My verdict
Ironically this Bullet is hit or miss, and it has nothing to do with aim. CalExotics' Bullet is pretty great when it works, but getting it to work seems almost as fickle as getting the Blush Lipstick to work. The device is remote controlled, each device requiring a AAA to work, and features 12 settings (mix of vibrations and patterns). Unlike Iroha, CalExotics was not kind enough to include any batteries, so make sure you have some on hand. The Bullet can be fully inserted in either desired entry point and can be easily retrieved with the cord attached to the one end. The device is almost silent to others once inserted which could make it interesting for public use. The remote allows for easy use on your own or with a partner as it can be used up to 32.75 ft (10m) away. No IPX rating given, but it does claim to be usable in and out of water. No use time is given for this device, and given the weird events during testing I'm not even sure how to guess at a proper length so 60 minutes was my overall guesstimate. Can be a great toy for first time users, and can be fun for public/private partner play.
Pros
Features 12 settings, 3 vibrations and 9 patterns, so you can mix it up however you'd like! ;P
Controllable via remote from up to 32.75ft/10m away. Great for single/partner play in public/private
Virtually silent to others when inserted, making it private/public play all that more enjoyable. ;P
No IPX rating given, but claims to be usable in water. Bath time just got a little edgier ;P
Easy travel companion due to small discrete design.
Cons
Does NOT come with any batteries, make sure to have some on hand before using!
Not 100% if it seems to quickly drain batteries, has finnicky circuitry, or I'm using iffy batteries
Use a toothpick or finger nails to clean the ribs as a simple wash will NOT fully clean them out.
No carrying pouch included with the item. Keeps the item clean, hidden, and is easier to travel with

Experience

Much like the Blush Lipstick, this was a mixed experience.

My battery charger says my batteries are good to go, but the device says "uh no" and I'm not quite sure who to believe...

I put a pair of rechargeable batteries in the device that got the green light but the device refused to turn on. I threw the batteries back on the charger despite the light being green and left them on a few more minutes and tried again. It was weird that the third time was the charm but nothing was done differently.

When I finally got it to work for an actual test it was quite enjoyable and surprisingly quiet, but trying to figure out why it doesn't want to work sometimes is bugging me. I was cycling through the settings at one point to see what it could handle and two full cycle throughs, less than 30 seconds between each change, seemed to have killed it, but the batteries were still green when I put them on the charger.

Right now it's making a liar out of me because it's working just fine lol. If it continues to actually work, I'd happily say this is a decent little device and due to its versatility I would definitely consider adding it to the seemingly expanding group of small travel devices.

Packaging

CalExotics was kind enough to send the product in a discreet white bag so it wasn't obvious to everyone around that there's something naughty in the box. The kindness stopped there when they decided not include batteries or a carrying pouch but I digress lol.

The design for this box is a simple four tone, partially open faced look. The front features a window that showcases the product itself, the company name, the product name, three bullets of quick information and an icon showing that it's battery operated. The back portrays a picture of the product, the name of the product, 6 bits of information in a presentation format around the product, 6 more bullets of information off to the side, and a chunk of technical jargon that people would ignore like it's the "Terms of Service". One side of the product is open faced with the product name, while the other also depicts the company name and shares some product information in 4 other languages.

The colors and pattern have an almost retro feel to them, but I like how simplistic but informative the whole presentation of the packaging is. Though I'm still not all that comfortable with admitting I now have a growing collection of sex toys, I feel this type of packaging would be among the few styles I've come across that would encompass that next step/level of being comfortable with my outer appearance of sexuality. I believe this is mostly due to the mild nature of the product itself as it's not phallic or overly sexual in any manner, essentially I'd much rather this be on display than the CalExotic's Jack Rabbit lol.

What's in the Box?!

Inside the package: The product itself, the remote, an instruction pamphlet, signed operating instructions, and a signed EU-Type Examination (Module B) Certificate.

Gotta love knowing the name of the guy that tested the radio device in the product, thanks Gordan A and Wayne Hsu! It would have been nice to see a carrying case included with this product, but CalExotics seems to be all about letting things hangout as they are lol. They are kind enough to allow the package to arrive discretely but after that you're on your own! And get your own batteries while you're at it! :P

Lipstick vs Ume-Anzu vs Bullet

Material - Iroha Mini Ume-Anzu wins, the whole thing is soft and nice to touch!

  1. CalExotics Bullet - Hygienically superior silicone
  2. Iroha Mini Ume-Anzu - Elastomer and ABS
  3. Blush Lipstick - A satin like lipstick tip and ABS casing

Waterproof Settings - Tie between Bullet and Ume-Anzu!

  1. CalExotics Bullet - No official rating listed but can be used under water!
  2. Iroha Mini Ume-Anzu - No official rating listed but can be used under water!
  3. Blush Lipstick - No official rating listed, claims it's waterproof but design doesn't look or feel like it would be.

Run Time - Iroha Mini Ume-Anzu wins for sure consistency and actual listed time!

