Desire Luxury Rechargeable Bullet Vibrator
Bullet vibrators are an extremely important part of my sex life, mostly owing to their compact and unobtrusive nature. I would estimate a solid 90% of the time I have partnered sex, there is a small vibe involved somewhere - be it foreplay or penetrative intercourse.
Over the years, the infamous We-Vibe Tango became my weapon of choice but, after numerous repurchases of this very powerful but equally unreliable toy (I have probably owned 10+ and the battery life has been so shocking I’ve needed a spare one to have on standby) I decided enough is enough and to look at other options.
The Desire range had been on my radar for a while and all the toys appear luxurious and from the reviews, excellent value for their price range (I like my fancy toys, haha).
I had reservations about purchasing this bullet, but that was mostly due to the We-Vibe brand loyalty I was trying to shake. However, Lovehoney regularly have excellent deals on their own brand products and on Black Friday I decided to take the plunge and buy the Desire bullet. Actually, I snagged two as the price was so good!
The packaging for the Desire range is great - super sleek and attractive, I would not be ashamed if the bin man spotted it in my recycling, haha. The bullet comes with a cute little leather look zipped storage pouch that also houses the charger.
Magnetic chargers are often the bane of my existence, but this one is great and only comes detached if obviously knocked (for those looking for the comparison - it is so much more reliable than the awful Tango charger).
The Desire bullet is slightly larger than I expected, wider than a standard bullet which means it doesn’t stand a chance of fitting in regular bullet slots in other toys. This doesn’t bother me too much but it’s something to bear in mind.
I love the silicone coating - it feels much less abrasive than the Tango’s hard plastic outer which I find can sometimes be painful on high settings. It is operated by a single button which is not an issue for me.
Now, the clincher - is it powerful enough?
I’m not a power queen per se, but I had gotten used to using my Tango on the highest constant setting by default, so I was concerned nothing else was ever gonna “do it.”
I am pleased to say that my clit gives the Desire bullet 5 stars… and then some!
While it lacks the rumbles that are so distinctive of the Tango, it is certainly very powerful. I will confess that it is quite buzzy and the highest constant setting may be numbing to some people, I often don’t need to go past the second speed. Says it all there, really?
Two odd but positive things I will say: I really like that this bullet starts off at its lowest speed - so many of the alternatives I looked at for some reason start at their highest setting which I think is dumb for a toy with a single button interface. Also - it DOESN’T have a memory function that starts on the setting you left it. Both are pet hates which by lacking just makes this vibrator even more perfect for me.
Overall, I am absolutely delighted with this purchase, the Desire bullet is a firm favourite and I wouldn’t like to be without it!
Overall Rating: 10 out of 10 stars
Pros: Looks good, super powerful.
Cons: Bit buzzy and numbing on highest setting - not that I need it!
Bottom Line: Pretty much perfect for me, well done Lovehoney!
