Since everyone else has tried and loved the Xtreme pack G-spot Bullet, I just had to see what all the fuss was about. At first glance, it was just what I had expected – a bullet with a push-button controller. Now, push buttons have left me a bit jaded in the past, but I really wanted to give this one a shot. I am so glad I did.

The buttons on the Xtreme aren’t like the ones that turned me off in the past. You know the ones I’m talking about. Push button to turn on, then again and again through get the maybe 5 speeds and patterns that are okay but no way in hell they’re going to get you off, then again and again to turn the damn thing off. Can you tell I was bitter about push buttons? I digress. The buttons on the Xtreme cycle through the 5 speeds and 7 patterns, both with its own set of arrows, so you’re sure to find at least one combination that’s perfect. The lights in the center indicate which pattern you’re on, so you can find your favorite every time. The transition between the speeds and patterns is much smoother than other push button vibrators I’ve had, which I really appreciate. And if you need to turn it off quickly, you can. The center button turns it on and off with no problem.

The vibrations on this baby are incredible. The speed goes from about 3 ½ vrooms to definitely 5. I’ve only taken it that high for the purpose of this review, and then it was too intense for me. The patterns vary from steady to pulsing to gradients and combinations of the three. The tip of the super-soft rubber coated bullet concentrates the vibes exactly where you want them.

The only real problem I found with the Xtreme is how much noise it makes. It is really loud. I have thin walls and housemates, so this poses a problem sometimes. If I put my comforter over me and put some pillows on top of that, it muffles the noise enough. It’s a small price to pay for the enjoyment I get.

The Xtreme’s called a g-spot bullet, but I like to avoid inserting bullets. It’s easy to break them if you only have the cord to pull it out by. Also, there’s a seam on most bullets (including this one) which is a nice place for bacteria to hide. I tried inserting the Xtreme once to see if it would actually get my g-spot, but it didn’t do anything for me. If you must insert it, vaginally or anally, put it in a condom so you have something reliable to pull it out with. Also use it with a condom if you’re planning on sharing it, as you can’t sterilize it. However it’s easily cleaned with warm water and soap or toy cleaner, though be careful not to submerge it or get water near the cord since it’s not waterproof.

This is a great little vibrator that packs a lot of punch. I wouldn’t recommend this as a first toy or for someone who it too sensitive for very intense vibrations. But for everyone else – hop on the Xtreme G bandwagon. You won’t regret it.

The other day I sat down to write this follow-up review, and all I could write about was how damn loud this bullet is and how I can never use it. I can't even use it when I'm home alone because the noise is distracting and keeps me from enjoying myself.

Clearly, my opinion has changed in the past couple of days. Actually, I changed the toy. Here was my thought process: The bullet component is what is making the noise. The bullet plugs into the controller via a 2.5mm jack, therefore the bullet is interchangeable. Any other (quieter) bullet with a 2.5mm jack can be used instead of this one that is making the noise.

So I took the bullet from my Club Vibe and plugged it into the Xtreme pack controller. Voila! The incredible vibrations and patterns of the Xtreme pack with about 2 fewer bees. I can't speak for other bullets but using the Club Vibe brought the volume down to about 2 bees, 3 at the most. At first I thought the smaller size and lack of shape would be a compromise, but being able to enjoy an amazing vibrator makes it totally worth the changes.

If you have other vibrators with interchangeable bullets (with a 2.5mm jack), I definitely recommend combining them with the Xtreme pack.
