The Je Joue Amour has a good power range that spans the soft to moderately intense part of the spectrum. It’s best for those who don’t need overwhelming vibration power.

The lowest setting is a just 0.15 out of 10 vibration strength – this is much gentler than most of my bullets begin. It’s an excellent starting strength if you are easily overstimulated or enjoy a prolonged buildup. With 5 intensity levels, steps between settings are also comfortably small.

The vibration power maxes out at 5.4 out of 10 strength. This is plenty of power for me to orgasm with – though it does take more time than stronger bullets. If you like intensity, you can make the Amour’s stimulation feel more impactful by using the edge of the fluttering tip to flick back and forth directly on your clitoris.

It’s a different stimulation than ordinary vibrations – but it feels unique and intense. But a different bullet may suit you better if you specifically want powerful vibrations.

If you want more power (while maintaining the similar rumbliness that Je Joue is known for), the standard Je Joue Classic Bullet and broader We-Vibe Touch X are better choices. These both have gentle warm-up levels like the Amour but have about 44% more power on high.

The BMS Swan Maximum Bullet has the strongest top power of all my bullet vibrators, reaching an 11 out of 10 strength. You read that right—an 11. The Swan Maximum was released after my first round of bullet vibrator testing, but it beat out my previous most powerful bullets, the Blush Limited Addiction and Doxy Bullet, which I had rated 10!

The BMS Swan Maximum’s 11/10 power is stronger than I could ever need. In fact, without the silicone grip that comes with the bullet, its top setting is too strong to hold in my hand!

Thankfully, it also has the widest power range of my bullets (another benefit over the Blush Limited Addiction and Doxy Bullet), starting at just a 2.5 out of 10 vibration strength. So, it has plenty of milder settings if you prefer gentle to moderate stimulation.

The press-and-hold buttons also let you gradually increase and decrease intensity in tiny steps. With such a comprehensive power range, most people will find some intensity levels they enjoy.

We rate bullets with rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because most prefer this.

The Je Joue Amour has excellent rumbliness (Je Joue is known for having rumbly motors). All 5 power levels are in the rumbly range, and the first three settings are extremely rumbly. The Amour is more rumbly than the Je Joue Classic Bullet and Je Joue Rabbit Bullet I’ve tested.

It’s an excellent option if you enjoy rumbly vibrations with moderate intensity. If you want similarly excellent rumbliness with more strength, consider the more powerful We-Vibe Tango X (rumbly and focused) or We-Vibe Touch X (rumbly and broad).

The BMS Swan Maximum’s vibrations are primarily buzzy. The lowest power levels are moderately rumbly, which is a nice, gentle intro. But by the time you reach settings with moderate strength, the vibrations feel neutral. And they quickly become buzzy as you increase the intensity higher.

Whether this is good or bad depends on your preferences. Some people prefer buzzy vibrations, whereas others want rumbly (low-frequency) vibes.

Since I prefer moderate intensity, I only need to use the first half of the Swan Maximum’s power levels – so I typically use those rumbly and neutral vibes. But if you’re interested in those extremely intense top settings, you have to love buzzy vibrations.

However, none of my rumbly bullet vibrators come close to the Swan Maximum’s vibration power. The We-Vibe Tango X is my strongest rumbly bullet, reaching a top strength of 7.75.

When it comes to bullet vibrators, you generally need to choose between more power or more rumbliness. If strong, rumbly vibrations are your priority, a wand vibrator like the Lovense Domi 2 or BMS Swan Era Wand is better. Because wand vibrators’ motors are heavier, they’re often both rumbly and strong.

Bullet vibrators are known for providing focused stimulation. But with several ways to use the Je Joue Amour, you can vary the precision from focused to moderate to broad.

By pressing the flexible, heart-shaped silicone flat to your vulva, the stimulation is distributed over a broad area. The flexible silicone is 2.61 inches from edge to edge, wider than many full-sized wand vibrators like the Magic Wand Rechargeable. Though the stimulation is very different – much lighter and more tickly (in a good way).

Alternatively, you can use the thin edge of the flutter tip for very focused, precise clit stimulation – the silicone is just ~1/16th of an inch thick.

When using the Je Joue Amour like a traditional bullet vibrator (by pressing the core to your body), the precision is moderate – the core is about an inch thick.

It’s one of my most versatile bullet vibrators!

Whether you prefer broad or focused stimulation is up to your personal preference.

The BMS Swan Maximum Bullet provides a versatile experience because you can use the thin lipstick tip (just 0.75 inches wide) for very precise contact. But you can also press the side of the bullet to your body to cover more area for those who prefer to spread the stimulation out more.

The Je Joue Amour is incredibly comfortable and easy to use.

The handle is a great length and easy to grip, and the vibrations hardly travel into my hand.

Because the last inch or so of this bullet is a flexible flutter tip, firm pressure feels more diffuse than it does with traditional bullets like the We-Vibe Tango X. But you can still easily leverage the toy for that broader, firm pressure.

The last half-inch of the traditional core is also a wonderfully plush silicone, which many people will find more comfy!

The controls are excellent. The Je Joue Amour has separate buttons to increase and decrease power, and a third button rotates through the 6 vibration patterns (7 if you count the “constant” pattern). You can quickly and easily get to your preferred strength and pattern. Many bullet vibrators have a single button, making you cycle through all the intensity levels and patterns together. You can also control the strength of each vibration pattern!

