Thumbs up for this thumb-sized toy
For someone who is new to vibrators and sex toys in general, I would highly recommend this; it's basically the definition of what a bullet vibrator is. More experienced toy users might want to opt for something more interesting or a toy that is more battery-efficient.Published: October 18, 2011
Pros:
Small, quiet, discreet
Cons:
watch batteries, buzzy, can be loud
A friend of mine with her own vast array of toys gave me her Iconic Bullet, a toy she never used or even opened. She overlooked it, thinking it was one of those cheap toys that doesn't do much. She was wrong.
With three intensity levels, this toy had a wide range of power. The first setting, next to my skin, offered a tickling sensation more than anything else. the third setting was too intense for me, but it's not that it was painful so much as it was numbing. The medium setting, however, was fantastic, it felt strong, even through my underwear and jeans.
I'm no expert on sex toys, but I don't think vibrators get much smaller than this. It's approximately the size of my thumb and I can hide it just about anywhere: an obscure pocket in my purse, under the mattress, behind the junk in my stationery drawer. It even fits in a pill bottle, giving a whole new meaning to the statement "I'm going to go take my medicine." Additionally, as you can tell from the pictures, it's quite nondescript in appearance. This is perhaps the only toy I wouldn't mind leaving on my desk, because unless my roommates went over to it and started to play with it, they wouldn't be able to tell it's a sex toy.
Along with being discreet in appearance and size, it's also very quiet. The first setting probably would not be heard from under the covers and the second setting couldn't be heard through a door. The third setting would probably be heard through a door if the door were thin or had a significant gap in the bottom of it, as my door has.
By itself, the toy did not bring me to bring me to orgasm, but I think that has to do with the fact that this toy has buzzy vibrations, like that of an electric toothbrush, while I prefer toys with deeper, "rumbly" types of vibrations. However, I did get some pleasure when using it along with my hand (as opposed to just the toy alone).
Overall, I would say using this toy has been a pleasant experience so far. However, watch are expensive (and the iconic bullet requires three), so I think I am going to retire this toy when its batteries run out and put my money towards something else.

Experience
Be careful when using this in tight or awkward spaces. If the bullet touches a hard surface, it WILL be heard, as it is made of a hard plastic material. I dropped it into onto the floor (uncarpeted) and it made this horrible noise for a good 15-20 seconds as I crawled down to get it.

So when it comes to vibrators as a gift??? Which ones do you feel are the most appropriate for a newbie when it comes to sex-toys?? They are very interested in getting into them!! But they want to start off slowly if you know what I mean?? I appreciate your answers and help in advance.

The Iconic is a great idea, in my opinion, because it comes in a very classy box and doesn't seem too daunting in size or color.
I hope this helps! -

How far is it safe to put this inside you before it gets stuck? Since it does not have a retrieval cord.

As long as you are not putting it in your butt, it can't get lost nor stuck. Your vagina is not an endless cavern. Just bare-down and reach in and grab it. No big deal. It is waterproof.

Thank you for viewing Iconic bullet – bullet vibrator review page!
Good review and an interesting perspective. From what you've said about your needs and the type of vibrations that you like, you might want to put the Mimi on your list.
I never had any luck getting one that worked for more than a few days, but it's discreet, has rumbly vibrations, and is quiet for the strength!

Great review! The only question I have would be what material is it made of. Always one of the first things I look for in reviews.
Thanks for taking the time to share your review with us.
Hi, AngelvMaynard!
It's a hard plastic material, so it doesn't bend and it rattles when it's on a hard surface. On the plus side, it's not porous, so it's very easy to clean!
Types of batteries? How many batteries? (I have some bullets that use watch batteries and some that use AAA and I think one that uses AA).
Hi, TexasMama.
According to the main page for the Iconic Bullet, the toy takes three watch batteries. Unfortunately, they're pretty expensive where I live - about eight dollars for two.
sucks about the batteries, it makes this product practically disposable
Nice review
Nice review. I like the look of their iconic line, though I doubt I'd invest in any of the pieces. My favorite was the Iconic Duckie, but they got rid of him
Thanks for the review.
Thanks for sharing!

Gah, watch batteries. Thanks for the review!
