The humble bullet is one of the most versatile toys you can own. It's small, simple and easy to control — and once you start experimenting, you'll find it's useful almost everywhere. Here are ten ideas to try.
Before you start
- Charge it. A rechargeable bullet like the Serein is happiest fully charged.
- Add a little lube — water-based, like plusOne Aloe Glide, for smoother glide.
- Start on the lowest setting. Small toys can feel surprisingly strong.
Solo ideas
1. The slow warm-up
Begin away from the most sensitive spots: inner thighs, hips, the lower belly. Let anticipation build before moving closer.
2. Circles, then stillness
Trace small circles around the clitoris, then hold the bullet still in one place. Alternating movement and stillness changes how the sensation feels.
3. Through fabric
Use it over underwear first. The layer softens the vibration — perfect if direct contact feels like too much.
4. Tip versus side
The tip gives focused, pinpoint sensation; the side of the bullet spreads it out. Try both and notice the difference.
5. Pair it with your hands
Use the bullet in one spot while your fingers explore elsewhere. Combining sensations is often more satisfying than one alone.
Partnered ideas
6. During sex
A bullet is small enough to hold between bodies during penetration — either partner can position it against the clitoris.
7. Hand over control
Let your partner hold the bullet and follow your directions: "slower", "lower", "stay there". It's a playful way to communicate what you like.
8. Foreplay massage
Run it lightly along the neck, back, inner arms and thighs. Vibration on non-genital areas can be surprisingly lovely.
9. Add a blindfold
With a soft mask like the Velour, the bullet becomes unpredictable — and every touch feels new. See sensory play for beginners.
10. Turn it into a game
Take turns choosing where the bullet goes next — the only rule is to go slowly.
Care
Keep the charging port dry and wipe the Serein clean with a soft, damp cloth after use rather than submerging it. Let it dry fully before storing. More in our cleaning guide.
The Serein also comes in The First Blush Box with a silicone toy, lube and a satin mask. Not sure a bullet is right for you? Take the which-vibrator quiz.
