Je Joue recently sent me several sex toys to review with my partner. This review is one of four to come.

The Mio Vibrating Cock Ring is one of the more attractive cock rings on the market. It’s pretty and doesn’t necessarily ‘look’ like a sex toy. If you haven’t noticed, that’s something that a lot of brands are trying to do lately. Here are some stats:

Generally speaking, I don’t review products that are heavily gendered like Je Joue can be. I see lots of sex educators partnering with them, though, and wanted to see how accessible these toys are.

Unfortunately, the answer is not very accessible at all.

The Good

The patterns are nice. They allow for a change in intensity that other cock rings may not offer.

It’s pretty! And it’s soft…

The Bad

Although, that softness means it picks up every single hair within a 5-mile radius. These really should have come with bags.

This toy is really thick where the motor is. That combined with the ungodly amount of stretch in this toy means it’s almost impossible to keep it on, especially around both the base of the penis and testicles. A less plasticized silicone should have been used here.

While all the Je Joue toys charge via USB, not all chargers can be used with all toys. Therefore, you really have to keep the charger and toy together. That’s just not feasible for most people.

At $109, this is an expensive cock ring. Because of the cost, it’s out of the reach of a lot of people.

The Even Worse

Je Joue has an app that you can use to control their toys. The problem is this app is basically unusable. It crashes, disconnects from toys, and isn’t user-friendly. It’s hard to tell which setting you’re on without the app, too. With some settings, it’s easier to tell by the very buzzy sound than by feel.

There are a ton of reviews of how bad the app is and yet there seems to be no focus on improving it. All this despite the fact that they boast about the app!

Without the app, it’s very hard to change settings while the Mio is in use. Even when it’s not, it’s hard to change through the settings. The buttons aren’t very easy to use. They’re also placed where they will pick up every hair and any amount of liquid. The seam being placed where it is does the same thing while also making it a little uncomfortable for everyone involved.

The Verdict?

Quite frankly, I haven’t touched the Mio since we tested it. It’s gone in the misfit bag of sad sex toys where it will forever stay.
