If sex toys were famous actors, you’d have your exciting up-and-comers like vibrating clit sucker toys. You’d have your more niche options — your Adam Drivers or Adrian Brodys, who you always love on screen but wouldn’t have pinned as your favorite otherwise.
And you have your classics. Your good old-fashioned movie stars who reliably deliver time after time. And in that world, the bullet vibrator plays that role every time.
But the thing about the classics is that sometimes you have to spice it up a little bit. We all love seeing Julia Roberts in a rom-com, but sometimes you want to see her kicking ass in an action movie, you know?
So let’s talk about the bullet vibrator — what it is, how to pick the best one, and how to get the most out of it. Basically, bullet vibrators 101!
What is a Bullet Vibrator
Bullet vibrators are the ideal entry-level sex toy, but they’re equally great for users of any experience level. They’re simple and discrete, with sleek, straightforward designs that make it easy to take them with you when you travel. They can appeal to the minimalist in all of us!
They’re often low-cost, and since the form and function are simple, you don’t need to do much work to research the best one for you. That’s not to say there aren’t certain things to consider (more in the next section!), but if you’re just looking for a go-to that gets the job done, you can’t go wrong.
And the fact that bullet vibrators can be simple, efficient ways to get yourself off shouldn’t be overlooked. While you may not feel up to a full-on tantric sesh every day, making time to get yourself off, even when it’s not number one on your mind, can positively impact your mood and physical wellness.
It even gives you the healthy glow that skincare companies are constantly trying to bottle.
What Should I Look for in a Bullet Vibrator?
In general, adding a vibrator to your personal or partnered sex life has been shown to have a positive impact on sexual desire and sexual function overall. So that’s number one: you should be looking for a bullet vibrator in general, whether the majority of your sex life takes place in private or with another person.
The main things we like to look for in a bullet vibrator are, first of all, the ability to change the speed or pattern of the vibrations to customize and vary your experience depending on your mood and needs.
It’s also worth considering whether you’ll want to use your bullet vibrator in the bath or shower (highly recommended), in which case you’ll want to be sure your vibrator is waterproof.
In general, vibrators can either be rechargeable or battery-powered. While there’s nothing wrong with battery-powered vibrators, we’d recommend something rechargeable, so you’re never left in the lurch and can always recharge when you need that silver bullet to get you over the finish line.
We love the Dame Zee Bullet Vibrator for all these reasons, although really, there isn’t a wrong choice. That’s the beauty of bullet vibrators — even in their most basic form, they’re going to show you a good time.
Lastly, the size of your bullet vibrator should be a consideration. It’s mostly down to personal preference. A tiny, dainty bullet vibrator that can go wherever you go may be ideal for some, but if you have big hands or want a stronger vibration, something more substantial may be in order.
What are Some Bullet Vibrator Tips?
While part of the appeal of bullet vibrators is that they’re simple to use, it’s good to know different ways to get the most out of your device. You won’t always want to do the same thing, or it can get old and make it harder to get off.
Plus, experimenting is fun! So let’s talk about some bullet vibrator 101 to help you use your new toy.
1. Play With Speed and Pattern
If you’ve selected a bullet vibrator that offers a variety of speeds and patterns, you have the easiest way to vary your experience built in. By controlling the pace or pattern of your bullet vibrator, you can create an experience that meets your needs exactly every time.
Looking for a quick way to work out some tension or frustration? A higher speed at a consistent pattern is the answer. Trying to tease yourself or a partner?
Keep the speed low and choose an unpredictable pattern that will titillate you with the unexpected.
2. Don’t Limit Yourself to Just the Tip
The obvious way to use your bullet vibrator is to press the tip of it to your clit — but that isn’t the only way! Since most bullet vibrators vibrate all over, there’s no reason you can’t use the entire device to bring yourself pleasure.
The sensation of the side of your bullet vibrator against your most sensitive areas can be a delightful change, and since the surface area outside of the tip of your vibrator is much wider, there’s much more pleasure to be had.
3. Use on All of Your Erogenous Zones
You also don’t have to limit yourself to stimulating your clit! You can use your bullet vibrator on any erogenous or sensitive areas, like your nipples, vulva, or any area of the penis. You can also vary your masturbation positions to spice things up without a partner — variety isn’t only the spice of life when you’re with someone else!
4. Use With a Partner
Using your bullet vibrator for masturbation is the go-to, but it’s also the ideal toy to bring into the bedroom with a partner. It’s portable, so if you see a partner outside your home, it’s discreet to bring along.
It’s especially ideal if sex toys are new to your partner in general or simply to your partnered sex life because there’s nothing complex or intimidating about them.
While in general, a good sex life is often associated with a better overall quality of life, some studies have shown that affection plays a big role in that. So using your bullet vibrator for some me-time is great — but if you have a partner, bringing it into the bedroom can help promote trust and intimacy, leading to greater satisfaction.
Also, orgasms. And that makes everybody happy.
The Takeaway
Bullet vibrators are super user-friendly vibrators that are perfectly designed for users of any experience level. Whether you’re new to vibrators or sex toys or just looking to add to your already prolific collection, there’s a bullet vibrator out there that will give you the good vibes you’re looking for.
