FemmeFunn Ultra Bullet vs Pillow Talk Flirty 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 Pillow Talk Flirty is one of the most affordable bullet vibrators. It has a gentle to mid-strength power range with mostly neutral to buzzy vibrations. It’s quiet, easy to use, and water-resistant for easy cleaning. But the battery only lasts about 40 minutes on high power, so you’ll have to charge it frequently.
If you prefer more power and rumbliness, consider the Pillow Talk Racy for about $20 more. Or the Blush Limited Addiction is a more powerful alternative in the Flirty’s price range, but this one lacks any gentle warmup settings. The Pillow Talk Flirty is a great budget-friendly bullet vibrator if you prefer mild to moderate vibrations and find high intensity overwhelming.

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 Pillow Talk Flirty has gentle to mid-level power. It’s excellent for those who prefer milder vibrations or get overstimulated by intense power.
To move through its power range, you press and hold the button to increase power gradually. As a result, steps between intensity levels are subtle and comfortable. And the Flirty covers the mild to moderate power range very well.
The lowest power starts at 1.5 out of 10 vibration strength, but the highest only reaches 5 out of 10. When I use the Pillow Talk Flirty, I can orgasm from it, but it takes some effort. So it’s not one I reach for often, but it can be great for those overstimulated by intense power.
If you prefer more power, consider the Blush Limited Addiction in this price range. It’s stronger but lacks gentle levels. Or, if you want to keep those low powers but add some strength, try the slightly more expensive Pillow Talk Racy.
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.
We rate rumbly vibrators higher than buzzy ones because it’s what most people want. But preferences vary, so consider what you enjoy.
The Pillow Talk Flirty has below-average rumbliness. Its softest power levels are in the rumbly range, but most people will use these gentle levels only briefly while warming up. Its stronger power levels range from neutral-feeling to moderately buzzy.
It can be enjoyable if you prefer buzzy vibrations. But I find the mild power paired with the buzzy frequency packs little impact. So it’s best if you like light stimulation. I enjoy neutral or moderately buzzy vibrations, but typically when paired with more strength than the Flirty has.
You’ll need to increase your budget slightly if you prefer rumbly vibrations. The Pillow Talk Racy is the most affordable bullet with great rumbliness. Or you could go with a mini wand like the BMS Swan Era, which is even more rumbly than the Racy, and not much pricier.
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.
The Pillow Talk Flirty provides a medium amount of precision for a bullet. The tip is slightly bulbous, spreading out the vibrations a bit and making it comfortable to press firmly against my body.
It’s less precise than tapered and lipstick-shaped bullet vibrators. But it’s more focused than broad mini vibrators like the Dame Pom or We-Vibe Touch X. The amount of precision you enjoy is entirely a personal preference.
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.
The Pillow Talk Flirty is a very comfortable bullet that’s easy to use. It’s relatively long for a bullet vibrator (4.3 inches), making it very comfortable to grip, leverage, and apply pressure. The vibrations don’t travel into my hand much, so the grip is fantastic. And the button to adjust power is easily within my reach without needing to change my hold on the bullet.
The control system takes some getting used to, but is straightforward once you learn it. Hold the Flirty’s button, and the bullet will gradually increase power. Once it reaches your desired strength, you release the button. To move back down, you’ll need to double-click the button to begin again at the gentlest setting.
I prefer vibrators with two buttons to increase and decrease power, but I like that the Flirty’s system inherently provides gradual, subtle steps between intensity levels.
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 Pillow Talk Flirty is easy to use during sex. It’s best in a spooning position or others where you’re facing away from your partner. The relatively slender size is great for fitting into tight spots. And since it has a slight flex, it’s very comfortable and able to keep great contact, even with a bit of jostling around. The slight flexibility makes it a bit more difficult to apply pressure during sex, but still easier than most bullets since it’s longer.
Positions where you’re facing your partner are a little trickier because you have to angle the toy so the end of it doesn’t hit your partner’s chest. But since it’s not a very long toy, it’s very doable. It just takes some intentionality.
While the Pillow Talk Flirty is good during sex, I have even better success with the Pillow Talk Racy because the tip of the toy curves inward. This helps to maintain good contact without having to angle the bullet in a way that contacts my partner’s chest.
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.
The Pillow Talk Flirty is one of my quietest bullet vibrators! While recording its decibel readings with our Sound Level Meter, it was quieter than the room’s ambient sound. When I’m using it in our bedroom, my partner cannot hear it from the other side of the closed door on any power levels. So it’s safe to use if you live with others.
The discreet noise is no surprise since it’s only mid-powered. If you want something quiet but prefer stronger bullet vibrators, consider the Pillow Talk Racy.
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 Flirty’s battery life is short compared to most bullets, especially when you consider its low power range. You’ll definitely want to make sure to charge it fully between each use.
If you’re the type to forget to charge it (like me), you’ll want to pick something with a longer battery life. The Je Joue Classic is a great option. And even though the Blush Limited Addiction’s battery life isn’t much higher, you can extend it even further if you use some low or middle power levels.
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 Pillow Talk Flirty has an excellent build quality, especially for an inexpensive bullet vibrator. The silicone feels smooth, but grippy and is luxurious. And the slight flexibility makes it comfortable, but it still feels sturdy. I’m not concerned about breaking it with too much pressure.
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 Pillow Talk Flirty is IPX6 water-resistant, which makes it very easy to clean. IPX6 products can resist “high-pressure, heavy sprays of water” so you can wash it under a faucet without worrying about damaging the toy. Just clean with soap and water.
