Studio Collection Sexy Secret Bullet

The second product that the fellas over at Body Jungle sent me to try was the Studio Collection Sexy Secret Bullet. This toy came in the same box as the A:Muse massager by Lifestyles, which was a plain, brown package with a nondescript label. There's no markings to let anyone know what you've ordered, which is always a great plus for a company.

When you pull this toy out of the box, it comes in a black package with the name of the product and the brand on it. This isn't the most discreet, but it doesn't have any lewd sayings or naked women on it, either. This packaging isn't really resealable, so it's not ideal for storage.

The front has a clear area where you can see the compact, though it's just black so it's fairly discreet. It states that it's a "Sexy Secrets Compact," the name of the line, and the name of the brand. If someone only sees the front of the box it's hard to tell what it is.

The back of the box features and image of the compact and the vibrator, and a lot of text telling you about it. It talks about the functions, how long you get on a set of batteries, the fact that it's waterproof, and tells the buyer that it comes with extra batteries.

Here's a picture of the front and the back:

The compact, that seems to match the theme of this entire line, is entirely made of shiny, black plastic. There is a red emblem on the front that stated the brand and the name of the line, along with a red and white decal. If someone looks closely at what this says they're going to get suspicious, but if this is just out on the counter it's going to blend in well.

It's about 3 inches long and 2 inches wide, and it's about an inch thick at the deepest area. It's a nice size to slip into a purse or drawer, though it's a bit larger than most compacts I carry around with me. If someone REALLY gets curious and opens it to only find a mirror they might be skeptical of why it's so thick.

Here's a picture of the compact VS a pen:


When you open the case up, there is a small mirror in the top part that is pretty functional as a normal compact. It's okay to check your make up in, though it doesn't magnify your reflection like some compacts offer. My main complain is that it just is a bit... Off. Off in the way that if you look at your full reflection for more than a few minutes it feels like you're going cross eyed.

You lift up the mirror part in order to access the bullet and extra batteries. The vibrator and batteries are held in a black, plastic insert. If you tip it upside down they don't stay in the insert, so you really should keep/open this right side up.

My main issue with this case is that it doesn't stay closed. It's loose and pops open even without me touching it, which leaves the bullet and batteries rolling around my purse. This really defeats the purpose for me. The solution I've found is to keep a hairtie around it. Here's a picture of the mirror and the insert with the bullet in it:


Now the thing is, I didn't really have high hopes for the compact. I already have several quality make up compacts, and I have a tin with a cute bullet in it that is already a great travel toy. I was really only interested in the vibrator itself because it seemed high quality and it offered at least one pattern.

The Sexy Secret Bullet is about two inches long and about one and a half inches around. This is a pretty standard size for a toy like this. If you hold it for a prolonged period of time it may cause your fingers to get tired because of the small size, but it's also a lot more convenient and easy to store because of that. Here's a picture of the bullet VS a pen (sorry it's a bit blurry!):

Power wise, this thing is better than a few larger toys I have (See the A:Muse massager I reviewed last) and I think that it should be enough for most women. On high I would say it's about a 3.5/5 in power and a 1.5/5 in noise level.

You control the this toy by pressing the small red button on the base. When you press it once it turns on, as you continue pressing it it cycles through the settings, and then once you cycle through the settings it turns off.  The settings are as follows

1) Low
2) Medium
3) High
4)  bz bz BZZ bzbzbzbz BZZ bbbbbbbbbBBBBBBZZZ bbbbbbBBBBBZZZ ... bbbbbbbBBBBBBbbbbZZZZ  bbbbz bbbbz bbbzzz BBZZZZ BZZZZZ BBZZZ bbzzz bbbzzz BBZZZZ BZZZZ BZBZBZBZBbzbzbzbzbzbzbBZBZBZBZBZBZB BZZZZZ BZZZZ BZBZBZBZBZBZ

The fourth pattern is REALLY odd, and it repeats itself at least after five minutes. It's really nice to see a 'random' pattern that really is that random, and it's something that I tip my hat to Screaming O for doing. If you're interested in something like that, this is a cheap way to try it.

