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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.
