FemmeFunn Ultra Bullet vs Maude Drop Side-By-Side Comparison
Performance Ratings
Our Verdict
The FemmeFunn Ultra Bullet is one of my favorites. It’s an excellent mid-budget option for those who enjoy buzzy vibrations with medium to immense power. While still moderately strong, its first setting is comfortable as a warmup. And the FemmeFunn Ultra is one of just a few bullet vibrators I’ve tested that reach a strength I consider “extreme” on high.
The Ultra Bullet’s flexible core makes it especially comfortable solo and keeps it easily in contact with my clit during partnered sex. The rounded tip comfortably spreads out the firm pressure I enjoy applying. And while I don’t love one-button control systems to cycle through intensity levels, the FemmeFunn Ultra Bullet is more user-friendly than other single-button bullets. When you turn the bullet on, it conveniently remembers your previous setting. Or a single click of the button will return you to the lowest setting for a warmup.
The only people I don’t recommend the FemmeFunn Ultra Bullet to are those who prefer mostly rumbly vibrations and those who are easily overstimulated. If this is you, you may consider the We-Vibe Tango X, which has rumbly vibrations and provides softer warmup settings. If you enjoy some buzziness and intensity, the Ultra Bullet is excellent.
The Maude Drop is a mini vibrator that’s much broader than typical bullets or other small vibrators. It’s designed to feel more like a wand vibrator while maintaining a compact size. It’s basically the head of a wand vibrator without a handle.
Unfortunately, without a handle, as most wand vibrators and other mini vibrators have (including the Maude Vibe), the Maude Drop is fairly uncomfortable. You feel the vibrations substantially in your hand, and it becomes distracting quickly. It’s also tricky to leverage and maneuver.
The vibrations themselves are powerful but intensely buzzy. Most people prefer rumbliness, but others will enjoy these buzzy vibrations.
Regardless of vibration preferences, the discomfort is a dealbreaker for me. I think most people who prefer broad stimulation like the Maude Drop provides will benefit from choosing a different vibrator.
For better broad stimulation, consider the We-Vibe Touch X mini vibrator. Or a wand vibrator like the Magic Wand Mini.
If you like intense, buzzy vibrations like the Maude Drop provides, the Maude Vibe is a better choice. This one offers focused stimulation, more like a bullet vibrator.

Vibrations: Power And Range
The FemmeFunn Ultra Bullet is one of the most powerful bullet vibrators I’ve tested. It has a good range for those who prefer mid-strength to extreme vibration power.
The lowest level starts at a 4.5 out of 10 vibration strength. This power is effective yet gentle enough that it doesn’t feel overstimulating. It’s a versatile mid-strength setting I can comfortably enjoy as a warmup. Or I can make it feel more intense by adjusting my pressure. Many high-powered bullet vibrators like this do not have a soft enough starting level, so I appreciate this about the FemmeFunn Ultra Bullet.
If you need especially gentle warmup levels, consider the BMS Swan Maximum or Pillow Talk Racy. But most people will find the Ultra Bullet’s starting level comfortable.
The second power level hits an 8 out of 10 vibration strength, which is quite a jump – nearly twice as strong. But after I spend some time warming up on that first power level, I’m ready for the intense second setting.
The FemmeFunn Ultra Bullet’s final intensity level reaches 9 out of 10 vibration strength, which I consider extreme. Only a couple bullets, like the BMS Swan Maximum, reach a more intense strength, but few people will want more power. I rarely even use the FemmeFunn Ultra Bullet’s top setting (I typically finish on the second level), but power queens will love it.
The Maude Drop has a great top vibration strength but a mediocre power range. The lowest setting is a 4.75 out of 10 vibration strength, so it begins with moderate power. This may be too much for those who need gentle warmup levels, but it will be fine for those who are not extra sensitive.
The top strength is an 8 out of 10, which is above average for a mini vibrator and is more than enough power for me. There are only 3 intensity levels, so the jumps between strengths are not gradual. Some people will find the steps jarring.
If you want comparable strength on high power but also need gentle warmup levels, consider the Lovense Ambi. If you enjoy intensity and do not need gradual steps, the Maude Drop is good.
Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)
We rate vibrations that are rumbly higher than those that are buzzy because it’s what most people prefer. However, others prefer buzzy vibrations, so consider what you enjoy!