The Screaming O bullet is also entirely waterproof, which is awesome news for those of us who like to play in the shower. You can see the red o-ring in the image below that seals when you screw the base on to keep all water out of the battery compartment:
Another awesome feature I want to point out is that if you remove the cap and revolve it 90 degrees, then press the base down it becomes 'travel locked. You can easily take the cap off again and set it right, but the toy won't turn on at all when it's set like this.

Overall? This is a super quality vibrator with really crap packaging and storage. Unless you want to keep a rubber band around the compact, I wouldn't put money on it staying closed while in your purse, or even in a drawer.

I would HIGHLY recommend this product for the bullet, because it's strong, quiet, waterproof, a good material, and it has such a neat pattern. If you think that you would like it, too, you can find it right here. If you're not too into this one that I got to review, Body Jungle has the most stock of any store I've seen, so they're almost guaranteed to have SOMETHING that will pique your interest!

Toyfriend Mini Rebel Black Review

Because Babeland is awesome, they let me request to review the Toyfriend Mini Rebel Black. I liked the Toyfriend Bubbly so much (you can read my review here) that I thought that the smaller line was at least worth a try. It's a solid toy, but it didn't rock my world.

Like all packages that I've gotten from Babeland, this toy came in a discreet, brown box. The label said nothing about being a sex toy, and it wasn't rattling around or anything. I would highly recommend Babeland as far as discreetness goes, because no one wants their post man knowing when they are getting new vibrators mail-order.

Upon opening the box, I found that this Toyfriend had the same cute packaging that the other two Toyfriends I own came in. The front of the box is almost entirely comprised of a window where you can see your new toy. On the back is some basic information and care instructions, and on the side of the box is the lettering "I vibrate!"

This isn't the most discreet box, but it would still be a fine toy to wrap and give as a gift. It has no naked women or lewd sayings on it, so unless they're shy about the toy itself it's not going to give a bad impression. I really wouldn't recommend storing this toy in the box because it's a LOT bigger than my Mini Toyfriend.

Here's a picture of the front:
And the back:
The toy itself is fairly small, and has a rounded head. I was drawn to this shape over the other Mini Toyfriends because I'm less of a fan of the 'tickler' or 'rabbit ear' style and more a fan of broader clitoral stimulation. Between the three, I feel like one of the shapes will be to your liking.

The Mini Rebel itself is about 5 inches long, but how much of that is insertable is up to debate. Technically you could insert about 4.5 inches and still have enough of the handle to hold on to, so it's fairly short compared to a lot of toys out there.

Girth wise, this vibrator is also 'mini.' It's no wider than an inch around, even at the rounded tip. This is great for people who want to use it for light insertion, and it's also a nice size for external play. If you're a size queen this little guy isn't going to be for you, but if you're looking for something that won't intimidate the user this is certainly a good bet.

As far as using toys anally, I wouldn't recommend this toy. It doesn't have a flared base or a real handle so I can see it turning into a trip to the ER unless you're a very experienced user. The good news is that Babeland still offers a lot of cute toys that ARE anal safe.

The head of this vibrator comes out at a bit of an angle that is a nice shape for insertion, and it's not likely to get caught on your pubic bone like some more drastically curved toys. While it didn't do it for me personally, I think that it just depends on how you're built.

Here's the Rebel VS a pen:
a
And here's a picture of the head, and of the flexibility:

Being made of silicone this sex toy is nonporous and body safe. Silicone is a great material because it's not going to degrade on you or cause infection. You can also disinfect this toy by wiping it down with a 10% bleach solution. This should be done every time you switch users in order to prevent the spread of bacteria and infection.

As you can see above, the Mini Rebel really doesn't have a whole lot of give to it. For this reason it may not be the best introduction into insertable toys, but it is nice for external use because you can put a fair amount of pressure behind it.

