squishy friend
This bullet isn't the best product on the market, it has some sizable flaws. However, it is soft, impressive and it's definitely worth the price. I would recommend this product as an add on to a larger order, to avoid shipping costs.

Pros
cute, removable cord, soft, on/off button.
Cons
not strong enough for some, not good for insertion, lint magnet, not waterproof.
Use
The Large Soft Bullet from Shaki Toys is primarily intended for clitoral use. It could also be easily used to tease most erogenous areas.
I would warn against using this toy internally, because it doesn't stay in unless you push it in all the way, which is a bad idea for 2 reasons. One, because it's probably a bad idea to use the power cord as a retrieval cord, I imagine this would shorten the life of the toy considerably, and two, because the seam around the cord is open and could easily collect bodily fluids which would then be impossible to clean out.
For the reasons already listed, as well of the fact that it has no flared base, I also wouldn't use the anally.
Material / Texture
My favourite feature of this bullet is how soft it is. It reminds me of a child's toy, but much more fun.
It doesn't have any texture, just the slight drag that most silicone products have. It does have a slight seam that runs along it, but it can't be felt when in use.
All silicone picks up lint to some degree, but this bullet is especially bad for this. It picks up everything, and the white silicone makes it that much more obvious. Proper storage is important if you want to keep it lint/hair free, a lint free pouch or plastic box would be best. I'm keeping mine in the nice plastic box that came with my useless Roulette Croupier.
This toy, like any good silicone product, has no taste or smell.
Design / Shape / Size
This product is bigger than most bullets, but that's a plus for me. The motor is strong enough to satisfy most people(3.5 vrooms), but the large head is bad for pinpoint stimulation.
It takes 3 AAA batteries that are easily accessible in a plastic compartment.
The bullet has a cord that goes to a removable battery compartment. I like the removable cord, it makes it much easier to store.
Functions / Performance / Controls
It has two buttons on the battery compartment, an on/off switch on the top and a mode button below that cycles through it's 7 patterns. The patterns are:
1 weak
2 medium
3 strong
4 weak to strong
5 strong pulse
6 fast medium pulse
7 strong again
Every time you start the toy, it starts at the 1st setting. It also has a light that mimics the setting that you have it on, I don't really see much use for the light. It really isn't that loud, 2-3 buzzes depending on function, loudest corresponding with strongest, but even at the loudest/strongest it can't be heard through a closed door.
I'm very impressed by the on/off button, I wish all toys had something so easy. I also have a housemate who places high value on 'social time', so I have often been interrupted. Someone living alone probably won't care if it takes a couple extra seconds to turn off.
Care and Maintenance
Silicone should only be used with water-based lube and shouldn't be stored with other silicone toys because the the silicones can become degraded and tacky.
As for cleaning, you can use mild soap, wipe, or toy cleaner, but beware of the open seam on the bottom as it is not waterproof. My preference would be wipes or soap and a damp cloth, just to be safe.
Packaging
The packaging is not particularly subtle, with a naked woman and a stripper pole as part of the decoration. Thankfully EF's packaging is appropriately subtle, so noone really needs to see Shaki's packaging.

I got the We Vibe Tango in the mail and this toy just can't compete. I still think it's a great bullet for its price range, but I don't see myself pulling this out of the toy box any time soon.
