Out of the package the 10x Power Bullet by Doc Johnson is a silky smooth, also rightly described as "velvety," vibe made out of plastic. It is straight out of the container compatible with all lubes and can be cleaned easily with warm water and mild soap.

The cute pink bullet vibe comes attached to a small remote; opening up the battery compartment is an O-ring which keeps the compartment nice and dry, making it perfect for submersion and easy to play with. I placed my fresh 2-AA batteries in the compartment and began to play. One click of the On/Off button on the small handy remote, and I had no response. I reseated the batteries a number of times until finally was met with a red light and a light vibration.

I then began to cycle through the "10 functions," including a straight vibration, pulsation and escalating vibration. On the lowest setting, I couldn't feel much of a difference between the pulsation and the regular settings and could only barely feel the escalating vibrations.

As the vibration intensified, I realized this is a very strong vibration, which was comparable with my Hitachi. I was very happy with this until there was a pretty large snag in my fun. The buttons stopped responding. I was unable to test out the rest of the settings with any honesty and "stuck" at high intensity vibration. I then was unable to turn the bullet off without taking out the batteries.

After much tinkering and re-seating the batteries, I was able to test again.

The vibrations go from low to medium to high and include a pulsation setting on each level, along with a simple roller-coaster and escalation vibration, which I find very nice. A couple more minutes of play, it felt very soft and non-threatening on my clit, and I was about to cum when the device shut off. A bit more tinkering, and it was back to normal.

The bullet has only been tried for clitoral stimulation, as the remote portion has broken. To turn the device off once again, I do have to remove the batteries, so the remote portion seems like it is easily broken and the buttons are nearly non-responsive after a few uses.

While not the most powerful toy on the block, its problems have been fixed and it seems to work a bit for me. I need to train my clit to enjoy it more since I do have the clit-o-steel syndrome.
