Doxy Bullet vs Lovense Exomoon Side-By-Side Comparison
Performance Ratings
Our Verdict
The Doxy Bullet has a ton of power but no lower vibration settings that most people need to warm up with. The vibrations are also very buzzy, which can feel overwhelming at this intense power level. The vibrations travel into my hands and are distractingly loud.
Overall, there are much better options at this price point.
If you enjoy extreme power like the Doxy Bullet has, the Blush Limited Addiction and Doxy Go (a mini wand) have comparable vibration strength. But they also provide some less intense levels that the Doxy Bullet is missing – and they improve in other areas.
Or if you want something with deeper, rumblier vibrations, the We-Vibe Tango X or We-Vibe Touch X are some of my favorites. Though not quite as extreme as the Doxy, these still reach high strengths.
The Lovense Exomoon is an app-controlled lipstick bullet vibrator that’s best if you want an exceptional app and prefer rumbly vibrations with mild-to-moderate strength.
The Exomoon is more rumbly than Lovense’s other vibrators, though it doesn’t pack as much intensity as some, including the Lovense Ambi bullet vibrator. Those who value the deep impact of rumbly vibrations will want the Exomoon. Those who care more about intensity will prefer the Lovense Ambi.
Lovense’s app is excellent – the best of any brand we’ve tried. Its features are helpful and intuitive. And the Exomoon maintains a steady, reliable connection with the Lovense app. The Exomoon is also quiet and visibly discreet with its realistic “lipstick” design.

Vibrations: Power And Range
The Doxy Bullet has incredible strength. Vibration strength is the Doxy brand’s specialty – they also make the strongest wand vibrator I’ve tested (the Doxy Die Cast). Its enormous strength makes the Doxy Bullet appealing to those who crave intensity.
But with only 2 power levels, its lowest setting is already very intense at 7.5 out of 10 vibration strength. It provides no gentle settings for those who need a warmup.
While testing the Doxy bullet, I had to use gentler bullets initially, then switch to the Doxy once I was ready for more power. I think most people will agree that the starting level is too intense. This is the main reason I recommend the Doxy Go instead – it has 5 settings, reaching the same top strength as the Doxy Bullet while also including gentle and moderate warmup levels. Note that we tested the Doxy Go as a wand vibrator so scores between the two reviews are not directly comparable. Read about how these compare below.
There are other bullet vibrators at this price point that achieve high strength but also include some lower levels that are better for warming up. The Blush Limited Addiction matches the Doxy’s top strength but also offers more moderate starting levels (though still nothing super gentle), which can be less jarring in that warm-up phase.
Or the BMS Swan Maximum is an even more powerful bullet with a broader power range, but I find it less comfortable to hold, so I prefer the Limited Addiction personally.
The Lovense Exomoon has a good power range with gentle-to-moderate strength but lacks intense upper levels.
When controlling the Exomoon in the Lovense app, the lowest power starts at just 1 out of 10 vibration strength. This gentle starting level is excellent for those who need a soft warmup. And you can work extremely gradually through 20 intensity levels to reach its max strength of 5.4 out of 10, so there are no giant, jarring leaps. Increments are very comfortable.
The top strength of 5.4 out of 10 is less intense than some, including Lovense’s other bullet vibrator, the Lovense Ambi (which reaches 8 out of 10). However, I still orgasm reliably with this moderate level of strength, and it will be enough for many people.
Those who prioritize rumbliness over high intensity will enjoy the Exomoon. If you prefer power over rumbliness, consider the Lovense Ambi.
When using the Exomoon’s button instead of the app, you’ll have access to 3 intensity levels. The first begins at about 25% power, the second at around 60%, and the third is 100% power. So the on-toy controls still provide a good power range when you don’t want to use the Lovense app.
Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)
Since most people prefer rumbly vibrations, we rate these bullets higher than buzzy ones. However, your preferred vibration frequency is just that – a personal preference! I often enjoy a neutral or moderately-buzzy feeling bullet myself!
