Le reve in French means “the dream”. For me personally, the mini massager or bullet called Le reve, made by Pipedream Products, is not a dream. The small and very lightweight package that it came in was deceptive.

My first thought was that nothing could be inside that little box that could possibly get me where I wanted to go. As the saying goes, good things come in small packages and the Le reve I got can prove that rule. The other expression, looks are deceiving, is so true, since many bullets I’ve tried previously have left me cold and disappointed but not this one. Yes, it may be very small, smaller than many bullets even, but it packs a punch in more ways than one. This bullet, or mini massager, is classy looking in its sleek design, glistening shiny surface and petite size.

Measuring only two and one quarter inches in length, three quarters of an inch across and with a girth of two inches around and weighing only a fraction over one and a half ounces, this elegant looking toy can easily slide into any handbag. I know, since I put it into my very small evening bag clutch to try it out. It was perfect and even could slide into my lipstick case since it is smaller than my tube of lipstick. I loved that. I can slip this into my purse, jeans pocket or that sweet spot between my breasts and most people would never even see it, or if they did, and they would really have to look hard, they would have no idea what it was. From the working end, the end without the push button, I could, and DID pass it off as a tube of lip balm.

The ABS plastic, no phthalates, is highly polished and slick--slicker still when you get a little lubrication on it and engage in some slippery self-indulgent fun. It is compatible with any lube you wish, just hold on tight. As stated, it is already a slick little thing and lube tends to make it glide across your skin like a scorching hot knife through warm butter. After putting in the 3 little round LR44 / AG13 (1.5V) batteries, I pressed the EZ on/off and control button on the bottom. One click, a nice low level buzz of deep vibrations, yet surprisingly quiet. Anther click and medium speed, the vibrations are faster and a tiny bit deeper and more penetrating, yet still whisper quiet and not easily heard beyond about 3 feet away. Third speed, high, and the vibrations were firm, penetrating and still, the sound was barely audible beyond 3-4 feet away.

But talk about quiet--this will explain it fully. I placed the little passion-builder against my clitoris, pulled on a pair of panties and a summer dress and went grocery shopping. I knew that even though I could feel it, and boy did I feel it, if I could not hear it, and I did not hear it, then nobody else could either. Talk about being discreet! I wore it like that until I got home, almost an hour and fifteen minutes later. By then I had indeed worn out the batteries but was so aroused, so wet and so happy. Having an orgasm in the middle of the wine aisle in the local mega store is an eye opener, for me and the people watching as well, I am sure.

For me personally, using it on low while shopping, the batteries lasted about 40-45 minutes before giving out. Since I was already in the store, I purchased more batteries for use later that night to test out the waterproof claim.

That night, new batteries in place, I took it into the shower with me. It works great with silicone lube but becomes really hard to hold onto. I can now say that mine is shatter resistant, possibly even shatter-proof, as I dropped it three times and watched it bounce twice. Afterward, I checked it out. It still worked perfectly, was not cracked or even scratched. The finish was still smooth and shiny.

To keep this toy in good working order, I suggest cleaning it after every use with warm water and a mild soap or toy cleaner and drying well. I also advise tightening the end cap prior to using in any water environment.

After 2 months, I am still using the Le Reve Bullet pretty often and found it makes a great little addition to my purse for those stuck in road construction traffic jams that can last for close to an hour. Tee-hee.
