The Climax Silicone Love bullet is at the very least interesting at first glance, and it will continue to peak your interest as you use it. The vibrating bullet in this little 3” bulbous toy isn’t anything to write home about, with its single speed coming in at unremarkably average. What makes it worthwhile is the rounded bright orange textured silicone cover.

When you receive the toy it comes with 3 watch batteries already inserted, protected by a tab to keep it from turning on in the package. I replaced these with new batteries, just to ensure it worked properly. It is on a small piece of cardboard with a simple design, held on by fitted plastic. Since the toy is so small and easy to store, the packaging is not worth keeping.

Once you turn this toy on, you’ll realize the bullet may be like many others you’ve tried or already own. It’s only speed, controlled by a black push button at the base of the toy, is just medium. However, when the squishy silicone is pressed against your clit, or any other areas you choose to use it on, you may respond better than you expect. I really enjoy how well the vibrations travel through the entire silicone cover, including the top 1/2” which is much softer than the rest because there is no hard bullet in that portion. The four rounded silicone ribs around the toy are definitely noticeable when moved against your most delicate parts, but they’re not rough or harsh or anything else that would cause discomfort.

This toy also has some features that not all bullets do. First off it is waterproof- and not just in a shower or under a faucet but entirely underwater in a tub and the inside was as dry as the Sahara afterward. The silicone is also non-porous and latex and phthalate free for those looking for a safer bullet. Another big perk is the noise level of this toy - or lack of noise level actually. You can throw this under a pillow at a second’s notice if you need to and it becomes completely inaudible.

Between the size and near silent quality of this toy, it’s ideal for those in a shared or still-with-parents living situation. At just 3” x 1”, it’s easy to hide and can be tossed in a purse, pocket, or glove compartment for travel. If you’re looking for an instant get-off toy, this probably isn’t the one. But if you’re new to toys, don’t care for very high vibrations, or are looking for a toy just for teasing and foreplay, this really is an excellent choice. The silicone cover and texture really gives it an advantage over your typical hard plastic or porous jelly coated bullets

To keep your toy experiences as safe as possible this toy should be thoroughly cleaned with soap and water after each use. I also gently move around the rings in the silicone and the point where the silicone meets the hard plastic cover with a nail brush just to be sure any bacteria has been removed. Silicone can be cleaned in a bleach solution, but since the plastic portion of this toy is also exposed, I’m not sure if submerging the entire thing in such a solution would be recommended. This is not one to go in the dishwasher or boiled unless you can find a way to get the silicone cover off the bullet - which I’m almost certain cannot be done, at least not without actually cutting it off. I prefer to let mine air dry or dry it with a paper towel because the silicone can be a bit of a fuzz magnet and who wants a furry orange vibrator? Not me. To avoid fuzziness, this can be put in a small toy bag or even a ziploc and then kept in a discreet spot or with your other toys.

As much as I can get really warmed up with this toy, it never seems to take me much further on its own. If I want an orgasm with this toy, I need to add an insertable toy at the very least. Most times I will simply switch to a higher powered toy to finish the job.

While this isn't one of my earth-shattering orgasm toys, it is still worth having. Its textured silicone cover makes it lots of fun to use during foreplay alone or with a partner. If you're not thrilled with the prospect of just another clit vibe, this one definitely does work around the nipples, labia, frenulum (it's one of my boyfriend's favorite spots), and even near the anus (just not before it goes to the girly areas!). It is most likely not great for vaginal penetration though and is definitely not for any anal penetration - you probably don't want to have to explain that to the on-call proctologist. If you do choose to use this on any dry skin areas, you will want to lube it up - the silicone has a decent amount of drag on it so some water based (avoid silicone with this one) lube will help it glide across your skin more pleasurably.

Overall, I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a good, safe, long-lasting foreplay toy or a first bullet vibrator.
