Je Joue G-spot Bullet vs BMS Swan Maximum Bullet Side-By-Side Comparison
Performance Ratings
Our Verdict
The Je Joue G-spot Bullet is a good option for those who value low-frequency, rumbly vibrations and prefer mild-to-moderate power. It has plenty of deep, rumbly settings in the lower and middle power range – great for those overstimulated by intense or buzzy vibrations. It’s quiet, waterproof, and has a decent battery life. The design is also easy to maneuver and leverage for clitoral use (solo or during sex).
The Je Joue G-spot bullet has two main drawbacks:
- It lacks intense upper levels for those who like high power.
- Its short handle makes it difficult to use for G-spot stimulation. There’s little space left to grip when using it internally.
If you’re considering the Je Joue G-spot bullet primarily for internal use, you’ll find the longer Pillow Talk Racy easier to use for G-spot stimulation. Or if you’re here for the extremely rumbly motors Je Joue is famous for, but you want more vibration power, consider the We-Vibe Tango X.
The Je Joue G-spot bullet is best for those who prefer mild stimulation but enjoy the deep impact of rumbly vibrations.
The BMS Swan Maximum Bullet is an excellent, affordable bullet vibrator. It’s my most powerful bullet and has the widest power range – it also begins gently for a comfortable warmup.
You make some tradeoffs for the outstanding power range at a reasonable price. The vibrations are primarily buzzy, which some people dislike but others prefer. The vibes also travel into my hand, which is distracting on the higher levels. But it’s not an issue on the low to middle settings.
It’s also a fairly short bullet, so it’s not as easy to grip and maneuver as longer options. And the press-and-hold button system provides excellent control over your exact strength, but you need to keep the button pressed firmly when changing settings, which can be tiring.
But the Swan Maximum has the longest battery life of the bullets I’ve tested. It’s also IPX7 waterproof, so it’s very easy to clean. And for those who want an exceptional power range at an affordable price – the BMS Swan Maximum is a great choice.

Vibrations: Power And Range
The Je Joue G-spot Bullet has gentle to mid-powered vibrations, so it’s best for those who prefer milder stimulation. It starts whisper-soft at 1 out of 10 vibration strength and reaches a moderate 5.5 out of 10 on high.
Since the Je Joue G-spot bullet has 5 power levels, you have plenty of gradual steps in that mild range. This makes it excellent for those easily overstimulated by intense vibrations. It’s likely that none of these power levels will feel overwhelming to you.
I enjoy this bullet and can orgasm from it. But for someone like me who enjoys more intense vibrations, it takes more time and effort than bullets that reach at least a 6 out of 10 power.
If you prefer more power, consider the Pillow Talk Racy – a cheaper G-spot bullet vibrator with more strength and better overall performance. Or if you just want clit stimulation, the Lovense Ambi has a bit more power.
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.
Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)
We rate rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because most people prefer rumbliness. But consider what you enjoy!
The Je Joue G-spot Bullet’s vibrations have good rumbliness. The first 4 out of 5 vibration levels are in the rumbly range. And its lowest two settings are extremely rumbly. The Je Joue’s gentle to mid-powered, rumbly vibrations will feel wonderful to those overstimulated by intensity.
Those who enjoy both rumbliness and power may be disappointed that none of the Je Joue’s rumbly vibrations are especially strong.
The We-Vibe Tango X is a fantastic alternative if you need rumbly vibrations with higher strength. It’s my most rumbly bullet and is only about $10 more expensive. Or the cheaper Pillow Talk Racy G-spot bullet has similar rumbliness to the Je Joue G-spot bullet but packs more strength.
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.
G-Spot Use
The Je Joue G-spot Bullet is a decent toy for vaginal use. It’s a fun gateway into G-spot vibrators and can help you explore internal stimulation. But it’s more challenging to use than full-sized G-spot vibrators that are longer and easier to leverage. It’s best to consider using the Je Joue for G-spot stimulation as a fun bonus to the typical clitoral use.