It seems small, but out of all my Je Joue bullets, the buttons on the Amour feel the best and are the easiest to click.

The BMS Swan Maximum Bullet is very easy to use, but it has some uncomfortable aspects.

It has great controls with two press-and-hold buttons that let you increase and decrease power continuously – there are no jumps between settings. Simply hold the increase or decrease power button, and the Swan Maximum will gradually change power. This control system makes finding the exact power level you need easy.

Some other bullet vibrators, like the Pillow Talk Racy and Flirty, have a similar continuous system. But these bullets have just one button, so you can only increase power gradually. To decrease power, you have to turn them off and on again to start over. So, the BMS Swan Maximum’s second button is helpful.

I personally find the Swan Maximum’s buttons take firm pressure to hold down, which is tiring if you change power often. The Pillow Talk Racy’s button is easier to press. And if you don’t need super tiny power adjustments, ordinary clickable buttons like those of the Blush Limited Addiction are fine. But the Swan’s two press-and-hold buttons have their benefits in finding your ideal strength.

The BMS Swan is only adequately comfortable. The bullet is shorter than I prefer, and the base tapers inward, forcing you to grip it toward the middle of the bullet. This makes the usable length even shorter, causes my fingers to feel cramped in a tight space, and doesn’t provide as much leverage as longer bullets.

The Swan Maximum’s vibrations travel into my hand, too. They’re comfortable at low to medium power levels, but they’re distracting at the top half of the settings. The silicone Comfy Cuff that comes with it is a must if you plan to use the higher powers—it helps dampen the vibrations in your fingers but doesn’t completely eliminate them.

The Blush Limited Addiction is another extremely powerful bullet with less (but not zero) vibrations in your hand. With very powerful bullet vibrators, your fingers are close to the motor since bullets are tiny. So, if you’re particularly sensitive to vibrations in your fingers, try a mid-sized toy like the Lovense Hyphy or a small wand vibrator like the Lovense Domi 2.

The Je Joue Amour is great during sex because of the variety you can enjoy. You can achieve moderate pressure if you press the firm core of the bullet against your body. Or you can gently touch the fluttering flap against a wide area for broad coverage.

Since the flaps are so flexible, they easily contour to you and your partner’s bodies.

The handle is also an excellent length to hold the bullet in place without taking up too much room or bumping into your partner’s body.

The BMS Swan Maximum is excellent to use during sex. Its small size and tapered tip make it easy to fit into tight spaces. And since it can reach very high powers, it provides plenty of stimulation.

If you’re not using the silicone cuff to dampen the vibrations that travel into your hand, you can use it to attach the bullet to your fingers. That way, you can maneuver and press the bullet to your body without gripping it. While it’s not completely hands-free, like some couples vibrators, it’s minimal effort.

This can make it easier to hold during sex. Though, I can only tolerate using it this way on the low to medium levels (which have plenty of strength for me). If I use the Swan Maximum’s highest levels, I need to use the Comfy Cuff to dampen the vibrations instead.

The Je Joue Amour is exceptionally quiet. You can use every power level without someone hearing it behind a closed bedroom door. So you can feel safe using it even if you live with housemates.

If you want an even stronger mini vibrator that’s just as quiet, consider the We-Vibe Touch X.

The BMS Swan Maximum Bullet has good noise levels, considering its enormous power.

When I used it in the bedroom, my partner could only hear it on the highest settings from the other side of the bedroom door. We also found that he could only hear the Swan Maximum when the bullet accidentally brushed up against the comforter on my bed, which made a louder sound. When I kept the vibrator pressed to my body, he couldn’t hear it on the highest setting.

If you’re concerned about noise, stick to the medium power levels, which are still quite powerful. You can also turn on music or a fan to mask the noise.

The Je Joue Amour’s battery life is passable. It lasted 65 minutes on high during our test. I’m happy with this amount and can enjoy a fun time or two on a single charge.

If you care a lot about a long battery life, consider the We-Vibe Tango X, which is a bit stronger, more rumbly, and lasted 105 minutes.

The BMS Swan Maximum Bullet has an amazing battery life. After charging it fully, I ran it on its highest power until it died – 139 minutes later. It lasted longer than any of the other bullets I’ve tested so far.

This was especially surprising since extremely powerful vibrators often die faster (since they use more power). All the bullet and mini vibrators that come close to the Swan Maximum’s battery life are substantially weaker.

The Je Joue Amour’s quality feels superb. Its moderate weight makes it feel sturdy and durable. The buttons have a nice feel. The plushness of the silicone as the firm core transitions into the flutter tip feels luxurious.

The flutter tip’s silicone is thin and could be susceptible to tearing, but I’ve not had any problems with it so far.

The BMS Swan Maximum Bullet has a good build quality but is not luxurious. The ABS Plastic has a nice, metallic look and feels well-made, but it shows scratches easily. It seems durable but feels lighter than I expected due to the metallic look. Bullet vibrators actually made of metal, like the Le Wand Grand Bullet, are heavier and feel more solid.

The silicone buttons have a nice feel, and the detachable silicone grip is very plush. I wish the grip was wider to cover more surface area since the vibrations travel easily into my fingers, but it still does the trick well enough.

The Je Joue Amour is very easy to clean because it’s 100% waterproof. You can scrub this toy while fully submerged to ensure you clean every inch.

The BMS Swan Maximum Bullet is IPX7 waterproof, so it’s very easy to clean. You can fully submerge it while scrubbing or use it in the bathtub.
