Not all bullets are created equal; therefore, I had to try yet another one for comparison. I've had good luck with bullets from California Exotic Novelties in the past, and the Passion Tickler Nubby was no exception. It's an intense little pink pleasure pod designed to tickle and tease the clitoral region into orgasmic frenzy, although it can certainly be used to EXTERNALLY tease other areas too. It can be used solo or with a partner and should not be inserted in the anus (nor would I imagine it be very comfortable in doing so).

The Passion Tickler comes in a clear blister package with the company's universal "vibrator instruction manual". Rather than a one-piece toy, the bullet and cord half are detachable from the controller, which can help to prolong the longevity of the toy as the wires won't be damaged if tugged away from the controller. I was surprised to find that it had no scent for a rubber toy, but it did taste a tad bitter.

The egg-shaped motor is encased in a hot pink, studded/nubby, thick rubber sleeve, which is not removable. There are alternating rows of larger, circular nubs and thinner, longer ticklers. Because they are rubber, they are a bit firmer than other materials, but still have some flexibility and softness to them. Rubber is porous, so sharing is not recommended. I wouldn't bother using a condom with it unless you suddenly discover you have allergies to rubber, but still insist on using the toy until you find a suitable replacement. On the plus side, it is a durable material. The color coordinated control unit is made of plastic.

The bullet is the standard size, roughly 2.5 inches long. The protruding rubber nubs on the sleeve increase the circumference to approximately 4-1/4 inches and a diameter of roughly 1-1/4 inches, give or take a little. Again, it isn't really intended to be inserted, so those measurement aren't necessarily going to be of major importance. What does matter is that it fits nicely in the hand. The cord, including the control-unit adapter plug is about 32 inches long. The control unit is about 4-1/2 long and also fits comfortably in the palm of the hand.

Using the toy is as easy as inserting 2-AA batteries in the back of the control unit. The unit powers on by sliding the little "star" knob from low to high. The interior of the slider mechanism has little ridges or grooves so that it won't slip (change speeds) too easily during use, but if brushed hard enough against something, it certainly will change the speed. There are no patterns to the vibrations, which vary in intensity from low to high and are indicated in white lettering. The high is quite impressive and somewhat loud out in the open, but under covers it won't be that noticeable. A small red indicator light increases in brightness as the power is elevated.

This toy is not waterproof. It can be carried discreetly because it is small and it won't risk turning on at an inopportune moment, so long as you remember to detach the cord from the controller, even if you leave the batteries in. It cleans up easily with either warm water & antibacterial soap or a designated toy cleaner and is compatible with both silicone and water-based lubricants.

I liked it! Good orgasms don't have to come at a high cost, especially if you are on a budget and enjoy clitoral stimulation. California Exotics makes good bullets, period!

Bullets have always worked for me, so long as the vibrations are strong enough. As with my others, I enjoyed using this one on low, just teasing my clit for starters, then gliding it gently across my labia before increasing the pressure and intensity of the vibrations and concentrating on the clitoris. I'm really big on edging myself to orgasm also, so I like to alternate speeds and tease myself until I can't take it anymore.

Nope, I don't even use this one anymore. I don't know what it is, but once I find an bullet I like (one that EdenFantasys still does not carry, but should!), I can't let go of it. So needless to say, this is a back-up that sits collecting dust.
