What is a Vibrating Bullet? What are Vibrating Bullets For?

Last Updated on December 29, 2021

Rabbit vibrators, realistic vibrators, we're all well aware of these uber famous styles of female sex toys, but there is one smaller – (literally smaller) and lesser known option that provides a lady just as a big of an impact to her pleasure (if not more) as these bigger toys. It's known as the vibrating bullet toy.

Behold the magic vibrating bullet, also commonly referred to as the silver bullet vibrator. That small ultra discreet stimulator that's often found in every woman's sex toy box. The best magic bullet vibe is perfectly crafted for female sexual arousal.

Beginners often shy away from these because they are not that popular. You won't see them in television shows or movies so those who are new to the world of sex toys may not have ever heard of them before. If that statement describes you, today you are about to embark on a new sexual journey that will change your orgasms forever.

They are especially appreciated for their discretion. Of all sex toys, the silver vibrating bullet is the least phallic. Not every lady wants a toy that looks like a penis, so the vibrating bullet is her perfect match.

Vibrating bullets are also some of the smallest vibrators available for sale making them ideal travel companions for your honeymoon (or anytime, really) and are easy to store in your bedroom away from prying eyes. Menopausal and older women like them because the external stimulation helps with vaginal dryness.

Q. What is a Vibrating Bullet?

Vibrating bullet are not all created the same. There are are several unique features, shapes and styles that have a different effect to the user. If you want to buy a bullet vibrator online and only see the exact same silver bullet shape over and over again, you wouldn't find that interesting and wouldn't really be inspired to try one.

Knowing more about the different styles and reading tips on the best ways to use each one will make all the difference to your bedroom play sessions. Be sure to read my bullet vibrator tutorial that divides them into several subcategories and provides techniques for each style.

What is a Vibrating Bullet For?

The long definition of a vibrating bullet is a small, discreet vibrating sex toy for the clitoris that traditionally has a slim, elongated shape and resembles ammunition similar to a firearms bullet, hence it's namesake. There are now several different shapes that are available for sale, not just the slimline silver vibrating bullet that your grandma used to love. The opposite shape is called an egg vibrator and couples are really enjoying them as part of foreplay to increase female libido before sex.

Corded & wireless vibrating bullets.

In these modern times, we see a vast array of trendy shapes and new textures that complete the range of tiny female sex toys, and each style has it's own purpose and separate ways to use. Some have sleeves, and they are not always silver anymore either. Some are coated in soft silicone or gel, but most are still solid plastic.

Some vibrating bullets are battery operated with a corded controller, others are wireless. The newest styles have USB rechargeable motors and can feature remote control operation with a wireless controller with up to a 10 foot range. The mini bullet vibrator is extra small to target the clit with accurate precision.

Certain toys have a wide or fat egg shape that covers the entire vagina and labia. In fact, egg vibrators are so different they are actually a separate niche within this category. They even command their own egg vibrator tutorial because they differ from the silver slim style so much.. They used to be all colored in a silver hue, but now we see a multitude of colors including gold, pink, purple adorned with sparkling gems and shiny jewels to make them look extra petty!
