Evolved Novelties Playboy Bullet Vibrator

The Evolved Novelties Playboy Bullet is a compact, rechargeable bullet vibrator with grooves along its full length and a rounded tip for focused vibration. It has 7 speeds and patterns, a waterproof body and a size that slips into any bag. It suits first-time vibrator buyers and anyone who wants a small, simple toy for solo play or to add to sex with a partner.

Shape and feel

The Playboy Bullet is 3.57 inches long and under an inch across, so it disappears into a palm. Full-length grooves run down the body, which do two jobs: they give your fingers a secure grip when things get slippery, and they add a ridged texture wherever the side of the toy touches the skin. The rounded tip is where the vibration is most concentrated, so it's the part to use for pinpoint pressure on the clitoris, nipples or perineum. Lay it flat instead and the whole length buzzes against the skin for a broader, more diffuse sensation.

How to use a bullet vibrator like this one

Switch it on at the lowest speed and start away from the most sensitive spot: on the inner thigh, the labia or around the clitoral hood. Move gradually closer and try both the tip and the flat of the grooved body. Small circles, gentle tapping and slow up-and-down strokes all feel different. You can cycle through the 7 speeds and rhythms to find what works, then stay there or build up. A little water-based lube on the skin helps it glide without dragging. It's designed for external use; if you want to use any bullet internally, choose one with a flared base or a retrieval cord.

During sex

Small vibrators are easy to bring into partnered sex. Hold it against the clitoris during penetration, especially in positions like spooning or with the receiving partner on top, where there's room for a hand. A partner can also run it along the perineum or the base of the shaft. Because it's compact, it fits between bodies without getting in the way. It's also an easy way to introduce a toy to a partner who's never used one, since it looks small and unthreatening and the controls take seconds to learn.

Charging, water and care

The Playboy Bullet is rechargeable, with a USB cable in the box, so there are no batteries to replace. It's waterproof and submersible, so you can take it into the bath or shower and wash it under the tap. The body is silicone-coated plastic, phthalate-free and latex-free; use water-based lube, since silicone lube can wear down silicone surfaces. After use, wash it with warm water and mild soap or a toy cleaner, dry it and store it in a drawer or pouch. Keep it away from keys and coins in a bag, which can scratch the coating. Evolved backs it with a five-year warranty.
