Good bang for your buck...

I was really impressed by this vibrator. To start off, it is VERY affordable and comes with two sets of batteries - something nice to have around when a small vibe like this does not take AA or AAA batteries. I am somewhat new to vibrators. I have had a bullet and rabbit style one before, but this by far beats them both out in every category. It is small - a bit smaller than I expected, but don't let that trick you into thinking it will be a problem.

It has a really nice, smooth texture. Does not have a weird smell like many inexpensive vibrators, and is not made of any of the more dangerous materials to be avoided. Works great with a little bit of water-based lube.

I think the size and shape of this is perfect. It is small and the vibrations are definitely concentrated at the tip. Simple and cute. It doesn't have any realistic detailing or a bunny face or anything so would be a great gift to someone not as comfortable with over the top toys. This would be excellent to travel with! It could fit in your pocket or into your purse easily.

The vibrations seem to be concentrated towards the tip. It is a little bit noisy, not something you could use with a roommate nearby without a bit of music or a shower running, but either of those would certainly be enough to cover the noise.

There are 5 settings of vibration. I think the idea with the first two is they are both an unchanging intensity with no pulsations; however, I honestly can not feel the difference between the first two. I would assume the second one is supposed to be the stronger of the two, but I can't really feel a difference.

The next 3 settings are varying pulsations. The first is a slower, even pulse; second, a faster, even pulse, and last, a "quick slow quick slow" pulse pattern. This is my first vibe with a pulsating function, and it's GREAT! Very fun to change between them. I had multiple O's the first time I used it! However, this one could definitely be improved by having a few more choices in pulses and strengths. I would have liked at least one of them to be a tiny bit stronger. Not a bad range of selection for such an inexpensive vibe though! And regardless, it made for AMAZING "me time." I can't wait to use it with my boyfriend!

Settings are changed with a small button on the end. Changing settings is simple.

I'm uneasy testing toys in too much direct water flow because my last bullet seemed to have met its death this way, despite being "waterproof." However, it is stated that it is waterproof, so I would not be too worried bringing it into the shower every once in a while. Just always check that the top is twisting on all the way and check up on it to make sure water isn't leaking in.

I cleaned this with a regular antibacterial soap and water. Cleaning was easy, the material is smooth and wipes easily. I used a water-based lube with good results. There is no silicone in this, but I avoid silicone lube in general because I do have silicone toys and don't want to have to worry about accidentally using the wrong thing.

There weren't really any instructions, but I don't think you would need them. It's pretty straightforward and batteries are already inside the vibe, you simply twist it to open it up and remove the paper slip. All that's inside the box is the vibrator, extra batteries, and a bit of cheap packing material. Box isn't very pretty or anything you'd want to hold on to, but it's not horrible considering the cost.

I'm really pleased with the Speeding Bullets Armor Piercing vibe in general. I am on a tight budget and being able to buy such a great toy for so little money is a real treat. I'd highly recommend this to someone who hasn't had a vibrator before, or who isn't sure if they want to spend a lot of money yet. It's small, convenient, easy to travel with, not TOO loud, easy to use, and has multiple settings. On the downside, it leaves some room for improvement with a variety of settings and strengths.

Nothing but good times so far!
