Bullet Vibes
Why Bullet Vibes Are a Girl's Best Friend
We love bullet-style vibes. They're versatile, travel-friendly, and perfect for both solo or partner play. They're pretty much the most common sex toy on the market, so you've got no shortage of options. To help make it easier to choose which one is right for you, here are a few things to consider:
Shape. If you enjoy focused stimulation you'll probably like a bullet vibe that features a small, pointed tip. However, many women find direct clitoral stimulation too intense, in which case you might prefer a toy with a wider head like the Onye.
Rechargeable vs battery operated. Because of their size, bullet vibes are usually powered by watch batteries which can be hard to find and pretty pricey. They also tend to die quickly (and always at an inopportune moment). We recommend finding one that takes standard AA or AAA batteries, or better yet, choose a rechargeable option like the Touch by We Vibe.
Price. Part of why we love bullet-style vibes is that they make a great starter toy. You can pick one up for under $20 (any sex shop will carry a version of the one-touch bullet) so it's easy to experiment without breaking the bank. That said, there are certainly no shortage of luxury vibes out there for those who want to invest. Our personal favourite is the Lelo Nea. It's rechargeable, fits perfectly in the palm of your hand, and contours nicely to the body (plus, it's super pretty!)
Corded vs. wireless. Lots of bullet-style vibes have a separate battery pack that connects to the vibrator. This can be fun and convenient if you're using it with a partner, and it also means it'll be powered by regular batteries rather than cell batteries. However, we've seen lots of wires fray and disconnect, so keep in mind that wireless options generally have a shorter lifespan.
Waterproof. We don't recommend using toys internally underwater (it's counter-intuitive but water actually means you're less lubricated, making it harder to insert a toy or penis) but the bath is a great place to use a toy externally. The majority of bullet vibes are waterproof, so if that's what you want, you shouldn't have a hard time finding one that fits the bill.
