With all of the corded bullet vibes around I wasn’t expecting a whole lot out of California Exotics Body and Soul Passion. I was very very pleasantly surprised. The bullet is about 3.5 inches around and 2 and a half inches tall. The cord is 30.5 inches long and it runs on two AA batteries. Both the bullet and the remote are made from phthalate free ABS plastic with a PU coating. They both have a really nice soft, smooth texture.

The box it came in is nothing to write home about. It's not at all discreet, sturdy or something you’ll want to keep. It’s a plain white box with a picture of the product, its name written across the top and some other miscellaneous info.

The bullet is controlled by the attached remote. The remote is about 5 inches long and sits really nice in my hand. It only has one button, which is placed perfectly for your thumb when it’s being held.

Although this toy only has two vibration settings, they’re both quite powerful. I actually wouldn’t mind one lower setting in addition to the other two if I had to be picky, but I’m very happy with the settings it has. I recently bought Lelo’s Siri and I’d say that the lowest setting on the Body and Soul is close to the same as Siri on its highest setting. As far as noise goes, it’s much louder than Siri, probably about average, but not so loud that it can be heard through a door.

This is my first toy that boasts infrared heat, and it’s amazing. When you turn the toy on a red light glows inside the bullet. It takes a little time to heat up but once it does it's about the perfect temperature, noticeable but not hot or painful.

Overall, the Body and Soul is very quickly becoming one of my favorite toys, which is not an honor I ever expected would be bestowed on a bullet.

This is still one of my absolute favorites, and despite frequent use, it's holding up very well. It seems to drain batteries at a very reasonable rate. I've only replaced them once, and that was because they seemed slightly diminished and not due to them running out of juice.
