Je Joue Rabbit Bullet vs Maude Vibe Side-By-Side Comparison
Performance Ratings
Our Verdict
The Je Joue Rabbit Bullet is a mid-budget bullet vibrator with flexible rabbit ears at the tip. The ears are intended to hug your clit, offering unique stimulation. Unfortunately, the vibrations hardly travel through the ears, so the effect is minimal. They also take some meticulous placement to be comfortable.
The Je Joue Rabbit Bullet’s vibrations range from gentle to moderately strong but nothing too intense. It’s also less rumbly than Je Joue’s other bullet vibrators. It’s quiet and has good controls, but I found the rabbit ears underwhelming. If you want to try something interesting, I enjoyed the Je Joue Amour’s flutter tip much more! There are also plenty of traditional bullets I enjoy more – compare options here.
The Maude Vibe is a great mini vibrator for those who love strong, buzzy vibrations.
Its 3 intensity levels range from moderate strength to intense power. And people who dislike rumbly vibrations will be happy to have a powerful, buzzy vibrator in contrast to the many weak buzzy options available.
On the other hand, if you prefer rumbly vibrations or typically need gentle power levels while warming up, then you’ll enjoy the Pillow Talk Racy or We-Vibe Tango X more.
Except for its lack of gentle or rumbly settings, the Maude Vibe has great performance. It’s strong, discreet, comfortable, and easy to use. I love its long teardrop shape because it makes the vibe easy to grip and leverage to apply pressure! And it has a sleek aesthetic with lovely neutral color options available.

Vibrations: Power And Range
The Je Joue Rabbit Bullet has a nice power range but only offers gentle through moderate strengths. It’s best for those who prefer mild stimulation.
The Je Joue Rabbit’s lowest setting is a 1 out of 10 vibration strength, which is very gentle and great for a warm-up. You climb comfortably through 5 power levels to its top strength of 5.4 out of 10. This is strong enough that I can orgasm with the Je Joue Rabbit Bullet, but only if I press the vibrator’s firm core to my body.
The motor is located in the bullet vibrator’s core – not in the rabbit ears. So the rabbit ears just pass along the vibrations from the main part of the bullet. As a result, stimulation from the rabbit ears feels weak. And they feel even weaker the harder you press since they cannot flutter around.
People who prefer gentle stimulation may enjoy this bullet. If you like more power, consider a bullet like the We-Vibe Tango X, which offers rumbly vibrations, or the Lovense Ambi, which offers more neutral vibrations.
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.
Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)
We rate rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because it’s what most people prefer.
Je Joue’s bullets are generally known for being rumbly, but the Je Joue Rabbit Bullet has mediocre rumbliness. The first three settings feel deep, but the top two strengths have a “neutral” feel. The Je Joue Amour and Je Joue G-spot Bullet are certainly more rumbly.
I enjoy neutral-feeling vibrations personally, so I don’t mind this about the Je Joue Rabbit, but those specifically looking for rumbliness will not be satisfied. You can find some better options at this price point, including Je Joue’s other bullets. Or the We-Vibe Tango X has exceptional rumbliness and is only a few dollars more.
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.
Stimulation Precision
Compared to other bullets, the Je Joue Rabbit’s stimulation is between focused and broad (a personal preference).
It’s about 1.11 inches from edge-to-edge of the rabbit ears, which is broader than many bullets. I use this measurement because I’ve found you feel the rabbit ears together. I expected the stimulation to feel like two distinct, focused points, but that’s not the case. Your body cannot feel that there are two separate ears.
The Je Joue Rabbit Bullet’s traditional core is a pretty average bullet width (0.83 inches) – less precise than some famous bullets like the We-Vibe Tango X (0.69 inches).
If you use just one rabbit ear, you can limit contact to a smaller area if you’d like, but you can’t achieve firm pressure or strong vibrations doing this.
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.
Comfort & Ease of Use
The Je Joue Rabbit Bullet is easy to use and feels pleasant to hold. The handle is a comfortable length to grip and leverage, and the vibrations don’t travel much into your hand while using it.
However, applying firm pressure with the rabbit ears is difficult. They’re very flexible, and pressing firmly makes the vibrations feel weaker. Those who like to apply pressure would do better with a traditional bullet like the Je Joue Classic.
You can still achieve some pressure with the Je Joue Rabbit Bullet by pressing the rigid core against your body instead of the ears. But the ears can get in the way a bit when doing this.
The controls are excellent – the Je Joue Rabbit Bullet has separate buttons to increase and decrease power. A third button cycles through the vibration patterns. And you can adjust the intensity of each pattern. So you can quickly and easily find your preferred setting.
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.
Use During Sex
The Je Joue Rabbit Bullet is disappointing during sex.
You need to place the rabbit ears precisely to feel the vibrations and situate them comfortably. This can be distracting and frustrating during sex.
Due to the flexible ears, firm pressure is also difficult to achieve with this bullet. Using the firm core at the base of the ears can help, but this requires holding the toy at an angle that starts to bump against your partner’s chest when facing each other.
Many bullets are easier to use during sex than the Je Joue Rabbit Bullet. I especially like options with a curved or angled head (like the Pillow Talk Racy and Lovense Ambi) that help the bullet fit more easily between bodies.
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.
Noise
The Je Joue Rabbit Bullet is exceptionally quiet. Even when I’m using the highest strength, my partner cannot hear this toy from the other side of a closed door. It’s a safe option if you live with others.
Of course, part of the reason it’s quiet is that it’s not very powerful. Plenty of stronger bullets are even quieter.
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.
Battery Life
The Je Joue Rabbit Bullet is rechargeable and has a reasonable battery life. In our test, it lasted 75 minutes on its highest power. This is enough for me, but it is slightly below average. You can find bullets that last over an hour and a half, like the We-Vibe Tango X.
If you choose the Je Joue Rabbit Bullet, just charge it after each use.
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.
Build Quality
The Je Joue Rabbit Bullet has excellent build quality. It has a good weight that makes it seem durable and feels nice in my hand. The silicone is silky smooth, and I enjoy the feel of the button press.
This seems like a solid bullet, and I’ve had no problems with it functioning as it should.
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.
Cleaning
The Je Joue Rabbit Bullet is 100% waterproof (IPX7), which makes it extremely easy to clean. You can fully submerge it in soapy water and scrub it without worrying about water damage.
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.
