Studio collection Sexy secrets compact with bullet - bullet discontinued by The Screaming O - review by apetnamedjenny

This product from Screaming O is simply a high intensity bullet vibrator hidden within a relatively discreet compact case. The bullet is intended mainly for clitoral stimulation, but does have a small insertable length for vaginal play. If you decided to use it this way, be careful because the vibrator is very small and could be difficult to retrieve. This toy is absolutely not for anal play, because it does not have a flared base.
Overall though, this toy is extremely easy to use. With just one button for operation, and strong but not overpowering vibrations, so it's perfectly suited for beginners, but at the same time I can't imagine why an advanced user would be opposed to carrying this around in their purse.

Also, the small, simple, easy to use design means that it's also great to use with many other toys (so long as they don't cover where you're using this toy).

This toy is absolutely fantastic for anyone who likes to have a vibrator on hand at all times. The case is not very discreet, but it would easily pass for a compact at first glance in your purse(More coming on that later).

The packaging claims that the vibrator is waterproof, and it did pass a quick test in the shower. However something about the toy made me feel uncomfortable. I'm just not convinced that it's perfectly waterproof, and likely won't make water play a regular activity with this vibrator. Granted, I don't have any tangible reason for this, more just a sneaky suspicion.

This vibrator is made from a plastic which is food-grade material, hypo-allergenic (possibly a huge plus for certain users), latex free (another plus for those with allergies) and it is free of phthalates. Eden Fantasies rates this as an 8 on the safety scale. This means that it can be sanitized easily, and is compatible with silicone based lubes. Well, that's what the package and website say, however they make no distinction between the plastic of the toy, and the plastic of the case. I suppose we have to assume they're made of the same stuff.

The plastic of the case is very smooth, hard and glossy. The bullet itself though is a different story. It has a very smooth almost soft velvety texture, nothing fancy but still extremely pleasing especially when used with a drop of lube. There was no real taste to this product, and the mild plastic smell faded away soon after it was out of the package.

The whole point of this toy is its discreet design. The compact is specifically made as a carrying case/storage for the vibrator. It looks like a normal compact and is the same size as a normal compact (about 3" wide x 2.5" long, however it did seem a little thick for a compact) but when it is opened up you can lift the bottom panel to reveal the bullet. Note that this bottom panel does not have room for makeup, but is just a flat piece of black plastic. Under this panel, the vibrator sits nestled in a foam shell along with three extra batteries. Be careful not to lose this loose piece of foam because otherwise the vibrator won't fit in the compact snugly. Both the outside clasp and the inside panel closed securely for us, so no need to worry about your toy falling out at just the wrong time. One complaint many have about this compact is the fact it has 'Screaming O' printed on the outside of the compact. Yes this is a pain and something of a giveaway, but it's not written in huge block letters like I said, so it can easily pass a once over.

Also be careful, the mirror in this compact is incredibly cheap and just terrible. You really won't be able to check your appearance in it, it was like a mirror at a carnival attraction.

The design of the vibrator itself is nothing extraordinary. It's a very standard vibrator. It's about 2.5" long and about 3/4" in diameter. It is rounded on both ends, with a bright red button on one end to control the various functions. There is a seam in the middle that comes apart when twisted to reveal the battery compartment. The 'Screaming O' logo is also printed in red on the vibrator. Don't worry though, so far this has not worn off even in the slightest. Since the controls are based on one button, you must press it several times to cycle through the functions. So you need to go through all the speeds to turn if back off. The simplicity of the bullet means there's not many more details to report on it, but that's partly what makes this vibrator so great! It's simple, clean, easy to use, and something very handy to have on you at all times.

The color scheme and design of both is very attractive and elegant on both the vibrator and the compact. It's just that the compact is made from less expensive materials than the bullet, or so it seems.

Finally, performance! This is where this little guy shines! Despite its small size this little bullet certainly has all the power we need. It has five different setting: off, low, medium, high, and a constant pulsating. While we tried all of them, my girlfriend really only needs the medium setting to achieve orgasm. The low setting is good for constant simulation over a period of time, but anything higher is likely to get you off in no time! Also, the vibrations are most heavily concentrated in the tip of the vibrator away from the controls like most bullets, making it that much easier to use.

Noise wasn't that much of an issue either. With the radio on and legs closed, I couldn't even hear this vibrator on its medium setting from a few feet away. I would safely say that it can be discreetly used in public so long as there's some constant background noise, for instance in the car, or in a restaurant, etc.. However, it might be too loud for any quieter situations.

It performed as well as ever in the shower.

The high safety rating of the plastic this vibrator is made of makes it a breeze to clean. Warm soap and water do the trick as with most toys, or feel free to use a multipurpose toy cleaning wipe/spray. Furthermore, the fact it isn't made from silicone means that it can be used with any lube you desire.

The only issue people may have with maintenance is the watch batteries it uses for power. Of course watch batteries are not rare or anything, but more of a nuisance to get a hold of than AA's. However, it comes with 3 extra watch batteries to hold you over for a little while!

The packaging was quite stylish, better than the normal flimsy cardboard with a naughty picture and a few product details that you expect with a sex toy. Still though, it's nice but nothing you would ever plan on keeping. Also the packaging is very clear about it's contents, so no need to be leaving it out in the open. The packaging would be inconvenient at best to use for storage, and it was not designed for that purpose anyway so I would advise against it strongly. The packaging would not be terrible to give this as a gift though(unless whoever you want to give this to is easily embarrassed). It's on par with most other product packaging and not nearly as blatant as some sex toy packages.

Personally, my girlfriend loves having this in her purse, and often pulls it out during car rides either just to tease me, or to get herself all riled up for some play time as soon as we get home. Even though it's intended for travel and discreet use we even use this at home sometimes, we like the bullet that much! Soon we'll be using this for much more public play, probably starting with a trip to a nice restaurant!
