You will always find something new and exciting to get into with adult sex toys – or get off with! Then again, there are some undisputed classics. You can always find these types of toys at almost any sex shop or online adult retailer. Today, we are going to take a look at one of these sex toy staples: the bullet vibrator.
Its small size, sleek design, discreetness, and often surprising power usually make bullet vibes appealing to newcomers. This is because bullet vibrators are small, simple to use, and easy to use. However, bullet vibrators aren’t just for beginners. These mini powerhouses are among the most versatile sex toys in the industry.
Let’s talk about bullet vibrators, what they are, how to choose one, and how to use it.
BULLET VIBRATOR: WHAT IS IT ?
I will start by explaining what a bullet vibrator is. It is a small vibrator that is often (but not always) shaped like a bullet. Vibrators are designed in a variety of ways these days, and bullets look more like large pills or even like miniature versions of larger vibrators with ridges, swirls, ripples, and so on.
Bullet vibrators are incredibly versatile and can be used for a variety of purposes. For those looking for clitoral stimulation, or the addition of extra sensations to their nipples, perineum or any other area, a bullet is perfect. Moreover, they can make all kinds of non-vibrating toys, such as harnesses, dildos and butt plugs vibrate. While it’s great for solo sessions of guided masturbation, bullets also work well in partner play too!
BULLET VIBRATOR SELECTION TIPS
In choosing a bullet vibrator, you need to consider some factors, although most are fairly straightforward. In response to the increased use of sex toys over the past twenty years, bullet vibe sizes, shapes, designs, materials, power sources, and features have grown in number. To help you choose the bullet that best fits your needs, let’s discuss all these different factors.
Size, shape, and design of the bullet vibe
It might seem like all bullets are the same, but this simply isn’t true. Take, for example, the PinkCherry Bullet Vibe–with its tapered tip, it’s perfect for pinpoint stimulation. The Merge Bullet Vibe is rounder, allowing for more broad external stimulation. If you’re looking for something small to travel with, check out the tiny PinkCherry Hide Me Vibe Bullet Vibe. If you enjoy texture and patterns, try the Sugr 15 Function Mini Bullet–it comes with swirled ridges. There are lots of ways to design a bullet vibe, each one offering its own unique experience!
What if you don’t know which designs work best for you yet? That’s no problem! Just experiment. Pick the bullet that appeals to you visually, and, if it doesn’t work great for you, at least you will have narrowed your focus and gotten closer to what you do like. With bullet vibes, you can try a few different ones without breaking the bank, because they are some of the most economical sex toys available.
The material
Your bullet should be made of what? You’ll find plenty of options when it comes to bullet vibes, even long distance vibrators, ranging from rubber to silicone and stainless steel. ABS plastic and silicone are the most common materials for bullet vibes. You really just have to choose what you prefer because both options are nonporous (no pores to harbor bacteria or other funk) and super easy to clean.
Source of power
Bullet vibes come in two types – rechargeable and battery-operated. Is one better than the other? Well, it depends. Rechargeables mean no more buying batteries, but you do need to make sure it’s charged before use. Battery-operated bullets are tried and tested; just remember to have spare batteries on hand! They can add up in cost over time. However, generally speaking rechargeables offer more water-resistance – so if you’re looking to get wet with your bullet, that could be a useful feature.
What features are important to you?
Earlier, we discussed waterproof bullet vibes. They are great for playing in the bathtub or shower (as long as the toy is submersible) and are easy to clean.
Some Bullet Vibe comewith a remote control, while others, such as the Bang! Vibrating Bullet, have a wireless remote control. You won’t have to keep reaching down to change vibration settings with a remote control.
The Four Play Bullet Vibe Set, for example, comes with multiple attachments that turn your bullet vibe into a rabbit, a g-spotter, the best anal vibrator, and more.
There are all kinds of cool features a bullet can have. Think about which ones matter to you so you can choose the toy that best suits you.
BULLET VIBRATOR TIPS: How to get the most out of it
Now that you’ve selected the bullet vibe that’s right for you, let’s get started!
Take a seat
You need to be comfortable whenever you use a toy. Find the position that works for you. Whether you want to lie down, sit, stand, or do whatever, you need to feel relaxed.
Investigate
The time has come to turn on your bullet vibe and see what it can do. Play around with different ways of holding it, pressing different parts against your body, and even which parts of your body you stimulate.
You can spread vibration over a larger area by simply turning your bullet vibrator sideways if it has a tapered or rounded tip (great for pinpoint stimulation! ).
Disconnect it
It may sound silly, but I’ve seen plenty of panicked people in sex shops who couldn’t turn off their vibrating toys. A lot of bullets and other types of vibrators are made to stay on by accident, which can be a real drag. If hitting the power button doesn’t cut it, then simply hold it down for 3 seconds – that usually does the trick.
Cleaning bullet vibrators
Make sure your toys are cleaned before you put them away after use. You can find out how to clean your toys by following the manufacturer’s instructions. In most cases, toys can be cleaned with water and mild soap, but be careful not to let water get into them if it is not waterproof. I recommend using washcloths or pre-moistened wipes for toys that aren’t waterproof (ones that will come into contact with the body – don’t use household wipes on items that will touch your genitals, please!)
Be sure to allow your toy to dry completely before storing it.
Storage of bullet vibrators
It’s important to keep in mind that toys can become dirty even if they’re not being used. It might seem logical to throw a toy into your nightstand drawer, but it can pick up all kinds of dust and fuzz in there, so make sure to put it in a storage case or pouch, or even just a clean cloth.
