Je Joue Amour vs VeDO Bam Side-By-Side Comparison
Performance Ratings
Our Verdict
The Je Joue Amour is a great bullet vibrator if you want something unique and explorative. The Amour offers excellent variety – you can use it as a traditional vibrator, lay the flutter tip flat along your vulva for light, diffuse stimulation, or let the edge of the tip flutter on your clit for direct, focused stimulation.
When using the Amour as an ordinary bullet, the vibrations range from incredibly soft to mid-strength. It’s great for those who like moderate stimulation – though letting the tip flutter directly on your clit definitely heightens the intensity!
The vibrations are deep and rumbly, and the bullet feels luxurious with its smooth silicone and convenient controls. The flutter tip is unique, and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it! The Je Joue Amour is reasonably priced and worth trying if you want something a bit unique.
The VeDO Bam is a decent bullet vibrator, and I enjoy it. But some cheaper options perform better overall.
The VeDO Bam is one of the most powerful bullet vibrators I’ve tested, but it has no gentle or mid-intensity settings. And many people will need those warmup levels that it’s missing. The Blush Limited Addiction provides a broader power range and performs better overall than the VeDO Bam – at a lower price.
Besides its lack of gentler settings, the VeDO Bam performs reasonably well. It’s easy to leverage and maneuver, the medium-width tapered tip allows you to vary the surface area in contact for more precise or broader stimulation, and its silicone is smooth and comfy. But it doesn’t exceed the performance of the cheaper Blush bullet. So in this price range, I recommend it instead to most people.

Vibrations: Power And Range
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 VeDO Bam is a powerful bullet with no low or medium power levels. If you prefer intensity, it’s enjoyable! But its lowest of 3 settings is a 7.9 out of 10 for strength, so it can be jarring if you don’t start by warming up with a gentler bullet first.
It reaches a 9.5 out of 10 on high, one of the most powerful I’ve tested. However, the Bam’s power and range underperform compared to cheaper options. The Blush Limited Addiction begins softer (5 out of 10) than the VeDO Bam and finishes stronger (10 out of 10) at a cheaper price. On the other hand, if you prefer milder stimulation, try the Pillow Talk Flirty instead – a bullet with its power range focused around gentler settings.
Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)
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 rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because it’s what most people want. But this is a personal preference, so if you enjoy buzzy vibes, pay more attention to the frequency chart than the rating.
The VeDO Bam’s vibrations have a neutral feeling on its lowest two settings, and its highest setting is moderately buzzy. I personally enjoy the first two powers because I like neutral vibrations in a bullet. They provide a bit of zing while still traveling reasonably deep. But it would be nice if the VeDO Bam also had some rumbly low levels like the Blush Limited Addiction has.
You’ll need to increase your budget if you care a lot about having deep, rumbly vibrations. Most bullet vibrators in the VeDO Bam’s price range have decent, but not excellent, rumbliness. The Pillow Talk Racy is a bit more expensive, and two-thirds of its power range is rumbly.
Stimulation Precision
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!
You can get a mix of focused and broad stimulation from the VeDO Bam. It’s wider than many bullet vibrators, so you can get somewhat broad stimulation and pressure using the side of the bullet. But the tip has a slight taper, so you can use the end for more precise stimulation. As a result, it’s pretty versatile.
Comfort & Ease of Use
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 VeDO Bam is a comfortable and easy-to-use bullet vibrator. It’s a great length for leveraging, and since the structure is very rigid, you can get excellent pressure.
The VeDO Bam transfers some slight vibrations into your hand. But it will only bother people especially sensitive to this.
The button to control the vibration intensity and patterns is on the bottom. You have to adjust your grip slightly during use to press the button. You must also cycle through all powers and patterns to get to the one you want. It starts on the highest strength and cycles down to lower powers as you keep pressing. And since there are 3 power levels and 7 vibration patterns, there’s a lot to tap through.
I prefer bullets that let me power up or back down to find my ideal setting. That way, if I miss the one I want, I don’t have to cycle back through everything again. The Blush Limited Addiction is a budget-friendly option with a multi-button system.
Use During Sex
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 VeDO Bam is a great size and shape for getting into tight spaces and leveraging easily during sex.
The vibrations travel into the handle a little bit, which does not bother me much during solo use but can be distracting during sex for some. It’s all about how I hold the bullet, and I find it less distracting in the spooning position than in missionary.
I don’t notice handle vibrations as much with the Blush Limited Addiction, Pillow Talk Flirty, or Pillow Talk Racy. The Racy even has a convenient inward curve, useful for leveraging the bullet without bumping against your partner. And since they’re about the same price and are better overall, I’d recommend one of these instead of the VeDO Bam if you want something great during sex.
Noise
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 VeDO Bam is inaudible behind a closed door on all intensity levels – even with its exceptional power. So it’s a safe option if you are worried about housemates overhearing.
The vibrations have a buzzy pitch, which isn’t as pleasant as deeper-sounding bullets, but they don’t bother me because they’re relatively quiet. If you are very noise-sensitive, there are quieter, deeper-sounding bullet and mini vibrators like the We-Vibe Touch X or Je Joue Classic.
Battery Life
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 VeDO Bam is rechargeable and lasted 78 minutes, continuously vibrating on high power during our testing. This is impressive, considering the bullet’s high strength.
You can find other high-powered options that last over an hour but are typically more expensive. So this is a great budget-friendly option if you care about a long runtime.
Build Quality
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 VeDO Bam has a good build quality. It has a nice weight that makes it feel solid and well-made. You charge the bullet by screwing off a plastic cap, which makes it feel a little cheaper. But the silicone is smooth and comfortable. It’s not quite as luxurious as some models, but it looks good, and I’ve had no issues with it.
Cleaning
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 VeDO Bam is completely waterproof, so it’s very easy to clean. It has an IPX7 rating which means you can safely submerge it up to a meter deep for up to half an hour. So simply clean it with soap and water.
