Go For the Gold!

The Extreme Pure Gold Bullet by California Exotics is a very versatile bullet that can be used for solo or partner play. It could be used all over the body as a teaser, and does make an excellent clitoral vibe. I have used it to stimulate my man's balls, he loved it and it can be used as an external anal teaser as well. Just be sure to clean it adequately or cover it if you decide to use it this way.

The package and bullet itself both boast that this bullet is waterproof, so it should be shower safe, though I have not used it yet in the shower myself. Solo users, couples, beginners and advanced users alike could all find something to love about this bullet.

Despite the fact that the package describes this bullet as "whisper quiet", it is most definitely not and wouldn't be ideal for dorm living.

The Extreme Pure Gold is made from plastic which makes this non-porous, phthalates free and hypoallergenic. It is coated in shiny pale gold. So far the plastic coat on this has not chipped or faded. There was no smell to this upon removal from the package. It is smooth to the touch. The bullet itself is all plastic but does have a seam going horizontally around it which can be felt by running your hand over it, but is not noticeable during use. There is no texture. Just smooth plastic.

The cord seems to be coated with plastic and the control pack is also plastic with indents on it intended to help with grip/holding it during use, which are rather effective.

The overall design of this gets 4.5 out of 5 stars from me. The only thing that could be better is cord length, which at only 20" is a bit short. Even an extra six inches would be beneficial in my opinion. Short cord aside, this is a very well designed bullet. The bullet is 2" long and an inch in diameter, making it a good size allowing for pinpoint stimulation. The bullet is not too difficult to hold on to either.

The control pack is about four inches in length and has finger indents on the back which add ease of grip to it. Also on the back in black is the California Exotic logo. The buttons on the front of the control are easy to push but don't change or turn off accidentally and are clearly marked. There is an on/off button and above that is a button labeled "10" that will take you through the 10 functions.

Now this bullet is advertised as waterproof and it even says so on the bottom of the control. There is a clear plastic O-ring that surrounds the cord where it goes into the bullet. There is also an O-ring where the cord goes into the control. The cord seems coated in this same material. Inside the battery compartment is an O-ring to keep water out as well. I have washed this in the sink and gotten it pretty wet and no water seeped in anywhere. Just because this has a cord it does make me a bit nervous to take this in the shower, but I probably still will. I would not submerge it however, simply because I don't feel it would hold up to this. The o-rings around the cord just don't seem to be well made enough.

There are ten functions to this. I'll just go through the patterns in the order that they go in.
1. Medium steady vibe
2. Med/high steady vibe
3. High steady vibe
4. Escalating
5. Rapid strong pulse
6. Very rapid med/high pulse
7. Escalating followed by pulses
8. Pulses increasing in speed until it becomes steady, then repeats
9. Med steady, changes to high steady then escalates
10. Pulses that start low then increase in speed and intensity

Now, this vibe is strong. Clit numbingly so. This is not necessarily a bad thing though. The other thing to note about the vibrations is that they are buzzy. I can't just hold this to my clit or apply firm pressure the entire time or my clit will for sure go numb. Light pressure or taking a small break to avoid the whole clit numbing effect works for me, but if you hate a buzzy bullet then you will not like this. The buzzy quality of the vibration is not terrible though. It isn't that annoying type of buzz that leaves you unsatisfied, the vibrations just aren't very deep.

Also this toy is fairly loud. It could definitely be heard through blankets but probably not through a closed door. The shower covers up the sound from this as well.

This is very easy to care for. It takes two AAA batteries. The batteries are easy to put in and remove. Since this bullet is at least splashproof it is also very easy to wash. I wash mine with soap and water in the sink, but toy wipes or cleaner could also be used. I store mine right in my toybox and because I use rechargeable batteries I just leave them in since this doesn't seem to turn on all by itself. To preserve battery life it is recommended that you do remove the batteries while storing though. Any type of lube could be used with this since it is plastic.

The packaging is clear plastic and is in no way discreet. It says extreme pure gold on the front and clearly displays the product. The back shows a picture of the product and has a small blurb stating that the bullet is powerful and has ten functions. There were not any instructions included in the box but I personally didn't need any. The box could be used for storage but I just recycled mine. It would make a decent gift as long as the recipient opened it in private or only in front of you.
