I got this bullet as a freebie with a previous order. It's definitely better than some of the other freebie toys I've gotten in the past (remember the Twisted Hearts?) but is not without flaws...

This toy is clearly intended to be a step up from those little $10 silver bullets (which I will always have abiding fondness for, despite the fact they break easily). Honestly, there is no middle ground between a cheap bullet and my beloved Lelo Nea as far as I'm concerned- a few extra patterns will not dramatically improve the bullet experience for me. However, what won me over about this toy was the shape- it did nothing for my g spot, but the pointed tip did feel great on my clit.

This toy has two components- the corded bullet, and the console battery pack. The whole shebang features a delightfully 80's-licious color combo of purple and lime green. Most of my toys are purple anyway, so this one fit right in. The bullet is 3.5" long, 1" diameter, and is made of PU coated ABS plastic that is velvety and matte, and feels a bit like matte silicone. The bullet curves up into a point at the tip. The bullet can be cleaned with soap and water, and is compatible with all lubes. It does not come with a storage pouch, nor is it very discreet looking.

The control pack/battery pack runs on 2 AA batteries, and offers the same intense power you'd expect from a bullet vibe that runs on 2 AAs. However, unlike the typical bullet, the variable speed is not controlled by dial, but with a fancy console with an on/off button, and clearly labeled by up/down speed buttons and "mode" (pattern) buttons. The whole console lights up like Christmas with red and green lights when you turn it on, which are kind of obnoxiously bright. The number of the ten red light circles lit indicates the speed, while the four green light circles show you which pattern you're using. This is a nice visual indicator to know if you've reached maximum power. However, these lights are ridiculously bright, and they blink, which I find visually distracting. Here's an example of how bright they are: while using this toy on my bed in my dark bedroom, the circle of red lights from the console projected a literal 3 foot circle of red light onto my bedroom ceiling, as if I were paging some perverted superhero to come get me off. It's THAT BRIGHT. The toy says that it's capable of 35 speeds, but I'm not entirely sure how that's supposed to work. The ten little red circles that light up 2 at a time as you press the speed up button. However, the buttons are extremely sensitive, and I had it jump from 2 to 10 dots with one press of the button. Yikes. Once you've got your preferred intensity selected, you can choose from 4 vibration patterns: straight buzz, pulse, fast pulse, alternating pulse speeds, 3 short 1 long pulse, a long series of pulse followed by a long straight buzz. An additional green circle lights up as you progress through the patterns. I guess the idea of 35 levels hinges on the idea of combining permutations of patterns with speeds, (js250 actually breaks down all 35 permutations in her review) but personally I enjoy maximum speed speed straight buzz only, so this variety isn't really a selling point for me.

I realize that the curve is most likely intended for G Spot stimulation, and this toy is insertable. However, I generally need more girth and thrusting to have a G-spot orgasm, and this toy is much to short for that. I prefer a big bulbous head to really get into my G Spot, a tiny pinpoint can't really do much for me in that regard. However, I do love this pinpoint tip for clitoral stimulation, as I need very concentrated and powerful stimulation to have any orgasm. So this vibe is meh for G Spotting, but absolutely wonderful for clitoral stimulation.

My main complaint about this toy besides the insanely bright/spazzy console is that the cord is quite fussy and has a tendency to short out the vibe if I move or jiggle it during play. This is a big reason I've switched to using cordless, rechargeable vibes.

All in all, it's a perfectly nice bullet vibe, but I'd be equally happy with the original silver bullet.

While this is a decent vibe, it's not going to replace my Nea. The fact that the cord has a tendency to cut out vibrations is a major downside for me, too.
