How to Use a Bullet Vibrator

What is a Bullet Vibrator?

The bullet vibrator is a small, compact vibrator most often shaped like a bullet, from where it derives its name, and we can undoubtedly claim that this is one of the most popular sex toys globally. The elongated body and slim shape of the bullet vibe make it a versatile toy that allows you to experience the vibrations where you need them the most. Still, it can also be used for sexy exploration and spicier sexy times.

How to Use a Bullet Vibrator?

The bullet vibe may be a compact toy, but a quality model certainly packs a lot of power, which is why you can use it in so many ways. The initial purpose is clitoral stimulation, but you can do so much more with this little toy. Please consider purchasing one for you (if you already don’t have one), as we’ve found it to be the best way to start exploring your sexuality and follow our tips on how to use a bullet vibe:

• Clean the toy – always start with a clean toy, and that goes for your bullet vibe as well; it does not matter that you won’t be using it as an insertable toy. For waterproof toys, a quick rinse with soap and water will do the trick, and you can use antibacterial wipes for non-waterproof models.
• Learn the controls and charge the vibe – most bullet vibes today come with rechargeable batteries, so make sure you charge the toy before playing with it. Also, check the control buttons to learn what each of these does and scroll through all the settings.
• Start low and go slow – start your bullet vibe at the lowest setting and tease your body to feel the vibrations. Never rush into things, but slowly explore your erogenous zones to see how it feels, and once you are sufficiently aroused, you can apply the bullet vibe to your clit and increase the vibrations.
• Mind the pressure – you can touch the bullet vibe lightly to your clitoris, or you can press with it; it all depends on how sensitive your body is and how easy it is for you to achieve a clitoral orgasm. We need to emphasize that everyone’s body reacts differently to sensation, so listen to your body’s reactions and adjust the vibrations and pressure accordingly. If you are a beginner, here is a tip to try: slowly explore different pressure and vibration intensities, like holding your bullet vibe lightly on the clit, tapping it, or alternating between light and stiff pressure – you’ll be amazed at how different orgasms you can achieve with the extended buildup of sensations.
• Use lube – even if you think you are sufficiently aroused and your vagina is dripping wet, a dab of lube never hurt anyone, which is why we always recommend you use it when you play with your bullet vibe. A drop of water-based lube will make the vibrations smoother, protect your skin from irritations, and help protect the clitoris from chafing.
• Enjoy the orgasm and clean up – after you reach orgasm with your bullet vibe, we suggest you take a few moments to enjoy the afterglow and then clean up. Clean your bullet vibe per the manufacturer’s instructions, dry it, and store it in a special sex toy storage bag to protect it and keep it pristine for next time.

Tips for Playing with a Bullet Vibe

We know that playing with a bullet vibe is somewhat intuitive, but we still have prepared a couple of tips that we believe will help you get the most out of your bullet vibe:

Use it During Oral Sex

You and your partner can engage in some oral play, and you can undoubtedly add a bullet vibrator to the mix. Try teasing their erogenous zones while you tease their genitals to enhance the pleasure. One example is to turn on the bullet vibe on low humming vibrations and press them against his ball sac while you go down on him. In the opposite situation, the partner can lick the vagina and use a bullet vibe to tease the vaginal opening for enhanced sensation.

Combine it with other Sex Toys

The bullet vibrator is most often the size of lipstick, and it is a great advantage because you can combine it with other sex toys. During solo play, you can explore clitoral stimulation while incorporating penetrative sensations from other toys.

A dildo is excellent, but you can choose a suction cup dildo and ride it while playing with the bullet vibrator. There is also the option for anal play combining it with your bullet vibe playtime; a butt plug will stimulate the nerve endings in your anus, making you ‘battle’ arousing sensations on two fronts.  

How to Choose a Bullet Vibrator?

Picking a quality bullet vibe should be a fun process, and we have a complete guide on how to choose a bullet vibrator in our blog. We also have a complete offer of different models in our sex toy store, so here are only the key things to know when selecting a bullet vibe:

• Material – the best material for bullet vibes is silicone, as it is smooth, phthalate-free, non-porous, body-safe, and comfortable. It is also effortless to clean. The other materials we recommend are ABS and steel, but we advise you to stay away from low-quality jelly materials.
• Controls – check the controller options; does it come with a button control, wireless remote, or even app control. Each of these has its merits and allows for different ways to lay with them.
• Battery – you can select between battery-powered or rechargeable models, and again, both have their merits. Battery-powered bullet vibes are more affordable and straightforward to use, as you only pop in a new battery, and you’ll be ready to go. The rechargeable vibes are more expensive, but these come with better options.
• Extra features – under extra features, we list things like waterproof use, app control, warming feature, and the like.

Cleaning and Storage

Bullet vibrators are relatively easy to clean; however, the cleaning process mainly depends on whether the sex toy can fully come in contact with water. For example, waterproof bullet vibrators can be easily washed with warm water and soap. You can also use cleaning solutions and special sex-toy hygiene products to ensure full sterilization.

Non-waterproof sex toys may require a bit more attention. Since the toy contains a vibrating mechanism, you should avoid fully submerging them in water. You can still clean them with a damp cloth and antibacterial soap or use cleaning wipes.

After cleaning the bullet vibrator, leave it to air dry in the open and store it in a lint-free pouch. Some bullet vibrators come with a special storage bag that you can also use. Avoid storing your bullet vibrator in a plastic bag, no matter the material of the sex toy, and don't leave it in direct sunlight or a damp environment to avoid damaging its outer structure
