The 26 best bullet vibrators, tried and tested by a team of sex writers
Good things come in small packages

Bullet vibrators may look small, but they’re actually some of the mightiest sex toys out there. No, seriously. Not only are they among the most affordable toys you’ll find, they’re discreet and deliver powerful, ultra-precise vibrations, making them ideal for first-timers and experts alike.
While their pointy shape means they’re great for clitoral stimulation, either during solo sex — AKA masturbation — or partnered play, they’re also incredibly versatile. Not only can they be great for nipple play, or all over good vibes, but adding these buzzy babes to cock rings, strap ons, and a whole host of dildos and plugs will elevate your sexual experiences by sending an extra layer of vibration to your erogenous zones.
Unlike their namesake, they can also be among the quietest sex toys, due to a smaller motor, which means they’re great for traveling, house sharing, and generally getting your kicks in a more *under the radar* manner. Basically, bullets = stealth mode. Scroll down for our pick of the *best* bullet vibrators for solo and partnered play.

What is a bullet vibrator?
If you’re new to the world of sex toys, you might be wondering what, exactly, makes a bullet vibrator a bullet vibrator.
Firstly, why are they called bullets? Well, because of their shape. They usually have a tapered end for targeted stimulation, and a smooth, round body that makes it easy to roll them, tap them, or press them over your erogenous zones.
For further info, we reached out to Gigi Engle, a sex educator and sex expert at sextoys.co.uk. “A bullet vibrator is basically what it says on the tin: it’s a vibrator that’s shaped like a bullet,” she explains. “They also come in other forms; sometimes they’re shaped like lipsticks, sometimes they’re palm vibrators. It kind of all falls into the same category of clitoral stimulation vibrators.”
