Doxy Bullet

Way back in 2017 I published a post talking all about the top new sex toys that I wanted. Half designed as a space for me to express my excitement over new releases and share the news with you all, and half intended as a *wink wink* to brands, the second part didn’t exactly work out considering I never ended up getting any of them. That is until late last year anyway, when I finally reviewed the Doxy Die Cast 3R, the smaller version of the UK brand’s popular massager wand. On that list, however, there were actually two Doxy products featured, and I couldn’t help but feel a sense of disappointment that the long awaited Doxy Bullet never came to pass when reviewing the wand last year. So, you can imagine my surprise when out of seemingly nowhere, Doxy finally released it to the world just a few months ago!

Background

Originally previewed at the 2016 ETO Show, the Doxy Bullet has clearly gone through some changes in the last six years. Of the three versions shown, one was intended to be mains-powered, with controls that look similar to the end of a Doxy Massager, whilst two others were rechargeable but on the larger side. Of those, it seems only the slimmer rechargeable version made it through (which would be my preference anyway), and while it probably doesn’t have the same power capabilities that wow’d audiences at the show as the corded version, I’m just glad to finally see it on the market. Unfortunately though, as soon as it was announced, people were quick to point out a pretty glaring issue. Of the Bullet’s seven functions, only two are non-patterns, which, considering the vast majority of people seem to prefer steady speeds over patterns, is a no go. Personally, I don’t think any vibrator should have lower than three speeds, and from the general consensus online, people agree with me. Despite this, I still couldn’t resist giving it a go, and maybe it’ll prove us all wrong.

Product Description

Doxy Bullet and We-Vibe Tango II

The last few years have seen bullets getting more and more complex, but the Doxy Bullet is a return to the old-school design that worked so well. A smooth, metal body features a tapered tip at one end and a button at the other, and it is here you’ll also find the charging prongs for the toy’s magnetic charger. As is Doxy’s signature, the Bullet is then made from anodised aluminium, giving it a firm feeling that should transfer vibrations nicely, with the only silicone being used for its button. This also makes the toy quite cold to the touch at first, although it quickly warms up and retains heat well, making it ideal for temperature play. At 12cm / 4.7″ in length and with a maximum diameter of 2.5cm  / 0.98″, the Doxy Bullet is also much larger than the average bullet, and due to this it will likely be incompatible with many attachments, such as those made for the We-Vibe Tango II. With this in mind, it is also a fair bit heavier, although this is not particularly noticeable during use. Coming in two colour options, classic silver and rose gold (which is what I have), these subtle choices keep things feeling luxurious and discreet compared to the usual pinks and purples I’m use to seeing, and at the end the Doxy logo features twice. Finally, as with all good sex toys, the Bullet is also fully waterproof and USB rechargeable.

Packaging

Doxy Bullet and Metal Storage Case

My order with Betty’s Toy Box for the Doxy Bullet was placed on the 26th of July and I amazingly received it just two days later on the 28th, which is easily the fastest anything international has ever arrived to me. The package was then fully discreet, with no mention of who sent it or what was inside. After recently reviewing the Doxy X Lovehoney Die Cast 3R, I thought I had a rough idea of what to expect from the packaging, as I knew this once again came with a custom metal storage case. However, I was impressed to see that any additional and unnecessary cardboard has been dropped from the Bullet, so that the storage case is the packaging, which not only reduces waste, but looks way cooler. A plain metal tube of about 13cm / 5.1″ in length, a large sticker featuring the Bullet’s picture and info covers the majority of it. This is then supposed to be cleanly peeled off so that you may open the tube, and in doing so it pretty much removes any hint of what’s inside, apart from an additional smaller sticker on the bottom which can also be peeled off, and an engraved Doxy logo at the other end (although I highly doubt anyone would figure out what this was if they didn’t already know the brand). Unscrewing this, you’ll then find the Bullet resting safety inside, alongside its charging cord. As for instructions, these are not provided, but instead can be found on the Doxy website, and a QR code on the main sticker will also take you to this. Additionally, the Doxy Bullet comes with a one year warranty.

Charging

Doxy Bullet Charging

Being USB rechargeable, charging the Doxy Bullet is easy. Simply plug one end of its cord into a USB port, and the other end can then be connected magnetically to the toy. The magnets here aren’t the worst I’ve ever seen, but you will still need to be careful when placing it down to ensure it doesn’t fall off. When charging the buttons will light up and flash, and these will become steady when complete. It should then take 1 hour and 40 minutes to charge from a flat battery, although frustratingly I haven’t been able to find any information about how much playtime that is supposed to give you. Still, I have yet to have it die on me, so it mustn’t be too terrible.