  1. CalExotics Bullet - Doesn't specify, was finicky during initial testing but currently fine.
  2. Iroha Mini Ume-Anzu - Up to 5 hours
  3. Blush Lipstick - Doesn't specify, but the finicky nature of the device blocks consistent long lengths of use time anyway.

Charging Time - Tie!

  1. CalExotics Bullet - No charge time! Just have at least four rechargeable batteries on hand or a whole pack of regular and enjoy!
  2. Iroha Mini Ume-Anzu - No charge time! Just have at least two rechargeable batteries on hand or a whole pack of regular and enjoy!
  3. Blush Lipstick - No charge time! Just have at least two rechargeable batteries on hand or a whole pack of regular and enjoy!

Size - Tie!

  1. CalExotics Bullet - Perfect travel companion due to its small stature, easy to store and hide Could be passed off as a key fob.
  2. Iroha Mini Ume-Anzu - Perfect travel companion due to its small stature, easy to store and hide. Could be passed off as a lip gloss, blush or lotion.
  3. Blush Lipstick - Perfect travel companion due to its small stature, easy to store and hide especially because it looks exactly like a lipstick.

Vibration Settings - CalExotics Bullet wins!

  1. CalExotics Bullet - 12 settings, decent intensity
  2. Iroha Mini Ume-Anzu - 1 overall setting, but decently intense.
  3. Blush Lipstick - 1 overall setting, but decently intense.

Penetration Ability - CalExotics Bullet wins!

  1. CalExotics Bullet - 3.5" long and fully penetrable.
  2. Iroha Mini Ume-Anzu - Definitely more of an external stimulator. The shape is not the most penetration friendly style.
  3. Blush Lipstick - The lipstick end allows for 1 inch of penetration, but honestly the whole thing could be inserted if truly desired.

Ease of Use Regarding Vibration Settings - Iroha Mini Ume-Anzu wins!

  1. CalExotics Bullet - 12 vibration settings, Single button operation makes this device super simple to use. Quickly press to turn on and cycle through settings, hold down to power off.
  2. Iroha Mini Ume-Anzu - 1 vibration setting. Single button operation makes this device super simple to use. It's located on the side and is very reliable.
  3. Blush Lipstick - 1 vibration setting. Opens like a normal lipstick and turns on when fully extended. Is quite finnicky and is oddly a pain to turn on sometimes.

Ease of Use General Sense - CalExotics Bullet wins!

  1. CalExotics Bullet - Ergonomically friendly, great for clitoral stimulation, made for full insertion, easy to operate, easy battery change, somewhat durable design.
  2. Iroha Mini Ume-Anzu - Ergonomically friendly, decently sized but small rounded tip for nice accuracy and surface coverage, not insertion friendly, easy to operate, easy battery change, and durable design.
  3. Blush Lipstick - Ergonomically friendly, small lipstick tip makes it easy to pinpoint that exact spot, insertion friendly, conceptually easy to operate but inconsistent with when the circuit is closed and operational, battery cover is a bit of a pain, and does not feel all that durable.

Overall winner by Personal Preference: CalExotics Bullet wins, so long as it doesn't clonk out and act strange again like it did during testing for videos/pics. If it clonks out again, Ume-Anzu remains the winner as far as my currently owned battery operated toys are concerned.

I'm genuinely amazed I'm here! Though I can come off very flirty and sometimes talk a big game, when it comes to certain sexual aspects I am actually quite shy, slightly uncomfortable, lacking in confidence and can sometimes be downright prudish lol. My sex life always consisted of my favorite fingers or an actual man. (Shocking I know!) Toys were something I felt would disrupt intimacy or ruin my ability to orgasm without one. Let's face it, a man can't vibrate like a motor can or always keep up with the Energizer Bunny lol. It was actually a recent relationship with vastly different libidos that resulted in the strangest gift of my 1st ever toy: an egg w/ an app and settings created by other users. At first it felt like cheating... Over time, it became a boost to my independence/self-confidence and I realized I needed to learn to love myself in new ways. This is a definitely surprising step in my journey of self exploration, but one that I hope can oddly help others in theirs too!

  • An Interesting Night Out with the Blush Rose Lipstick Vibe

    It's a gamble that could be worth it more than it's not. Go into it with low expectations and give it the chance to surprise you like it did me! With finicky circuitry that made it a chore to initially keep on without bumping it out of place, this thing seemed like it was going to be destined for the trash bin. With a design that actually seems to concentrate the vibration in a beautifully easy to aim point that seems to allow me to focus on that one spot that really wants it...It's more than proved it's worth keeping! Regarding the "Duration of Use", it was not a fully tested feature, so I made a minimum best guess thinking it should more than likely last longer. Testing it for my photo/video op took longer than it took me to reach satisfaction and I believe it would have kept going just fine and dandy. My guess is however long a AAA battery usually lasts would be the duration, and if you have rechargeable ones on hand and can move fast like you're working a NASCAR pit you'll have a good time! ;P

  • Inya: The Rose Review - I've Been Kissed By A Rose ♫♪

    This is the type of flower you should ask for or receive when your partner wants to say sorry or just wants to surprise you! It's a flower that'll last you a lifetime and it's a gift that keeps on giving! Don't be fooled by its size, it packs quite the punch even on its lowest setting, and there are 6 others you can explore (mix of steady and pulsing)! If you're a bit on the sensitive side like me, the 45 minute use span might last an eternity as the intensity drove me crazy in under a minute and I was definitely done in under 5. ;P Its inconspicuous design allows you to leave it out in the open for easy access, or carry it around without issue. Simply tell people it's a rose shaped speaker or whatever you can imagine!

