Taking On This Bullet

If the shape of bullet toys works well for you and your body, then go ahead and get this one if the thought of not being able to replace the batteries doesn't horrify you. The price is pretty decent and it's a fairly quiet toy so it definitely has some nice attributes.

Use

The High Intensity Bullet is a standard bullet-style vibrator for use on the clit and will work best for people who orgasm best from external vibrating stimulation there. Beginners and advanced toy users alike could both enjoy what this toy has to offer as long as they know that's what they enjoy and want from it. The shape is designed for direct, pointed stimulation. It is also pretty nice for nipple stimulation if you roll the sides of the toy around them and not the tip. It's a great size and it's even pretty cute. I think it would very well during sex with a partner since it isn't cumbersome, and could be fit into a harness with a front pocket easily I believe.

This toy isn't designed for internal stimulation though it would be great for using at the same time as an insertable toy. It is definitely not for anal insertion at all. It doesn't have a flared base and the small size is hard to hold onto so it would easily slip away, making for a very bad situation.

Material / Texture

This toy is made of hard plastic with a velvety feel to it that I absolutely love. Plastic gets an 8 on Eden's material safety scale. It's non-porous, phalates-free, and easy to clean but can't be sterilized like silicone.
When I first got it out of the package, I kept touching it and rolling it between my fingers because the texture was so nice. I was expecting the plastic to be much more like typical, smooth plastic toys. The texture (I'm guessing there was a coating of some sort) was the nicest part of the material. It has no drag to it at all and glides very smoothly across the hand and everywhere else. I generally like softer, flexible toys but this one was nice even though it had absolutely no give to it. If you don't like hard toys, you won't like this one very much. If you hate texture though, you will like it because the toy had no bumps or ridges on the part for playing at all.

There was no odor that I could detect, and the toy has no taste either.

Design / Shape / Size

This bullet is about 3" long and 5/8" in diameter. I loved that the size made it super easy to store and take places but I didn't like that it was a little hard for me to keep in my hand once it was buzzing away, especially with lube involved. I would've liked it a tiny bit longer or thicker for this purpose but overall it really wasn't that big of a deal. An upside to the small size was that it didn't cramp my hand at all to hold it for long periods of time. It's very lightweight.

The shape is a standard bullet shape, like many other vibrators, with a very pointed tip. It would be discreet to anyone who didn't know anything about sex toys but to anyone who did I think the shape would be recognizable.

The color of this product was one of my favorite aspects. The hot pink with lime green accent is a creative color choice and is pleasing to look at.

Functions / Performance / Controls

The problems I experienced were with the controls and batteries. It uses one N battery, which was included. After I put it into the toy, I found that I was completely unable to get it out again even after tapping it rather hard on my nightstand and attempting to pick it out with various objects. I don't like this because it means I will probably have to replace the whole toy if I want to when the batteries run out instead of being able to put a new battery in. I also really don't like not being able to take the batteries out of my toys in case they corrode or the toys gets accidentally turned on. I haven't run out of battery power yet, so at least they seem to last a decent while.

Anyway, once the battery was in, I tried to turn it on and it took quite a while to get the button on the bottom pressed down hard enough to get it started. I had to jam a pencil against the soft button to turn it on and change speeds. When it finally did, I wasn't able to get it turned off again and actually hard to unscrew the bottom to stop it. Now, to turn it on, I keep the cap off and then screw it on all the way when I want to turn it on instead of messing with that awful button. This toy is easy to use in theory, and maybe the other models other than this bright pink one work as they're supposed to, but this one just didn't so it wasn't as easy to use as it was supposed to be.

This bullet does have three different speeds. There are no patterns, just those flat settings. I mainly used the highest setting and it was very strong, yes, but not as strong as some of the other reviews for this toy really make it out to be. The first and second settings were still quite strong but I would have used them more for warming up to using the third setting if the toy worked well enough for me to change the settings easily (Darn that green button!). A pulsing setting would have been pretty cool.

The vibrations traveled up and down the body of the toy but the best spot for me was right along the sides of the pointed tip. You can feel the vibrations all over the toy and in your hand when you hold it but that's just the place I liked the best.

As for the vibrations, they are okay. They are more rumbly than my cell phone's vibration setting but not by a lot.

Speaking of cell phones, that's about what the noise level sounded like as well even on the highest level. It really wasn't bad at all. I couldn't hear it through a few blankets and I doubt anyone could hear it from across a room, much less outside a door.

Care and Maintenance

This toy is very easy to care for. I just rinsed it with antibacterial soap and water to clean it. I've also used a toy cleaning wipe on it before. If you wish, you could clean it by wiping it with isopropyl alcohol.

It annoyed me that I couldn't remove the batteries before doing so. This toy is supposedly waterproof but I had some problems getting the cap to close all the way with the bright green ring in the right spot so I have not even attempted submerging it fully, only rinsing it. It survived that without a problem. That green ring is what makes it safe to use in the water so if yours closes fine, you can use it in water.

It can be used with any sort of lube you desire without a problem. Water-based and silicone-based will both work.
    • Easy to clean
    • Easy to store

Packaging

The toy came in a small, clear plastic bag that said "Eden Fantasys" and "High Intensity Bullet" on it. I don't believe it came with any instructions in the bag and I actually ended up looking on Eden for info on putting the batteries in before discovering that there was actually a slip of paper with instructions inside the toy, under the cap.

I plan to store it in a fabric baggie or something since the little plastic one wasn't exactly resealable or anything. It's so small you could keep it in a cosmetics bag or in the corner of a larger toy box. It will fit anywhere.

Experience

I thought this toy would be more stimulating for me than it ended up being, even though the vibrations are so strong. I just couldn't get it in a good spot. I prefer toys with a softer, rounder tip and the hard, pointed one on this just didn't do it for me as well as that does. It took me a lot longer to orgasm with this than with other toys even though it definitely seems stronger than other toys I have. That said, if I was going to be traveling or something this would be the toy I would bring because it's quiet and could be stowed away in my luggage so easily. Because of that, I still like the toy even though I don't like it as much as some of my other toys. If the button for controlling it worked better, I would like it even more.
Follow-up commentary
I just haven't used this toy much at all since I wrote this review. I keep it on my desk to roll around between my fingers, turned off and not vibrating, just because I like touching that velvety plastic so much. It's cute but I have toys that do the job better. Granted, those toys are still bigger so what I said about traveling and emergencies still holds true. If I run out of the right batteries for my favorite toy or something, I'll probably pick this one up again.

    Wonderful review!! I have the Crystal version of this and I also found it wasn't as strong as everyone says it is.
  • Contributor: GONE!
    Thanks. I always wonder what toys most other people use as a point of comparison. I've heard the Hitachi wand is generally regarded as one of the strongest if not the strongest but not everyone has one.
