The 11 best bullet vibrators for an intense buzz in 2025, tried and tested by us

You can use a pick of the best bullet vibrators on your own, with a partner, or with other vibrators as well, which means they are also one of the most versatile sex toys around.

As the name suggests, bullet vibrators are small, bullet-shaped vibrating toys with rounded, sloped, or pointed tips. They come in all sizes and various materials, and they offer a range of functions from light buzzing to deep rumbles, but they are all easy to use, often controlled with a simple button on the toy's base. This combination of features makes them one of the best vibrators around.

To help you find the best ones for your body and pleasure preferences, as woman&home's digital health editor, I gathered a group of (anonymous) testers to look at key features like ease of setup and use, shape, material, power, price, and packaging. We also spoke to experts who offered top tips and advice on choosing the best bullet for you.

The quick list

The best bullet vibrators, reviewed by us

The best bullet vibrator overall

For a vibrator to be the 'best overall', it must tick every box. I (along with the three other testers who tried the toy) found that only the Lovehoney Ignite Bullet Vibrator did this throughout all the weeks of testing. It combines powerful vibrators with smooth silicone materials and a budget-friendly price tag. What's not to love?

The simple and satisfying shape was the first thing to stand out among my testers. "I like how it's slightly bigger than other vibrators. You can hold it without your fingers or hand aching after a while. It also has a more rounded tip compared to other toys, which doesn't feel super intense against the clit, but it still delivers in the orgasm department. This is my favourite vibe by far," says our tester Sarah.

The Lovehoney Ignite Bullet Vibrator has three speed settings to choose from and an impressive 17 functions. "I found I only used the first two speeds and the first three functions, but it's nice to have the variety should I want it down the line," says Sarah.

The best budget bullet vibrator

Affordability at the front of time when shopping for your bullet vibrator? It's got to be the Lovehoney Magic Bullet vibrator with an impressive 10 functions, a tapered tip for targeted stimulation, and under £15. If we had to have a top pick, it would be this one as it combines excellent functionality with an affordable price. You couldn't ask for much more - except a good lube to go with it.

Much like the Durex Intense Delight Bullet Vibrator, this vibrator has one button on the toy base. Pressing this button continuously will move you through different speeds and pulsation modes, with enough to rival premium vibrators on this list like the Love Not War Maya and Smile Makers' Surfer. If you're anything like our tester for this toy, Ellen, you'll have a great time.

"This vibrator was the best out of all those I tried. The vibration mode variety is great, although I just cycled through the first three. It's a powerful toy so chances are, you won't be spending too much time using it," she says. "The downside is the noise that comes with it. It's totally fine for me as I live alone, but this is not a vibrator for anyone looking to be discreet."

The most versatile bullet vibrator

A vibrator at the beacon of versatility. the Je Joue G-Spot Bullet Vibrator offers similar sensations to both a bullet and wand vibrator while also reaching the G-spot just as well as the best rabbit vibrators do. Now, we're not saying this one device will do all three of those jobs as well as a specialised toy in each department might, but it covers the bases.

"It gives off a strong buzz even on the lowest setting, and with five intensity levels, this vibe gives you a good spectrum of power to play around with. I enjoyed using it for precise clitoral stimulation, a rumble against my G-spot, and to create titillating sensations elsewhere on my body," says our expert tester, Lucy.

As for the practicalities, she says: "The buttons sit in a convenient place so it's easy and comfortable to use. The material makes for a smooth feel that allows for more movement than the silicone in the Smile Makers Surfer, which I also tested. It's on the quiet side and has the handy hold-down-to-turn-off function so you don't have to cycle through all the settings when you're done. It's very convenient when a toy comes with this many modes."

While it doesn't come with a travel lock - a handy tool to ensure it doesn't go off accidentally in storage - it is available to buy as one of the best vibrators on Amazon, if you're looking for discreet delivery.

The best silent bullet vibrator

Smile Makers have once again brought an element of playfulness and innovation to what could otherwise be just a simple (yet pretty powerful) bullet vibrator. Aside from the eye-catching colour and thoughtful contouring around the body, which makes for a comfortable grip, what stands out most about The Surfer is the 'fins' that sit on the rounded head. The inconspicuous size could almost pass for a cosmetic design feature, but these simple little bumps add a 'ribbed' element that elevates the pleasure factor.

