My verdict
Ironically this Bullet is hit or miss, and it has nothing to do with aim. CalExotics' Bullet is pretty great when it works, but getting it to work seems almost as fickle as getting the Blush Lipstick to work. The device is remote controlled, each device requiring a AAA to work, and features 12 settings (mix of vibrations and patterns). Unlike Iroha, CalExotics was not kind enough to include any batteries, so make sure you have some on hand. The Bullet can be fully inserted in either desired entry point and can be easily retrieved with the cord attached to the one end. The device is almost silent to others once inserted which could make it interesting for public use. The remote allows for easy use on your own or with a partner as it can be used up to 32.75 ft (10m) away. No IPX rating given, but it does claim to be usable in and out of water. No use time is given for this device, and given the weird events during testing I'm not even sure how to guess at a proper length so 60 minutes was my overall guesstimate. Can be a great toy for first time users, and can be fun for public/private partner play.
Pros
Features 12 settings, 3 vibrations and 9 patterns, so you can mix it up however you'd like! ;P
Controllable via remote from up to 32.75ft/10m away. Great for single/partner play in public/private
Virtually silent to others when inserted, making it private/public play all that more enjoyable. ;P
No IPX rating given, but claims to be usable in water. Bath time just got a little edgier ;P
Easy travel companion due to small discrete design.
Cons
Does NOT come with any batteries, make sure to have some on hand before using!
Not 100% if it seems to quickly drain batteries, has finnicky circuitry, or I'm using iffy batteries
Use a toothpick or finger nails to clean the ribs as a simple wash will NOT fully clean them out.
No carrying pouch included with the item. Keeps the item clean, hidden, and is easier to travel with

Experience

Much like the Blush Lipstick, this was a mixed experience.

My battery charger says my batteries are good to go, but the device says "uh no" and I'm not quite sure who to believe...

I put a pair of rechargeable batteries in the device that got the green light but the device refused to turn on. I threw the batteries back on the charger despite the light being green and left them on a few more minutes and tried again. It was weird that the third time was the charm but nothing was done differently.

When I finally got it to work for an actual test it was quite enjoyable and surprisingly quiet, but trying to figure out why it doesn't want to work sometimes is bugging me. I was cycling through the settings at one point to see what it could handle and two full cycle throughs, less than 30 seconds between each change, seemed to have killed it, but the batteries were still green when I put them on the charger.

Right now it's making a liar out of me because it's working just fine lol. If it continues to actually work, I'd happily say this is a decent little device and due to its versatility I would definitely consider adding it to the seemingly expanding group of small travel devices.

Packaging

CalExotics was kind enough to send the product in a discreet white bag so it wasn't obvious to everyone around that there's something naughty in the box. The kindness stopped there when they decided not include batteries or a carrying pouch but I digress lol.

The design for this box is a simple four tone, partially open faced look. The front features a window that showcases the product itself, the company name, the product name, three bullets of quick information and an icon showing that it's battery operated. The back portrays a picture of the product, the name of the product, 6 bits of information in a presentation format around the product, 6 more bullets of information off to the side, and a chunk of technical jargon that people would ignore like it's the "Terms of Service". One side of the product is open faced with the product name, while the other also depicts the company name and shares some product information in 4 other languages.

The colors and pattern have an almost retro feel to them, but I like how simplistic but informative the whole presentation of the packaging is. Though I'm still not all that comfortable with admitting I now have a growing collection of sex toys, I feel this type of packaging would be among the few styles I've come across that would encompass that next step/level of being comfortable with my outer appearance of sexuality. I believe this is mostly due to the mild nature of the product itself as it's not phallic or overly sexual in any manner, essentially I'd much rather this be on display than the CalExotic's Jack Rabbit lol.

What's in the Box?!

Inside the package: The product itself, the remote, an instruction pamphlet, signed operating instructions, and a signed EU-Type Examination (Module B) Certificate.

Gotta love knowing the name of the guy that tested the radio device in the product, thanks Gordan A and Wayne Hsu! It would have been nice to see a carrying case included with this product, but CalExotics seems to be all about letting things hangout as they are lol. They are kind enough to allow the package to arrive discretely but after that you're on your own! And get your own batteries while you're at it! :P

Lipstick vs Ume-Anzu vs Bullet

Material - Iroha Mini Ume-Anzu wins, the whole thing is soft and nice to touch!