Now on to the functions. This toy only has one setting, unlike it's larger Toyfriend buddies. The one setting is activated by pressing the button on the bottom, and it is deactivated by pressing the button again. The button isn't in a place where it's easy to press during use, which is always good.

The setting is about 2/5 in power and 1/5 in volume. This is a perfect vibrator if you're needing something that can't even be heard across the room, and it's impossible for anyone to know you're playing with it if your door's shut. On the other hand, the vibrations are VERY weak. They are fairly rumbly, but I personally find myself wanting more and I'm a total wimp when it comes to power.

One nice thing is that this Mini Toyfriend is entirely waterproof. It takes one N sized battery (which is thankfully included) and I haven't found any water in the battery compartment after using it in the shower and submerging it to clean it.

Here is an image of the battery compartment open:


Overall, the Mini Rebel is best for those looking for something small, simple, and fairly weak. It's not going to scare your partner off if you're looking to introduce toys into a relationship, but at the same time I would recommend a toy with several power levels in case you end up wanting them.

If you're really liking how the Mini Toyfriend sounds you can hop on over to Babeland and pick one up for yourself by clicking on this link. If you're thinking that it's going to leave you wanting more, especially for toys in that price range, Babeland offers a whole lot of toys with different shapes, volumes, and intensities.

Couture Collection Sublime Review

As well as the recent Bgee I reviewed, Our Naughty Secrets decided that they wanted to send me something else new to review. I had this sex toy on my wishlist because I had heard a lot of good things about this line, and frankly it just looked awesome. The Couture Collection Sublime is certainly one heck of a vibe!

Like all of the Our Naughty Secrets shipments I've gotten, this toy came in a brown, discreet box. It was packaged with brown paper to keep it from tumbling around, as well. Something that's always important to me (because I get my packages delivered at home) is that the label of this box reads "ONS," which could stand for anything. No one's going to be able to tell what you've ordered.

When I pulled this out of the box I was like "I didn't ask for anything like this!" The packaging it comes in is HUGE! The good news is that the toy itself is 'normal' sized, just the box is abnormal. Because of the size I would not recommend the packaging for storage because it's just too darned large! It's at least 7 times larger than the toy itself, so it's not convenient at all.

The packaging aesthetic wise is very nice. On the front cover is the toy that you received against a white/blue 'aquatic' background. It also states the name of the line in cursive letters. The back has some basic information about the line and the toy, such as the brand and some specs like the battery type, but it's not super informative.

You can open up the front flap of the box to see the toy and to read even more information about it. This is where you can learn about the material, the functions, and re-read a bit about the line of toys. This would be great to display in a store. While it's huge, it's not a bad box to wrap and give as a gift. It has no naked women or lewd saying on it, but it's also not the most discreet. Here's a picture of the front and the flap of the box:
The vibrator itself is made entirely out of silicone. Silicone is nonporous and body safe, meaning that microbes can't get inside of it and thrive, and that it doesn't contain any harmful chemicals. You can wipe it down with a 10% bleach solution to disinfect it, and this should be done every time you plan on switching users or orifices to prevent the spread of infection.

This vibrator is quite a bit larger than what I'm used to, but it's also very versatile. The insertable part of this toy is about 7 inches long, but it is also over 5 inches around at the girthiest area. This makes for a toy that's perfect for those that want a lot of girth, especially at their entrance, but it might scare off sex toy newbies.

The Sublime is intended to be inserted, and has a slight g-spot curve to it. If you're one of those girls who needs a very sharp, firm g-spot toy this isn't going to hit the mark, but I personally can hit my g-spot quite well with it. It also has 'waves' in the shaft that make insertion feel very different from any toy I've had the pleasure of using before. 

The thing about this toy is that it's actually also very effective for external stimulation. The curved rounded tip on this toy is a great shape to use on the clitoris, and the ridges are very stimulating when you run them between your vulva. What makes this even better is that the vibrations transfer incredibly well to the tip for fairly pinpoint vibrations.