"This is one to keep by your bed if you share a home with others," says Lucy. "As for moving through the settings, it's a smooth transition from one speed to another, which makes for a pleasant and uninterrupted experience. Unlike some other small vibrators, which leave you scrolling laboriously through speeds and patterns to turn off, it features a 'hold down to turn off' function. I thought this was an underrated but much-appreciated capability when you're ready to put it down for the night."

Our tester liked the premium feel of the smooth surface, too. However, there were two drawbacks. "It's not the most slippery of materials, so I found this toy was best when used with plenty of lube. And while it does offer a good climax, the vibe didn't offer the same earth-shattering feel of a clitoral vibrator or something with a slightly more pointed tip," she says.

The best premium bullet vibrator

We-Vibe is a favourite over here at w&h HQ and the brand often features in many of our sex toy edits. The We-Vibe Sync is one of our best remote vibrators, for example. I gave this bullet to a tester on the team, and they said it was one of their best sex toy picks of all time. High praise indeed!

"It's a sturdy bullet with a slightly greater length than other bullet products I've tried. I think it's all about balancing pleasure with comfort, but it's also practical. Using the We-Vibe was a pretty seamless experience, generally. It's easy to navigate the buttons, turn them on and off, and move through the settings. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of some other sex toys, but this was an advantage for me," says Sarah.

Considerate in every aspect, the longer design means this toy sports an obvious handle, which is unconventional for a bullet vibrator. But perhaps the most impressive thing about the We-Vibe Tango X is that it balances strength and subtlety in its vibrations. It gives off a powerful rumble rather than a ferocious buzz, meaning you get the benefit of the intensity without having to accustom a sensitive clitoris to the almost uncomfortable level of vibration that sometimes comes with strong vibrators, even on their lowest setting.

"Using this vibrator was the most pleasure I've had with a simple bullet and I won't be going back to using my other toys," says Sarah.

The best bullet vibrator for beginners

The Durex Intense Delight Bullet Vibrator is a fan favourite among the best sex toys for beginners as there's only one mode to navigate. While more advanced toys like the Smile Makers' Surfer will offer many variations of speed and pulsations, if you're new to bullet vibrators, this might be a bit much. At under £11 direct from retailers like Boots and Amazon UK, this one's perfect to try before investing in a more premium toy, should you want to.

There's just one button on the base of the toy to turn the device on and off, and the silicone feels super smooth to the touch, which I was surprised to find when I tested this toy, considering the price. Add a dash of lube, and it makes for an incredibly smooth and simple experience.

If you're not new to sex toys but are looking to complement one of your other toys (like a versatile rabbit, for example) with an easy bullet, this is also a reliable option. With a predicted battery life of 5 hours, you can trust this one will work in whatever situation. And if it doesn't, all you have to do is change the battery rather than spend ages charging it again. It's hardly the top choice on the list, with its natural negative point being that you can't increase the intensity, but it certainly gets the job done. If you're looking for a budget spend with a little more on offer, I'd suggest the Lovehoney Magic Bullet 10.

The best simple bullet vibrator

If you're looking for a simple vibrator under £15, with limited functions but plenty of durability, you can't go wrong with a bullet vibrator from Ann Summers. The Ann Summers 3-speed Bullet Vibrator is not the cheapest bullet vibrator on the list but I weighed up function versus price and this one came out on top, offering a bit of both.

It's a simple bullet that I've had for about three years now, and I'm pleased to say it still offers the same amount of oompf as it did when I first bought it. The resilience of this modest vibrator is not to be argued with.

Ann Summers' 3-speed bullet vibrator only has one vibration mode and three intensity levels, which is what makes it so easy to navigate. If you're someone who favours intensity over (sometimes annoyingly random-seeming) vibration patterns then it will do the job just fine. The tapered tip was also an improvement on the brand's previous baseline bullet vibrator, which featured a more rounded tip. The pointed end gives the vibrator its wow factor as you can target the vibrations wherever feels best and most stimulating.

The one turn-off with this otherwise excellent vibe is that you have to cycle through the settings to turn off the device, rather than just holding down the button as you would do with others on this list. And as the button can be quite stiff, it can be quite uncomfortable on the pads of your fingers to do so.

The best small bullet vibrator

Bullet vibrators tend to be smaller than other types of vibrators, generally, but at just 2.5 inches, the Lovehoney Enjoy bullet vibrator is one of the smallest around. It's also super discreet in this matt black colour, easy to store, and simplest to use.

