California Exotic's Silicone Slims Nubby Bullet delivers the standard, corded bullet with a whole lot more pizazz, at a price that is affordable for any toy budget. Once you try this "tickler", you won't want to go back to basics again!

The bullet itself is covered in a pastel, lavender-colored, non-removable TPR silicone casing, which has eleven, 1/4"-long tentacles covering one end. These are soft, flexible, and non-irritating. The remainder of the bullet is texturized with 6 evenly-spaced rows consisting of 4 small, raised bumps in each, also equally spaced apart. This adds a little more sensation when rolling or rubbing the bullet horizontally across the labial region.

The unit is attached to the controller/battery case by an approximately 30" cord. The motor, concealed within the bullet, runs off two double-A batteries which are housed in the controller portion. Vibrations are started via a simple dial mechanism, which slowly increases the speed as you turn it. Both sides of the controller are clearly labeled from low to high (reversed on opposite side). The intensity of the vibrations, which are patternless, are satisfactory. Depending on the sensitivity of one's clitoral region, "high" may be a little too intense. I do not have an overly-sensitive clitoris, so I typically run this toy on maximum power.

The TPR silicone material does have a light plastic scent to it, but there is no taste. The packaging describes it as "High-Grade Silicone"; however, it only receives a 6 on the safety scale, because it is actually a thermoplastic rubber and silicone blend. So FYI, there are much higher grades of premium silicone available. Nevertheless, for a bullet, it's nice to have the option of one that is hypo-allergenic, latex, and phthalate-free.

A water-based lubricant should be used at all times with this material, as silicone or oil lubes can react negatively with the material. Cleaning can easily be done with warm water and antibacterial soap or with an antibacterial toy spray cleaner. Be careful not to immerse the entire encased motor portion (bullet) in water, as it is not waterproof at the point where the cord enters the bullet. Additionally, try not to pull on the cord or get it wrapped around on anything, as it can damage the toy in the long-run. Taking it along in a purse is convenient and discreet due to its lightweight and compact design.

If I had to recommend a couple toys to be part of a basic collection, a bullet vibrator would be one of them. The Silicone Slims Nubby Bullet is a safe, non-threatening-looking choice for anyone just beginning to experiment with clitoral stimulation. Experienced users will enjoy owning this one as a back-up bullet to their favorite. Either way, it provides pleasure for all who use it. Enjoy!

Depending on how aroused I am, I can climax by using this bullet alone; however, I enjoy using it in conjunction with a big dildo or I'll roll on to my stomach and vigorously rub my clitoris, with or without my partner fucking my pussy. For whatever reason, the extra pressure from being on my stomach helps me to orgasm much quicker. I also like to tickle my partner's scrotum with it.

I have so many bullets, so this isn't the one I reach for first due to it not being as powerful as my favorite one, but it still works well. I've found that I prefer the textured bullets over the plain silver ones, so I still feel this one is a wise choice to have in a collection.
