What we used: RO-100mm soft tip bullet vibrator
From: Rocks-Off
Price: from £12.90 (varies by retailer)
Material(s): chrome-plated ABS/silicone tip
Reviewer: D
This Rocks-Off RO-100mm bullet write-up is a special one, because it is has been undertaken by my newest reviewer, D, who is an amazing 74-years-of-age. All of you out there who think that sex toys aren’t for those of increased maturity? Think again! Reading her comments on this little vibe was fascinating – and I’m thinking that maybe I should have given her something a bit bigger to kick off with!
All I can say is that I hope I’m as wonderful and sexy as D is when I hit my 70s …
Packaging
Simple. Functional. Not very exciting.
Size and design
The size is fine if this is intended for a fairly inexperienced and modest user! They say size matters, but that is all relative, I guess. The RO-100mm was good for me as an inexperienced operator, but having seen something much more exciting (i.e. the Swan you recently received for review!), the Rocks-Off bullet seems a bit of a sparrow!
Value for money
Fabulous.
Materials/construction
Good quality; smooth with a very comfortable tip. I liked the black and silver colour combination although I understand the tip is available in different colours*, including pink. If the pink is a natural, flesh tone then I think this would be very acceptable, too. More attractive packaging would be appreciated but at such a modest price, one can’t have everything!
Ease of use
Very easy to use (you don’t have to be a rocket scientist) but the instructions are extremely difficult to read as the printing on the leaflet is microscopic. No problems with taking off the battery protector tab off (it runs on a single LR1 battery) or getting it started. Simple to clean.
Level of vibration
Well, I guess it all depends on what the user is used to! For ‘old hands’ who are used to a high level of vibration, this Rocks-Off bullet will probably be too tame. I found it fine, but then I don’t need a lot of intensity. (I think this is a very difficult area to assess as everyone is so different in their sexual needs and make-ups.) I liked it but haven’t had much experience with other vibrators. My feeling is that this bullet would be very suitable as an introductory model.
Anything else?
Just be careful not to ‘lose it’ during use! At 4 inches (10 centimetres) long and 0.8 of an inch (2 centimetres) wide, it is quite small!
In summary
Pluses:
- Value for money;
- Visually pleasing;
- Good for beginners.
Minuses:
- Extremely basic packaging;
- Difficult-to-read instructions.
*The Rocks-Off RO-100mm bullet is also available in blue, pink and red.
