The XTreme GPack Bullet is available from Sex Toys. I had my doubts about whether I’d enjoy using what is basically a bullet vibe after testing other more expensive vibrators, but this thing is awesome. AWESOME. This really goes to show you that cost does not always make something better or stronger. In fact, I’ve had less problems with this toy than I have had with some of the big fancy brands like Fun Factory, which are notorious for having wonky battery cases or random “dud” products that need replacing. For fans of the basic bullet vibe, this toy is going to be a nice upgrade. In fact, I’m going to be so bold as to say you should pass on all other bullet vibes and buy this. It’s got a jack, meaning that the bullet comes unplugged from the main unit and if you’ve got a toy like the Double Happiness Pleaser, you can interchange the bullets with this controller unit, although after some playing around with it, I don’t know why you’d want to. Half the fun of this toy is the curved shape of the bullet. And also, plugging this bullet into another controller is also not that exciting, because the settings are going to be all different, and the XTreme GPack Bullet has some really great settings! There are seven pulse settings, including one that is straight vibration with no pattern (solid ‘on’ vibe) and five speeds for each setting, giving you a total of 35 combinations.

It’s not waterproof, and you’ll want to avoid inserting this toy because tugging the cord to get it back out could damage the wiring and shorten the life of the toy. I have used this toy for (ahem) extended periods of time and not noticed any significant overheating of either the bullet or the battery unit. A lot of toys do heat up, and this one does not.

It’s an excellent value for the money. Put the 2 AA batteries in and it just works, multiple settings, and the bullet is curved to make it more useful in clitoral stimulation than your average bullet. It’s an attractive toy – I just love the purple and green, two of my favorite colors – and has a light up display to show speed and pulse settings. It’s as strong or stronger than your average $10 or $15 bullet vibe, and of a higher quality. I can’t say how long mine will last, as mine does not currently receive heavy use, but I can say that I know a friend of mine and fellow reviewer has owned this since January 2008 and uses it each time she masturbates, and it has not needed to be replaced. I am not kidding.

This isn’t as fancy a toy as many that I review, and I’ll admit that I waited a while to write the review because it wasn’t all bells and whistles. Lately, however, I find myself gravitating towards it. It’s just so easy. I’ll tuck it against my clit and sit back and read some erotica on my notebook computer, or lay in bed using it with the controller in comfortable reach on my stomach or beside me in bed (the cord is nice and long enough for this). I find that I don’t have to hold the bullet all the time, but can nestle it between my vulva and shift my hips and clench my thighs together to increase pressure and sensation, which leaves my hands free to do whatever else they need to, and also to change the settings.

Soon, I’m going to make up a list of toys that everyone with a vagina needs to own, and this one is most definitely making it on the list. Buy it. You will thank me later.
