My verdict

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.

Pros

Soft feel
Clean design
Discreet

Cons

Noisy
Intense vibration can be hard on the hands

Design

This vibrator is small, sleek, and soft. It is very plain and has a variety of appealing colors.

Experience

The intensity of the product was a double-edged sword for solo play as the same power that makes it effect the skin without actually touching only causes feedback into the hands.

Quality

At the price point, it seems very good quality for the price. I have paid more for less in the past.

Price

I saw this product listed at Walmart for $18 and at specialty retailers for as much as $30. I think it packs a powerful punch at that price point.

Performance

This product has more settings and power than I expected.

Packaging

The packaging allowed full view of the product without opening and offered company information, like socials, and basic information about the product itself in a tiny box. The box is efficiently packed and organized and the instructions straightforward.

Special feature

The ease of one-button use was handy once you got used to it.

Charging Port

This was a little confusing-- you literally have to penetrate the power button with the cord to charge. (Photo also shows the instruction card.)

    Pure Envy: Say Hello to My Little Friend! ;P

    Every man's new favorite slogan: "Small Package, Big Orgasms!" Pure Envy's My Little Friend should make all of my other mini vibrators envious since it quickly became a top favorite! It's so tiny, which just in aesthetics makes it a winner in my book, but despite it's small stature it feels quite powerful! This device has pinpoint accuracy, 10 overall settings, is super quiet, utterly tiny and discrete, quite powerful and just awesome. The only downsides are the fact that there's no real difference between the first intensity and the third, it's oh so slight; there's no carrying pouch; and there is uncertainty about the IPX rating, the site says IPX5 but the box says fully waterproof. An IPX5 rating can withstand being under the sink and in the shower, but can NOT be used in the bathtub or fully submersed in water for any period of time. Make sure to dry the toy well after washing. Though there is no real difference in the first 3 settings, they do start out with an unexpected and enjoyable punch.

    CalExotics Bullet Review: I'd Take This Bullet For You Any Day ;P

    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.

    The Bunny G Rabbit (AZURE Collection) - Beginner Vibrations

    As a vibrator, it gets the job done. 12 different vibrations add spontaneity and appeal to a wider audience, BUT there were some settings that were just too much for me. Highly recommended for beginners who prefer stimulation over penetration. The penetrator itself wasn't quite built for my anatomy - a common problem with rabbit vibrators - and I ended up spending more time trying to figure out how to angle it instead of enjoying myself. However, the vibrating 'crab claw' was great! There were some settings that were a little too overstimulating, but that isn't something that can't be adjusted with an extra layer of fabric in between or applying less pressure. I liked that the handle was easy to hold for the stimulator, but as soon as I tried using the penetrator I found myself positioned rather awkwardly. Did not end up being able to comfortably use it in that regard.

    Tracy's Dog Swirlii Review: Bow Wow WooooooW

    Tracy's Dog Swirlii makes me want to howl with pleasure and beg for more! I swear I'm not a bad girl, I made that mess cause I was excited! I don't know what experienced toy lovers like and don't, but I have to say, as whatever level user I am at the moment, that this toy is spectacular! I wanted to grind against the clit stimulator like a dog humping a leg regardless of the setting it was on, and the rotations of the dildo made my eyes roll back.

    Swan Rechargeable Bullet Pink – The Little Powerhouse That Stole Our Hearts ❤️

    The Swan Rechargeable Bullet Pink – The Little Toy That Puts Bigger Toys to Shame We’ve tried so many vibrators. Some were good, some were okay, and some… well, let’s just say they ended up in the “never again” pile. But every once in a while, a toy comes along that changes the game and this is one of them. At first glance, the Swan Rechargeable Bullet looks like just another bullet vibe. Cute, compact, travel-friendly. Nothing you haven’t seen before, right? Wrong. The first time we turned it on, we knew it was different. The power. The depth. The ridiculous “how is this thing so strong?” vibrations. And the best part? It never disappoints. Some toys start out strong but weaken over time - this one hasn’t lost a bit of intensity. Some look luxurious but feel cheap - this one is sleek, solid, and gorgeous. Some have a hundred unnecessary settings - this one just gives you pure, uninterrupted, adjustable power. And the battery? It just refuses to die. Even on high settings, it lasts longer than most people can. 😏 We use it constantly. It’s the first thing we reach for solo or together. It’s never in the way, always reliable, and somehow still as exciting as the first time we tried it. If we lost it tomorrow, we’d reorder it instantly. If you’ve been searching for the one bullet vibrator that actually lives up to the hype - this could be it. And if you don’t believe us yet, keep reading - we’ve got all the juicy details. 😉

    Zee by Dame: A Big Girl Vibrator

    With Zee by Dame, you’re getting exactly what you buy. This bullet is your average bullet vibrator. 3 settings, good vibration but not too powerful, and easy to use. The high point of this toy is that the head is pointed, giving it a literal edge on other vibrators. Overall, it’s your typical bullet vibrator, and it's hard to find something wrong with a classic. I have to take a moment to applaud the packaging and design of this toy. Vibrators designed by women are the best vibrators. Period. End of story. Dame’s Zee, the pocket vibe for play, functionally is just your run-of-the-mill bullet vibrator, and will definitely get the job done. The thing that lets me know it’s made by women, though, is in the packaging. On the front, they have a power meter, letting you know where on the scale the toy’s intensity lies. Then on the back is a list of qualities, including intensity, vibration, and quietness, indicating where on each quality’s scale the toy lies. When I say you’re getting exactly what you’re buying, its because Dame tells you exactly the kind of toy it is. It’s ⅖ on the power scale, with soft, buzzy, and near-silent vibrations. This level of transparency only comes from a toy designed by women.
