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 Fun Factory Laya III has a fantastic, wide power range, beginning softly and finishing intensely.

The first of 7 settings is a 1 out of 10 vibration strength, so those worried about overstimulation have gentle levels to enjoy. The first couple of settings feel especially “tappy,” which is a stimulating warmup without feeling overwhelming at all.

Power lovers will also be happy with the substantial top strength of 7.75. While there are a few more powerful bullet and mini vibrators, like the BMS Swan Maximum, the Laya has plenty of strength for me and most people. I orgasm on any preset power level between 4 and 7 – I usually don’t need to use the top strength.

Steps between settings are also comfortably gradual. You can also press and hold the “+” and “-” buttons to make micro-adjustments to the strength. This means it’s easy to find your ideal intensity and keep the journey comfortable.

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 Fun Factory Laya III’s vibrations have excellent rumbliness and a rich, layered feel. The first several settings feel very rumbly, and the top two settings are neutral.

But there’s more to the Laya’s story than most mini vibrators – the Laya’s vibrations also have a unique “layering effect,” which feels like typical vibrations plus a distinct “tapping” sensation underneath them. Listen to it in the video below.

To acheive this tapping effect, the motor runs at your chosen speed (the frequencies shown in our graph above), just like any other vibrator. But the Laya’s internal software briefly cuts power to the motor for mere milliseconds causing the motor to momentarily decelerate. Then it resumes power so the motor quickly accelerates back to its main operating frequency.

This brief slowdown-speedup cycle happens within milliseconds and sounds like a thump-thump-thump tapping. And it feels like deeper, more rumbly vibrations than the main frequency (because it’s actually decelerating briefly through lower frequencies).

All this is happening so fast, many times each second, that it feels like you’re always experiencing both the main vibration frequency and a more rumbly vibration frequency at the same time.

I love this innovation because I think both rumbly and neutral vibrations have benefits. Rumbly vibrations travel deeper and stimulate more nerves beneath the surface. But neutral (and buzzy) vibrations provide a surface-level kick that I also enjoy.

On the Fun Factory Laya III’s top settings I get the benefit of both types of vibrations – the concentrated, surface-level kick from the neutral vibes and the deeper stimulation from the rumbly tapping effect. It’s not an out-of-this-world difference, but I think it improves upon ordinary vibrations. And I enjoy this feeling more than normal rumbly vibes.

I’ve noticed a similar tapping effect in a few other rumbly mini-vibrators, like the We-Vibe Touch X and Je Joue Amour, but only on their lowest levels (which are already rumbly). But the Laya III keeps this deep, tapping sensation through all its power levels, even up to the top strength. So it’s the only one I’ve tried that feels like it combines neutral and rumbly vibes.

If you prefer only rumbly vibrations, you could stick to the lower power levels of the Laya III, which have a rumbly main frequency and a deeper tapping. Or go with the purely rumbly We-Vibe Tango X.

But the Fun Factory Laya III is right in my sweet spot. My favorite vibrations have a neutral feel, with a little overlap into the moderate levels of rumbly and buzzy. The Laya III fits really well with this preference.

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!

The Fun Factory Laya III provides lovely broad stimulation when using its entire length to hug your vulva. Or you can get a medium amount of precision when holding it like an ordinary vibrator, pressing the tip to your clit.

So this lay-on vibrator is best for people who prefer moderate to broad precision.

I wanted to clarify this because the Fun Factory Laya is marketed as also offering “pinpoint” stimulation using the ridges. But while the ridges provide an enjoyable texture, they are too small and un-pronounced to provide focused stimulation, like a typical bullet vibrator does. Your body cannot feel each ridge on its own.

If you prefer something that offers both broad and focused stimulation, consider the We-Vibe Touch X—you can use the flatter surface for broad stimulation or the slim tapered tip for focused stimulation.

But for those who enjoy broad coverage, the Laya is excellent! It blankets the whole vulva for direct but comfortably diffuse stimulation.

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 Fun Factory Laya III is very comfortable and easy to use.

Even though there’s not an obvious handle, there are several convenient and comfortable ways to hold the Laya III. It takes a little getting used to if you’re accustomed to bullet vibrators because it’s girthier and curved, but I’ve found this makes it more versatile. You can leverage it easily with your fingers or simply rest your palm over it and lightly press it to your vulva.

When lying on top of the Laya, it’s very comfortable if you’re only pressing your body lightly against it. It curves along your body and spreads the vibrations over the whole area, which keeps the direct contact comfortable.

If you want to press your hips into it, you may have to take your time to find a comfortable angle to lay the vibrator –  the Laya’s very firm, so in some positions, it can be uncomfortable to press too hard into it. If I want to press harder into the Laya, I’ve found using blankets or a pillow beneath the Laya to adjust its angle makes it more comfortable and provides some cushioning. Or you can slip your hand under your body to hold the Laya tilted at the angle you like.