There's just one speed and one button to turn the device on and off, so it's far from being an advanced toy, making it perfect for those who are new to bullet vibrators or are looking for a budget-friendly buy, being one of the cheapest bullets on the list. You can also pair it with various accessories, such as harnesses and cock rings in some cases, to increase everyone's pleasure during sex.

However, the Lovehoney Joy bullet isn't the best choice for use in the shower or bath. While most other bullets on our list are completely waterproof, this one is only splashproof, so you should avoid submerging it in water where possible.

The best aluminium bullet vibrator

If you've not tried an aluminium vibrator before, I can only urge you to change that - they are totally unique. My favourite is the Love Not War Maya for many reasons, but mainly because the toy is waterproof and can be cooled down (using cold water) or warmed up (using warm water) safely. Being made of metal, the tip offers very precise clitoral stimulation as well, without being uncomfortable.

There are plenty of speeds and vibrations on the Maya, but not so many that I spend my whole time pressing the button to find the right one. Compared to some other picks of our best bullet vibrators, the Maya has fewer choices. This is no bad thing, though. Limited options mean you spend more time scrolling through the options than using the toy.

Above all, the premium aluminium casing offers a unique feel to the vibrator that feels great against the skin. It's also easy to use with one button on the base of the toy controlling the modes, and it charges via USB.

The best remote control bullet vibrator

At w&h, we've also been testing out remote vibrators. Our tester, Sarah, picked out the Svakom Phoenix Neo Interactive as the best app-controlled bullet vibrator. In her review, she picked out the design as one of the first impressive aspects of the device. The slick and stylish silhouette is "not just a pretty face", she says. The Svakom Phoenix Neo Interactive is built with sophisticated technology that packs in 11 different vibrations, scaling from juicy foreplay to mind-blowing stimulation".

While it might look intimidating, the unique shape of this toy helps to both stimulate the G-spot and the external part of the clitoris at the same time. The bigger, ridged bulb sits inside the vagina (quite comfortably), while the flexible neck means it's versatile and easy to manipulate the smaller end into position for perfect clitoral placement. It also boasts a snug fit, meaning you can go completely hands-free without worrying about it slipping out or sliding around. It's helped by the soft silicone material, which tends to be a comfortable surface to work with as well - with lube, of course.

In terms of the controls, "they're simple to use on the device itself but the app function is an addition that's great for solo play or living out your sexual fantasies and handing power to your partner as I like to do. You can cycle through patterns and intensities or even set the vibration to react to and echo sounds and music from your phone," our tester explains.

The best alternative bullet vibrator

Just like the treat factor of a fancy hotel injects a little thrill into a dalliance, there's always that frisson of excitement when getting out a luxury vibrator for a solo night in. The Dame Pom piques that sensation before you've even removed it from the embroidered cloth storage bag. This isn't a typical bullet-shaped vibrator, but it does give you everything a bullet would, making it the top pick of an alternative to the classic bullet.

It's smaller than some of the other best bullet vibrators on the list, but the design of the tip introduces another level of clitoral stimulation, which is why our tester opted for this model over the brand's traditional bullet vibrator, the Zee. "The clever pinched tip that nestles itself against your clitoris is the level-up," says Lucy. "The rest of the device hugs your vulva for all-around pleasure. It doesn't have quite the precision as something with a pointed tip, but the distinctive shape means the other side of the device almost moulds to your hand. You can press this onto your body, rather than needing to find a good grip and hold it in place. The simple buttons also sit in a way that is comfortable to access during use."

When it comes to the vibrations, the Pom emits a soft but strong rumble that, like with the We-Vibe Tango X, isn't too harsh on the sensitive clitoral area. The initial vibrations aren't as powerful as with the Tango X, but with five intensities, it more than made up for it when she hit the higher settings. As for the premium factor, everything from the fancy storage bag to the interiors-worthy hues, the elegant shape, smooth material, and the slick magnetic charging port speak to the luxuriousness of this quite unpretentious-looking bullet vibe.

The only niggle our tester had with this - and it is just a small niggle - is that the soft silicone material meant that this vibrator collected lint quite easily. "Even when taking it out of the storage bag, it manages to attract little fibres that are seemingly impossible to get off without using a wipe or liquid," she says. Of course, it's always important to know how to clean a vibrator safely after use, but our tester wasn't expecting to have to do it beforehand too. Still, they said on their not-so-lazy days, it's one they don't mind having a pre-session spritz for a little high-end thrill.

