I love the way this vibe looks but I hate the fact that it's loud and all the functions are controlled by one button. If you are looking for a basic multifunction bullet this might be the one for you. I felt like I spent too much time positioning and rearranging this toy for it to cut down on noise and be effective. In my opinion, the toys are supposed to be doing most of the work.

Pros
Cute design, multifunction
Cons
Not water proof, loud, only one button for control, gets hot
This little vibrating bullet is best suited for clitoral stimulation. You might also use this bullet to stimulate the outside of the anus, nipples or maybe even your partner's sack if he's into a varied vibration in that area. I think it would be great for someone who loves to use bullets but wants a little more than just a steady buzz. It would work as a starter toy if you want to explore toys with different functions. This was my first bullet that had different functions instead of variable speeds only and I felt like it was a good introduction to what's out there. The small size of the bullet makes for a more localized vibration so don't expect your whole world to be vibrating. I see this toy being used by a couple for teasing and foreplay or just by yourself if you need to play alone. I haven't tried doing this but I think this bullet might work okay inside of a dildo or another toy that you can put bullets into. Just be sure that it fits before you try this so you don't wind up with this thing inside another toy forever.
The Precious Metal Jewels bullet is made of a rigid, smooth plastic that is non-porous. This makes for easy cleaning before and after use. This toy is also phthalate-free and odor free, which is another plus. I love the smoothness of this bullet but there is a seam that I was able to feel when it was moved around on the clit during use.
The design of this 10 function bullet vibe is one of the best features. Its smooth plastic boasts a super cute purple metallic sheen and is very smooth to the touch. There is only one button for all the controls of this toy and it has a purple light behind it that flashes to indicate what setting you are on. The bullet itself is very compact (2in length) and is made from two different sections that create a seam. Keep this in mind during cleaning. You don't want any left over lubrication getting stuck in there. It has a larger power pack (5in length) that fits nicely in your hand for better control. Twist off the cap to the power pack and there is a battery compartment for two AAA batteries that slides in and out of the outer casing. There is an arrow on it showing which way the battery pack goes and a corresponding arrow on the inside of the casing to match it to. I only figured this out after trying several times to get the dang thing to fit.
I love the cord on this bullet. It seems much more durable than other bullets I have purchased and I think it would protect the life of the toy even if you use it often. The cord itself is a clear type of rubber or soft plastic that houses wiring inside and plugs into the power pack. It has a rubber like plug where it meets the bullet that firmly holds the cord in place. Although it isn't waterproof, this gives me a little more assurance that the motor won't likely be damaged from any accidental lube or cleaning leaks.
The Precious Metal Jewels Bullet offers 10 different functions. As per the packaging the functions are defined as:
-Vibrate High
-Vibrate Medium
-Vibrate Low
-Gradient Burst
-Intermittent
-Surge
-Inta-surge
-Even Step
-Roller Coaster Spurt
-Pulsate
There is one button that controls everything for this vibe. Press the button once to turn it on, the button's back light will come on. To cycle through the different settings you simply press the button until you find one you like. To turn this toy off you hold down the button until it shuts off.
The standard steady constant buzz that you find on most other vibrators is completely backwards on this vibe. Instead of increasing in intensity, it starts at high and ends at low. I personally like to start out at a lower setting and work my way up to clit numbing high. This toy doesn't allow for that, so it forces me to use it in a way that doesn't do much for a climax build up.
This toy doesn't offer the typical memory either. Instead of remembering the setting you were last on, it starts on the next setting. So if you were on the Roller Coaster when you turned it off, it would be on Pulsate when you powered it up again. I found this annoying since it doesn't have a dedicated starting setting. It makes finding your favored setting a search.
When I first tested this toy in my hands it really showed its power. Within just a few minutes my hands were starting to feel numb. Sadly, the power here doesn't equal discreet. This toy is not a quiet one. It definitely reflects the amount of power through noise. This toy was heard under covers and although it was faint I did hear it through a door. I did notice that it seemed to make even more noise when used up against my body. It seemed like since I was using the bullet to apply pressure, it caused the motor to work harder and made a loud straining sound.
I think that although the small size can be convenient, it didn't leave any room for heat insulation for the motor. At first I thought that it might have been residual body heat. But after I used it a couple times I realized that it was getting hot on its own. I don't always feel comfortable using toys that get hot so quickly on my sensitive bits so I'm pretty cautious when I use this toy.
You can easily clean this toy by using hot water and soap or specifically formulated toy wipes. This is not a water proof toy, so keep this in mind for cleaning. You can't boil or submerge this one. If you want to store it in its original packaging, it came in a plastic shell that it pops in and out of easily. This will keep the cord from becoming too tangled in your toy box. I have been storing it this way and have found that the small size of the box makes it easy to retrieve when needed. The packaging suggests always using a water based lubrication for maximum pleasure but this type of plastic is rated for oil and silicone based lubes as well.
The bullet came in a small cute clear plastic box with an internal shell to hold the vibe in place. There are three spaces in the shell to hold the bullet, the power pack and to store the cord. The instructions that came with this toy were pretty slim pickings. It visually shows how to insert the batteries and plug the bullet into the power pack. It also included a list of the 10 different functions this bullet has to offer and a small warning section. Basically, to use the batteries in the way they were intended and follow the installation instructions.
Good for storage
Follow-up commentaryI still don't like it11 days after original review
I was super excited to get this bullet and try it out, only to be let down by its loud vibration noise, and the fact that it heats up. These things still bother me. I try to use this still, but each time I'm left feeling a bit overwhelmed from trying to position it, and getting it to stay in the place. If you are used to bigger style bullets, this one might not be the bullet for you. I do still think that it would make for a great beginner bullet - especially if you have never played with a varied vibration toy. Just be prepared for a little bit of work on your end.