Anally, this is okay for use but not great. You can easily insert the first few 'ridges' safely, but after that it would be best for more practiced anal players not only because it doesn't have a flared base but also because of the large size. While I wouldn't highly recommend it for anal play, you could do it if you have had a lot of practice. If you're looking at these pictures and thinking "No way!" Our Naughty Secrets also has a collection of more anal friendly toys.

Here is a picture of the two sides of the toy:

Here's a picture of the 'waves' (pardon the bad contrast):
And here's a picture showing the flexibility:
So enough about how it looks and the size, how does this toy do as a vibrator?

My answer? Very, very well. I personally am a huge fan of deep, rumbly vibrations in my toys. The Sublime is one of the rumbliest I own, and I have several Fun Factory and Jopen vibrators. I think it's a combination of the thick silicone and the deep motor, but the vibrations really penetrate the surface of wherever you're using this toy.

This toy is controlled by two buttons: a power button and a settings button. When you press the power button the light turns on to let you know that your toy is on, and then you have to press the settings button in order to get it to start vibrating. You press the button to cycle through all the settings, and then you can press the power button to turn it off at any time. The settings are as follows:

1) Low
2) Medium
3) High
4) bbbbBBBBZZZZZZ bbbbbBBBBBZZZZZ
5) BZZZZ BZZZZ BZZZZ
6) BZZ BZZ BZZ BZZ BZZ
7) BZ BZ BZ BZZZZ

And here is a picture of the two buttons:

On high this toy is about 3.5/5 in power and 2.5/5 in volume. It can almost be heard over the public showers, but it can't be heard through the door or through a thin wall. If you live with others this is still quiet enough to be discreet.

I really like that you can work up from a low setting to a high setting, and deep, rumbly patterns are something that make me super happy in a toy. If you need a ton of power in your toys this might not be the one for you, but this vibrator has enough oomph to get the 'average' woman off for sure.

Another thing that I love about this toy is that it's 100% waterproof... If you let it air dry before you open the battery compartment up. There is a thick rubber o-ring around where the battery connector is that seals water out from the electrical bits, but the large area of the battery compartment isn't waterproof, so if there is water trapped in the large compartment formed by the battery cap it could get into the wiring of the toy if you open it while it is still wet.

Here's a picture of the battery compartment:
Overall, the Sublime is a great vibrator. When I first took it out of the box I was surprised at how large and hefty it is, and not being able to take much girth I was afraid that I'd find this super uncomfortable to insert. Gosh I was wrong! In my large collection of sex toys this is now in my top 10.

The reason that I like this so much is that I have a fairly shallow g-spot, so I only have to insert it up until the third 'bump' which is a bit under 4 inches around. If I only insert it that much I can still use it to thrust against my g-spot, but I'm not left feeling stretched. If you have a deeper g-spot and don't like girth you might have more problems that I do, but as it is this is a great toy for me.

If you're thinking that this sounds like a delicious toy for you, you can find it here at Our Naughty Secrets. If you're a but underwhelmed with this toy, on the other hand, I still recommend checking out their site because they have a wide variety of other sex toys and their prices are unbelievable!

Bgee by Bswish Review

The awesome people at Our Naughty Secrets recently sent me this super neat toy to review. If you've been following my reviews for a while on my other site, you know that I really like my Bgood Deluxe but was less impressed by my Bgee Deluxe. I was hoping that the original Bgee would suit my body better, and I was right.

The Bgee by Bswish comes in packaging that seems standard for the brand. Their toys all come in sleek, black boxes. On the front of the box is an image of a woman, but it's not very lewd or suggestive. This would be a fine toy to wrap up and give as a gift.

Inside the packaging is an insert with some more instructions for the toy. The box doesn't give much information, so these come in handy if you're not used to using sex toys. They  mainly focus on how to insert the batteries, but they do state it in at least 10 different languages.

