Way back when someone shared some article about Target selling sex toys. I really want to say it was my mom because it sounds like something she would send me. This, however, was way back when. Fast forward to March of 2021. I’m in Target for the first time in a few months, I come to the `HBA and wind up in the sexual health section. And I’m shocked to see, sex toys!
Ok, so, Target has carried little personal vibrators for a while now. I think a condom company makes them, but, they’ve been in stores for some years now. At least, in every Target store, I’ve been in. I always felt a bit weird buying sex things in Target, which I’m not sure why. One guess would be that I feel like Target employees are like my family since I’m in there every other day it seems like. Or, at least was, pre-pandemic. I was. These days it’s a rare sight to find me inside the store, so I’m in there, like most people, I impulse buy, a lot, like this toy.
The Plus One Vibrating Bullet.
I’ve tried bullet vibes before in the past, and they were ok. They’ve never been my favorite, but usually, they got the job well enough for me to orgasm. One of the reasons I’ve never been a fan of these little vibe bullets is that I have big hands. Aside from being a super-fat, I’m also pretty tall and have both big hands and big feet. Well, as an AFAB person, those two things are bigger in comparison. Also, over many years of holding something in my hand, I’m pretty sure I have some form of carpal tunnel or arthritis or something in my hands, especially my dominant one. Bad kinky dad joke, but if we have dominant hands, would that make our other ones, submissive? Lol. Another reason why I sorta stayed away from these sort of vibes, they just weren’t as powerful to me as other, easier to hold toys. With all that being said, I bought this toy because it was cheap, and I thought it’ll be fun to review for this blog. I wasn’t expecting big things, but, haha, I got surprised.
Out of the box, it’s this little tiny thing, about half the length of a standard credit card, a little bit more girthy than a finger. It came with a little pouch, and of course, the charger. I laughed when I bought it and laughed when I opened it. I honestly just didn’t think it’ll do much for me, from my previous use of similar things. I was wrong.
Using this toy was not that hard. Being that it doesn’t have a handle or anything, using it, your hand is going to get right up into your genitals. I’m probably going to say this often, but if you can reach and touch your genitals, you can probably use this toy. Yes, no one wants to discuss reaching, as it’s not just sex-related, but also hygiene related too. So it’s a very touchy subject. Pun fully intended. I’m gonna be honest with y’all. Depending on the day and what my body wants to do, sometimes it takes a little bit more effort than I’m used to. Sidebar- I’ve picked up some weight and I really think having COVID did something to my body, so it sometimes feels like I’m discovering a new body. Whatever I’m reaching for, the job still gets done tho, but, some days it just feels different than others.
As said above, this little bullet vibe does require reaching. However, for people with vaginas, once you put it where you want it, you can sorta take your hand away and leave it there. What I mean by that, is that you can put this on your clit, leave it there and just squeeze your thighs together for some pressure and there you go! I’ve tried this sitting down, laying on my side, and laying on my belly, and it works. I didn’t orgasm from it those ways, but it still felt good and I’m sure if I would have played with these toys in those ways, I would have orgasmed. So, that’s one way to use this toy. Admittedly, these ways are pretty fun and enjoyable. Just think, you’re at home, sitting down at your 9-5, and you have a little vibe on. Not saying I ever tried that(yet), but, I’m sure it’ll make the day a little bit more fun, or a conference call a little bit more fun.
The material of this toy is great, as it’s almost like a non-slip texture, which for how small it is, is great. Even with lube, it doesn’t just go sliding everywhere. It’s a standard press and hold to turn on/off, with about 10 different speeds. The button is easy to find in those cases where you want to change the speed during play. It’s waterproof and rechargeable, which is great. I sorta loathe toys that use batteries. Yes, there are some pros and cons, but overall, rechargeable toys for the win! The charged time is pretty decent as well. I can use it for about 15/20 minutes per play session and it’ll last me for about a week. It’s easy to clean with any toy cleaner, and it’s the perfect travel size. It’s about $16 and you can buy it online.
Y’all remember how I mentioned that this did some big things for me? Well, I know no one asked, but this is a sex blog so, here y’all go. The type of orgasm this toy gives me is something else. I can have a range of different types of orgasms depending on the toy or if I’m with a partner. And even then, my orgasms are different between my lady partner and my boy partner. I honestly don’t know what it is about this little thing, but it just makes things quite intense and it’s a much more deeper orgasm. I honestly don’t know why, so don’t ask. But trust me, if clit stimulation is your jam, give this toy a try. And even for people with a penis and testicles, I’m sure this toy will make a fun little addition if you’re into vibrations on your parts.
Overall, this is a good little toy that’ll bring you a lot of fun. On a scale of 1 to 10 of being super fat-friendly with 10 being the most, it’s between 4 and 6. I don’t give this a solid score because of the reaching factor, and if you have hand problems, the vibrations may or may not be good for that. If you can easily reach your bits and don’t have any hand problems, this toy is a 6. If you find it harder to reach, then it’s more of like a 4. Would I buy this again? Yes. If you’re hesitant of trying a bullet vibe, this is a good one to experiment with as it’s mighty and not that expensive. Other than $16, you got nothing to lose. I’ll leave y’all with this, don’t be embarrassed to buy sex toys from Target. You’re an adult, you’re allowed. You don’t owe anyone, anything. Plus, with buying a sex toy from Target, you’ll at least get *something* back after unexpectedly spending your whole paycheck on some mouthwash and a bag of chips.
