After my simple $15 bullet died after lots of use, I was really excited to make this vibrator my go-to everyday bullet. However, as much as I wanted to like it, I was disappointed by its lack of power. While the vibrations feel SUPER strong and rumbly for such a small vibe while testing it out with your hands at a store (which was what sold me on the product), they dampen SIGNIFICANTLY with pressure during actual use. The tip of the vibrator actually gets quite a bit of movement, like it’s a high amplitude vibration, but that means that if you put pressure on the tip, all of that movement stops and the underlying vibration is actually pretty weak. I had to turn it all the way up to the highest level to get enough stimulation to feel like it was doing anything, and I kept wishing I could just go a little higher. If you’re someone who prefers lighter pressure on the clit, the vibrations may still work for you since they’re actually stronger without pressure; but I prefer more pressure over a lighter touch, which feels too buzzy for me. However, there are a few “pros” worth mentioning: - Compact size is easy to slip in a drawer or bag - I prefer the hard plastic over silicone vibrators, as I find that the silicone tends to “dampen” the vibration too much. The plastic material allows more direct transfer of vibrations and is one of the only higher end vibrators I’ve seen with the harder material! - There are some interesting vibration patterns, if that’s something you like. I’m not usually a fan of them, but I liked these better than some other vibrator patterns. - Separate buttons to increase or decrease vibration, so you don’t have to cycle all the way through the levels to get the one you want. (Though because of the size, it’s actually a little hard to feel which button you’re pressing while in use) - I love the little storage case that comes with it! For the cost of this vibrator, I would expect more power out of it, so I ended up returning it (thankfully LoveHoney has a great return policy!). Went back to my tried and true $15 old school bullet vibrator attached by a wire to a battery pack, which packs more punch than this “higher end” vibe. The one other thing I will note is that the one time I tried this internally, I actually really liked the vibration sensation. It’s not girthy by any means, but it might actually work pretty well for someone just wanting a bit of internal vibration without a full size internal toy. If I hadn’t already just bought a new internal vibe, I may have ended up keeping it to use for that purpose!