Also inside the box is a sexy black insert. This holds your toy and the storage bag it comes with, and keeps them from rattling around in the box. You can certainly store your Bgee in here, but it's a better idea to keep it in the storage pouch, especially if you plan to use it regularly.

Here's an image of the front of the box:

 And the back:
 
 And the insert:
The vibrator itself is about 7 inches long in total. While it's pretty lengthy, the small girth, under 3 inches around at the widest point, still makes it small enough not to be intimidating. If you're not used to penetration or you're like me and not the fondest of girth, this is a great toy to use. Below is a picture of the Bgee compared to a pen:
The Bgee is a vibrator that's intended to be used for g-spot stimulation. The reason that the head is bent at an angle is that it's supposed to bend around your pubic bone and put light pressure where you need it. It's got a fairly small head for fairly pinpoint g-spot thrusting, and the long neck makes it possible to hit your g-spot no matter how elusive it is.

You also can use the Bgee for clitoral stimulation. It's especially good if you're looking for a toy to use between you and your partner during intercourse. Due to the long neck it's easy to position and maneuver, and you don't have to get your hands in the way like you would with a smaller toy.

The Bgee is also fairly anal safe. While you should be careful no matter what, the long neck makes this very easy to hold on to. While using this toy anally you should never let go and just leave it in there because it has no flared base.

Here is a closeup of the angle of the head:
As far as functions go, this vibrator is fairly powerful. If you need a powerhouse Our Naughty Secrets sells some stronger toys, but this one only gets a 3/5 as far as power goes. Because the vibrations are more focused at the tip it is good for pinpoint stimulation, and I still feel like it's going to be enough power for the 'average' person.

You control the vibrations by a small wheel at the base. The wheel has some small grooves carved out of it so that you can turn it more easily. The grooves are good because they make it so you don't accidentally unscrew the base trying to change the settings. The lowest setting is a bit under 1/5 on the power scale, and the highest is 3/5, so you can work up to a stronger setting if you need to.

Noise wise, this isn't the quietest vibrator I own. It's about a 3/5 on the volume, so you can hear it through thin walls and if you're listening at my door, but if you turn the TV on it's easily covered up. It's also not going to wake the neighbors, and you can't hear it if you're on the other side of the house or anything.

Something I really appreciate about the Bgee is that it's waterproof. I personally do all of my playing in the dorm showers, so being able to use it without worrying about getting it wet is a load off my mind. It's also a huge plus when it comes time to clean the toy because you can just run the whole thing under the faucet.

The Bgee is made entirely of hard plastic. Plastic is nonporous and body safe, which means that bacteria can't get inside the material and thrive (thus spreading infection) and that the material doesn't contain  any gross chemicals that can leak into your body.

Plastic is also compatible with all lubes and other materials. The one real downside to a plastic sex toy is that it is very rigid, and if you're not careful you can end up bruising yourself on accident (or by your partner getting to enthusiastic).

I wash this toy with an antibacterial toy cleaner, but you also can use soap and water or a toy wipe. If you plan on either switching orifices or users you should wipe this down thoroughly with a 10% bleach solution in order to disinfect it. This will prevent the spread of bacteria (or STDs)  though the toy.

Something that I always like about Bswish toys is that they all come with their own storage pouch. This helps to keep the toys clean and out of harms way, and it's ideal to use when traveling or tossing the toy into your purse. Here's a picture of the bag compared to the Bgee:

Overall, I really like my Bgee. It's so versatile, and the curve is just enough to get my g-spot but not enough to bruise me or catch on my pubic bone when thrusting. I feel like it's a super high quality toy, and being waterproof takes the cake. I am giving this toy a 4.5/5 rating just because it's a bit too loud for me to use on high in my living situation and I feel like it might distract a lot of users.

