A bullet vibe is an easy-to-use and travel-friendly sex toy. Many come with multiple speeds and vibration patterns to offer lots of variety.
While most people will use their bullet for clitoral stimulation, try tracing the tip all over your vulva to discover new sweet spots. And don’t forget a quality lubricant – it makes everything feel better!
Charge it up
A bullet vibrator is a mini sex toy that can be used for clitoral stimulation and other types of pleasure. It’s usually small enough to hide in your hand or tuck in your purse or pocket for discreet masturbation at home or on the go. They’re often made of body-safe, waterproof material like medical grade silicone.
Some come with batteries, while others are rechargeable via USB and are ready for action whenever you need them. If you’re using a battery-powered toy, be sure to read the toy’s instructions for proper care and use. Always test your sex toy out first to see how loud it is and what intensity of vibrations you can expect. If you’re going to be playing with a partner, look for a dual vibe toy so you can have twice as much fun!
While many people stick with a favourite use of their bullet sex toy, it’s a good idea to try out other areas of the body that could enjoy the sensation. From stroking the back of the knees to caressing the nipples, you might find new, pleasurable ways to enjoy this mini-masturbator! Some bullet vibrators are also water-resistant so they can be enjoyed in the shower, bath tub, or even in the pool. Just be careful not to submerge a clitoral masturbator that isn’t designed for that purpose – it can damage the toy or cause a dangerous electrical shock.
Clean it up
Even if you’ve just had a gorgeous orgasm, take a moment to clean your vibe so it doesn’t breed bacteria or transfer germs to you during subsequent use. If you skip this step, the sex toy can become a breeding ground for vulva infections like yeast or bacterial vaginosis.
It’s best to wash your vibe with water that’s body-safe, explains sex educator and sex toy maker Searah Deysach, who recommends using a sex toy cleaner, a spray or one of those handy wipes. Avoid cleaning agents that contain dyes or fragrances that could be irritating to your vulva.
The type of toy you have also impacts how easy it is to clean. “Nonporous toys such as pure silicone, glass, stainless steel or acrylonitrile butadiene styrene plastic are easier to clean because bacteria and residue won’t penetrate them,” explains sex therapist Shadeen Francis, LMFT. Porous toys, like those made from elastomer (including TPR/TPE), Cyberskin, jelly, rubber or PVC, are hard to disinfect thoroughly and can potentially pass bacteria or even STIs between partners.
If you’re sharing your bullet vibrator with a partner, it’s especially important to keep it clean. You may even want to consider boiling your sex toy for an extra-thorough clean. Before you do, though, it’s a good idea to remove the batteries, as they can degrade over time and leak battery acid that’ll damage the toy and maybe even your skin.
Store it up
If you’re looking to add a little variety to your bedroom vibes, consider adding a bullet vibrator to your collection. These petite, powerful toys are easy to use and offer new ways to play.
They’re a great choice for clitoral stimulation, and can also be used to caress the nipples, trace along the vulva, and more. If you want to take your play to the next level, try a sex toy with a remote control. You can choose from a range of intensities and vibrations, and many remote controls even have built-in sex toys to explore.
Most bullet vibrators are made from body-safe silicone, which feels silky smooth and is long-lasting and easy to clean. They’re also often waterproof, so you can bring them to the bath or shower and use them with water-based lubricant for extra sensations.
Some vibes have a flat end that can be placed in the clitoral hood to stimulate both partners simultaneously, while others feature a curved surface that can be used to tickle the G-spot. Many also come with sleeves and C-rings to make them a little more discreet.
Most of these small toys have a pinhole in the base to insert the charging wire, which plugs into a USB port on the base. Some models have a travel lock that activates when pressed and held for 3 seconds, as well as power and function buttons.
Enjoy it!
A bullet vibrator is a potent pleasure tool that’s meant to deliver external stimulation for clitoral, labia, and perineum stimulation. They’re compact, discreet, and easy to use. And they’re the perfect sex toy for beginners or people who are looking for a little extra stimulation.
If you’re a newbie, choose a toy that comes with a couple of preset vibration settings so that you can explore how the toy feels. Also, look for a toy that’s made with body-safe materials such as medical-grade silicone (be aware that some toys marketed as silicon may actually be a blend of silicone and other materials) or hard, nonporous metals like chrome or steel.
Often, we think of lube as being necessary for toys that require penetration. But a good quality lubricant can really enhance the sensation of a bullet vibe. Try experimenting with different types of lube to discover what you like best.
Many bullet vibrators are waterproof, making them great for masturbation in the shower or bath. But be sure to check the toy’s instructions before using it in the water or near your anus, as some may not be safe for anal use or may need to be cleaned before and after use. If you have a remote-controlled bullet vibrator, play with it in the tub or car for some extra fun on your own or with a partner.
