USB Bullet:
I am not going to lie; I was very excited to try out this masturbation sleeve because of the USB bullet that was included. This was the first of its kind that I have tried, as most others run off of batteries. At first though, I was still a little hesitant with the fact that the corded bullet would need to be plugged into a power source. I felt that this could potentially limit where this vibe could be used, because lets face it, it is basically handcuffed to a power source. But to my surprise, I haven’t ran into any major issues and actually love the fact that I do not have to deal with low battery power of having to purchase batteries to use the vibe! In fact, not having to deal with batteries at all makes traveling with this toy a breeze!
The bullet vibe contains a safe USB port, 21 pounds of cord strength and very adequate cord length. On the box it states that the length of the cord is around 60 inches, but I measured nearly 70 inches in total length. For me, that was more than enough cord to plug into any outlet or USB port that I tried.
The controls for the vibe can be found in the center of the cord. The actual control pad is roughly 2 inches in length and is easy to use. It contains 3 controls that include the on/off button, increase intensity button and decrease intensity button. Personally speaking, I would prefer that the controls to be located a little closer to the vibe, but I didn’t run into any major issues with the placement in the center.
The vibrator contains 5 patterns and 5 different intensity levels. Once plugged in, simply pressing the center on/off button can turn on the bullet. To rotate through the different vibration patterns, you will press the same on/off button. To turn the vibe completely off, press and hold the on/off button for about 2 seconds and the vibe will power down.
The 5 dynamic rhythms of vibration include:
1. Constant vibration
2. Surge
3. Intra-Surge
4. Intermittent
5. Roller Coaster Spurt (where the intensity gradually builds and then drops to begin building again.)
As I have already stated, there are also 5 different intensity levels that can be set. Pressing “+” button will increase the strength and pressing the “-“ button will decrease the strength of vibrations. (Pretty straightforward right?)
I found that even at the highest level of strength, the vibe is relatively quite, which is great while travelling or not wanting others to overhear. With that being said, for its small size, the bullet actually has more of a punch than I expected at first glance. Overall, with having 5 different levels of intensities, it is easy to find the right setting for you.
Combination Use:
This is where I have mixed feelings for using the masturbation sleeve because there are both pros and cons. Let me begin with the pros. First off, yes this toy can be plugged into the USB drive of your computer. But there are so many other ways to power your bullet vibe! Any USB adapter or wall charger will allow you to move away from the computer. That means on long car rides, you can even plug it into your USB car charger!
The vibe alone is a great option, and I would have purchased it alone. Speaking of using it in the car, I recently took a long road trip with my wife. This was the perfect accessory to keep things interesting along the way. Not having to deal with batteries, we easily plugged it into our USB adapter and she was able to tease and pleasure herself while I was driving. Lets just say when we arrived to our final destination, I REAPED the benefits from her using this toy! She found that she enjoyed the highest to second highest intensity levels and really enjoyed the Intermittent and roller coaster spurt patterns. Again, not having to deal with batteries was true bliss!
While being paired with the masturbation sleeve, I found that the patterns of vibrations and different levels of intensities really added to the experience. It took using an ordinary masturbation sleeve to the next level with having the ability to add variations of vibrations.
I loved the fact that the bullet vibe slid into the underside of the sleeve at the end of the tunnel. But this also was the largest con of the product as well. The placement was great for added stimulation. Like most males, the location right underneath the head of the penis is extremely sensitive.
While the placement of the vibe truly sent me over the edge for a very powerful orgasm, there are still a few drawbacks. Because of the small size of the sleeve, inserting the vibe makes the end of the tunnel even tighter. This creates the potential for ripping or thrusting your penis through the top of the sleeve if not careful (especially if you are of larger size.) Also, ejaculation can be somewhat of a messy situation. The placement of the bullet really is a double-edged sword. (Great for pleasure and sensation, but bad for actual orgasm.) During orgasm, your ejaculate will drip and run right down the length of the cord. If you are using this while being plugged into your computer, be sure to be prepared with towels etc. Because of this reason, I have actually used this sleeve a few times while wearing a condom so I did not have to worry about it running and dripping down the cord. I guess you can also try flipping the masturbator over, but then you will not be hitting the sensitive area right under the head of the penis.
All in all, this is still a really good product that can be used together or separately. It also is the perfect toy for couples as well because the vibe has endless possibilities.