  1. CalExotics Bullet - Hygienically superior silicone
  2. Iroha Mini Ume-Anzu - Elastomer and ABS
  3. Blush Lipstick - A satin like lipstick tip and ABS casing

Waterproof Settings - Tie between Bullet and Ume-Anzu!

  1. CalExotics Bullet - No official rating listed but can be used under water!
  2. Iroha Mini Ume-Anzu - No official rating listed but can be used under water!
  3. Blush Lipstick - No official rating listed, claims it's waterproof but design doesn't look or feel like it would be.

Run Time - Iroha Mini Ume-Anzu wins for sure consistency and actual listed time!

  1. CalExotics Bullet - Doesn't specify, was finicky during initial testing but currently fine.
  2. Iroha Mini Ume-Anzu - Up to 5 hours
  3. Blush Lipstick - Doesn't specify, but the finicky nature of the device blocks consistent long lengths of use time anyway.

Charging Time - Tie!

  1. CalExotics Bullet - No charge time! Just have at least four rechargeable batteries on hand or a whole pack of regular and enjoy!
  2. Iroha Mini Ume-Anzu - No charge time! Just have at least two rechargeable batteries on hand or a whole pack of regular and enjoy!
  3. Blush Lipstick - No charge time! Just have at least two rechargeable batteries on hand or a whole pack of regular and enjoy!

Size - Tie!

  1. CalExotics Bullet - Perfect travel companion due to its small stature, easy to store and hide Could be passed off as a key fob.
  2. Iroha Mini Ume-Anzu - Perfect travel companion due to its small stature, easy to store and hide. Could be passed off as a lip gloss, blush or lotion.
  3. Blush Lipstick - Perfect travel companion due to its small stature, easy to store and hide especially because it looks exactly like a lipstick.

Vibration Settings - CalExotics Bullet wins!

  1. CalExotics Bullet - 12 settings, decent intensity
  2. Iroha Mini Ume-Anzu - 1 overall setting, but decently intense.
  3. Blush Lipstick - 1 overall setting, but decently intense.

Penetration Ability - CalExotics Bullet wins!

  1. CalExotics Bullet - 3.5" long and fully penetrable.
  2. Iroha Mini Ume-Anzu - Definitely more of an external stimulator. The shape is not the most penetration friendly style.
  3. Blush Lipstick - The lipstick end allows for 1 inch of penetration, but honestly the whole thing could be inserted if truly desired.

Ease of Use Regarding Vibration Settings - Iroha Mini Ume-Anzu wins!

  1. CalExotics Bullet - 12 vibration settings, Single button operation makes this device super simple to use. Quickly press to turn on and cycle through settings, hold down to power off.
  2. Iroha Mini Ume-Anzu - 1 vibration setting. Single button operation makes this device super simple to use. It's located on the side and is very reliable.
  3. Blush Lipstick - 1 vibration setting. Opens like a normal lipstick and turns on when fully extended. Is quite finnicky and is oddly a pain to turn on sometimes.

Ease of Use General Sense - CalExotics Bullet wins!

  1. CalExotics Bullet - Ergonomically friendly, great for clitoral stimulation, made for full insertion, easy to operate, easy battery change, somewhat durable design.
  2. Iroha Mini Ume-Anzu - Ergonomically friendly, decently sized but small rounded tip for nice accuracy and surface coverage, not insertion friendly, easy to operate, easy battery change, and durable design.
  3. Blush Lipstick - Ergonomically friendly, small lipstick tip makes it easy to pinpoint that exact spot, insertion friendly, conceptually easy to operate but inconsistent with when the circuit is closed and operational, battery cover is a bit of a pain, and does not feel all that durable.

Overall winner by Personal Preference: CalExotics Bullet wins, so long as it doesn't clonk out and act strange again like it did during testing for videos/pics. If it clonks out again, Ume-Anzu remains the winner as far as my currently owned battery operated toys are concerned.

I'm genuinely amazed I'm here! Though I can come off very flirty and sometimes talk a big game, when it comes to certain sexual aspects I am actually quite shy, slightly uncomfortable, lacking in confidence and can sometimes be downright prudish lol. My sex life always consisted of my favorite fingers or an actual man. (Shocking I know!) Toys were something I felt would disrupt intimacy or ruin my ability to orgasm without one. Let's face it, a man can't vibrate like a motor can or always keep up with the Energizer Bunny lol. It was actually a recent relationship with vastly different libidos that resulted in the strangest gift of my 1st ever toy: an egg w/ an app and settings created by other users. At first it felt like cheating... Over time, it became a boost to my independence/self-confidence and I realized I needed to learn to love myself in new ways. This is a definitely surprising step in my journey of self exploration, but one that I hope can oddly help others in theirs too!

