The Silver impulse doesn't seem to know what it wants to be. It's shaped like a bullet but is classed as a traditional vibrator. It can be inserted, but perhaps it is more a discreet vibe since it is small. Regardless of its identity crisis, the Silver impulse is... okay.

Overall, it's a bit of a clumsy toy. Still, it could work if you want an affordable toy that has pattern vibrations. It's also waterproof, allowing you to take it to the shower. That's your best bet if you live with other; this little guy can get a bit loud. It also is a toy that can increase your paranoia because of its controls.

Overall, the Silver impulse can make a cute stocking stuffer or little gift for someone. It's not great and I would consider it more of a companion piece than the actual gift (if putting it in a gift bag). It's probably a bit clunky and boring. It's also 'just a vibrator,' there's not care or extra attention that went into making this one.

I would not use this anally since it is small and insanely smooth. It will get lost.

The Silver impulse is made of plastic. It ranks an 8 out of 10 on the safety scale. It is hypoallergenic and non porous, so bacteria cannot thrive inside the toy. It is insanely smooth and shiny. The plastic isn't very resistant to scratches though, and scuff marks can easily be seen if you put the toy into the light. If you need a smoother glide, you can always add a drop of lube to the Silver impulse.

The texture is non-existent, so it can be enjoyed by all experience types. The toy is slightly tapered to make it easier for insertion. The Silver impulse is solid and unyielding. There is also no odor or taste to it.

Again, it feels like the Silver impulse has a bit of an identity crisis. At first glance it's a bullet. Any maybe it is, but usually bullets are smaller. As a traditional vibe, it is definitely on the smaller side. The Silver impulse is 4.5 inches long with an insertable length of 3 inches. It's also on the thinner side with a circumference of 3.5 inches (consider the average circumference of a penis averages between 4.5 to 5 inches).

The size of the Silver impulse makes it beginner friendly. The simple look of it makes it non-intimidating. Size queens look away from this one. The size of the Silver impulse makes it easier to hide. It can easily fit in a purse or pocket with no issue. In terms of noise, this little toy can be a bit annoying. If a toy was loud and strong it wouldn't bother me as much. But the Silver impulse puts out too much noise for the strength it gives. At its loudest it more 3 Bees and 2. You might be heard beyond your door if there's no background noise going on.

If anything, the shower can be your friend.

The Silve impulse has one button that does everything at its base. It serves as the power function and lets you cycle through the patterns and vibrations. The Silver impulse is one of the most affordable toys that has vibration patterns. It has a total of 7 and they are:

1. Low Vibration: ~2 Vrooms
2. Medium Vibration: 3 Vrooms
3. High Vibration: ~3 Vrooms
4. Quick Pulses: 2-3 Vrooms
5. Three Short Pulses, one Long, repeat: 2.5-3 Vrooms
6. Rollar coaster: 2-3 Vrooms
7. Accelerating pulses: 2-3 Vrooms

The one thing that is annoying about the Silver impulse is that you have to cycle through all of the settings to turn it off. This is not very productive if you live with others, especially if they don't respect your privacy. If I was living with my family, I probably wouldn't but this toy if I knew about it. The Silver impulse takes 2 AAA batteries. It has an o-ring and to keep water out of the battery cage.

It's easy to take care of the Silver impulse. You can use soap and water, toy cleaner, or wipes. Both silicone and water based lubricants can be used with no adverse reactions. Once dry, the Silver impulse can be placed in your general toy storage, but it's best to put it separate from porous toys so they don't become contaminated.

The packaging is standard: plastic, snap shell packaging. The toy is easy to see within the packaging. It also has a scantily clad woman on it, giving it that sex toy sleazy feeling. It is not at all discreet. The Silver impulse does not come with any additional instructions.

If gifting the Silver impulse, it would probably be best to gift it with something else. I think, by itself, it's not the best gift.
