Pros
Affordable, easy to use, powerful, gets the job done
Cons
Heats up with extended use, corded, not waterproof, buzzy sound that gets louder after many uses
California Exotics' Pocket Exotics Bullet is a perfect addition to any toy collection for beginners and advanced users alike. With its easy to use dial control and 2 AA batteries, it will get you where you need to go. It packs a powerful punch at an affordable price, and I always have an extra on hand because I personally don't know what I'd do without my trusty little bullet.
It can be used externally over your entire body wherever you'd like some vibrating stimulation. It can also be safely slipped into a vagina, but I would advise against anal use because the cord could snap or break off. No one wants to explain to a doctor why they have a silver egg up stuck up their behind.
Made from a firm plastic that is non-porous and phthalate free, the Pocket Exotics bullet is smooth to the touch with no texture. There is a seam right in the middle of the actual bullet that I can feel with my fingers, but I have yet to feel it internally. I also usually only use the tip of the bullet on my clitoris and nipples, so the seam does not bother me externally at all. There is no odor or taste to the Pocket Exotics bullet.
The design of this toy is much like your average corded bullet. It has a tear drop shaped control pack, long cord, and bullet vibrator. This does not come with a storage pouch, but it is easy to hide and store in a drawer or in a pouch if you already have one. These are also very easy to travel with. Simply remove the batteries beforehand.
The measurements of the Pocket Exotics bullet are as follows:
Bullet- Length: 2 1/4"
Circumference: 3"
Diameter: 1"
Control pack- Length: 4 1/2"
Circumference: at widest point-5", at narrowest point-2"
Depth: 3/4"
Cord- Length: 32"
The Pocket Exotics' multi-speed vibrations are pattern free and are powered by two AA batteries (not included). The dial located on the control pack is easy to use. Simply slide to turn on, increase or decrease to your desired level of vibration, then slide back to turn off. There are "Low--->High" markings on both sides of the dial, so you can quickly tell which direction turns it on or off. The only problem I have with the dial is that sometimes I accidentally turn it on when placing it back into my nightstand drawer or when I fiddle around in there. It is a little embarrassing if anyone is around to hear it thrash about in there, but that situation can be avoided by simply removing the batteries after use and before storage.
The vibrations are felt through the entire small bullet and can provide fantastic, localized pleasure. However, the bullet does tend to heat up after extended use.
I would consider this a 3 bee noise maker. It's not silent and can be heard in the same room even under a blanket. I could personally hear it somewhat through a closed door, but I have good hearing so others may not. Something else I have noticed about the noise is that after time and many uses, the sound tends to get a little louder and buzzier as the motor inside hits against the plastic.
I found the battery compartment to be rather easy to open and close with no problems. I wouldn't consider this to be a battery guzzler either. I know that many people remove the batteries from their toys after use. With this toy, I constantly left them in. My batteries always lasted quite a bit of time, even with daily use. I could feel when they started to drain a bit, so I'd simply slip in a fresh set of rechargeable AA's. This happened about once a month, but my use of the toy was usually less than a daily five minutes at a time. Also, the Pocket Exotic bullet is absolutely not waterproof and should not be used in or near water.
This toy is certainly not waterproof, so care should be taken when cleaning it. A damp cloth or a toy wipe would suffice. You can also wipe the bullet down with alcohol if desired. If you were to share this toy, slipping a condom over the bullet is easy and wise.
Because this bullet is plastic, it is compatible with any type of lube. As for storage, this is easy to slip into a drawer, toy box, or inside a storage pouch.
The Pocket Exotics comes in a clear plastic, clam shell package so it isn't very discreet. A piece of slick paper adorned with a picture of a woman's behind in tight shorts, and the words "Pocket Exotics", "California Exotic Novelties", "Versatile, Compact, Powerful, Pocket-sized" sits inside the clam shell. The basic care instructions, novelty toy warning, CalEx's website, and trademark information can be found on the back of the paper. Inside is a tiny sheet of paper with a diagram instructing how to insert batteries into the toy.
This CalEx bullet (in pink) was the very first toy I ever purchased from Eden back in 2008. When that one died a year later, I was back to get another one. That last pink one served me well for 2 years of continuous use before being put to rest. Obviously, I came right back to get another one. Only this time, I got it in silver.
I use this exclusively as a clitoral vibrator, and I've gotten so much pleasurable use from it. It definitely has enough power to get me going and off in a short amount of time. It's not the most powerful vibe out there, but it works well. Honestly, I never use the lower levels. Once I turn this on, it goes straight up to the top speed.
I've used these bullets solo and during sex. I've noticed that these last longer during solo play because I do not yank and pull on the cord. I love that these are very affordable. Whenever one of these decides to die, I don't hesitate to grab another one.
Even though I have since purchased more expensive, rechargeable, completely waterproof clit vibes, I will always have one of these bullets on hand. I highly recommend them to everyone, from first time toy users to more experienced folk. You can't go wrong with a bullet!
Follow-up commentaryI still like it1 day after original review
I have always and will always love this bullet! They last me at least a year with constant use and I have yet to find another bullet that can even come close power-wise to this. No matter how many more expensive, rechargeable, or simply prettier toys I purchase, I will always have one of these babies on hand.