  • Venice Vixen Review: Baby Why Don't We Go Down to KoKomo ♪

    Gotta get the usual puns/jokes and comments out of the way... Ready to get down and dirty in the sand?! Talk about fun in the sun! Sex on the beach anyone? Okay, got that out of my system... CalExotics Venice Vixen is my favorite "all in one" toy by CalExotics thus far as it's internally and externally stimulating at the same time. Compared to the Jack Rabbit it feels better built and high quality, with a different and personally more preferred shaft shape. The best thing about the Jack Rabbit was the ears, which in all honest I prefer to have over the encaser the Venice Vixen has to offer as they are just... more invigorating. Incase you're wondering and want an easy summation of features, the CalExotics Venice Vixen has 10 clitoral encaser modes, 3 shaft intensities, a use time of 45 min on high and 150 on low, a charge time of 150 mins, and though no IPX rating is officially provided it claims it's waterproof.

  • Adam & Eve Intimate Curves Wand Review: Not an Ollivanders' Wand but Still Pretty Magical

    Seemingly out of wand puns somehow, so disappointing! ><' The Adam & Eve Intimate Curves Rechargeable Wand is an excellent personal massager, vibrator and clitoral stimulator. It has a 3 hour use time on low, a 1.3 hour use time on high, is submersible in water, is dual ended and has 10 settings, 3 vibrations and 7 patterns, which start out at a decent intensity. Excellent for a first time wand user, no need to be a witch or wizard to use it lol.

  • CalExotics French Kiss Review: Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir? ♪

    This lip-locking sensual sucker is the best kisser in town! To semi quote Diageo from Silicon Valley... "This toy fuuucks!" *mind blown emoji lol* CalExotics French Kiss is hands down my favorite CalExotics toy thus far! My favorite part of the CalExotics' Jack Rabbit was the ticklishly tantalizing ears, and that's now been combined with the sucking sensation I've "come" to enjoy from toys like the Satisfyer Mission Control and Romp Lipstick... Merci for the toy I never knew I was missing out on lol. This beautiful toy has the poise of the INYA Rose but is bit better in several ways. It has 12 totally fuckable functions, two interchangeable heads, a travel lock setting, a memory chip and can be submersed in water... Can you say... "Ooo la la!" xD

    The Blush Allana Wand Is One High-Speed Setting After Another

    This is the third wand I've tested, and I have to say that wands are not my thing. My little lollipop-looking one was fun and perfect for me, but this powerful little beast from Blush has even more of a kick than the bigger-sized one I also tried out from another brand. Even the lowest setting on the Allana wand is powerful and hard to handle if you're not used to that much vibration. Now I know why I learned from the adult toy store I worked at for two weeks that wands are an acquired toy and can ruin you if you're not careful! I don't want to give you a bad outlook on this toy, though. Just because it's not for me doesn't mean that someone who loves using wands wouldn't find enjoyment in this particular toy. It has lots of benefits we'll get to soon.

    We-Vibe Chorus: Good Vibes for Couples

    Before I even start, I need to say that this is without a doubt THE best unboxing experience that I have ever come across with toys. Both my wife and I were blown away with that just for a start. It has little drawers in the box and to heck with a carrying bag...yeah...you get a whole carrying box that doubles as a charger! No dust and dirt is getting into this toy! The chorus is perfect for hands-free blended orgasms with penetrative sex. This toy works better for gentle lovemaking over going to pound town. Positions that involve grinding and riding work better as it pushes the clit vibrator up against her. As the man part of the deal, I can say that for me it feels good and is powerful. She loves it too and and it brings us closer. As it is hands free you can insert it under your underwear too and use the remote and/or app (both of which work very well) to get started and once she is warmed up, you can start taking things to the next level. On the topic of the remote (we prefer to use it over the app), the squeeze function is tops and is a genius way to give that extra boost without fiddling with buttons. Note that this is a partner toy and although you could use it with a dildo, I don't feel that that would be justified considering the price and how there are so many toys on the market that can be used for solo play. Fun Hint: You can use this for sneaky public play or while watching a movie.

