Je Joue Mio Vibrating Cockring Review

I love a vibrating cock ring. While they don’t bring me all the way to orgasm, I don’t expect them to—very few toys can do that on their own. That’s a job for wands and clitoral vibes. This toy is designed not only to help with erectile issues but also to provide pleasure for both partners. There are several luxury versions on the market, and my advice for cock rings is to either go with a cheap, disposable one (under $10) or a high-end specialty model ($60–$150). The luxury versions are rechargeable, which will save you money in the long run and come with at least a one-year warranty.

A cock ring is a stretchy band (with the exception of rigid steel, wood, and glass) worn around the base of the penis shaft, or around both the shaft and the testicles. It works by trapping blood to make the penis harder and bigger. When he’s ready to orgasm, the experience can be longer, more powerful, and more pleasurable. If he has trouble getting or staying hard, a cock ring can help. If he experiences premature ejaculation, it can also assist his stamina. The vibrating versions can be used for his pleasure when worn upside down with the vibe against his perineum, or for her pleasure when worn upright to stimulate her clitoris and/or vulva with every thrust.

The Je Joue Mio: An Overview

The Je Joue Mio is a special toy. I’ve owned most of the rechargeable cock ring models in existence, and the Mio is arguably one of the best. The large surface area motor is strong, providing a mixture of rumbles and buzzes, and it has multiple patterns and speeds. It’s waterproof, has a simple and functional charging system, comes in black or purple, has a one-year warranty, and is stretchy enough to get on and off easily. The buttons are a bit tough to push, but I haven’t found this to be a major issue, unlike what I’ve read in some other reviews of Je Joue toys.

Vibrating cock rings are incredibly versatile:

1. You can use them as a vibrator on any external erogenous zone.
2. Slip one onto any full-size vibrator for an instant rabbit-style toy with dual stimulation. If you’re unsure about the material’s compatibility, you can slip a condom between the two surfaces.
3. Slip the ring over a couple of fingers to use it on either partner, regardless of gender, on any erogenous zone, including her clitoris during oral sex.
4. It helps with premature ejaculation or erectile dysfunction.
5. It can turn a softer erection into a rock-hard one.
6. It’s great for use after prostate surgery in conjunction with a pump.
7. It can be used as a chastity device.
8. It stimulates his perineum when the vibe is below the shaft.
9. It stimulates her clitoris with every thrust during intercourse.

Design and Materials

The Mio‘s ring is approximately 1.25 inches across when unstretched and up to 3 inches across when stretched, which is enough to accommodate both the shaft and the testicles. The motor is hidden in a flat surface that is 2 inches by 1 inch and 0.75 inches thick. An average-sized penis shouldn’t have trouble gently squeezing this toy on, but you can’t be too rough with it. While silicone is 100% body-safe and hypoallergenic, it is not as stretchy as TPR. I’ve had similar toys from other brands snap when putting them on a dildo.

The silicone is matte and has some drag, but a water-based lube will make it easy to put on and help avoid catching pubic hairs. It’s important to avoid silicone-based lube with silicone toys, as it can make the surface tacky and cause the toy to deteriorate.

Vibrations and Controls

As mentioned, the controls are a bit firm to push, but this prevents you from accidentally setting them off. The system uses three buttons on the very top of the ring: one to turn on and increase strength, a middle button to change patterns, and a third button to decrease strength and power off.

The center function button cycles through the following patterns:

• Steady vibration
• Quick escalating pulses
• Slow escalations
• Slow pulses
• Rapid pulses
• Medium pulses

It has five speeds for steady vibration and for each of the other five patterns. On high, it easily reaches an intensity of 4/5, but it is a bit noisy at a level of 2/5. It makes a distinct rumbly sound that is characteristic of all Je Joue toys.

Charging and Packaging

The charging system is quite simple. When you first get the Mio, you should charge it overnight. The included charger is a magnetic-type, a small plastic half-circle with two magnetic points that attach to the metal buttons on the top of the toy. A small red light will blink while charging and become steady when fully charged. About an hour of charging gives you a couple of hours of use on a steady high setting.

The Mio comes in a sweet box, like all Je Joue toys. Under a thin cardboard cover is a sturdy, black box marked only with the Je Joue logo. The toy is displayed in a plastic tray with a compartment for the charger and instruction booklet.

Cleaning and Care

The Mio is completely waterproof, so cleaning is simple. It can be submerged in antibacterial soap and water, or you can use a toy cleaner or even a 10% bleach solution. I prefer a mixture of warm water, antibacterial soap, and a few drops of tea tree and eucalyptus oils, as this concoction is not only antibacterial but also antifungal and antiviral. Cock rings are external toys, but they can still come into contact with fluids and are shared between partners, so it’s important to treat them like any other sex toy.

Personal Experience and Verdict

My experience with the Je Joue Mio has been fantastic. As a “power queen,” it doesn’t get me off when attached to a penis, but with a strength of 4/5, it will for many women. It’s not as quiet as some other vibrating cock rings, but the rumbling sound is by design.

My male partners absolutely love it. I get them to help me put it on; unless they are very girthy, they’ll want to put it around both their shaft and testicles. They can’t get enough of the vibe on their perineum, and before putting it on, I run it over the corona (head) and frenulum (the super-sensitive spot underneath the head). We play with the patterns but usually agree that a steady high setting is the most favorable.

I’ve used the Mio as an introduction to vibration, and it has always been well-received. A cock ring is less intimidating than a huge phallic vibrator. If a man is hesitant, I recommend focusing on the vibrating aspect and mentioning how it can lead to better orgasms. I like to slip the ring over my index and middle fingers and run it over his nipples, then down to his testicles and perineum, and finally along his shaft and around the head. This is usually enough to convince him to try it on. It can also liven up missionary or doggy style with added clitoral stimulation, which can help you reach orgasm faster.

I should note that I own eight Je Joue vibrating toys, and in three years, I have not had a single problem with any of them. If your Mio ever stops working due to a manufacturing issue, it is covered by a one-year warranty. This, along with the fact that silicone lasts much longer than TPR, means you can count on this versatile toy to last many times longer than cheaper versions, saving you money in the long run.
