What is a bullet vibrator?

Also called clitoral vibrators, bullets come in all shapes and sizes. It’s one of the most versatile categories of sex toy, with everything from small and discreet options that are no bigger than a finger, to larger wands that double as massagers. Some have tiny “rabbit ears” – a nod to the classic rabbit vibrator – while others are topped with suction heads that use air to gently and safely stimulate the clitoris.

Types of vibrator

There are plenty of other options if you aren’t sure about bullet vibrators, including ones for couples. We’ve outlined the other main categories below.

Vaginal vibrators: designed for internal use, these are longer and often have a tapered tip for ease of use. They can also offer clitoral stimulation but most are not specifically designed for this purpose.

G-spot vibrators: these have a curved tip to stimulate the G-spot, the name given to the cluster of nerves on the internal front of your vaginal wall.

Combination vibrators: these have two key parts – the main shaft for internal use and a clitoral stimulator, which is often shaped like rabbit ears.

Things to consider before you buy

Check you’re happy with the dimensions and the way it looks, some will end up being bigger or smaller than you thought. Also consider the range of settings and speeds available and how loud it is – look for “whisper quiet” vibrators if you’re worried about being heard.

Some vibrators will be battery-powered; these are cheapest and most popular, while rechargeable sex toys avoid the additional cost of replacing batteries. Lastly, consider the material. Plastic is firm to the touch and a popular choice, but opt for silicone if you’re more concerned about comfort. Skin-safe rubber is soft and more flexible.

Avoid anything containing phthalates (chemicals used to increase flexibility) as these have links to health risks. Look for the “phthalate-free” certification on the box. None of the vibrators in any of our round-ups contain phthalates.

How we test

Every bullet on this list has been tested by our trusted Good Housekeeping Institute panel of more than 60 women, spanning all ages. They put each product to the test to make sure they met our high standards.
