Your Guide to Using a Vibrating Bullet
Before we dive into our step by step guide, we think it’s important to talk about the basics.
These basics are mostly targeted towards those who are new to sex toys—especially bullet vibrators. However, it could also prove to be invaluable to those who are regular sex toy users, yet haven’t taken the time to experiment with a sassy bullet before.
Spoiler alert? They are a heck of a lot of fun!
What is a Bullet Vibrator?
A bullet vibrator is sometimes known as a ‘love egg’, and these terms are sometimes used interchangeably. It is a sex toy that’s shaped like, well, a bullet (hence the name). The top of the vibrator can either be round or pinpointed, and each will come with its own set of vibrational settings and patterns.
A rounded bullet vibrator is an excellent choice for those who prefer a more general vibration, and a pinpointed bullet vibrator is great for more precise and direct stimulation.
A bullet vibrator is designed for external use only, so it is often used for clitoral stimulation. But there are other ways to play with this luscious sex toy… such as using it on other erogenous zones (more on that later).
Bullet vibrators are petite in size, yet mighty in function, coming with the ability to go from zero to hero in a matter of seconds. And because they’re so discreet, they’re the perfect sex toy to take with you on a bout of travel or any kind of adventure.
Essentially, using a bullet vibrator is always a good idea—whether you’re looking for a pick-me-up, an evening of solo fun or partnered play, something fun to play with whilst traveling, a few cheeky glides across the body, or some delicious clitoral stimulation.
How to Choose a Vibrator
Vibrators in general vary so much that there’s something magical for everyone. Whatever kind of stimulation or penetration you desire, there’s surely a toy with your name on it.
In the realm of bullet vibrators though, how do you choose a vibrator that’s right for you?
Well, there are different shapes and sizes of bullet vibrators available. And, as we mentioned, most either have a rounded tip or a pinpointed tip. A rounded tip offers general stimulation and a pinpointed tip is more precise. In other words, if you are very sensitive, a rounded tip will probably be a better choice for you. If you like a bit more stimulation, go for a pinpointed tip to really stimulate your sweet spot. But there are other shapes available.
Some bullet vibrators can have two rabbit ears to ‘hug’ your clitoris, some are curved, some look like a teardrop, and some are shaped like a tube. There’s even something called a ‘lipstick vibrator’ (yes, it actually looks like a lipstick canister and it’s definitely discreet). Also, a bullet vibrator can vary in how slim it is. Some are longer and thinner, others are wider and smaller.
Then, something else to consider is how powerful it is. This may require an in-store visit, or you can read up about its vibrational intensity online. Choosing a more modest vibration, such as one with low rumbles, may suit those who are new to using sex toys and/or those who’re sensitive. Or, if you like it more intense, a bullet vibrator with a few different intensities could be the one.
Bullet vibrators also have different patterns. If you want the element of choice, try a vibe that offers a few different patterns. There are some however that have just one pattern—a solid vibration.
Next, you may want to consider the type of material it is made of. Many sex toys use silicone, and this is an excellent choice because it pairs effortlessly with most lubes, it’s soft, and it feels amazing. There are other materials though, such as jelly rubber, elastomer, plastic, or synthetic skin, to name a few. Maybe you’d also be interested to know if the material is waterproof or not.
Another aspect to consider is how they’re used. Does it come with a remote control for hands-free play or is it handheld? Does it require batteries or is it rechargeable? These aspects can make a big difference, depending on what kind of play and experience you’re after.
And lastly, take the time to research the different brands. Some sex toy companies are more reputable than others, and offer sex toys that are of a high quality and are simply put, luxurious. Some of the more simple and cost-effective sex toys can do the trick too, so it may seem smart to go for a cheaper bullet vibrator at first to see if you like it. You might also want to know what the different brands stand for, if they’re vegan, eco-friendly, or have an opinion on sexual health matters and other causes.

Step 3: Lube
We love lube for so many reasons. Using a lubricant is not just a way in which to increase natural lubrication for penetration. It’s also a way to play with different kinds of sexual wellness aids that give off different sensations and smells. A warming lube, for example, can give off a new kind of sexy sensation that feels arousing and different for new kinds of orgasms. And then, you could play with scented lubes, like coconut. Alternatively, a simple water-based lube is always a good idea to add in a bit of slippery fun.

For example, you could run it across the nipples, the vagina, on the perineum, and other hotspots. It need not only be used for genitalia and that’s the beauty of it. One thing to note however is that a bullet vibrator should not be inserted (unless otherwise stated).

How to Use a Bullet Vibrator with a Partner
Sure, we have mentioned a few different ways to use a bullet vibrator, but when you add a partner into the mix, you’ll be able to experiment with a slew of other ways to play.
One way you could use a bullet vibrator with a partner would be to use it on the clitoris during penetration or stimulation. This could be during oral sex, while using an internal sex toy, fingering, or during p-in-v penetration. Or, one could run the bullet vibrator along a vulva owner’s labia and clitoris.
Another way to use a bullet vibrator with a partner would be to tease and please the penis shaft and testicles. Simply glide it softly along the area, and find the best possible pleasure for some fun with your lover.
And last but not least, there are different kinds of cock rings that come with a bullet vibrator attachment. In other words, a penis-owner could wear a cock ring during intercourse, which will then stimulate the clitoris with the built-in bullet. Both partners can experience heightened bliss and hands-free stimulation.
Cleaning and Storing Your Bullet Vibrator
As mentioned in step five in our nifty guide to using a bullet vibrator, it’s important to clean your sex toy and to store it properly in order to keep its integrity. Cleaning your sex toys also gets rid of unwanted bacteria, which is important for our health.
Cleaning your bullet vibrator may depend on the type of vibrator you have. For example, if you have a silicone bullet vibrator, you could use lukewarm water and non-bacterial, non-scented soap to clean it. Then, you could let it air dry or wipe it down with a clean cloth. This is an easy process because the material is non-porous.
If you have a bullet vibrator made of porous material, the clean up may differ slightly. It will also be more rigorous because porous material can easily absorb bacteria. Oftentimes the clean up involves antibacterial soap and lukewarm water, unless the toy is made of materials such as stainless steel or glass, and doesn't have a motor.
The most important thing to do is to know what material your bullet vibrator is made of and follow the manual for direct instructions on how to care for and clean your sex toy.
And then, before you put your bullet vibrator into storage, you must make sure that it is clean and dry. If it is not clean or fully dry, it can cause bacteria to develop. After this, you could choose a cloth bag or a storage box to store your bullet vibrator, as long as it has enough space to breathe. We recommend that it is stored in a cool, dry place, be discreet yet easy to access when the mood strikes.
How to Charge a Bullet Vibrator
Charging a bullet vibrator is straightforward and easy. And in the case of this type of vibrator, you could either have a cable that means that the toy is rechargeable, or it will need batteries. The size of the batteries, and the amount of batteries needed, will depend on your toy, so be sure to check the instructions.
If your toy has a cable, you’re going to want to plug it into a power source and then into the toy. Then, leave the toy to charge until it is full. Usually a sex toy will have some kind of light or way of indicating when it is fully charged. Don’t take it off charge until it is full, especially the first time around.
If your toy uses batteries, then you’ll have to consult the manual or take a look at the battery port to make sure which type of batteries you’ll need and how many. Once that’s known, simply insert and go have fun!