However, buzziness combined with extreme power typically feels overwhelming and uncomfortable to me. And that’s exactly what the Doxy Bullet is: extreme in both power and buzziness.
The Doxy Bullet’s first setting falls in the moderately buzzy range. Some days, I still find this first buzzy setting overwhelming, even after warming up with a gentler bullet first. The second setting is extremely buzzy and super intense. While some people might enjoy that much buzzy strength, it’s too much for me and is hard to use.
If you prefer rumbly vibrations, consider a different bullet. The We-Vibe Tango X is the most rumbly bullet I’ve tested – all 8 of its power levels are extremely rumbly. Or if you enjoy some buzziness, but not too extreme, the Lovense Ambi is excellent. It ranges from extremely rumbly on low to moderately buzzy on high. But because it’s not so far along the spectrum, I enjoy its buzzy settings.
Most people prefer rumbly vibrators, so we rate them higher than buzzy ones. However, preferences vary, so consider what you enjoy!
The Lovense Exomoon has great rumbliness. It’s lower-frequency (more rumbly) than most bullet vibrators, including the Lovense Ambi. In fact, every power level lands in the rumbly range. The gentler settings are extremely rumbly, but even its highest power levels remain moderately rumbly.
I have not found a more rumbly app-controlled bullet vibrator than the Lovense Exomoon. It’s great for those who value rumbliness and don’t need exceptional intensity. If you want more power and don’t need app control, consider the extremely rumbly We-Vibe Tango X.
Stimulation Precision
The Doxy’s precision level is medium. It does have a tapered tip for more precise stimulation, but it’s a pretty thick bullet. I enjoy this combination of a fine tip and thicker bullet for the versatility. You can use the very tip for more focused stimulation. And then, you can angle the Doxy Bullet to press the side against you for slightly broader stimulation.
The We-Vibe Tango X, the Blush Limited Addiction, the FemmeFunn Booster Bullet, and the Je Joue Classic are some bullets with similarly versatile precision but better performance overall.
Whether you prefer focused or broad stimulation is entirely a personal preference.
The Lovense Exomoon provides focused stimulation. It’s one of the narrowest bullet vibrators I’ve tested. And the lipstick tip comes to a fine point, giving it an even tinier surface area.
This is great for limiting stimulation to a small, specific area. If you prefer direct clitoral stimulation, this is an excellent option. I can apply medium pressure with this bullet but don’t like to press too hard, or the small tip begins to feel pokey. The Lovense Ambi provides more moderate focus if you enjoy some broader stimulation.
App Control: Close Range Features
The Lovense app is outstanding and is my personal favorite app for controlling my toys. It offers a wide variety of simple, intuitive, and useful features to control the Exomoon. (The connectivity is also extremely reliable – we discuss connectivity here).
The main “Remote” control screen is easy to use and gives precise, extremely versatile control over your vibrations. Use the “Float” button to quickly set the vibration power to any constant level.
Or you can draw out the exact pattern you want to feel by dragging your finger up and down to increase or decrease the vibration strength. Click “Loop” to put your creation on repeat. If you enjoy the pattern, you can save it for future use.
You’ll also see the vibration pattern clearly on the screen, so if a partner controls your Exomoon, they can tell exactly what you’re feeling. Many other brands don’t provide good visuals to your partner, making it hard for them to understand how their actions affect your toy’s vibrations.
One downside we noticed is that if you lock your phone screen, the vibration pattern changes a bit. The Exomoon keeps vibrating, but it’s not the same pattern you drew using the “Loop” button. This issue is only a minor inconvenience, and it does not occur when using the “Float” button to set a constant strength or when using pre-designed patterns.
You can choose from pre-made patterns under the “My Patterns” screen and adjust their speed. Or head to the “Discover” section to view patterns created and shared by other Lovense users. You can save any of these to your library.
You can vibrate along to your favorite songs with the “Music” feature, but they have to be songs saved on your phone. Spotify compatibility has been disabled since September 1, 2022, when Spotify discontinued support for third-party apps. You can adjust how sensitive your toy is to the beats of the music. This is an excellent feature if you want to enjoy a constantly changing pattern without keeping your fingers busy on the screen.
