What is the appeal of bullet vibes? Am I missing something?

Contributor: spiceboy spiceboy
When folks here on EF talk about their preferred methods of getting off I get the sense that bullet vibes are the go to solution for most people. I must admit... I don't see their appeal. For clitoral stimulation prolonged vibrations are just numbing and not all that exciting to me. I much prefer my hand so I can get in there and handle business. Maybe I'm misunderstanding how they're used. If you love bullet vibes clue me in! What's so great about them?

I love the strong clitoral vibrations. They are great for a real quickie. It literally only takes me about 3-4 minutes to get off when I use a bullet.

Well for me bullets are my favorite toy, but I don't find them numbing. Like you had said, but one thing you need to keep in mind is that every women has a diffident body and different levels of sensitivity.If you have a sensitive clit a bullet could be overwhelming,But I love the strong vibrations and it took some time for me to learn how to get myself off. So if you still want to try a bullet try a low power and keep playing with it.

While bullet vibes ARE strong, i think most people are drawn to them because of their versatility. In addition to being a small, compact, discreet, and strong vibrator, you can use them in so many other ways, like in toys.

You're not alone. Bullets have never seemed practical to me unless they were to insert in a dildo. Their shape isn't ergonomic or friendly to me. No thanks. I'm more attracted to the alternative clit vibes that are more ergonomically shaped like MiMi or Siri.

I don't like the shape of bullet-bullets very much, but I love more ergononic small external vibrators. My Tango feels great, but I prefer MiMi because she's more comfortable to hold onto.

I think it's really anatomy and preferences.

My hand does absolutely nothing for me. I mean, I can feel it, sure, but it's as erotic and stimulating as touching my eyelid, haha.

wondered the same thing, why go small when you could have a whole toy?

Hey, sometimes small works.

But truthfully, I'm not so crazy about bullets, mainly because of their shape. I can certainly orgasm with one, but if I'm going to go with something basic, a traditional vibe is easier to hold.

For me, I need strong clitoral stimulation to orgasm. This is why I tend to go for bullets.

Yes, this is my opinion on them as well. Like many other things, they're not for everyone.

And here I was thinking I was the only one who thought this. I have four bullet vibes and they're probably the least appealing items in my toy box. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

I find them better with a partner than alone, it's so easy to just leave them in pretty much the same place and get lazy, haha.
