21 best bullet vibrators 2024, reviewed by GLAMOUR editors
Bullet vibrators are the unsung heroes of the sex toy world. Of course, when it comes to the best sex toys for women, (and men, trans and non-binary people) we’re thankfully not short of options. From clit vibrators and wand vibrators to rabbits and dildos, there’s a whole host of ergonomic adult toys ready to help anyone on their sexual self-care journey. But, in our humble opinion, one type of toy is often overlooked in favour of fancier models, and we think that’s a crying shame. Enter: the bullet sex toy.
For many of us, the bullet vibrator might have been our entry point into the world of sex toys – but then shoved to the back of our bedside tables as we grew more experimental. But there’s a reason bullet vibrators continue to be best-sellers: they’re small, discrete, and compact enough to be chucked into a weekend bag or a suitcase when heading away for a vacay or Valentine’s Day retreat. And trust us, these discreet bullets can pack a punch. Just remember that a bullet is usually most effective as a clitoral vibrator for external stimulation – for better G-spot stimulation, grab a G-spot bullet.
Team GLAMOUR has been (*ahem*) busy testing the best bullet vibrators on the market, all to compile an edit of our top picks for your perusal. Here's everything you need to know.

How we test:
The bullet vibrators in this edit have been tested by people of all ages and sexualities, during both partnered sex and masturbation. They've been scored on features such as battery life, material, how they feel against the skin, how many settings they have and how easy it is to switch between said settings during play. The result is the crème de la crème of the bullet vibrator world.
When searching for the best bullet vibrator for you, consider these things in detail. In terms of shape, some have rounded heads, which produce slightly duller vibrations and are best suited to those who enjoy a gradual crawl towards climax. Others come with a pointed tip or angled head for pin-pointed pleasure and more intense vibrations.
Next: it’s important to consider what your bullet vibrator is made from. Some are made from stainless steel, but we'd recommend those made from body-safe soft silicone.
Consider the bells and whistles. Try a model with multiple vibration modes and patterns so that you can work through the intensities and find what feels best for you.
Anything else? Well, if you want to get steamy in the shower or bath, you might want to choose a waterproof bullet vibrator. Last but not least, read the reviews and consider the noise levels, especially if you have flatmates you’d rather not have a “What is that noise?” conversation with.
What is a bullet vibrator?
A bullet vibrator is pretty much what it sounds like: a vibrator shaped like, well… a bullet. It’s a great starter toy for those who haven’t forayed into the world of sex toys, or for people who just want to keep things simple. While bullet vibes are mainly designed to stimulate the clitoris, Cecile explains they can also be “rolled on the labia or orbited around the vaginal entrance,” during partnered or solo sex.
You (or your partner) could also use a bullet vibrator to tease other erogenous zones such as nipples or inner thighs. “Given the central role of the clitoris for female pleasure, it is a great toy to enhance partner sex,” Cecile elaborates, “be it for sex between vulva owners or sex between vulva owners and penis havers.”