If you're about to run out the door and Google 'Bgee,' you can just click here to see the product page. If you're not thinking that this is the toy for you, you can still check out the Our Naughty Secrets website to see what they have that IS up your alley. Trust me, it's an awesome site and their prices are AWESOME!

Noise: 3/5

La Curve Vibrator Review

Because the guys over at Body Jungle are way too good for me, they actually sent me two toys to review this time instead of one. Not that I'm complaining! The second toy that I found in my box of goodies was the La Curve. It came in the same discreet box as the last toy that I got from them to review, and had nothing on the shipping label or package to indicate that it came from an adult store.

The La Curve vibrator caught my eye because of the interesting looking design and the great material. I thought that it looked like a toy that would work wonderfully with my body, and I was right! The La Curve vibrator consists of a silicone sleeve that you can remove from the bullet to clean, and the bullet itself. The bullet it easy to remove, and the part that sticks out of the toy has a small button on the base and is silver. Here is a picture of me showing off the bullet out of the toy.

The vibrator itself came in a fairly flimsy plastic box. It's got a transparent front where the toy is very visible and it has some basic instructions and information about the toy. While it isn't the most discreet packaging, it has no naked women or lewd sayings on it. I wouldn't hesitate to wrap this toy up and give it as a gift.
The sleeve is made of thick, flexible silicone. In total it's about 6 inches long, but only a bit over 3 inches of those are insertable. At the widest point it's about 3.5 inches around, making it great for those who don't like thick toys. The loop will easily fit one of everyones' finger, but if you have very small fingers you can fit two. 

While this would be pretty intense for anal play, as long as you keep a finger through the loop it would be safe to use it like that. It may be pretty thick, so I would recommend it for more advanced users.

 You can boil the sleeve of this toy if you plan to switch orifices or users to kill bacteria that may be on it, but you can also wipe the whole thing down with a 10% bleach solution to disinfect it. I use an antibacterial toy cleaner to wipe it down after use, but you also can use soap and water.

Something that I really like about this vibrator is that you can use it for light dual stimulation. It's not going to be as intense as a rabbit made for both internal and clitoral stimulation, but it's nice if you don't need intense stimulation on your clit and just want some mild vibrations.

What I really like about this design is that it is much wider at the tip than in the center. This allows for it to be a wonderful g-spotting toy, while it doesn't make me feel 'stretched' when I thrust with it. I also want to point out how flexible the silicone is. Here's an image of the toy itself, showing off the shape a bit, and also a picture showing off the flexibility.

The bullet itself is fairly powerful, but the silicone tends to muffle and dampen the vibrations a bit. There are 7 patterns to this toy and they are as follows:

1) Low
2) Medium
3) High
4) BZBZzbzvz bzbz bzbzbzzzz (hard to describe)
5) BZZ BZZ BZZ BZZ
6) bbbBBZZZ BZZ bbbBBBZZZ BZZZ
7) BZBZBZBZbzbz BZBZBZBZbzbz

On high this toy is about a 3/5 in power and a 3/5 in volume. This is about average for toys like this, and it can be heard over the shower but it couldn't be heard through the wall or through a door. I personally think that the patterns are really nice and this would be a good place to start if you're looking to try a toy with a little bit more variety and you don't need extreme power.

If you've decided by now that the La Curve looks like it's worth the low price tag, Body Jungle has a whole basketful of these little guys. If you decide to get one I hope that you like it as much as I like mine! My only qualm is that it's a bit loud and that the vibrations are a bit buzzy. I am now on the lookout for a quieter bullet to slip into this sleeve.

PicoBong Honi Review

For my first sponsored review by the sex positive community Babeland I was given the Honi by PicoBong. This cute little toy is an oval, elongated egg style vibrator that has an added retrieval cord at the base of it. This toy comes in several bright colors, and is great for beginners.

