The Bullet Vibrator Explained

Often described as the holy grail of mini vibrators, these vibes are classified as bullets due to their size and shape. They are a great sex toy for first-time users thanks to their beginner-friendly size and are usually affordably priced. 

What is a bullet vibrator?

A bullet vibrator is a small electronic massager device that contains a built-in motor to allow the toy to vibrate. These vibrations are used to provide stimulation in intimate areas; most commonly around a woman's clitoral region.

These sex toys come in a variety of sizes but tend to range between 7cm-17cm in length. The longer ones can be enjoyed as an insertable vibrator for women who want to experience sexual penetration.

Bullet vibrators are smaller than other types of vibrator making them a great portable option; ideal for mini breaks (don't take up too much space in luggage) and are very discreet.

The shape can be credited to their namesake. Bullet vibes usually have a narrow body with a rounded tip to provide a targeted stimulation point for contact with the intimate spot.

How to use a bullet vibrator

When turned on, the bullet will vibrate and can be gently pressed against the clitoris and the surrounding vaginal area to provide heightened sensations in the intimate region.

Some bullets will come with one vibration setting as standard whilst others will come packed with additional intensities and patterns. 

For example, the nu Sensuelle Bobbii has a massive 69 different settings to choose between! 

A bullet vibrator is also a great toy to use for couples. The partner can use the sex toy to stimulate their lady during foreplay or even simultaneously during penetrative sex to provide clitoral stimulation.

How much is a bullet vibrator?

The cost of a bullet vibrator greatly depends on many factors: quality, features and battery.

1. Quality

Different materials will be used in the production of vibrators but the most commonly used are ABS (plastic) and silicone. 

There is nothing wrong with either - both are perfectly safe. ABS is a much cheaper material which means you can enjoy a greater saving in price. The models that look like lipsticks or in shiny silver & gold colours are usually made with ABS.

Silicone is more expensive and is regarded as better quality because it feels softer and more luxurious against the body during use.

2. Features

When it comes to bullet toys we're essentially talking about vibration settings. Each will contain a motor that is loaded with predetermined patterns that the user can cycle between and choose which vibration they like the most.

The more patterns and vibration frequencies on offer; the more advanced the motor is. To keep costs down some bullets will just offer one basic vibrating setting.

3. Battery

Ultimately it can come down to rechargeable vibrator vs (disposable) battery powered vibrator to explain the difference in price.

A rechargeable battery is an expensive component for a sex toy. This can ultimately decide whether a bullet retails for £15 or £25. 

Whilst cheap and cheerful suits many buyers there are many tangible advantages for buying rechargeable sex toys - one being you'll never need to spend money on dreaded AA batteries!
