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 Vibe has great strength and decent range. It’s best if you prefer moderate to intense vibrations and don’t need many gentle settings. It starts at a 5 out of 10 on the lowest level and reaches 8 out of 10 on the highest. With 3 power levels, jumps between settings aren’t staggering, but they’re not gradual either.

With how buzzy the vibrations are, even the first power level feels pretty intense and can bring me to orgasm, so I often don’t go up to the second power. I enjoy the Maude Vibe, but since there are no truly gentle levels, I’ll sometimes use another vibrator to warm up.

If you enjoy moderate to intense power but need gentler levels when warming up, you could also consider the Lovense Ambi or BMS Swan Maximum Bullet. Each reaches at least the same intensity as the Maude Vibe, but they both have gentler settings too.

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).

We rate toys with rumbly vibrations higher than those with buzzy ones because it’s what most people prefer. But it’s a preference that varies from person to person, and I actually enjoy several neutral or moderately-buzzy bullet vibrators myself.

The Maude Vibe is primarily a buzzy bullet vibrator. Its first intensity level feels neutral (not quite buzzy yet), but its second feels moderately buzzy, and the third is extremely buzzy. I really enjoy the Maude Vibe’s first level and use it often. Though personally, I find its upper settings a bit too buzzy combined with their intense strength.

I think the Maude Vibe is a great option if you want an intense, buzzy bullet vibrator. Those who prefer rumbliness will want to consider the Je Joue Classic in a similar price range or the We-Vibe Tango X (my most rumbly bullet) if you have a larger 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!

The Maude Vibe provides a medium amount of precision compared to other bullets and mini vibrators. It’s definitely not broad like palm vibrators such as the Dame Pom or We-Vibe Touch X. But its rounded tip doesn’t come to a fine, precise point like tapered-tipped or lipstick-shaped bullets.

It’s reasonably versatile as you can use just the end for more focused stimulation or press its widened side against your vulva to cover more surface 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.

The Maude Vibe is reasonably comfortable and easy to use. It’s a great length to leverage for firm pressure, and its tapered shape helps it fit easily in tight spots. The vibes travel minimally into my hand, but I don’t find it distracting. Unless that’s an area you’re especially sensitive to, it won’t be a deal-breaker for most people.

It has a one-button control system to cycle through the 3 power levels. Since there are only a few levels and no vibration patterns, I don’t mind that you need to cycle through the settings to step back down in intensity. But I have noticed some responsiveness issues with the button. Sometimes I have to press it a couple of times before it works.

If you strongly prefer the ability to increase and decrease power with separate buttons, the Je Joue Classic and We-Vibe Tango X are great choices. These two also have the most similar power range to the Maude Vibe, but they are more rumbly.

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 Vibe is generally good to use during sex. It works best in positions where you’re not facing your partner (like Spooning or Doggystyle). It fits into tight spaces, and you can leverage it comfortably with just one hand. Its rounded tip and shape that widens toward the base also help it maintain excellent contact with my clit during movement.

The Maude Vibe is a little trickier in positions where you are facing your partner, like Missionary. Since the Maude Vibe is longer than some bullets, the handle can bump against your partner. But if you angle it differently, you can still achieve good clit stimulation without issue. I still generally enjoy it in all positions.

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 Maude Vibe is discreet. In our testing, it was inaudible on all power levels from behind a closed door. So it’s safe for those worried about roommates overhearing or just general discretion.

I also don’t find the sound annoying or distracting at all during solo or partnered play.

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 Vibe is rechargeable and lasts for just under an hour on high power. This is below average for a bullet, but will still be good enough for most people. Since I mostly use its lower power level, I can extend the runtime and get a couple uses in before charging.

If you care strongly about battery life a few of our bullets last over an hour and a half, including the We-Vibe Tango X and Nasstoys Intense Travel Vibe Mini.

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 Vibe has a decent build quality. It’s completely covered in a comfortable smooth silicone, which I love. And it has a slightly flexible tip with a little bit of squish to it. The feel and unique shape are luxurious.

My only complaint is the button, which you must press fairly hard, and sometimes it takes a couple of tries to get it turned on because it has some responsiveness issues. It’s something you get used to if you’re using it often, but could be frustrating to some.

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 Vibe is very easy to clean. It has an IPX6 water-resistance rating which means it can safely resist heavy jet-streams of water. So you can safely clean it with soap and water under a running faucet. But you should not completely submerge it.
