Nearly a year ago, when I decided to purchase my first bullet vibe specifically for use during sexual intercourse, I wasn't quite sure what I was looking for but while browsing, this mini bullet caught my eye. The small size seemed unobtrusive, the price was good, and the product was aesthetically pleasing, so I made my purchase. I was quite surprised to find that the bullet was extremely powerful for such a small toy, and packed more punch than larger toys that I'd used previously.

The product consists of a very small bullet (3/4s of an inch wide, about 1 1/2 inches long) attached to a hand held controller by about 2 feet of thin cord. The product is made of brightly colored translucent plastic, with a turn dial and power light on the front, and battery door on the back. The product takes 2 AA batteries, which I found very convenient, since I keep plenty of rechargeable AA batteries for various electronics.

I bought the toy specifically for use on my clitoris during vaginal sex, and for that the toy performed quite well. Due to its small size it fit perfectly between my partner and I, especially in missionary positions, without being obtrusive or getting in the way. During use the control could be accessed by either of us, which allowed for some tease-play.

At its highest speed, the vibe is very very intense, perhaps too intense. Low to medium speeds provide perfect pleasure, and the control dial makes it quite easy to quickly increase or decrease the sensation. Quickly moving the dial back and forth can provide a sort of pulsing sensation.

For solo play this toy wasn't as fun. Because of it's small size, when holding it for use, my fingers covered much of the surface and absorbed many of the vibrations, which detracted from the enjoyment. It felt much better when I found ways to use it that didn't require me to hold it in place, such as tucking it between my labia with my legs closed, or holding it in place with a pillow.

Because this toy is hard plastic, it was very easy to clean with a little soap and water on a damp cloth. As with most toys, this one should be stored without the batteries, as it's quite easy to accidentally turn on.

The vibrations from the bullet were very strong and provided many intense orgasms, but unfortunately, the construction of the toy overall is not very sturdy. The first thing to break was the latch on the battery door, which caused the door to slide and shift during use if it wasn't taped down. After having the toy for nearly a year, the entire thing died during use one night.

In the dark, I wasn't sure what had happened, only that the power light was still on, but the bullet wasn't vibrating anymore, and had grown extremely warm to the touch (it would normally heat up during use, which I actually found pleasant, but this time it was even hotter.) On closer inspection, I found that the wire had pulled out of the bottom of the bullet, and a few millimeters of bare wire were exposed. I also may have inadvertently broken/loosened the control dial when trying to turn it back on after it initially stopped, because while I can't turn it on anymore to tell, something seems to be loose inside the dial.

Overall, this is a very good toy for a beginner that likes strong power, and well worth the price. But if you're not gentle with it, you can expect to have to replace it before long.
