Learn the best techniques for using a bullet vibrator, from positioning to cleaning, for maximum pleasure and safety.
A bullet vibrator is a popular pleasure tool, but using it correctly enhances both safety and satisfaction. Here’s a complete guide to getting the most out of yours.
1. Choosing the Right Settings
Most bullet vibrators offer multiple speed and pattern options. Start low and gradually increase intensity to avoid overstimulation. A 2021 Journal of Sexual Medicine study found that 65% of users prefer starting slow before reaching higher settings for better arousal.
2. Proper Positioning for Maximum Pleasure
-
External Use: Ideal for clitoral stimulation—apply gentle pressure in circular or back-and-forth motions.
-
Internal Use (if designed for it): Combine with external stimulation for blended orgasms.
-
Couples Play: Place between partners during intimacy for shared vibrations.
3. Enhancing Sensation with Lubricant
Water-based lube reduces friction and improves comfort. Avoid silicone-based lubes with silicone toys, as they can degrade the material.
4. Cleaning & Maintenance
-
Wash before and after use with mild soap or a toy cleaner.
-
Store in a cool, dry place to prolong battery life.
-
Replace if the motor weakens or the casing cracks.
5. Common Mistakes to Avoid
-
Skipping Lubrication: Can cause irritation.
-
Using on Broken Skin: Increases infection risk.
-
Ignoring Battery Safety: Remove batteries when not in use to prevent leaks.
