My Verdict

For a brand renowned for their powerful products, the Doxy Bullet was underwhelming. A bullet so large could have housed a MUCH more powerful motor. It was louder than the power would suggest. Not to mention, two speeds wasn't enough for a slow build to climax. That said, I enjoyed using this product. The large, contoured shell felt comfortable to use internally and externally; and I loved the frigidity it imparted. It'd be ideal for those who prefer their vibrations slightly on the buzzy side, rigid-structures, and only use medium-strength settings. But, for $64.99, it should have really had a storage case and travel lock feature.

Personal Experience

My Personal Experiences with Doxy Bullet

Gentle Giant

I was surprised by the size of the Doxy Bullet when it arrived. It towered over my We-Vibe Tango like King Kong; but, in terms of power, it was a gentle giant. The motor had 7 vibration modes: 50% speed, 100% speed, and five patterns. Each option produced average-strength, slightly buzzy vibrations. I found the 50% speed to be less buzzy, though.

Testing…

The bullet contoured comfortably to the hands, and the size contributed to even more comfort.  The tapered tip offered pinpoint stimulation, while the sides diffused vibrations; this would be ideal for those who become easily overstimulated. The thick, aluminum shell buffered some of the vibrational transfer to my hands, but my fingers still went numb on 100%. Having only 2 speeds really limited my ability to slowly build to climax; however, it did the job. While it was large enough for vaginal penetration, it was neither curved enough for G-spot stimulation, nor long enough for Cervical stimulation.

Loud and Proud

The motor was as discreet as a dishwasher — literally. From six-inches away, my audio meter measured the volume at 63dB; this is 3dB louder than the average dishwasher. Most notably, the sound traveled. I tested the Doxy Bullet in my bedroom, under two comforters, with the door closed. My partner heard it from the second floor- audibly enough to search for the source of the buzzing. So save this bullet for days alone, or pleasure yourself with pride!

Design

Doxy Bullet Design

This Doxy had the silhouette of a classic bullet, at twice the size. The metal felt tantalizingly cool to the touch and beckoned exploration. A textured finish frosted the aluminum case, like a silvery winter. It resisted scuffs and fingerprints. The surface area, contours, and peaks allowed for variable stimulation. It was clean and sleek, but bulky. It came in two colors; the Silver was a little basic for my taste, but the Rose Gold was stunning!

Ease of Use

Doxy Bullet Ease of Use

All functions were controlled using a single button at the base of the bullet. Holding it for 2 seconds powered the bullet on/off, and pressing it filtered through the 7 vibration modes. This was easy enough. However, passing the ideal mode required me to filter through all the settings again; and there was no memory chip to save my selected mode. Additionally, the button required somewhat firm, precise pressure to activate. Although the surface was textured, it still became slippery with enough lubricant. This may be frustrating for arthritic users.

Quality

Doxy Bullet Quality

Structurally, the Doxy Bullet felt as though it could have survived Pompeii. The adonized aluminum shell was thick, durable, and resistant to corrosion. It was, also, "fully waterproof." The waterproof rating wasn't specified on Doxy's website, but I noticed no drop in quality after submersion tests. While the vibration quality wasn't the best, the battery seemed fine. The battery's first charge took 3 hours, but only 110-minutes thereafter. It lasted 82 minutes on the 100% mode, and 120 minutes on 50%. After hours of testing, the bullet never overheated.

Price

Doxy Bullet Price

The Doxy Bullet retailed for $64.99. Bullet vibrators can cost anywhere from $13-$89, which placed Doxy on the high-end. The package included the toy, USB charger, and a 2-year manufacturer's warranty (or 1-year warranty from certain retailers). Unfortunately, I wouldn't consider the Doxy Bullet to be worth the price. There was no storage bag, no travel-lock feature, and limited power. There are significantly more powerful bullets for a fraction of the price.

Performance

Doxy Bullet Performance

Doxy advertised this product as offering, "ultimate discretion," and, "powerful vibrations," at, "just a whisper." While bullets are certainly less conspicuous than a floppy dildo, Doxy's size wasn't exactly discreet. The vibrations were somewhat powerful, but not exceptionally so. And I'd challenge whoever called it, "whisper quiet," to power it up in a library. Additionally, it took 10 minutes longer to charge than the advertised hour and 40 minutes. That said, it was just as ergonomic and easy to handle as one could dream!

Packaging

Doxy Bullet Packaging

The Doxy arrived in, perhaps, the most hygienic packaging I'd ever received. The box was sealed in shrink wrap, as was the cradle and the bullet itself. That's three separate layers of tamper resistance! Aesthetically, the package design was pretty basic: silver- like the bullet- printed with pertinent information about the toy. It was compact, so there was little waste once discarded; and an internal cradle provided protective support during transit.

Materials and care

Doxy Bullet Materials and care

As mentioned, the Doxy Bullet had an adonized aluminum shell and a silicone base. Those who are tidy with their lubricant application could use any type. Otherwise, water-based lubricant may be ideal to preserve the silicone base. A little lubricant went a long way, and washed from the sleek surface with ease. The fully waterproof feature made cleaning even easier; I just used toy cleanser and water. Then, I allowed it to fully dry before storing, and only charged the bullet using the provided USB charger. Again, there was no storage bag.