Controls

The Doxy Bullet sees a return to the good old days of single-button bullets, which was the biggest thing I thought was missing in the We-Vibe Tango’s recent update. So for any fans of the OG Tango, you’ll be happy to know this works exactly the same. Just hold the button down for 2 seconds, which will turn the toy on and activate its first steady speed, which is 50% of its strength. There is then one more steady speed, bringing it to 100%, and then after this you’ll find five pattern modes. Clicking the button will allow you to cycle through these, and at any time you can hold the button down again to turn the toy off. I couldn’t be happier with how this works, as it is a simple and easy to use system that I never thought needed changing in the first place. Plus, having the one button at the end of the toy also makes it convenient to locate and press, whilst simultaneously ensuring you don’t have to worry about clicking another button by mistake, which has been another point of concern with recent releases.

Doxy Bullet Button

First Impressions

While Doxy are known for their strong, rumbly vibrations, the Bullet is only a fraction of the size of their large, mains-powered massagers. So with only two speeds to impress me, I won’t say I wasn’t a little worried. But turning it on, I was instead greeted with a powerful motor, for some of the most intense vibrations I’ve ever felt inside a bullet vibrator. While they are a little on the buzzy side, more so than similar vibes like the We-Vibe Tango X and Dame Kip, for vibrations of this grade that seems almost unavoidable, and the Bullet’s metal exterior seems to transfer them much better than if it were made with silicone or plastic, amplifying the sensation for an even greater experience. Plus, despite all this, they’ve also somehow managed to have barely any vibrations along the toy’s handle, which is impressive indeed. As for the toy’s noise level, this is where things go downhill a little, being easily one of the loudest (if not the loudest) bullet vibrators I’ve ever tried, and as such not really appropriate for those who need to be discreet.

My Experience

Bullets have been a bit of a sore subject for me lately. After my beloved We-Vibe Tango II and Nu Sensuelle Point both died in 2019, I have yet to entirely fill the hole in my heart that they left. While toys like the We-Vibe Touch X, Dame Kip, Lovehoney x Love Not War Amore, and even the new We-Vibe Tango X, came close, not one of them offered the classic bullet design I so adored. So when the Doxy Bullet arrived, I became cautiously optimistic, and after a few weeks of testing, I can confirm that this is the first time in three years that I finally feel like I have a bullet vibrator again. While having just two speeds does take some getting use to, the power the Doxy Bullet offers alongside the ramp up between them quickly makes up for the missing third. Then, whilst I do find the We-Vibe Tango X and Dame Kip much more rumbly, which can make them a better choice depending on the situation, I am just obsessed with how strong the vibrations of the Bullet are, buzzy or not, and this combined with the larger size and metal exterior helps take them to a different level. In fact, the only real downside I’ve found so far is that, like ABS plastic bullets, the metal on the Doxy Bullet isn’t really compatible with insertable toys that are also made of hard materials, such as the Njoy Pure Wand, in which case the silicone We-Vibe Touch X comes in handy.

Cleaning & Care

Doxy Bullet

Since the Doxy Bullet is fully waterproof, cleaning it is easy. Just wipe it down with some warm, soapy water, and then rinse. After this you can leave it to dry, and then return it to its storage case. Being metal, you can also use any lubricant you want with it, although be careful to not get silicone-based types on the silicone button.

Final Thoughts

Some things are classics for a reason, and that is the case with the humble bullet vibrator. The shape works, the size works, and having a single button at the very end keeps things quick and with zero fuss. So as much as I appreciate the desire to try new things that we’ve seen in the pleasure industry these last few years, I also think they have started to become overcomplicated for no reason, and at the detriment of the consumer. But the Doxy Bullet offers a return to that classic design, while bringing powerful vibrations worthy of our modern age, and I couldn’t be more pleased to name it my new favourite bullet vibe. While admittedly far louder and more buzzy than similar toys, like the We-Vibe Touch X and Dame Kip, the strong vibrations draw me in, and the simplified controls make me stay. So for anyone searching for a fuss-free yet strong vibe to add to their collection, or especially anyone like me longing for the good old days of the We-Vibe Tango II, grab yourself a Doxy Bullet, pronto.
