If there’s one kind of bullet in this world that you really don’t want to dodge, it’s that of the sex toy variety.
Small but mighty, it’s true what they say: good things definitely can come in small packages (no pun intended).
Not quite as intimidating in size as their adult toy cousins like rabbit vibrators and wands, bullet vibrators have become a favoured option to elevate both solo and partnered play time to elite status.
“Bullet vibrators are a popular choice for a first sex toy, certainly for those who don’t know where to begin,” explains psycho-sexologist and Lovehoney ambassador Chantelle Otten.

“While most mini bullet vibrators look like…bullets, there are a wide range of shapes, materials, power sources, and designs available for you to choose from. For those just getting started, a traditional bullet might be best.”
She adds: “Although small in size (usually around two to three inches), they certainly deliver in the pleasure department. They’re also extremely versatile & can be used on a range of different erogenous zones, such as the nipples, neck or inner thigh. By getting to know your bullet and exploring your body with it, you’ll find the things that feel best for you.”
There’s pros and cons to all toys on the market, with some types of toys more suited for certain types of play, pleasure and preferences than others.
When it comes to bullet vibrators, they’re well suited for precise and targeted stimulation, thanks to their size while those after penetrative play or internal stimulation should be advise that other options may be a more effective way of getting there.
On the plus side, bullet vibrators are also quite compact, meaning they are the perfect travel companion for trips away from home.
“Another great pro of a bullet vibrator is that you can add them to other compatible toys such as cockrings, masturbator sleeves, hollow strap-ons and dildos to add a vibrating element to these other toys, turning the fun up another notch,” adds Chantelle.
With all that in mind, there’s no better time to embark on your shopping journey – and we’ve rounded up the best bullet vibrators to invest in for maximum enjoyment.
