Not as basic as it looks

I got this vibrator when I signed up for the Eden newsletter. I had no experience with vibrators and expected something suitable for a beginner. The first time I used this I was extremely put off by how strong it was. It took me a long time to try again. I do not recommend this toy to first-time vibrator users. If you are looking for something that is easy going, do not try this one first. If you enjoy very strong vibrations then I would definitely suggest this vibe since it is also very cheap.

Use

This vibrator is best kept on surface areas. It can be inserted, but the cord attaching the bullet to the battery pack should not be pulled on as it is delicate and may break easily. I read an account where someone's creative approach to overcoming the cord pulling issue was to put the bullet in a condom and, when removing, pulled on the condom rather than the cord. I find this to be a good clit stimulator, though. It also works well on nipples. Even on its lowest setting, the vibrations are a little too powerful to be comfortable using anywhere except to stimulate erogenous zones. It is good for solo play and I imagine it would be a good toy to tease someone with.

Material / Texture

This toy is made of plastic. It is non-porous and does not contain phthalates. The toy is cool upon first touch, but not uncomfortably so. It has no smell and is very smooth, which makes it rather slippery, especially if lube is used. There is a slit in the middle of the bullet that can be felt with your fingertips, but will not distract or irritate when using the toy. The texture is very firm and the vibrations pass through it very easily.
    • Rigid
    • Smooth

Design / Shape / Size

The cord attaching the bullet to its battery pack can get tangled but allows the battery pack/control to rest elsewhere than in your hand or near the bullet itself.

The oval shape of the bullet makes it hard to hold. It’s just small enough, and just round enough, that you need to keep a good grip on it, especially as it tapers down at the ends. It is hard to hold it in place with more than two fingers, and even two is a challenge.

As it is small, the bullet can easily be moved around the clit. It does not have to be held a specific way to be effective. The toy's overall size is small enough that it can be easily concealed therefore making it an ideal toy for travel as it could easily fit in a carry-on.

Functions / Performance / Controls

This vibrator, though small and simple, has extremely powerful vibrations. Even on its lowest setting, the vibrator is effective. There are no changes in the rhythm of the vibrator. The toy has medium volume, leaning towards the quiet side. I tried leaving it on in my room and even standing right outside the door it cannot be heard.

The controls are easy to use in design, but when actually trying to control the level of vibrations, the cog is finicky and jumps in the level of vibration occur. Sometimes, I have to turn the wheel quite a ways to get the vibrations to start at all, and sometimes as soon as I turn the wheel the vibrations start up. It’s also hard to keep the level consistent if you are holding the battery pack in your hand because the wheel turns very easily and if bumped will alter the level.

Although there is a large difference in the vibration levels of the lowest setting and the highest setting, the vibrations are always very strong. There is no real way to ease into using this toy. It comes on strong consistently.
    • Discreet sound
    • Easy to use
    • Powerful

Care and Maintenance

I usually just wash the bullet with an antibacterial soap and water. I try not to wash the cord or get the battery pack/control wet. Another method that I have seen recommended is using a toy cleaner.

Water, oil, and silicone-based lubes are safe to use on the material of this toy. I, myself, have only used a water-based lube with it, though.

The vibe's small size makes it easy to conceal. When storing, I would be careful to make sure that the cord is coiled neatly and won't snag on anything.
    • Easy to clean
    • Easy to store

Packaging

This came in a small plastic bag. It was not very discreet but at least the packaging wasn't a waste compared to its size.
    • Not discreet
    • Not good for storage

Experience

I like to tease myself with this bullet until I am feeling warmed up and then keep it localized to my clit. I use it on the lowest setting possible while I fumble around lubing up my dildo and inserting it. I find the bullet's vibrations combined with the dildo's vibrations (as it also has a bullet in it) make for a buzzing good time. Until recently, I have had trouble bringing myself to orgasm, but with this pairing I orgasm in five minutes.

As much as I like how this toy makes me feel, the funky controls make me really frustrated, especially if the vibrator doesn't come on when I turn the wheel and then all of a sudden is vibrating ferociously.