How we tested the best bullet vibrators

How we test sex toys is very important to us. We used each toy several times and anything that made for a smooth, satisfying, and thrilling experience every time we used it was worthy of a place in the line-up.

From small and efficient bullets with minimal settings to models with high-intensity levels and toys in special shapes or extra features for heightened pleasure, the expert health team at woman&home has tested a range of the best bullet vibrators from different brands.

When testing the best bullet vibrators, we considered...

• Ease of setup: We noted how simple it was to set up the bullet vibe. Was it chargeable from the wall or did it require batteries? Many people prefer one over the other as it tends to impact how long the vibe lasts, so we tested a range.
• Ease of use: How easy was the vibrator to use for stimulation? When testing the vibrators, we recorded difficulty levels for cycling through the settings and button navigation, opting for vibrators that were the easiest to use even if they had many functions. No one wants to grapple with buttons in the heat of the moment.
• Shape: Was the toy ergonomic and did it have any features designed to help target the clitoris? Some bullets are pointed and others are rounded at the end so we collected a range of both to offer options for those who prefer one more.
• Material: How comfortable was it to hold during use and how did the material feel against our skin? Most bullet vibrators are made from plastic but we also looked at ones made of stainless steel for variety.
• How powerful the vibrations were: There's nothing wrong with a powerful vibe but was it a little too much for a first-time bullet vibrator buyer? We explored a range of the best bullet vibrators to offer a spectrum of intensity.
• How the device turned off: We don't think anyone wants to scroll through 17-speed settings to turn off after climaxing.
• Price: Unless you're looking for the most premium, luxury bullet vibrator on the market, there's no need to spend an arm and a leg on these small toys. When testing, we considered all price points, relative affordability, and value for money.
• Packaging: All models mentioned below were delivered in discreet boxes, but how environmentally friendly was the disposal? We assessed whether each of the boxes was fully recyclable or whether it was destined for landfill after opening.

How to choose a bullet vibrator

• Decide what kind of shape you want: We all have different needs, so while some may prefer a smooth rounded shape, others might want something a bit more pointed for more targeted pleasure. Some may be satisfied with a wider head that can be used in more general areas.
• Consider how many modes and intensities you'd prefer: This is a personal choice, explains Megwyn White, a certified sexologist. "Some may just like steady vibrations while others prefer a range of intensities and pulsing patterns," she says.
• Choose a comfortable material for you: Some people may enjoy using plastic for a smooth experience, while others might prefer silicone for a more luxurious touch. Megwn, who is also the director of education at Satisfyer, also suggests considering if you want a waterproof toy to take shower sex to the next level, too.
• Decide whether you want to take it travelling with you: If so, a travel lock is necessary to avoid suitcase mishaps. Alternatively, you could opt for a battery-powered model and remove the batteries while travelling. A travel lock is also a useful feature if you need to store your vibe discreetly in a drawer where it might get knocked around.
• Think about how it feels in your hand: If you are new to bullets, test the vibration in a more sensitive area like the underside of your wrist. Take note not only of the intensity on your skin but also on the fingers which hold the vibe. If it's too buzzy, it can be uncomfortable in the hand for longer periods. If you find it too intense you may want to opt for a model with more variety of strength.

What are the benefits of using a bullet? 

There are many health benefits of using a smaller vibrator like a bullet vibrator, over other types. “Bullets are perfect for those that might be intimidated by larger products or ones with added features as they are easy to incorporate into pleasure,” explains White. They're among the most popular vibrators and feature heavily in our guide on the best lesbian sex toys too.

Bullets are also ideal for storage and travel as they’re small and discreet. “They also enhance many erotic activities like oral sex or [they can be used] as a foreplay tool for teasing the body before more intense stimulation," she adds.

Can you use a bullet vibrator internally?

Bullet vibrators don't tend to be the types of vibrators you can insert and most bullet vibrators come with a warning that they shouldn't be used internally, so it's always important to follow the instructions on your particular bullet if you want to use it internally.

The main reason you often shouldn't use it inside the vagina is the off-chance it could get stuck or make its way too far into the vaginal canal and you won't be able to get it out. To avoid an awkward A&E trip, it's best to just use bullet vibrators externally and opt for a G-spot vibrator or rabbit if you're looking for specific G-spot (and clitoris) stimulation.
