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!

  • Venice Vixen Review: Baby Why Don't We Go Down to KoKomo ♪

    Gotta get the usual puns/jokes and comments out of the way... Ready to get down and dirty in the sand?! Talk about fun in the sun! Sex on the beach anyone? Okay, got that out of my system... CalExotics Venice Vixen is my favorite "all in one" toy by CalExotics thus far as it's internally and externally stimulating at the same time. Compared to the Jack Rabbit it feels better built and high quality, with a different and personally more preferred shaft shape. The best thing about the Jack Rabbit was the ears, which in all honest I prefer to have over the encaser the Venice Vixen has to offer as they are just... more invigorating. Incase you're wondering and want an easy summation of features, the CalExotics Venice Vixen has 10 clitoral encaser modes, 3 shaft intensities, a use time of 45 min on high and 150 on low, a charge time of 150 mins, and though no IPX rating is officially provided it claims it's waterproof.

  • Adam & Eve Intimate Curves Wand Review: Not an Ollivanders' Wand but Still Pretty Magical

    Seemingly out of wand puns somehow, so disappointing! ><' The Adam & Eve Intimate Curves Rechargeable Wand is an excellent personal massager, vibrator and clitoral stimulator. It has a 3 hour use time on low, a 1.3 hour use time on high, is submersible in water, is dual ended and has 10 settings, 3 vibrations and 7 patterns, which start out at a decent intensity. Excellent for a first time wand user, no need to be a witch or wizard to use it lol.

  • CalExotics French Kiss Review: Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir? ♪

    This lip-locking sensual sucker is the best kisser in town! To semi quote Diageo from Silicon Valley... "This toy fuuucks!" *mind blown emoji lol* CalExotics French Kiss is hands down my favorite CalExotics toy thus far! My favorite part of the CalExotics' Jack Rabbit was the ticklishly tantalizing ears, and that's now been combined with the sucking sensation I've "come" to enjoy from toys like the Satisfyer Mission Control and Romp Lipstick... Merci for the toy I never knew I was missing out on lol. This beautiful toy has the poise of the INYA Rose but is bit better in several ways. It has 12 totally fuckable functions, two interchangeable heads, a travel lock setting, a memory chip and can be submersed in water... Can you say... "Ooo la la!" xD

    plusOne Dual Vibrating Massager: Intense Vibrations at an Affordable Price

    The plusOne Dual Vibrating Massager packs a lot of power for its price. My partner originally purchased it before we got together, and while it’s not a match for my rumbly preferences, I can see why it’s a favorite. The flexible design, waterproof build, and dual motors make it versatile, but the intensely buzzy vibrations turned me off. But it’s a solid choice for anyone seeking intense sensations on a budget.

    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.

    Pleasure On-the-Go

    The PlusOne On-The-Go Travel Vibrator surprised me in all the best ways. While it is very small, it churns out varied vibrations with just a touch of a button. The exterior is a bit of a hit and miss, the tip is somehow very soft but the rest of the device feels a little tacky or plastic-like. The glide on the skin is a little "jerky" so lube is needed. The vibrator is also waterproof, battery operated and mostly directed towards external use (although some shallow internal use is possible). While I loved its portability and performance, the motor is slightly noisy—kicking out the possibility of being discreet in use, but it lives up to its name and is definitely an on-the-go travel bullet.

    Small But Mighty Bullet - Maia Jessi Review

    It took me five minutes, with instructions in hand, to discover how to ignite the device. Hold for three seconds to turn on, click gently to switch between settings. The lights are subtle, so that’s nice. The power was way more than any of my off-brand Hitachi wands or previous bullet vibrators. It has no bells and whistles. No remote. Not even a handle to relieve some of the intense power from reaching my hands. My skin felt the vibrations without actually touching the device, so playing with the settings and the physical placement allowed a diverse range of sensations. I feel like this toy has three ideal settings: in a sleeve or other holder (and its intense power would allow this and not have its effectiveness dampened), as a toy to tease or torture a partner, or for discretion, something to sneak to work or toss in a suitcase. I lament that these types of vibrating toys never have a way to track what setting you are on, and as far as I can tell, this toy does not. You are left to count and listen to the various noise patterns to determine which settings you are and find your favorites. For solo insertion, this toy seems too small to hold and the completely smooth shape means if you want to dip inside you better have practice with jade eggs and other Kegel-style “exercisers.” The force of the device seems to muddy where the toy impacts sensation more, on the hand or on the target. There is a technique, if you balance the vibrator like a top or a driedel, using only minimal pressure from one finger, that you can enjoy the toy solo without the heavy aftershocks in the hands. The size of this little guy leads me to explore if I can find new uses for it… So while it may not be practical and for immediate needs, it certainly inspires my creativity. With some stores offering this toy at $18 (Walmart), this toy provides more power and enjoyment than expected, I will probably save it for play at an unexpected unexpected place and time, not in the bedroom.

    Finger on the Pulse with Trojan

    The Trojan Finger Tip Vibrator is a lightweight, one button toy that’s made from soft silicone, so it feels good against the skin—but don’t expect it to blow your britches off. The material itself is hygienic (easy to clean) and body-safe, and the ribbed design offers a nice tactile sensation when you touch it. However, getting that smooth, glide-worthy play experience does require a bit more effort, so you’ll definitely want to use a generous amount of lube. Now, let’s talk about the finger loop. This is where things get a little tricky. The loop can be a bit fidgety, and if your fingers aren’t the perfect fit, the toy can wobble during use. For smaller hands (like mine), it’s a little more awkward to keep it in place, which can be a bit frustrating when you’re trying to stay in the moment. A more adjustable loop or better grip would’ve made this design a lot more user-friendly. The single-speed vibration is another area where this toy falls short. It’s definitely more of a gentle hum than the intense buzz that’s advertised. If you’re looking for something to really pack a punch, this won’t do the trick. It’s more about teasing and warming up, so it’s a great option for light, easy play (plus side its quiet). Another thing to keep in mind is the battery situation. While it’s convenient to pop in button cells, they can add up over time, which is something to think about if you plan on using this regularly.
