It does not happen often, but sometimes I actually forget to review toys I buy. Back in the fall of 2022 I have bought the Doxy Bullet because I have gotten several reader questions from pro doms and FtMs about this toy. I played with it, I tested it and I forgot about it – until earlier last week when a *trans friend of mine asked me about it. Confident that I have reviewed this vibrator ages ago, I searched my website for the review and could not find it. So, with just a delay of approximately 2½, finally here’s the review of the Doxy Bullet.
Before diving into the review, I want to thank the front hole rocking testees who patiently and very open mindedly helped me in exploring the qualities of the Doxy in these rather uncharted nether regions for me. And finally a warm welcome to the about 20% of my readers who don’t have a dick! I dedicate this review especially to you.
Construction
Unlike the others massagers from Doxy, the Bullet is a unibody design without a vibrating head. Like all Doxy products it is made out of die cast aluminum. The tip resembles a bullet yet after a short head section it tapers towards the middle and opens up again towards the bottom. Back when I have bought mine, it was only available in brushed silver. Now is also comes in a brushed rose.
Like with the Bullet’s big brothers, power unit and battery reside in the bottom half while the vibrating unit sits in the head section. With the Bullet, there is not movable head but the vibration is directly transferred onto the aluminum body.
The bottom is made out of silicone. In the middle sits a power button. Pressing it for about a second will start the vibration. It always starts with the first of seven programs.
- Continuous slow speed
- Continuous high speed
- Wave
- Low frequency bursts (about 4 vibrations per second)
- High frequency bursts (about 7 vibrations per second)
- Two shorts bursts followed by one second of continuous
- 13 shorts bursts, 2½ seconds of continous, 8 long bursts, 2½ seconds of continous
Left and right of the power button are the contacts for the magnetic USB-A charging cable. Above the contacts is a white LED which flashes when charging und lights up when completely charged. The charging time from a completely empty battery is about 1:45h. Depending on which program you run, you get around 2h of play time. Sadly, the small magnets are not that strong. So carefully place the Bullet when charging it. This no MagSafe level of connection!
With an overall length of 11.7cm and a diameter of 2.5cm and a weight of 85g the Bullet is very small and fits in almost every pocket (or jockstrap pouch). It is completely waterproof for hot- or bathtub travel. That also makes it easy to clean when playing with lube. Despite being almost completely made out of aluminum, you cannot boil or autoclave it to sanitize (yes, that was a real reader question…) since it is an electric device! Heat will destroy the electronics and can make the battery explode! For cleaning, please just use warm soap water, sanitizer or vinegar cleaner if you want to be sure. Just rinse the toy with clear water properly afterwards if you want to insert it into a front hole again.
The Bullet comes in a tooled 5.1×13.5cm aluminum cylinder. In the bottom half is slot for the vibrator, the charging cable curls up in the top. While this is a very high quality and nice packaging, I personally never use it. It is simply too bulky and big compared to the small toy.
Playing with the Doxy Bullet
The primary use case for the Bullet was front hole stimulation. The rounded design makes it perfect for insertion and targeting the sexy itches where they occur. Due to the shape of the body, it offers two distinct kinds of feelings. The vibration is strongest at the apex of the head. There you can really feel a relatively “deep” vibration. While at the tip it is more of a buzzing sensation. The vibrations quickly fade the lower you get down the shaft and it is almost unnoticeable at the bottom.
The small form factor which brings limited leverage of the vibration unit, it is far from being a strong as its bigger brothers. But compared to other finger vibrators which I have played around with, it is one of if not the strongest one. That’s why the Doxy has become a travel companion for many *trans friends of mine and a standard item in my toy bag.
But since about 98% of my play partners and testees have a dick, most of the review experience was gathered on this kind of genitals.
On a penis, it is more of a teasing toy. Being so small, it is best applied to the frenulum where the limited intensity can have the biggest effect due to the high number of nerve endings. But even when pressing the apex against the tip of the ventral groove and selecting a focused program like 4 or 5, it will be difficult to induce an orgasm. For this deeper, stronger, the entire glans shaking vibrations are necessary. The Bullet is a nice toy in an edging or milking scene. Using TPR cock rings, you can even attach it to a dick. But most like the battery will run out before seamen starts leaking.
The nimble design makes the Bullet a nifty toy for teasing locked boys in open-design cages like the Kink3D Cobra or Viper. The small top can fit between the bars and still reach the foreskin/ frenulum. The stimulation is strong enough to cause an hardon. But even with the most desperate boys who have been chaste for ages, the Bullet could not milk out an orgasm.
The effect on the rear side greatly depends on the bottom and his prostate sensitivity. In my sling, I had guys who JUMPED when pressing the Bullet against their perineum. Sticking it into the anus and starting it can have the same effect. It feels a bit like the light humming sensation of a low power setting bi-polar plug. If you can reach the prostate inside the rectum depends on the bottom’s anatomy. But if you can, the contrast of smooth metal caressing the glans while shocks of vibration are hitting the organ is delightful.
Especially the deeper vibrations around the apex are useful the reigniting nerve endings which have become numb. When putting clamps on a body part, like the nipples, the pressure nerves will get used to the stimulation and over time get numb. Vibration can reactivate the nerves. If you are extra-evil you lightly move the vibrating Bullet against the nipple right after taking the clamps off. Pressing against the nipple will have the adverse effect because the nerves have not recovered yet.
Like I said, the form factor severely limits the vibration power. So the Bullet is not strong enough to cause stickies in diapers or stimulate locked dicks by just pressing it against the cage. But it is a perfect, small and nasty surprise to keep in your pocket for surprising your bottom in unexpected situations.
