Design and materials
The Mina Surge is constructed from silicone, which is firm enough to hold its shape while remaining body-safe and non-porous when properly cleaned. The overall length is 23.8cm, with an insertable portion of 13.2cm and a shaft diameter of 3.7cm. The base sits at 3.28cm in diameter, designed to stay in place during use without needing to be worn in a harness—hence the "strapless" designation.
The device is rated IPX6 waterproof, which means it can withstand water spray and is safe to rinse under running water. This makes cleaning straightforward and allows use in the shower or bath if desired. The compact proportions suit a range of body types and experience levels, and the silicone finish is non-textured and smooth throughout.
What it's like to use
The Mina Surge is controlled via a wireless remote that uses a CR2032 battery (supplied separately). The device itself houses a rechargeable lithium-polymer battery (3.7V), so you'll need to charge it before first use via a USB connection.
There are three distinct thrusting modes and ten vibrating patterns to choose from, powered by three separate motors working in combination. This gives you flexibility to explore different sensations and find your preference. The remote allows you to adjust settings without interrupting the moment, and switching between thrusting and vibration—or combining them—is straightforward. The strapless design means it relies on positioning and the base's diameter to stay in place, so comfort during use will depend partly on how your body accommodates the insertable length and shaft width.
Battery life and charge time are not specified in the product information, so it's worth checking with the retailer for those details before purchasing.
Cleaning and care
Silicone is one of the easiest materials to clean. Simply rinse the device under warm running water with mild soap, paying attention to seams and the base where moisture can collect. The IPX6 waterproof rating means the electronics are sealed, so you can clean thoroughly without worry. Pat dry with a soft cloth and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Before first use and periodically thereafter, a more thorough clean using a toy cleaner or antibacterial soap is recommended. Do not immerse the charging port or remote in water, and avoid high-temperature environments or storage that could degrade the silicone over time.
Buy it if
You're interested in a strapless option that doesn't require wearing or adjusting a harness. The three thrusting modes set this apart from vibration-only designs, and if you want the convenience of remote control and multiple stimulation patterns, the Mina Surge covers both bases. It's also a good fit if you prefer a more compact, portable design that still delivers meaningful sensation. The silicone construction and waterproof rating make it practical for different environments and easy to keep clean.
Skip it if
You need a device that can be securely fastened for hands-free use over extended periods, as strapless designs rely on positioning and may shift depending on movement and fit. If you're sensitive to silicone or prefer other materials, this won't be suitable. Also pass if you want a corded or battery-free option, as recharging is required before use.
The bottom line
The Mina Surge is a practical, well-rounded choice for anyone curious about or experienced with strapless strap-ons who values ease of use and variety. The combination of thrusting and vibrating modes gives you options to experiment with, and the remote control keeps things simple. Silicone and waterproof construction mean it's durable and straightforward to maintain. Pricing varies between retailers, so it's worth comparing to find the best deal for your budget.
Frequently asked questions
How do I charge the Mina Surge?
The device has a built-in rechargeable lithium-polymer battery and charges via USB. The remote uses a separate CR2032 battery, which you'll need to source independently.
Can I use it in water?
Yes, the Mina Surge is rated IPX6 waterproof, so it's safe to use in the shower, bath or rinse under running water. However, avoid submerging the charging port or remote.
Does it require a harness or strap to stay in place?
No, the strapless design means it doesn't need a harness. It relies on positioning and the base diameter to stay in place, though fit and comfort depend on individual anatomy.
What's the difference between the thrusting and vibrating modes?
The device has three thrusting modes (mechanical in-and-out motion) and ten vibrating patterns (oscillation), each powered by separate motors. You can use them independently or combined.
Is silicone body-safe?
Silicone is non-porous, hypoallergenic, and body-safe when properly cleaned and from a reputable manufacturer. It's one of the most commonly recommended materials for this category of product.
