I was speaking with Kimberly Scott Faubel, the Director of Operations at Clandestine Devices, about their awesome item MIMIC.
I let her know how I was disappointed that customers and bloggers alike seemed to have the same feedback: They liked the appearance and functionality of MIMIC, but it lacked power.
Her passionate response made my heart sing with so much joy that I felt the need to share it with you all <3

Here’s an honest breakdown of why I am confident in this product, and why I moved my life to help build this new brand and our flagship vibrator:
Yes, it’s true, the MIMIC is an easy pass for power-hungry users. If a guest is looking for the likes of the Magic Wand, they will not be satisfied with the MIMIC. So, bloggers and reviewers that boast about RUMBLY vibes could potentially judge this book by its cover and pass on it. Hell, they could even use it and decide, “Nope! Not for me!” Our genitals are like snowflakes, there is not “one ring to rule them all!”
We did not make the MIMIC for power-queens and kings. We made the MIMIC for everyone else. The MIMIC fills a void (albeit, not internally lol) for those looking for a provocative piece that is still pretty damn powerful. “Rumbly?” I guess not – and it wasn’t for lack of trying. See, the size and shape are a homerun for us and we couldn’t achieve the power and battery life/ charging time we wanted without compromising one or both of those. When someone (LIKE ME) uses a bullet (like a little battery one or even the popular rechargeables) it’s a hassle to hold… it slips if I use lube with it, in a bad way, and it makes my fingers numb. Not once have I (or many of the other satisfied beta testers) had those issues with the MIMIC.
What about something pretty? We hit the nail on the head with that one – and it’s pretty FOR A REASON. The shape truly does feel good to hold! And, the other good news? USE IT FROM ANY ANGLE YOU WANT! Sure, we made the MIMIC to be held a certain way, but we all know that the randy folks breaking their new toy out of the box will find the best way to use it for themselves. We don’t have to teach them how to use it, but it helps to know how it was crafted and which functions were in mind to develop its unique shape.
The MIMIC fits behind and stays put in a harness better than a bullet, covers more surface area than a bullet, is soft for those who avoid hard plastic and don’t want a numb hand and still firm for those who avoid jelly toys (which should be everyone because those are mostly awful and bad for you…)
The MIMIC can serve as a lay-on vibrator, nipple teaser, perineum stimulator, BJ assistant, ball tickler, neck massager, pool toy… Seriously though, the versatility that stems from the shape and flexibility of the MIMIC is what makes up for it not being able to vibrate through callouses.
Power queens, back off, this is for the rest of us.
