy rather than a "I need to get off" toy.

I haven't had any issue with my Alia flaking paint.   I have had it for several months and have used my soap and water to clean it.  I have heard other reviewers and consumers have had issues.

Lelo Siri Versus Je Joue Mimi


Mimi by Je Joue  VS  Siri  by Lelo



They are both for clitoral stimulation and other external stimulation. They both work wonderfully for back massages and working out the knots.  They work on both males and female erogenous zones.  They both have their pro's and con's.  This is just my opinion of how they both work for me and my thoughts.



The Mimi by Je Joue  3 inches long and 2 inches wide and  ¾ of an inch thick. Mimi resembles a river rock or massage stone.  On the bottom portion of the toy is the  + / ~ / -  buttons.  The plus and minus buttons are raised but the middle ~ button is level with the base  and has to be depressed to change the  vibe patterns.  Press the + button to turn on and to increase the intensity of the vibrations,   press the - button to turn down the vibrations and to turn it  off. The ~ button in the middle is to change the vibration patterns.



The Siri is an oval shape with the silicone and plastic being at a diagonal cut.  It is only  4  1/2 inches long and  2  1/4   inches wide.   It is  1  1/2  inches thick. It does fit perfectly in the palm of my hand and when it is turned upside down so that the controls face downward the shape fits perfectly to my external female parts.  You can use both the silicone end and the plastic end for stimulation.

There are  4 buttons on the Siri, a + button, a - button, an up button and a down button.  To turn it on you push the + button. There really isn't a number for the vibrations.  It seems to just ramp up from a low to a high.  Pressing the up or down button will change the vibration patterns constant, long pulsations, short pulsations, a fast roller coaster, a slower roller coaster, and a chaotic mix of pulses and  vibrations.  Pressing the - button down for several seconds will turn the vibrator off.  The Siri's vibrations rate about a 4 out of 5 on the highest setting.

Neither the Siri  or the Mimi have  a memory, each time you turn it off you restart at the lowest setting.  Mimi always gets complaints about the buttons that they are hard to push and hard to change settings.  Siri has buttons that can get hit inadvertently while in use.

Mimi has a total of  5 vibration  settings from weak to strong and the strongest vibration level is about a 4 out of 5.   Mimi has 5 different patterns. Long pulse, Short pulse, Roller coaster, Fast steady Pulsing, and even faster Pulsing. Mimi is rechargeable with a magnetized charging connection that attaches to the button area.  The magnetized charging is so strong that you can suspend the Mimi by the cord and it will stay connects.
Mimi is completely waterproof and submergeable.  You can take this one to the bath with you.  The motor of the Mimi is centered towards the curved top portion of the toy and the vibrations carry throughout the entire toy.  Siri is not even splash proof, you cannot get this one wet in the control area or the charging port.  The motor on the Siri is also located towards the tip area with the vibrations carrying throughout the entire toy.

While both Mimi and Siri have a similar palm sized shape the Mimi works better for clitoral stimulation with intercourse.  Mimi is flatter and fits better between partners.  Siri, with it's curves  fits better if you want to tuck it in your panties or harness.

Both Mimi and Siri have non porous, hypoallergenic, phthalates and latex free silicone.  Both are actually plastic that is covered in the velvety soft silicone.  Honestly it is hard to tell the silicone apart on them, they both glide across your skin and feel good.

Siri is silicone and plastic and has the seam to contend with when cleaning the toy.

Now I have been told that my Mimi is defective because it has noise when it is turned on.  You can barely hear it over the covers but you can definitely tell that it is on.  Siri is dang near whisper quiet.  Only on the highest setting can a person sitting next to you hear that it is on.

It really comes down to what you are looking for.  A shape that is comfortable with intercourse or more solo play.  Buttons that you can inadvertently hit, or ones that can give you a fit.  So you want that toy to be fully waterproofed or do you mind if you have to be very careful?  Does the combination of the plastic with the seam  or full silicone sound better to you?

The Vibrations are essentially the same and they are both rechargeable.  The price point is very similar also. You can read the full Siri Review

Siri By Lelo


Siri from Lelo

Siri is a perfect sized toy to fit in the palm of your hand.  It is more for external stimulation, it's shape doesn't lend to insertion. But it can be used on your external lady bits.  It works great for back rubs and massages, it works on nipples, scrotum's, and  the backs of knees.  Pretty much all of your and your partner's erogenous zones.  I have also found that you can tuck this one in your harness to add some excitement for the evenings play.