  • Satisfyer Mission Control Review: Houston We Have Liftoff!

    "Mission Control, this is NotSoInnocent, it seems this rocket was able to take us further than we could have ever imagined!" This is "one small step" further into the realm of clitoral stimulation toys that can help you take a "giant leap" into ecstasy! If Buzz Lightyear had to satisfy you with a rocket (that wasn't his own ;P), this would be the one! All puns aside, I would definitely recommend this product! The variety of settings and the waterproof rating make it an awesome companion!

  • ROMP Lipstick Review: For Plumper Lips Try This!

    My makeup bag just got a little fuller and so did my lips! ;P The usual price for this device is a bit scary, especially in comparison to the Blush Lipstick, but I'd definitely recommend snatching it up when it goes on sale for around the same price as the Blush as it's sooo worth it! As someone that's still new to the world of toys it was the perfect little introduction to the world of clitoral stimulation ones. It's quiet, compact, soft to the touch and more than capable of getting the job done on its own, but it has the ability due to its small stature to be used with penetrating toys like the Blush Lipstick or others without getting in the way! I'm not much of a make-up gal, but having these two types of lipsticks in my bag guarantees I can have a good night on the town, anytime and anywhere!

    Our Erotic Journey's Virgo Mini Vibe Review!

    I love this little vibrator! The Virgo Mini Vibe had just enough kick, at the right price, to be a perfect addition to your toy collection. I love that the Virgo Mini Vibe is shaped like a woman, (a virgin), to resemble the meaning of the zodiac sign, "Virgo,". I am a Virgo and was born September 13, and I just love that this toy comes from an entire collection of toys, curated to fit your zodiac sign. It's quiet enough to be sneaky in public, charges quickly, and is small enough to fit right in your purse, or bag, etc. The silicon is high quality, medical grade silicon. And the price, for what you get can't be beat. I couldn't find a lot of instructions online, or see how long it actually takes to charge or how long the battery life is, but I have only charged it once, for about an hour, and it has lasted a couple uses at this point. The only issue I have with this toy is that the vibrations are not as strong as I would prefer, and therefore, I am giving this toy a 4/5.

    Smooth and Beginner Friendly: Plus One’s Vibrating Wand

    The Plus One Vibrating Wand is smooth in every sense of the word. Suave, moderately powerful vibrations radiate from its broad, soft head with a flexible neck, giving you total control of where the vibes go and how much pressure they apply. Overall, I was satisfied with this toy - it doesn’t have the strength of other wands, but the cadence of the vibrations rolls instead of pounds, making this wand more sensual than most vibrators. It has 10 settings varying in intensity and pattern, is cordless, and fully waterproof. The silicone surrounding the toy is soft and feels nice in your hand as you maneuver the wand. It's a great first wand or vibrator, but I wouldn’t recommend it to experienced players looking for a new toy. For my taste, it was a little too simple. However, there really isn’t anything to complain about.

    The Blush Allana Wand Is One High-Speed Setting After Another

    This is the third wand I've tested, and I have to say that wands are not my thing. My little lollipop-looking one was fun and perfect for me, but this powerful little beast from Blush has even more of a kick than the bigger-sized one I also tried out from another brand. Even the lowest setting on the Allana wand is powerful and hard to handle if you're not used to that much vibration. Now I know why I learned from the adult toy store I worked at for two weeks that wands are an acquired toy and can ruin you if you're not careful! I don't want to give you a bad outlook on this toy, though. Just because it's not for me doesn't mean that someone who loves using wands wouldn't find enjoyment in this particular toy. It has lots of benefits we'll get to soon.

    Dame Arc: Simple, Powerful & Orgasmic

    Before we get into the review, I just want to preface this with how the Dame Arc blew my mind with how simple it is to use. It literally has an on/off button that doubles as a mode select & speed down button. That's it. We also liked that the default settings are just vibrate and the raised button that increases the intensity is easy to find, and lifts the speed through the 5 levels of rumbly vibrations. We also likes that it doesn't have any of those morse code patterns! Who even uses those anyway!? (no judgement if you do, its just not for us. lol) Onto the toy, it is easy to use and the head is smaller than most g-spot vibrators which she likes as anything bigger can be a bit painful to insert. The Arc is powerful and versatile that has 5 speed settings as well as 5 vibration patterns and as I said already, these 5 patters are actually reasonable and nice. The vibrations are rumbly and surprisingly deep for a toy that is so lightweight, but I I have been noticing this more in toys.