When using the Laya as an ordinary handheld vibrator, you can feel the vibrations in your hand—but that’s mostly when you’re holding it in the air. I don’t feel them much once I press the Fun Factory Laya to my body, and I don’t find them distracting at all, even on high power.

The curved shape makes it easy to apply excellent pressure whether you’re gripping it or using it hands-free by pressing your hips down into it. Because it’s very firm (not plush like the We-Vibe Touch X or Magic Wand Micro), you may have to limit how much pressure you apply to keep it comfortable against your body. But with the powerful, layered vibrations, I don’t have to press hard to get excellent clit stimulation.

The buttons are positioned above the part of the Laya in contact with your clit, so pressing a button also pushes the Laya against you more firmly. If you don’t like that firm contact, you can simply move the toy away from your body briefly while you change the power.

The controls themselves are excellent. The “+” and “-” buttons allow you to tap back and forth through the 7 power levels and 3 patterns. You don’t need to cycle through power levels to return to a previous setting, as many mini vibrators require you to do. You can also press and hold the Laya’s buttons to make even more gradual adjustments.

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 Fun Factory Laya III is one of my favorite mini vibrators to use during sex.

First, you can use it as a lay-on vibrator during sex for hands-free clit stimulation (discussed in depth below). If you don’t want to hold the Laya, you can lie face down with the vibrator sandwiched between your vulva and the bed (or a pillow) while your partner penetrates from behind. This is one of the main reasons I love the Laya III and use it so much!

If you don’t want to limit yourself to the position I mentioned above, it’s also great when you hold the Fun Factory Laya and use it like a normal handheld vibrator.

In sex positions with a lot of space to maneuver, like Spooning, there are many comfortable ways to use the Laya. You can rest your palm over the toy to press its contoured shape comfortably along your body. Or you can hold the end and angle it against you for firmer pressure. It’s very comfortable and keeps great contact with my clit, even during a lot of movement.

It’s also excellent in Missionary or other positions facing your partner. The curved design helps it fit seamlessly between your bodies, even when space is limited in these face-to-face positions. The curved shape also makes leveraging the Laya to apply pressure during sex easy. Occasionally, if my partner’s thrusting fast or his body bumps into my hand, the Laya can press mildly uncomfortably into my clit since it’s so firm. But this is rare and I haven’t found it to be a major issue.

The layered, rumbly vibrations also travel deep into my body which is very stimulating during sex.

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 Fun Factory Laya III’s noise levels are sub-par. The vibrations are often very quiet, only reaching 42.1 dB on high power. But when you hold the Laya in certain ways, it makes a louder rattling sound.

The rattling mostly happens when I’m holding the toy in the open air instead of pressed against my body. So when you move the Laya off your body to adjust its position, it’s likely to make this louder noise.

When we tested whether my partner could hear the Laya behind our closed bedroom door, he began hearing the rattling sound when I turned the Laya to power level 4 and above. But when I kept the Laya pressed to my body to prevent the rattling, he could not hear the vibrations on any power level or setting.

When I turned on a low-power box fan in the bedroom to mask the Laya’s noise, my partner said he could still barely hear the Laya rattling on its top setting – but only since he was standing right at the door trying to listen for it. He didn’t think anyone would notice it in a normal circumstance.

Playing music in the bedroom successfully masked the sound of the rattle.
Since I love everything else about this toy and we live alone, the noise issue doesn’t bother me, so I still use the Laya often. But if you have housemates, the We-Vibe Touch X is much quieter.

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 Fun Factory Laya III is rechargeable and has a great battery life, lasting 103 minutes on its highest power in our test. This is longer than most of my bullet and mini vibrators, even than stronger ones. So it’s an excellent choice if you want a mini-vibrator with a long battery life.

You charge it with the included magnetic USB charging cable. One downside is that it takes 6-7 hours to fully charge, whereas most take just 1-2 hours. So you’ll want to plan ahead to keep the Laya charged. I typically charge it after every use, just in case.

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 Fun Factory Laya III has a fantastic build quality (except for the rattling sound discussed above). The body-safe silicone feels very luxurious, and the ridges provide a grippy texture I really like. It has a nice weight, which feels high-quality in the hand. I also like the feel of the button click. The buttons are raised, so you can feel them without looking. The Laya feels solid and not easily breakable, with no bendy parts at risk of overstress.

I also love the color I got—“Sage Green,” a muted, more neutral-feeling color that is rare in the hot pink world of sex toys.

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.

Since the Fun Factory Laya III is IPX7 waterproof, it’s very easy to clean. You can fully submerge it while scrubbing with soap and water without worrying about damaging the toy. And you can also take it with you in the bath!