Pro's

Small palm sized
Strong vibrations
Silicone
Rechargeable
Easy to use controls

Con's

Not waterproof
Seam where plastic meets silicone
Secretions can get in buttons
You can inadvertently hit buttons with use


Siri is smooth and soft.  One half of the toy is silicone and the other half is ABS plastic. The silicone  has no drag to it and it doesn't collect any lint or hair.  The Siri is free from odors or tastes.  Both the silicone and plastic are hypoallergenic, non porous, latex and phthalates free.  It is safe to be used between partners as long as it is properly sterilized.

The Siri is an oval shape with the silicone and plastic being at a diagonal cut.  It is only  4  1/2 inches long and  2  1/4   inches wide.   It is  1  1/2  inches thick. It does fit perfectly in the palm of my hand and when it is turned upside down so that the controls face downward the shape fits perfectly to my external female parts.  You can use both the silicone end and the plastic end for stimulation.  The motor is centered in the tip area of the silicone end and the vibrations do carry through the plastic also.

There are 4 buttons on the Siri, a + button, a - button, an up button and a down button.  To turn it on you push the + button. There really isn't a number for the vibrations.  It seems to just ramp up from a low to a high.  Pressing the up or down button will change the vibration patterns constant, long pulsations, short pulsations, a fast roller coaster, a slower roller coaster, and a chaotic mix of pulses and  vibrations.  Pressing the - button down for several seconds will turn the vibrator off.  The Siri doesn't have a memory, each time you turn it off you restart at the lowest setting.


The Siri's buttons light up when in use and when charging.  It takes approximately 2 hours to charge for about 2 hours of use at the highest setting.  Siri is actually really quiet, it definitely cannot be heard over the covers.  The vibrations are more rumbly than buzzy.  I would say that these vibrations fall at a high 3 to 4 level out of 5.


The drawback comes when you try to clean Siri, it is not water proof and it is not splash proof.  You have to pay attention to the charging port, the button and then you need to get the seam clean.   I have found that the fingernails and the toy wipes work the best.  You can use antibacterial soaps and water but you would be better off to have it on a moist wash cloth, you definitely don't want to place this one under running water.  You can also carefully spray it with your toy sprays.  You can wipe it down with a 10% bleach solution.

Siri comes with the same packaging as all the Lelo products.  The outer box with a picture of the product, an inner black box with a lift off lid.  Inside the box is the toy, the charger and a product booklet.  It does come with a warranty.

The Siri is a strong, rechargeable toy that works really great.  It is much more rumbly than the Nea by Lelo.  It is very, very similar in vibrations when compared to Mimi, but the  Mimi is also louder.  But the pain is the cleaning of the Siri and the fact that it is not water proof.

Mona 2


The Mona 2 By Lelo

Pro’s
Waterproof
Rechargeable
Buttery soft Silicone
Powerful Motor

Con’s
Covering on charging port




This one is quite impressive.  It is not that big and there are no textures.  It’s buttery soft silicone feels so good running up and down your body and toying with your erogenous zones.  It can be used for anal use but I have only used it for vaginal penetration.  It has no bells and whistles and no attachments.  It feels really good on the clitoris and the external areas.  My husband enjoys it on his scrotum.  The Mona 2 is really good for seeking out those G- spots and helping to achieve orgasms.

The silicone is buttery, velvety soft and it glides, there really isn’t any drag to it but you can use some water based lube if you want to.  The Silicone lube can ruin the finish on the silicone toys.  The silicone is hypoallergenic, latex and phthalates free.  It is non porous and cleans up easily with anti bacterial soaps and water, or toy sprays.  You cannot boil the Mona 2 or place it in the dishwasher as it will damage the motor.  Since the silicone is non porous you can use the Mona both anally and vaginally but be sure to properly sanitize it in between areas.  It comes in purple, pink and red.  It does have the seam where the plastic control area meets the silicone that can become an issue with cleaning.  The silicone really doesn't collect any lint or hairs.

The Mona 2 has a total length of  7 3/4 inches and has a largest  diameter of 1 1/4 inches and it tapers to a diameter of  1  inch.  Insertable length is 4 1/2  inches.  The control area is 3 inches.  There are no attachments.  The end of the control area contains the charging port with it’s cover.  The cover on the charging port is easily knocked off with use.

The motor is very powerful, I can compare this one to my beloved Uma. I still love Uma the best but, this one is very close.  It has a powerful motor and I have no issues with the button use.  But I really dislike the charging port cover on the end.  I am continually knocking it out of place.

