My verdict
I usually don't pay much attention to the small products by the cash register, but in this case, I'm so glad I did. The 3-Speed PowerBullet is a solid choice for beginners or anyone looking to enhance their toy collection without spending much. It's small, versatile, and surprisingly powerful for its size, with three speeds that deliver rumbly vibrations.
While the design isn't perfect—its size can make it tricky to handle, and the vibrations linger in your fingers—it works well when paired with other toys like dildos or harnesses. The included LR44 batteries last a while, but I'd recommend the rechargeable version if you can afford the small price jump. Overall, it's a reliable, no-frills mini vibrator that gets the job done.
- Pros
- Strong, rumbly vibrations in three speeds
- Compact size makes it ideal for pairing with other toys
- Budget-friendly price point
- Cons
- Small size and smooth exterior can be tricky to handle
- Runs on LR44 batteries, which can add to long-term costs
- Entire toy vibrates, which may cause lingering sensations in fingers
Design
The first thing to know about BMS Factory’s PowerBullet is that it’s small – just 2.5 inches long and barely wider than my thumb. This size fits into snug openings or pockets on other products. Still, I found it more challenging to handle when using it independently. You have to hold on to it, or it can roll around, and since the entire bullet vibrates, the sensations linger in my fingers for a while afterwards.
The PowerBullet is designed strictly for external use, and I didn’t dare to test it otherwise – the risk of it slipping or getting stuck felt way too high. Its plastic surface has a slight texture, which helps with grip and keeps it looking decent over time. Mine probably has a bunch of tiny scratches, but you’d never notice.
Visually, it definitely looks like a cheaper vibrator, but honestly, that’s what it is.
Experience
Using the 3-speed PowerBullet was a surprisingly delightful experience. All three speeds are rumbly (my favorite vibration style) and stronger than I expected for something so small. The button is soft and easy to operate – one press to turn it on, three quick presses to cycle through the speeds, and a final press to turn it off. No fumbling or frustration while figuring it out, which is always a bonus.
It was more versatile than I was expecting. The tip of the PowerBullet makes for more focused vibrations, but it’s a bit too wide for me to describe them as “pinpoint.” If you lay the bullet on its side, it distributes the sensations a little.
Admittedly, I never intended to use the PowerBullet on its own when I first bought it. I purchased it together with a Fuze silicone dildo for a strap-on setup. It worked perfectly in that combination, offering lots of extra sensations without making the dildo heavy or clunky. It also fits in other toys I own, like Starsi or Zeep from Cute Little Fuckers, and some harnesses.
Price
The 3-speed PowerBullet has a budget-friendly price tag, typically retailing between $7-12 USD. It’s a solid option for curious first-timers without committing to a more expensive toy. Plus, it's an affordable way to add more variety to your existing collection because it can pair with other toys or strap-on harnesses with an opening for a mini vibrator.
BMS Factory also offers a rechargeable version for only about $10 USD more. If you can afford it, I’d highly recommend going for that instead – LR44 batteries aren’t cheap, and you’ll save money in the long run.
Performance
For a small toy, the 3-speed PowerBullet performs reliably and consistently. It comes with batteries that last a surprisingly long time – I’ve only had to replace them once or twice since I bought my PowerBullet in 2021. Switching out the batteries is straightforward – you twist apart the casing, shake out the old batteries, and then slide in the new ones. It’s probably a good idea to have extra LR44 batteries on hand in case it dies mid-session.
Packaging
The packaging for the 3-speed PowerBullet is minimal. The product is typically sold in a fishbowl-style display at the front of stores with several color options. The bullet comes in a plastic sanitary coating with a label that directs you to the BMS Factory website for product information and the user manual. It’s nothing fancy, but it’s all you need.

Materials and care
The 3-speed PowerBullet is made from ABS plastic with a UV coating, which makes it extremely easy to clean. Its smooth, waterproof design means you can rinse it under water or use a toy-safe cleaner. The only areas that require a bit more attention are around the button and where the casing connects, but they’re well-sealed.
For maintenance, BMS Factory recommends removing the batteries when not using the PowerBullet to preserve battery life and prevent potential corrosion. Honestly, I've never done this myself, but I do store mine in a small box oso the button won't get pressed accidentally.