The FemmeFunn Ultra Bullet only has passable rumbliness because just the first power setting is in the rumbly range. The two higher powers are buzzy. I personally enjoy moderately buzzy vibrations – especially in a bullet vibrator. So I love the FemmeFunn Ultra Bullet. It’s all based on your personal preference.
Powerful, buzzy vibrations tend to feel especially intense. So, if you’re unsure whether you prefer rumbly or buzzy but know that you like intensity, this could be the perfect choice!
If you enjoy rumbly vibrations more, you’ll prefer the We-Vibe Tango X, though it is a bit more expensive. If the cheaper original We-Vibe Tango is available, snatch that up because it’s no longer in production but is the most affordable bullet with powerful, rumbly vibrations.
The Maude Drop is for those who want intense buzzy vibrations. Even its lowest setting is moderately buzzy. And the top two levels are extremely buzzy.
If you don’t know whether you prefer rumbly or buzzy vibrations, I’d recommend a more rumbly option since that’s what most people like. But some (though fewer) people prefer buzziness. And the Maude Drop will satisfy those who like the combination of extreme buzziness and high intensity.
Rumble lovers should consider other options. The Pillow Talk Racy is the most rumbly mini vibrator in this price range. Or, if you’re considering the Maude Drop for its wide shape, try a mini wand like the Magic Wand Mini, one of my favorites. Or the Orion Your New Favorite Wand (now tricky to find) if you need to stick to a tighter budget.
Stimulation Precision
Whether you enjoy pinpoint or broad stimulation is entirely a personal preference.
The FemmeFunn Ultra Bullet is between broad and focused stimulation. Its tip is nearly an inch wide, which is broader than most bullets with lipstick-shaped or tapered tips (like the We-Vibe Tango X or Nasstoys Intense Travel Vibe Mini). However, it’s more focused than palm vibrators like the We-Vibe Touch X or Dame Pom.
The FemmeFunn Ultra Bullet also has a rounded tip, making it feel slightly broader than a typical bullet. This is useful and comfortable if you prefer firm pressure because it’s less pokey than pointed tips. You can also use the side of the bullet to disperse the vibrations a bit.
Whether you enjoy broad stimulation that encompasses your whole vulva or precise stimulation that remains focused on a particular spot is a personal preference.
The Maude Drop provides very broad stimulation. It is an egg-shaped mini-vibrator, so you can’t limit pressure to a small area. Even the tapered tip feels wider than most mini vibrators.
Pressing any section of this toy against you will stimulate most of your vulva. In this way, it acts more like a wand vibrator than a bullet! It’s great for those who enjoy diffuse stimulation that affects the entire area.
Comfort & Ease of Use
The FemmeFunn Ultra Bullet is very comfortable and fairly easy to adjust the settings. The flexible core makes the pressure against your body feel plush despite its firm tip. And even though the form is not rigid, it’s easy to slide a finger near the tip to apply more pressure.
If you use your fingers near the motor, the vibrations travel into your fingers, but it’s not distracting unless you’re particularly sensitive to this. The Ultra Bullet’s comfortable width and above-average length make it easy to grip and maneuver wherever you want.
The FemmeFunn Ultra Bullet uses one button to cycle through the 3 intensity levels and all 17 vibration patterns. I prefer toys with separate controls to move forward and backward through settings. But the Ultra Bullet’s one-button system is much more user-friendly than most one-button bullet vibrators. Here’s why:
The FemmeFunn Ultra Bullet has a memory system. This means if you turn the toy off after using a pulsing pattern, it will start again on that pulsing pattern when you turn it back on. That way, you don’t have to tap the button 10+ times to return to your favorite setting.
But it also makes it easy to return to the softest steady vibration. After turning the toy on and automatically returning to the most recently used setting, the next button click will bring you back to the lowest power level.
This makes it easy to return to my warmup intensity when necessary. Then, I can work my way back up. So it’s set up with the natural rhythm your body wants to take and saves you from another slew of taps to get back around to the start again.
It’s still not as convenient as bullets with separate buttons to change power and move through patterns, like the We-Vibe Tango X. But the FemmeFunn Ultra Bullet’s unique system makes it much better than other one-button cycling bullets I’ve tried.
Compared to my other bullets and mini vibrators, the Maude Drop is difficult to use and uncomfortable.
Unlike most mini, bullet, or wand vibrators, the Maude Drop has no “handle.” So you hold the Drop directly where the motor is located. As a result, I feel the vibrations substantially in my hand. It’s tolerable on the lowest setting but very distracting on the top two power levels.
