I was so excited to try out this toy! I have limited experience with bullets and have really enjoyed using this one. It definitely sets the bar high.

The bullet (mine is blue) arrived in a disposable plastic package. Thankfully, unlike most plastic-type packaging, it did not have to be cut open – it snaps open and shut. There was an attractive card backing in the package with some brief information on how the bullet works, but it did not come with any detailed instructions. The bullet was shipped with three watch batteries already inside, and there were three spare watch batteries in the package as well. The small spare batteries were not securely packed, so when I opened the package, they fell out and scattered. Make sure you don't lose them! The battery life is fairly decent. I am not sure of the exact length of time, but the first set of batteries lasted through several brief play sessions (5-15 minutes) and one long (45 minutes to an hour) continuous session. So the bullet is great for short or long play periods and you can keep it on for a long time. It's a great price value, especially with the batteries included.

The bullet is small and made of metal, which is non-porous and phthalate-free. This makes it extremely easy to clean ,as well as waterproof and safe for people with sensitive skin or allergies. To clean it, you can just remove the batteries and use hot water and soap or toy cleaner. Metal is also boiling and dishwasher safe, but these cleaning methods might dislodge or damage the decorative crystals that circle the bullet.

The bullet is tiny and very cute. It's smooth except for the little decorative crystals that are just under the cap. The cap screws on and off, allowing for easy battery replacement, and it tightens pretty securely so it won't come unscrewed during play. Since it is very smooth and only two inches in length, it can be difficult to grip, especially when wet. When playing, it sometimes slips out of my hand and this makes it difficult to maintain pressure on my clit.

The only control is a button on the top of the cap, which lights up when the bullet is on. To control the bullet, you press the button to turn it on and hold the button down to increase the intensity. When you let it go, the bullet will stay on. To turn the bullet off, you press the button once, briefly. There is no way to decrease the intensity when it's on – you have to turn it off and start over from the lowest intensity. It took me a bit of experimenting before I got the hang of the controls. I have arthritis in my hands and often find the button difficult to press or hold down hard enough to get the controls to work. This may not be the best toy for people with disabilities, hand or arm pain/injuries, or difficulty with fine motor skills.

The vibrations, even on a low setting, are powerful. On the lower settings the bullet is extremely quiet and you can't hear it even just under covers or clothing. On the highest setting, the vibrations are surprisingly strong and the sound is noticeable – probably not through a door, but to other people in the room. It is similar to the sound made by a vibrating phone. I was concerned the bullet wouldn't be powerful enough or provide enough vibration and pressure to cause a clitoral orgasm – my go-to vibe of choice is the Hitachi, which is insanely strong and heavy – but those concerns were totally misplaced. This bullet can cause powerful orgasms (even in those of us who are used to extremely intense vibrators).

The bullet is extremely versatile and fun to use with other toys. I have used it simultaneously with dildos, and hope to try it with cock rings and other toys. I haven't yet had the chance to use it during intercourse or couples play but it would be an awesome toy for foreplay and clitoral stimulation during intercourse. It's a great bullet for general use, and small and discreet enough for travel.

The tiny size combined with the push-button control is driving me up the wall. I still use the bullet from time to time when doing sex shows or clips because it's small and cute, but it doesn't really get me off. The push-button control requires too much pressure and is too finicky to bother with on a regular basis, especially considering it's difficult to hold the small bullet in place to begin with. It's great for use with toys that have some kind of strap or harness to hold it in place, but not for the kind of day-to-day use I prefer when it comes to vibrators. Definitely avoid this toy if you have any problems with manual dexterity!