The Je Joue G-spot Bullet’s short length (4.2 inches) is a downside. The bullet has to slide about an inch inside you – so you’re left with little handle length to grip. You can feel the vibrations on your G-spot, but its small size makes it difficult to leverage for movement or pressure.
I also prefer strong, rumbly vibrations for G-spot stimulation. The G-spot is less sensitive than the clit, so I want more oomph from the vibrations. The Je Joue has rumbly vibrations, but they’re relatively weak, so they have little impact internally.
The Pillow Talk Racy is a better bullet vibrator for G-spot use than the Je Joue at a cheaper price. It has a longer handle that’s easier to leverage and more comfortable to grip. And it packs more power. It also has a bulbous, rounded head, which I prefer over the Je Joue G-spot Bullet’s tapered tip, which feels pokey. The Racy’s bulbous shape provides better contact with my G-spot and spreads the pressure more comfortably.
Stimulation Precision
Whether you enjoy broad or focused clitoral stimulation is a personal preference.
The Je Joue G-spot Bullet provides somewhat focused clitoral stimulation, which I find really comfortable. The tip has a slight taper, so you can limit the contact with your body to a small area.
It’s not large enough to spread the vibrations over your whole vulva. For that, try a wide mini vibrator like the We-Vibe Touch X. Or if you enjoy especially broad stimulation, wand vibrators are the best. Instead, the Je Joue G-spot bullet is excellent for direct clitoral stimulation or indirect vibrations with good pressure.
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.
Comfort & Ease of Use
The Je Joue G-spot Bullet is a very comfortable toy for clitoral stimulation (also see our section discussing G-spot use above). The bullet’s grip is very comfortable, and the vibrations don’t travel much into your hand.
I can easily leverage this for good clitoral pressure without straining my wrist due to the comfortable length and hooked tip (although it’s too short for comfortable G-spot pressure). And the plush head is incredibly comfortable.
The Je Joue G-spot Bullet’s controls are excellent. It has separate buttons to increase power, decrease power, and change vibration patterns. You can also adjust the intensity of each pattern, which is rare in a bullet vibrator. Typically, you can only change the constant setting’s power.
The buttons require firm pressure, which can be mildly tiring if you change settings often. But it’s nothing that deters me from using it, and it keeps me from accidentally changing patterns or intensity.
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.
Use During Sex
The Je Joue G-spot is superb during sex. It’s a great length and width to fit into small areas without interfering or bumping into your partner. The curved head lets you keep the handle tight against your chest, which keeps it out of the way. I find angled vibrators like the Je Joue G-spot vibrator are typically easier to use for clit stimulation during sex than straight bullet vibrators.
The length allows you to adjust the pressure easily. And I love the plush head, which provides comfort even if things get a little bumpy with a lot of movement during sex.
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.
Noise
The Je Joue G-spot is a very quiet bullet vibrator. It’s completely inaudible from the other side of a closed door. So you don’t have to worry about housemates overhearing – even if you’re on the highest power level.
And even within the room, the noise is very subtle. So, even if you’re easily annoyed by vibration sounds, this is a safe option!
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.
Battery Life
The Je Joue G-spot Bullet is rechargeable and has a reasonable battery life. It lasted 65 minutes, constantly vibrating on high power during our testing. But there are more powerful bullet vibrators that last longer.
For instance, the We-Vibe Tango X has 1.4 times the vibration power of the Je Joue G-spot bullet and lasted 105 minutes on high.
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.
Build Quality
The Je Joue G-spot Bullet feels high-quality. The smooth silicone is comfortable. The tip’s plush texture feels especially luxurious. And the weight gives it a nice, solid feel that seems like it will last a while.
The buttons are tiny, and the click is very subtle, but they seem built to last, and I’ve had no trouble with the buttons functioning correctly.
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.
Cleaning
This is a fully waterproof bullet vibrator, which makes cleaning it very easy. You can fully submerge the Je Joue G-spot bullet while washing it without fear of water damaging the toy. You can also take it with you in the tub!
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.
