Who hasn't wished for better performance, more vibration options and a dedicated on/off button for their bullets? Don't forget high quality materials, waterproofing and quiet noise levels, either. Does anyone make a bullet to fit these qualifications? Prior to using the Extreme Gold Bullet I would have said no. California Exotics has raised the bar with this bullet and controller, it offers every one of the options listed above....and then some!
A great, high quality bullet is an extremely versatile and pleasurable toy that can be used effectively by everyone. The extreme gold is a high quality, compact and powerful bullet & controller that has raised the bar for bullet performance.
Couples can use this bullet for massages, foreplay teasing, clitoral orgasms during intercourse, anal vibrations during intercourse, vibrations during oral sex and as additions to their vibrating cock rings. A good bullet can prolong the life of disposable cock rings by allowing for longer use and they make a great finger vibrator or hand hold for less numbing of fingers during play.
Men can use bullets for solo sessions, testicular stimulation, shaft and head vibrations and nipple teasing. Women have the options of kegel exercises, G-spot stimulation, nipple stimulation and clitoral stimulation while using this bullet.
The bullet and controller is constructed of smooth, hard plastic. Plastic has a high safety rating of 8, is easily cleaned and disinfected and is non-porous. It is a safe material for shared toys if cleaned properly between uses and condoms are used. There is no odor to this bullet.
The plastic gets very slippery after lube application and care should be taken if holding it with your fingers. The controller should not come into contact with lube, since the ability to hold on to it and control the functions will be affected. It will not damage the controller but does make it hard for you to use properly.
The cord is covered with wire coating and does have a faint odor if placed up to your nose. I was unable to smell it when used as intended.
The bullet is shiny, silver plastic that is completely smooth. There is a seam in the middle but it was smooth and I was unable to feel it during use. The bullet is 2" long and 1" diameter, very compact but extremely powerful. The motor is fairly quiet but did have a small level of noise on a couple of the vibration variants. I will cover the vibrations and noise levels in the Functions section.
The cord is fairly short at about 20". It is coated with wire covering and is fairly thin. There is a waterproof plug where it joins the bullet. I do not suggest using excessive pulling of the cord, this tends to short them out which will eventually lead to the death of your bullet. If you are using your bullet for insertion, I recommend using a condom for removal purposes. This will extend the life of your bullet by reducing the stress of tugging the cord for removal.
The controller is very compact and comfortable to use. It is 3 1/2" long, 1" wide and 1/2" thick on the finger holds. The back has molded indentations for your fingers, the front has a molded indentation for your thumb and the base is round. It is comfortable to hold on to and the finger molds make it easy to use the controls without looking. I have never seen or used a more ergonomic controller.
The base screws off for battery insertion. You will need 2 AAA batteries. These do last quite awhile unless you use this bullet on the highest power for extended periods of time. I was able to get about 4-6 hours of use out of the batteries depending on what levels I tried.
The bullet is waterproof and very easy to use. I would recommend using oil or silicone lube if playing in the water, however for daily use out of the tub I use water based lubricants. The water did not dampen the intensity of the vibrations and the noise levels were muted.
This controller has a dedicated on/off button. This means you no longer have to cycle through the vibration levels to turn the bullet off when you are finished. Just push the off button and smile! There is no memory, so you will have to remember which pulsation you were at if the button gets pushed by accident.
There are 10 levels of vibrations and pulses that are changed by pushing the top button on the controller. The new pulsation patterns available make this a unique experience that was also extremely enjoyable. The levels are:
1. Low steady vibration
2. Medium steady vibration
3. High & fast steady vibration (slightly louder)
4. 5 quick burst, 1 steady escalating burst
5. Series very quick bursts
6. Faster and closer version of #5 (slightly louder)
7. Escalating power and 5 short bursts
8. Short burst escalating to couple longer bursts
9. Steady escalation to very high vibration that ends with flutters (slightly louder)
10. Flutters, escalating pulses, longer harder pulses to steady burst
The basic noise level of this bullet is extremely quiet, however on the levels noted above, the level increased slightly and my husband was able to notice them when he was standing about four to five feet away. Under a blanket, this would be soundless.
Since the Extreme Gold Bullet is hard plastic, clean up is a breeze. Wash the bullet with warm soapy water, rinse and dry. I always go back over it with a toy cleaner, but rubbing alcohol is very effective as well.
I use a damp washcloth or toy wipe for the cord and controller. Be careful when wiping around the controls and cord entrance. For any residue in the seam of the bullet, I use a baby toothbrush and scrub gently until clean.
I use the plastic insert and box this product came in for storage. It is compatible with other materials, however, I keep all products away from jellies and silicones due to melting and discoloration issues.
The package is a plastic, see-through box that is not discreet. The printing does inform you of the waterproof capability, the 10 function vibrations, LED power and vibration light, EZ on/off button, whisper quiet and that it is a powerful & discreet bullet.
I do use the box for storage, but for travel I would use a small make up bag. This bullet fits very nicely in a purse pocket or eyeglass case.
I am overjoyed and very impressed with this extremely powerful bullet!! My husband loves this in his cock rings, (we loved the Edens disposable vibrating cock ring with this bullet). I like using the bullet in a cock ring and using the shaft ring for either a finger vibe or handle. This greatly reduces numbing to my fingers and hands.
I have always had a few complaints about the bullets with controllers I have used, but this bullet has gone over the top in user friendliness!! Dedicated on/off switch!! Multi-functions!!!
Extreme power & quiet!! Oh, heaven in a bullet.
Follow-up commentaryI still like it7 days after original review
This bullet is wonderful and has so much going for it. It is a perfect match for the Edens Vibrating Cock Ring and adds so many options for your special man. My husband and I have about 36 hours on ours and the cord is still in great shape. Of course, we also apply a dab of glue gun glue to the corded end of the bullet and cover it with latex. Neither of us have any allergy to it, so this is perfect for those annoying shorts that kill your little bullets.

Yes I am so excited now. I have this on it's way and now I am looking forward to it even more now! Excellent review thanks! I didn't realize it had so many functions.

Very nice, detailed review! This product seems pretty interesting, and it's good to know it's a cut above most similar toys.
I enjoyed reading this. Thank you!
(Re)tired Stripper
Thank you for such a thorough review! This looks excellent and strong. I have never purchased a bullet/controller yet, but this might be the first.

Why are AAA batteries a con?

Most of my products have AA batteries, so it means I must buy two different battery sizes.
I enjoyed reading this. Thank you!