The Mona 2 charges for approximately  2 hours for a charge lasting 4 hours of use and has a stand by time that has lasted me weeks.  The charging area is located at the end of the toy.  There are 4 buttons,  a + button a - button and an up and down arrow button.  To lock and unlock the toy you hit the + and - button at the same time for 3 seconds.  To turn the vibe on you hit the plus button.  To keep increasing the vibrations you just hold the + button.

 There are not true vibrations levels it just goes up in vibrations.  At it’s weakest it has a 1 vroom and it goes to a 4 vroom in no time.  There are then 8 patterns. Slower  pulsations, faster pulsations,  escalating pulsations, a low and high pulsation and then several different chaotic patterns.  This one is so quiet, you can barely tell that it is on.  At it’s highest levels you can hear a slight hum but no noise issues.

The motor has the vibrations more towards the insertion end of the Mona 2.  The vibrations do carry through the whole shaft.  When playing with this one in your hand, your hand can get tingly.

The Lelo packaging and presentation is great.  It feels as if you are receiving a wonderful gift.  There is an outer sleeve with product information on it.  The inner black box contains the Mona 2 nestled into it’s foam cut out and a separate area that contains the warranty card, product pamphlet, the charger and a storage bag.  I do use the fabric bag for storage of my Mona 2.



As a size comparison with the Ina 2.

I am very impressed with the power that the new Lelo "2"'s have they are a definite increase from the originals and they toys are real pleasers.  I still favor my Uma from Je Jou but this one is a close second.  It has rumbly vibrations that carry well though out the entire toy.  I am able to achieve some joyful moments and it puts a smile on my face.

I can easily rate this one a 5 out of 5.

Mia


Mia By Lelo

PRO’s

Discreet
Rechargable
Quiet
9 Levels of Vibrations
4 Patterns

CON’s
None



This is one small, rechargeable wonder.  I have found that I love my clit vibes and this one is a winner.

You can use it for clitoral stimulation, external labia stimulation, and on all of your own and your lover’s erogenous zones.  It is small but you could insert it a little ways for extra teasing.

Mia is made from smooth plastic that is non porous, hypoallergenic, latex and phthalates free.  It cleans up nicely with a damp washcloth with antibacterial soaps and water.  You can use your toy sprays or toy wipes.  It is not waterproofed though so be very careful not to saturate with cleaners or water.

The Mia is rechargeable with a usb port.  The Mia can be plugged in directly or there is a 6 inch cable included to charge it in the USB port.  It takes approximately 2 hours to fully charge it.  Mia will then run for 2 to 3 hours depending on the settings that you use.  Mia doesn’t hold her standby charge for a long period of time.  I had her on the night stand for approximately one week and the charge was almost completely gone.



Mia has 9 levels of vibrations, they range from low to very high,  Mia also has 4 patterns.  The patterns include a slow pulsation, fast pulsations, Hard solid pulses, and a roller coaster action.  Some of the vibrations are more buzzy than others but there are several settings which are quite satisfying.  With the 9 levels you can surely find one for you.

The Mia has a + button and a - button for controls.  Mia has a  locking function that when you push both buttons simultaneously the vibe control will lock, it unlocks in the same fashion.  To go through vibration setting you simply push the + button to go back to the previous setting you press the - button.  You have to cycle through the levels to turn the Mia off and there is no memory with this one.  To go to the patterns you simply press and hold the + button.

The Mia has an LED light that flashes white when it is charging.  It lights up when you hit the + button.  The light glows red when the battery is almost dead.

The Mia is very quiet and you can barely hear it from your crotch to your ear.  I am sitting here playing with it while writing this review and my husband is less than 6 feet from me and he cannot hear a thing.  It does get loud when you sit it on a solid surface.

Mia is actually 2 parts, the vibe and the cover.  The total length is 4 ½ inches long and has a diameter of 7/8ths inches.  There is a silver band in the area above the control buttons.

The Mia is very discreet.  It looks like a mascara container or a large lip stick.  It fits in nicely with all of the female stuff that us women drag around with us.  It is so quiet that I bet you could play with this one in some very  interesting places.  I would definitely travel with this one and I would bet that TSA would just think that it is a usb flash drive because it looks very similar to many that I have seen.

I really like to use my Mia, she has many setting and I have several that I like.  She is good to use alone, and with my dildo’s.  The vibrations are pinpointed down towards the tip and it is very satisfying.

Mia comes packaged in the basic black Lelo box with the  outer sleeve to let you know what is in the box.  You receive the product registrations card, warranty information, a lube sample and a satin storage bag.  You also receive the charging cable.

Mia deserves a 5 out of 5  a top performer on an any scale.