The handleless egg shape makes it difficult to leverage the toy for pressure – you must use your whole hand and arm to press. For those who typically just rest the vibrator against you, this won’t matter too much. But those who like to apply pressure will want a toy with a handle.
The Maude Drop uses a single-button control system to cycle through the 3 intensity levels. Since there are only 3 settings, cycling through them takes little time, so having just one button is not an issue. But the button is difficult to press, and I often need two hands.
If you want a broad mini vibrator like the Maude Drop, the We-Vibe Touch X is much more comfortable and easy to use. Or, if you are okay with a larger toy, consider a quality, affordable wand vibrator like the Magic Wand Mini.
Use During Sex
The FemmeFunn Ultra Bullet is fantastic during sex. It’s a great size to leverage without bumping into your partner and fits easily into tight spaces.
The flexible form is beneficial when there’s a lot of movement because it moves along with your body instead of bumping against your pubic bone. So it stays comfortably in contact with your clit, providing excellent stimulation.
The Maude Drop is a poor toy during sex. I can only get good stimulation from it in the spooning position or others where I’m not facing my partner. And I get tired quickly from pressing with my whole arm since it can’t be leveraged easily.
When using the Maude Drop in missionary position, it’s too bulky to fit both the toy and my hand between our bodies, so I don’t feel any impactful vibes. Slimmer mini vibrators like the We-Vibe Touch X (one of my favorites) or Dame Pom have a better shape to use during sex in all positions. Or the Je Joue Amour is another broad option that’s more affordable.
Noise
The FemmeFunn Ultra Bullet is reasonably quiet. The decibel measurements we recorded for the FemmeFunn Ultra Bullet were softer than average.
We also test whether someone on the other side of a closed bedroom door can hear the vibrator. My partner could not hear the FemmeFunn Ultra Bullet on low or medium strength. On its highest setting, my partner thought he could barely hear it. But this was his note: “I had to listen very closely and wait for any sounds outside to become extremely quiet. Even then, I could just barely make it out occasionally. I doubt anyone would actually hear it in normal use.”
Considering it’s one of the most powerful bullet vibrators I’ve tested, the Ultra Bullet’s noise performance is pretty good. And to be safe, you can turn on a box fan or play music in the bedroom to ensure no one will hear it.
I’m also pretty sensitive to noise, and the Ultra Bullet’s sound doesn’t bother me at all. So, it’s a safe option if you’re distracted by sound.
While the Maude Drop is not one of my quietest mini vibrators, it’s reasonably discreet.
I can use the first two power levels in my bedroom without my partner noticing from the other side of the door. At its highest power level, my partner could hear it during our testing. However, he noted that he had to wait for noise outside our house to get especially quiet to hear the Maude Drop – and he doubted anyone would notice it during ordinary use.
Turning on a box fan or playing music in the bedroom completely masked the Maude Drop’s noise on its highest power. So if you need to be discrete, it’s definitely doable with some creativity.
Consider the We-Vibe Touch X or Pillow Talk Racy if you prioritize quiet vibrations.
Battery Life
The FemmeFunn Ultra Bullet is rechargeable and lasted 85 minutes, constantly vibrating on high power during our testing. This is great for a bullet of this immense strength. I frequently forget to charge between uses, and it still has plenty of remaining battery.
The Maude Drop is rechargeable and has an acceptable battery life, lasting 75 minutes on high power. At this level, you’ll definitely have enough time, but you’ll want to charge between uses.
Build Quality
This bullet has a great build quality. The body-safe silicone is smooth yet has a slight, comfortable grippiness to it that I enjoy. The ABS plastic frame beneath the silicone feels solid. The flexible areas feel a little squeaky but seem sturdy, and I’m not afraid they’ll break when I’m applying pressure.
The Maude Drop has a decent build quality. It’s covered in a comfortable, smooth silicone. The button feels a little cheap because it has some responsiveness issues and takes firm pressure to click. But the toy itself seems solid and durable.
Cleaning
This FemmeFunn Ultra Bullet is IPX7 waterproof. This means you can completely submerge it, making it easy to clean. Just wash in the sink with soap and warm water.
The Maude Drop is easy to clean by running it under the sink. It’s IPX6 splashproof, so you can safely scrub it under running water, but you should not completely submerge it.
