Iconic bullet - bullet vibrator by Jimmyjane - review by Goth

The Iconic Bullet packs a nice punch for it's small size. Looking like an over sized pill or even maybe an Apple accessory, this vibe is perfect for those who require discretion. At first glance one might not even be able to tell this is a sex toy. It's small size makes it perfect for clitoral stimulation, and even nipple stimulation as well if you prefer that. I would not recommend this for vaginal use due to the small size and would definitely NOT recommend this for anal use either. With no flare it can easily be sucked up and lost, resulting in a trip to the ER.

Also, due to the small size and power, this vibe would be perfect for couples, those new to toys, and even advanced users of toys who want a good, solid bullet to add to their collection.

The Iconic Bullet is made of plastic and is therefore compatible with any and all lubricants. It has a water seal ring as well meaning you can take this little guy into the shower with you. Just do make sure the cap is screwed on tightly to prevent any leakage into the unit. The plastic is durable and carries the vibrations well, and the outside is smooth and textureless, free of any seams that may cause discomfort. It is also odorless right out of the package. So far through use it hasn't retained any odors, either.

As stated before, this bullet looks like an over sized pill you'd get from your doctor or an accessory Apple might make. It's all white, including the button at the bottom and the water seal ring. It's small, about 2 1/4 inches long with a diameter of about 5/8 an inch, making it the perfect size to store and hide. It fits nicely in the palm of your hand, is smooth, hard, and durable. However, if your hands are full of lube, it may be a little hard to have a firm grip on this toy due to the fact it's so smooth. It's perfect for the shower thanks to the water seal ring, but again, if things get wet and slippery, you might end up dropping this vibe. Also, due to the size, its perfect in use for clitoral stimulation during sex as it won't get in the way.

This vibrator takes 3 AG13 watch batteries. If you don't have a store near you that supplies them, this can be a problem. To be a further disappointment, this vibe is a battery guzzler. I need to put in fresh batteries after about anywhere from 5 to 15 uses, depending on how long I had it on and on what settings. I highly suggest that if you purchase this vibe, look for watch batteries to buy in bulk. It will save you on money, time, and any aggravation in trying to find batteries in the first place. I suggest Ebay for this.

There are only 3 settings, low, medium, and high, all focused more at the tip of the vibe, but the plastic carries them throughout the body of the toy. Low is fairly low and quiet, and those who are very sensitive might get off on this without any problems. Medium is a notch higher and I think a more general setting for women, and then high is even higher and for those who need lots of power. Typically the medium setting is perfect for me. After the third setting, the vibe shuts off. What I didn't like is that you have to scroll through all the levels of power just to shut it off, so it makes turning it off in a hurry a real pain, especially if you're trying not to be caught.

Do note, however, that these vibrations are more of the 'buzzy' kinda than the deep penetrating kind. If you want deep vibrations this toy may not be for you. Also, it gets louder with each setting. On low I couldn't hear it through a closed door, but as I turned the settings up, I could hear them better. At high on top of a bed one can for sure hear the vibrator if they were to walk by. However, it's almost impossible to hear when used in the shower, even on high. I would say this is discreet if you live in a house with people if you keep music on in the room or take it to the shower, but if you have a roommate in the same room as you it can be heard under the covers with the higher settings.

Being that this vibe is plastic, all you need to do is wash it with soap and water. Do not boil this toy as it has mechanical parts and may damage it. Toy cleaner wipes will work as well. I also suggest removing the batteries after use to prevent any battery acid leakage and to prolong the life of the batteries as well. And due the fact it's made of plastic, all lubricants are compatible with this vibe and are easy to wash off after use.

The Iconic Bullet comes in a small little box, reminding me somewhat of a perfume box. A picture of the vibe is on the front, complete with the name of the vibe and the company name. It looks very classy and would more than likely be a nice presentation as a gift to someone. The vibe sits inside, plastic wrapped, and also comes with a set of batteries. The instructions are easy to read and pretty straight forward. My only qualm is the fact the plastic is so tight against the bullet I was afraid of cutting into it with a razor blade to get it out. You could also reuse the package as storage for the bullet if you really wanted to.

I love this vibe. Ever since my old waterproof vibe broke, I was on the hunt for a replacement. I was leery due to the price and the fact I'd have to start buying tons of watch batteries again, but I am glad I made the purchase. It's just enough power for me to get off on, and due to the size it's perfect to use in conjunction with a dildo. I also love the fact I can take it in the shower with me and use silicone lube on it without any worries. I have yet to have any problems with this product at all and with proper care and storage I'm sure it will last a long time. I would have given 5 stars except the fact it eats batteries like crazy. But I guess that's to be expected with how powerful it is.
