This is the story of how my Je Joue MiMi freaked out and died on me, and the lengthy process of receiving a replacement from Je Joue. Read my review of the MiMi here.
March 5
I take a bath with my MiMi for 10-15 minutes, in which I do the usual things: submerge it, put it on my clit, change settings.
After my bath, I make spaghetti, watch the first disc of Schindler’s List, and go to work in the bedroom. Then suddenly, there is a very loud ruckus in the living room — it sounds like a huge ball rolling around destructively.
It is the MiMi having a freakout on my desk. After much wrassling, I am finally able to turn it off. But that is just the beginning.
March 6
Things get progressively worse, and the MiMi completely dies. I email Je Joue and explain in detail.
I need your help. My MiMi is going crazy. I took it in the bath last night for 10-15 minutes. Four hours later, it turned itself on out of nowhere and started cycling through different settings on its own. It would only sometimes respond to me pushing the buttons. I finally turned it off, and it turned itself back on. More wrestling, and I finally got it off again. This morning, I turned it on. It seemed fine at first, until I turned it off. Then it turned itself on and began cycling through random settings again, and was again very difficult to control or turn off. I charged it (even though it was fully charged before the bath), and now it is not even turning on.
Je Joue responds saying they’ve never heard of this happening. They promise a replacement, but only once I send my dead one.
March 22
After much emailing and delays, my dead MiMi is finally picked up.
April 12
Upon returning from a vacation, I find that there is still no replacement MiMi waiting for me. I email Je Joue and am told that only the rose color is in stock, and I’ll have to wait until April 25 if I want black. Goddamnit, I want black, so I tell her I’ll wait.
May 12
Still no replacement, so I email Je Joue asking for the status on it. No response.
May 19
Fellow sex blogger Adriana emails me.
the UPS man delivered a package with your name on it to my address. I was quite confused. It’s from Je Joue and I figure it’s for you as I shouldn’t be receiving anything from them.
Um… yeah. And the only reason Adriana knew it was for me is because she knows my real name. If the package were sent to a different blogger, I’d be completely in the dark.
So Adriana is forced to mail the box to me.
May 23
I email Je Joue to tell them about this mix-up. I ask that they please reply and confirm that they have my address listed correctly in their records. No reply. Ever.