Use the “Sound” feature to make your bullet responsive to the noise picked up by your phone’s mic. This is especially fun in a louder environment with Lovense’s wearables like the Lovense Ferri or Lovense Lush 3.
You can also set an alarm for your bullet to buzz at a particular time, though this is less useful for handheld toys like the Exomoon.
App Control: Long Distance Features
The Lovense Exomoon’s long-distance features and experience are excellent.
The Lovense app allows you to connect with a long-distance partner anywhere in the world. Adding a partner (or partners) is simple. Once you’ve saved them in your partners list, you can text, send photos, video chat, and share control of your toy – all within the Lovense app.
Your partner’s control screen is the same as the “Remote” feature you have during solo play. So they can easily create a repeating pattern using the “Loop” function or set your Exomoon to a constant power using “Float.”
While video-chatting, your partner can see the vibration pattern overlayed on the screen so they can tell what you’re feeling. Or they can hide the vibration pattern to see you more clearly! Lovense’s visuals during video calls are better than other brands like Satisfyer. You can also share control without video or audio for anonymous play.
You can save multiple partners in your list if you connect with them often. Or send out an anonymous one-time link to someone. The anonymous feature lets you send a control link that works for a set amount of time. Once the time expires, they’ll lose access.
If your partner also has a Lovense toy, you can simultaneously control each other’s toys! You can adjust your partner’s settings to either require an invite and confirmation to control your toy each time, or to automatically accept their request so they can take you by surprise! This feature is best for their wearable toys like the Lovense Ferri and Lovense Lush 3.
The Lovense Remote is the most intuitive app for long-distance control I’ve used. And you each have great control and privacy settings to customize the experience. If you are primarily looking for a long-distance bullet vibrator, a Lovense toy like the Exomoon or Lovense Ambi provides the best experience.
App Control: Connectivity
The Lovense Exomoon and other Lovense toys have the most reliable connectivity with their app. It connects to the app quickly and easily. And it remains reliably connected.
The first time you pair the Exomoon with Bluetooth, you’ll select “Add Toy.” The initial pairing process takes less than 20 seconds. After you’ve paired it once, when you open the Lovense app, it will typically connect instantly and automatically.
Most brands require you to walk through a series of steps each time you want to play, but Lovense’s connection is typically instantaneous.
I hardly ever have trouble with it disconnecting during use, even if I leave it dormant while using other apps. If it disconnects due to separating the toy and phone, it often automatically re-pairs when they’re back in range.
And if you do have to manually re-pair it, it’s a very quick and easy process. Simply select the Exomoon from your list of toys again.
The same applies to long-distance control. My partner and I can keep a reliable connection, with disconnections being rare and minimally disruptive even if they do occur.
If app control is important to you, Lovense toys are the best – primarily because of their reliable connectivity.
Comfort & Ease of Use
The Doxy is a nice size to grip and easily leverage. But it’s one of my worst bullets for feeling the vibrations in my hand. It’s one of the main reasons I don’t reach for this toy. I can only hold it briefly before the hand vibrations become unbearable.
It has one button on the end of the bullet to cycle through the two power levels and all the patterns. It’s not ideal for quickly finding your favorite setting. I prefer the Doxy Go, Je Joue Classic and We-Vibe Tango X’s multi-button system, which lets you increase and decrease power using separate buttons to make quick, easy adjustments.
Or the Lovense Ambi, which only has one button on the toy itself, but lets you make fine-tuned adjustments through the app. Not to mention the ability to design your own custom patterns in the moment.
The Lovense Exomoon is very comfortable and easy to use. It’s right at the shorter end of my ideal bullet length. Its 3.4-inch length provides enough space to grip and leverage the bullet for good pressure. Vibrations in my hand are minimal and not distracting.
The bullet’s discreet “lipstick design” gives it some unusual ridges near the tip, which I had to adjust to. But it’s nothing that will bother most people.
