The Je Joue Classic has a great power range from gentle to intense. With 5 power levels beginning at a 1 out of 10 vibration strength and climbing gradually to its max power of 7.75, you’ll likely find settings at your ideal strength. The steps between settings are comfortable and small.

The gentle starting level is excellent if you need mild stimulation while warming up. And the highest setting of 7.75 out of 10 feels intense, and I can easily orgasm with it. This top strength is powerful but not too extreme or overwhelming.

It’s also more powerful than the brand’s other bullet vibrators, like the Je Joue G-spot Bullet or Je Joue Amour. Only those looking for enormous power will need more. If that’s you, you could also consider the FemmeFunn Ultra Bullet or Blush Limited Addiction.

The Je Joue Classic is one of my favorite bullets, and the main reason is how versatile the wide power range is. Most people will find comfortable and enjoyable settings to take them from start to finish.

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 rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because they’re what most people prefer. However, some people like buzzy vibrations instead, so consider what you enjoy!

The Je Joue Classic Bullet has decent rumbliness. The first 3 power settings feel rumbly. But the 2 most intense settings are neutral – neither rumbly nor buzzy. So if exceptional rumbliness is your priority, consider the We-Vibe Tango X. It’s as strong as the Je Joue Classic but much more rumbly.

But if you don’t need super rumbly vibrations, the Je Joue Classic bullet can be excellent.

I only find neutral or buzzy vibrations overstimulating when they’re extremely powerful. Since bullet vibrators aren’t overwhelmingly intense (like large wand vibrators can be), I actually love neutral vibrations in a bullet – so the Je Joue Classic is one of my favorites. These neutral vibes pack a little more intensity near the surface than rumbly vibes do – I find the extra zing near the surface helps me orgasm more easily.

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.

The Je Joue Classic provides moderately precise stimulation. Its body is 0.85 inches thick and tapers down to a focused tip. When applying firm pressure, the moderate thickness spreads the force out more than thin bullets like the We-Vibe Tango X (0.69 inches). You may find the broader spread more comfortable.

Or you can use the tapered tip to limit contact to a very small area. So, you can achieve more focused stimulation depending on how you hold it.

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 Classic is one of the most comfortable, easy-to-use bullet vibrators I’ve tested.

The finger strap is excellent! I can slip a finger through the strap, move the bullet around, and press the vibrations exactly where I want without gripping the bullet tightly. I use the strap almost every time!

When holding the bullet, the vibrations don’t travel much into my hand. And the rigid core makes it easy to leverage the Classic for firm pressure.

Something else I love about the Je Joue Classic is its excellent control system. There are 3 separate buttons to increase and decrease power or rotate through vibration patterns. Many bullet vibrators make you cycle through all the settings using a single button.

You can also raise and lower the strength of the Je Joue Classic’s vibration patterns. Many bullets only let you adjust the strength of the constant vibration setting.

The buttons take some firm pressure, but they’re very responsive, and it’s nothing too tiring. The excellent controls make finding your preferred setting quick and easy.

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 Classic is excellent to use during sex. It’s thin enough to slip into tight areas easily and stimulates well. I’m able to keep good clitoral contact to transfer the vibes well.

At 3.7 inches long, it’s shorter than some bullets like the Pillow Talk Racy (5 inches) or FemmeFunn Booster Bullet (4.3 inches). So angling the Je Joue Classic to apply pressure takes more effort in face-to-face positions: your hand needs to be close to the action! But it’s still very doable. And I have no problem finding the right angle in spooning positions or others where I have free space in front of me.

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 Classic is very quiet, so it’s an excellent discreet option if you’re worried about sound. We measured the Je Joue Classic’s noise level on its strongest setting at just 45 decibels. For context, my partner and I also tested whether the bullet can be heard from the other side of a closed door in our silent house. My partner could not hear the Je Joue Classic on any setting.

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 Classic is rechargeable and has an acceptable battery life. It lasts about 75 minutes on high power, which is enough for me, but you can find something longer-lasting if you need it, like the We-Vibe Tango X (105 minutes).

The Je Joue Classic recharges with a standard micro USB cable (included). So it’s easy to replace if you lose the charger – you probably already have another lying around the house!

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 Classic has an outstanding build quality. The smooth silicone feels luxurious and sturdy. The core is rigid and feels solid, like it’s built to last. But the slightly squishy tip feels lovely. The buttons seem well-made, though they have a very subtle click feel, and I prefer it when the click is more noticeable.

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 Classic is IPX7 fully waterproof, so it’s effortless to clean. You can completely submerge this bullet while scrubbing it with soap and water without damaging it.

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.