This toy comes in a small box that isn't extremely discreet, but it would be fine to wrap and give as a gift. It comes with very in depth instructions, which you may need to read over in order to get this toy to work the way that you want it to. The box itself doesn't have any naked women or lewd language on it, but the front is simply a transparent window with images describing the features of the toy.
The vibrator also comes with a cute little die. This has a picture of all of the different PicoBong vibrators on each side, so if you had them all you could essentially roll the die to decide which one you were going to play with.
The vibrator itself is waterproof and made of smooth plastic. No part of the toy has any give to it at all, which allows for you to put more pressure where it counts. Because of the oblong shape, you can easily use this for more pinpoint stimulation or use the entire side of the toy. This makes it more versatile.

I have found that the vibrations are located mainly in the body of the toy, but the travel to the tip of the toy very well. If you have a lot of trouble with toys numbing your fingers you may want to be careful how firmly and long you hold this toy, but the vibrations are fairly buzzy and are about 2.5 out of 5 in strength.

I have used this toy in the shower and submerged it to clean it, so I can vouch for it being completely waterproof. The main issue I have with this toy is that the Picobong logo is super hard to clean. It's a depressed logo on the side of the toy, that also incorporates the buttons. The best way I've found to clean it is to utilize an old toothbrush.

There are quite a few different settings to this toy. There are at least 5 different speeds that increase as you push the + button, and then if you hold down the + button you can get to several different ramping functions and patterns of varying intensity. My one qualm about this design is that it's a real pain and takes two fingers to get into the patterns

This toy has a retrieval cord, but I wouldn't recommend it for anal use just in case. (Babeland also carries a large amount of anal-safe vibrators if that's what you're shopping for.) You can insert this toy and leave it in, which is great for a warm up or for public play, and it's easy to remove because of the cord. On high it's a 1.5 out of 5 on the volume scale, so it may not be safe to wear in a library but a public area would completely cover any noise.
All in all, I would recommend this to a friend who was looking for something small and compact, but who didn't need a lot of intense vibrations and didn't mind the difficult to press buttons. It's a very high quality toy and I really like it, but I feel like there are some minor design flaws in the buttons and the embossing that make use and care a bit more difficult than needed be.

Overall;
Noise-  1.5/5
Power- 2.5/5
Patterns- Yes
Waterproof- Yes
Overall Rating- 4/5

Pleasure Bullet Review

This is not as much a sponsored review as a review of the free Pleasure Bullet by Pipedream that I got for signing up for an Our Naughty Secrets account. Mine is pink, and shiny, and adorable! I also would like to point out that I got it in the mail two days after signing up, so they have super fast and reliable shipping. If anyone was concerned about the discretion of their shipping (as I often am,) here's a picture of their shipping envelope.


The bullet itself came in a nonreclosable blister pack. It's not great for storage, but it serves it's purpose and is a great way to minimize waste and not take up a lot of room in your trash can. While it doesn't state what types of batteries this toy takes, it does tell you that it's waterproof. Just an aside, these would be super cute party favors for an 'adult' themed birthday party or a bachlorette party!

The bullet is made of hard plastic. Plastic is nonporous and is super easy to care for, and if you want to disinfect it you can wipe it down easily with a 10% bleach solution. I've used this in the shower before and submerged it to wash it, and neither time did I find any water in the battery compartment. This vibrator is about 2 inches long.

I was concerned when I got this that I would have to run out and try to find it watch batteries, but I was pleasantly surprised that it already came with them. This toy takes 3 watch batteries that go into the base, which unscrews from the body of the toy.

Bullets are intended up be used externally on the clitoris and nipples, and are great for both solo and couple use. I don't recommend them for anal play or insertion. They're a great way to experiment with sex toys or to introduce them into a relationship. While this is a fairly cheap one, Our Naughty Secrets offers a wode variety of prices and quality on bullet vibrators.

This bullet is controlled by a push button base, which is super easy to press. When you press it, the one setting comes on. When you press it again the setting turns off. If you had this in your purse you may want to take the batteries out because the button may be easy to have accidentally go off in transit.

Overall, this is a great, adorable toy.