The Exomoon has just one button on the toy. So if you don’t want to use the Lovense app, you’ll need to cycle through the 3 intensity levels and 4 vibration patterns. I wish it had separate buttons to increase and decrease power. But if you want more in-depth control, you can use the app. The button is easy to press without adjusting my grip.
Use During Sex
Unfortunately, the vibes that travel into my hand make the Doxy Bullet very distracting during sex. The sound is also a downfall – it is the loudest of my bullets and just takes me out of the mood. The hard, aluminum surface also gets pressed uncomfortably into my body during sex. For those who care about using their bullet during sex, I recommend other options.
If you prefer strong, neutral to buzzy vibrations, consider the FemmeFunn Booster Bullet or Lovense Ambi. Or if you like rumbly vibrations, consider the We-Vibe Tango X. Each is better during sex than the Doxy Bullet.
The Lovense Exomoon is a decent bullet to use during sex.
Since it’s on the shorter end, it can be a little tiring to reach down and hold it in place during sex. It just takes a little more effort than some.
The tapered tip works well during solo use but requires you to angle the bullet’s base away from your body to keep consistent contact. That angle can be restricted in positions where you’re facing your partner, like Missionary. It’s still doable if you lean away from each other a bit. But it takes more intentionality than some bullets – especially those with angled shapes like the Lovense Ambi.
It’s better in positions facing away from your partner where you have plenty of room to maneuver the bullet.
If using your bullet during sex is a top priority, consider the Lovense Ambi. If it’s not a top priority, most people will still enjoy the Exomoon during sex.
Noise
The Doxy is my loudest bullet vibrator. During our testing, it was audible from behind a closed door on all settings. This is the only bullet vibrator we tested that was still audible after turning on a box fan in the bedroom. Only loud music was able to drown the sound out. So it’s not a great choice if you have housemates.
And even if there’s no need for discretion, the sound is just plain distracting. Any other bullet you might be eyeing on my list will be better because none of the others bother me like the Doxy Bullet. Doxy’s mini-wand reaches the same top strength while remaining much quieter.
The We-Vibe Touch X is the quietest if you prioritize discreet sound levels with decent power. And the Lovense Ambi and Je Joue Classic are other strong options that are both completely inaudible from behind a closed door on all power levels.
The Lovense Exomoon is very quiet. It’s inaudible from behind a closed door on every power level, so it’s discreet. And the sound isn’t annoying during use, either. If discretion is a priority, the Exomoon is a good choice.
Battery Life
The Doxy Bullet has a reasonable battery life, lasting about an hour and a half on high power.
However, several better bullet and mini vibrators last just as long or longer, including the We-Vibe Touch X, We-Vibe Tango X, and the FemmeFunn Booster Bullet.
The Lovense Exomoon is rechargeable and lasted 85 minutes on high power during our testing, which is pretty good. I often forget to charge between uses and still have plenty of battery life.
Build Quality
The Doxy Bullet has a quality build. The metal construction feels very sturdy. The aluminum body is smooth and elegant. And the silicone button feels quality and not cheap.
But given the other deal-breakers I’ve mentioned about the Doxy Bullet, I’d choose another high-quality option, such as the We-Vibe Touch X, the We-Vibe Tango X, or the Lovense Ambi.
The Lovense Exomoon’s build quality seems good. A silicone handle would feel a little more luxurious, but the ABS plastic handle feels solid and durable. The silicone tip is very smooth, and the button has a nice feel.
I’ve had the Exomoon since June 2022 and have not experienced any issues yet. And I’ve had other Lovense toys for over 3 years without problems, so I expect the Exomoon to last.
Cleaning
The Doxy Bullet is very easy to clean. It’s IPX7 waterproof (completely submersible), so you can wash it in the sink and use it in the bath.
The Lovense Exomoon is completely waterproof (IPX7 submersible), so it’s very easy to wash. You can submerge it in water without worrying about keeping parts dry while scrubbing with soap and water!