    Waking up early to Ride N’ Grind by inmi

    Grinding in my opinion is one of the most fun ways to explore pleasure. For those looking to enhance their experience, this new product is a must-try. It stimulates the clitoris, vagina, and anus simultaneously with two strong motors that create deep, rumbly vibrations. You can sit on it to enjoy the sensation, turning any flat surface into a pleasure machine. Its shape fits your body well, with added ridges for extra stimulation. It's also versatile for different positions and fun to use while watching TV. The only thing is that I see it as potentially longer depending on your body type (keep it mind it’s about 6.6 inches long)

    Njoy Pure Wand – A Stainless Steel Delight for G-Spot and P-Spot Exploration

    This Toy Might Be Too Good! 😉 Ever picked up a toy and immediately thought, "Damn, this feels expensive"? That’s the Njoy Pure Wand. This thing is sleek, shiny, and heavy - like, "don’t drop it unless you want a permanent reminder on your bathroom floor" heavy. 😂 But once you figure out how to handle it, oh boy, it’s a game-changer. Perfect for both G-spot and P-spot play, this toy is all about deep, targeted pleasure. It doesn’t vibrate, it doesn’t have fancy buttons - just pure, manual control. And honestly? That’s what makes it so great. The weight does half the work for you, and once you get the hang of it, it’s like unlocking a new level of pleasure. Is it beginner-friendly? Ehh, maybe not. It takes a bit of technique and patience. But if you’re up for the challenge, this could easily become your new favorite toy. We’ve had it for ages, and it still looks brand new - zero wear and tear. So, if you’re looking for a high-quality, no-nonsense pleasure tool that’ll last forever, this is the one.

    Iroha Zen (Matcha) Review!

    This toy is gorgeous. It's the softest, yet hard that I didn't know I needed! It' a bit tougher to clean than a vibrator without these ridges, but the ridges also feel great and add to the pleasure. Downsides.... It needs batteries. It does come with the first set of batteries, which is great, but it's missing that ease of being rechargeable. The color is cute, the price is just right, only about $39.99. Affordable. The vibrations could be stronger though, and maybe one day they will make this similar toy but a bigger and thicker size. For now, this is perfect for beginners, and it is comfortable while playing.

    Bgood Classic Vibrator: Gotta Love a Classic

    Whoa. That baby purrs. I don’t know what screw is loose or if it’s a genius classic design, but the vibrations from Bgood Classic purr. That’s the only word for it. It feels almost like there's space between the motor and the walls of the toy, letting the vibrations reverberate through. It makes the vibrations feel deep and sensual. Not to mention, this toy has horsepower. Bgood was not playing around when they made this toy. My only critique would be that I wish it was easier to turn off and that the materials were slightly higher quality. It’s a little on the loud side, which I don’t mind–I live alone, so it’s fine. But it’s strong and loud, and when you’re done, it’s not fun to fumble around. If the materials were higher quality, it might feel more luxurious and have a longer battery life. It has five vibration settings, though the lowest intensity is still pretty strong. Overall, it’s a lot of fun.

    Iroha Zen Matcha: So Close, Yet So Far From Perfect

    I want to love the Irohna Zen Matcha so much that it’s hard to come to a verdict. There is a lot to love. The top is super plush, soft silicone that molds to your body and conducts vibrations better than tightly wrapped silicone. Its ridges are a perfect added element of texture, spicing up your session. Plus, those ridges, the bulbous shape, and the color all reference a matcha wand–truly, it’s a toy after my own heart. It’s even my favorite color! The biggest thing it’s missing is one or two more notches of power. The Matcha has 3 intensity settings and one extra pattern, so it goes low, medium, high, then pattern. It toes the line, but it’s missing that knockout punch. It’s also a battery operated vibrator, which is not the end of the world, but rechargeable vibrators are really convenient. Ultimately, it’s a lovely toy. But it just doesn’t have the power you need.

    Confusing Magic: the Ava VIVV Massage Wand

    The VIVV Massage Wand by Ava is an adorable, humbly sized vibrating wand with a flexible neck for precision pressure and pleasure. The high-quality, soft, silicone ribbed head adds an unexpected dimension to vibrations. However, the diagonal ribbing on the handle makes finding the buttons difficult and can turn an attempt to adjust intensity or vibration pattern into a lost orgasm. Slightly making up for the confusing texture, the Ava VIVV features 20 vibration patterns and 8 intensities. I say ‘slightly’ because at least 10 of the 20 vibration patterns are redundant. Their slight differences offer the nuance needed for precise pleasure, and taking a few extra minutes to cycle through and find the right one isn’t the worst way to spend your time. The only other hitch in this device is that it resumes whatever intensity and pattern you used before when you turn it on. Sometimes, this is great. Other times, it’s nice to reset and start out easy.
