I love bullets. They are my favorite type of sex toy because I need clitoral stimulation in order to cum, but also because they are just so versatile. By yourself, with a partner, lying down, standing up, inserted not inserted....definitely the switch hitter of the sex toy family! The packaging was very discreet and the toy arrived in mint condition. I popped it right of of the packaging with no issues (packaging rage is so not fun, especially when it's a sex toy), opened the compartment and tried to get the batteries in. It is a tight fit for the batteries and I broke a nail getting them in there That said, the controller is a good size for usage, not too big or unwieldy, and fit in the palm of my hand very well. I put the bullet right on my clit and slid the slider up slowly so I could get a feel for how powerful it was going to be. I got to my personal vibrating comfort zone about halfway up the slider, but as I started to get more excited I slid the control all the way to the top. I came almost instantly due to the intense vibration, which surprised me. Usually I need a lot more lead time but the full intensity of this bullet is quite powerful. I recommend this toy for beginners and experts alike, but caution beginners to really get a feel for your intensity threshold before sliding the slider all the way to the top! The bullet itself is a good shape, thought it's a bit shorter and blunter with more rounded ends than other bullets I've had. It didn't affect it's performance at all, however. The cord length was too short, in my opinion. For personal use it was okay, but I think it would negatively impact usage with partner. Battery life is a concern with all battery powered toys and this one is still doing quite well. I used the bullet twice the day I received it and twice the next day. The vibrations the fourth time were as strong as the first time!
