Remote-Controlled Bullet Vibrators

Whether controlled by an app or a remote control, this type of bullet is perfect for use together with a partner. Your partner can take control over the intensity of the vibes while they watch you use it from across the room or from the other side of the world.

Remote-controlled bullet vibrators like LYLA 2 are fantastic for adding a teasing element to a date night, discreet public play, or staying connected in long-distance relationships.

Waterproof Bullet Vibrators

Best for: Shower and bath play

Love a steady session in the tub? Or enjoy getting frisky in the shower after a long day? Then, the waterproof bullet vibe is your go-to!

Waterproof bullet vibrators are fully sealed for submersion, which makes them ideal for wet and wild adventures. Use it solo while having a soothing bath, or hand it off to a partner in the shower–this type of bullet lets you explore pleasure in more places with confidence.

If you’re considering getting a bullet vibe as your first toy, or as a new addition to your existing collection, here are all the benefits of owning one:

Benefits of Using a Bullet Vibrator

It’s Discreet and Travel-Friendly

Bullet vibrators are compact enough to slip into your jeans pocket, makeup bag, or a carry-on. Their small size makes them perfect for those who want a private pleasure option while traveling or living with roommates.

Super Beginner-Friendly

New to sex toys? Not sure what sort of pleasure you enjoy most yet? Not a problem–bullet vibe is here to help!

Bullet vibrators are often the first choice for those just starting out. These vibes are not intimidating, simple to operate, and offer a focused way to explore what feels good, at your own pace. It’s a classic toy for a reason!

Perfect for Partner Play

Bullet vibes are so easy to integrate into partnered play! Use them during foreplay, oral sex or even intercourse by holding the vibe against the clit for stronger orgasms. They offer extra stimulation without getting in the way.

Plus, because bullets are so nonintimidating, they are very easy to introduce into partnered play, even if your partner is scared or nervous to use sex toys together.

Versatile Pleasure

While bullet vibrators are designed for clitoral stimulation, they can be enjoyed all over the body, which makes them a super versatile sex toy to have in your collection.

Budget-Friendly

Many premium sex toys can come with a hefty price tag. However, the bullets, even more premium ones, are often available at a much more accessible price point.

How to Choose the Right Bullet Vibrator

Not all bullet vibes are created equally. So, when you’re shopping for a bullet vibrator of your dreams, keep these key features in mind:

Intensity: Some offer gentle buzzes, others deep power. Size: Bullets are small but vary. Mini for travel; longer for grip. Features: Waterproof for baths? Remote for partners? Battery: Rechargeable are stronger. Noise: "Whisper quiet" for discretion.

Using a Bullet Vibrator Correctly

Now that you know why a bullet vibe is a great addition to your sex toy collection and how to choose one that fits your needs, let’s talk about how to use a bullet vibe for maximum pleasure.

Step 1: Apply Lube for a Smoother Experience

Apply a generous amount of water-based lubricant (friendliest to all types of sex toys and easiest to clean up) to make the experience smoother and more pleasurable.

Step 2: Start Slow and Build Up

Take your time and start slow. Turn on the vibe on the lowest setting and see how that feels on various parts of your body.

As you get more aroused, gradually increase the speed and intensity. Experiment with different patterns and speeds. Turn it up before turning it down. Repeat a couple of times.

Experimentation builds anticipation and arousal, which will ensure you have the most sensual, erotic experience that guarantees powerful orgasms.

Step 3: Explore Different Pleasure Points

As we touched on, pleasure extends beyond the clitoris. Your body is filled with spots that feel fantastic when stimulated, and this vibe is perfect to explore new pleasure zones.

Try the vibe on:

Inner Thighs: Stimulating the thighs builds tension and is a perfect way to enhance foreplay. Nipples: Stimulate multiple zones at once. Draw circles around them. Perineum and testicles: Stimulating these areas can feel amazing. Clitoris: Experiment with stimulation of the clitoris to drive you closer to climax.

Step 4: Use During Foreplay or Penetrative Sex

As we touched on before, bullet vibrators are excellent for couples’ play. Hand the vibe to your partner so they can stimulate your pleasure zones during foreplay to enhance pleasure and build arousal. Or, take charge and use the bullet vibe on them.

Hold the bullet vibrator against the clit during intercourse to add extra stimulation for more powerful orgasms. Some sex positions are better for it than others:

The Speedbump: Partner lies on their stomach. Penetrating partner lies on top, penetrating from behind. Grind against a vibe. The Chairman: Receiving partner sits in their lap. They can hold the vibe against the clit. Doggy Style: Receiving partner is on all fours. Either partner can hold the vibe against the clit.

Safety & Maintenance Tips for Bullet Vibrators

To ensure the longevity of your bullet vibrator, it’s important to know how to use it safely and maintain it properly.

Always Clean Before and After Use

Cleaning your sex toys properly keeps your body safe and your sex toys working longer. Clean your bullet vibe before and after each use using a mild soap and warm water or a sex-toy cleaner.

If your bullet isn’t waterproof, avoid submerging it underwater. Instead, opt for cleaning it off with wet wipes or a damp cloth to avoid damaging the motor.

Use Only Water-Based Lubricant

Here’s the thing… not all lubes work great with sex toys. Especially, silicone sex toys.

Silicone lube can degrade the surface of silicone sex toys over time. The toy will become tacky and sticky and unusable.

To avoid that, stick to using water-based lubricants. They’re safe, easy to clean, leave no mess, and work with all materials.

Store in a Clean, Dry Place

How you store your sex toys matters, too!

After cleaning, make sure your vibrator is dry. Store it in a pouch, case, or towel. Put it away in a clean, dry, and cool place.

Check Waterproof Ratings

Just because the toy looks waterproof, it doesn’t mean it is! Some bullet vibrators are splash-proof, but not fully submersible.

So, if you intend to use your bullet vibe in the shower or bath, always check to see if it’s rated as IPX7 or fully waterproof to avoid accidentally damaging your bullet’s motor.

Charge Before Use

If you’re using a rechargeable vibe, make sure you charge it correctly. When you first purchase a vibe, the instruction manual often requires you to charge it before use to a full battery to ensure peak performance.

Avoid going too long between the charges or letting your vibe sit uncharged for months on end, as it may affect the lifespan of the toy and the battery.

Common mistakes can occur. It’s normal to slip up – perfection is not always attainable.

However, to ensure great results, here are some common mistakes you should aim to avoid:

Skipping the use of essential Lube.

One of the significant errors people often commit is missing the lube.

Friction may lead to discomfort, therefore the pleasure can be reduced.

Even if it feels smooth, adding lube can significantly increase comfort and pleasure.

Applying Too Much Pressure.

Bullet vibes can be powerful. Pressing them too closely to the body without the barrier on the highest settings can be overwhelming.

It’s not the best experience, especially if you’re just getting started with sex toys.

Let the vibrator do the work, and instead of pressing it too hard against your body, experiment with different types of touch.

Using Silicone-Based Lube on Silicone Toys

This combo is a serious no-go!

Silicone lube can break down the surface of silicone toys, which can make them sticky, porous, and unsafe to use.

When choosing a lube to use, pick water-based formulas that offer a smooth glide without leaving a mess.

Forgetting to Charge or Replace Batteries

There’s nothing worse than being in the mood to play and finding your vibrator dead…

Always make sure to keep a fresh set of batteries and regularly charge your vibes so they’re ready.
