The Lelo Mia 2 has a very soft power range, which can be good or bad depending on your needs. Its first power starts at 0.1 out of 10 for vibration strength, which is the gentlest of all my bullet vibrators. There are 12 power settings in total, with the top strength reaching only 3.25 out of 10.

This means you have lots of small, incremental power steps to enjoy within that gentle range. Making the Mia 2 a nice option for those who are easily overstimulated and who need lots of soft vibrations without too much intensity. I can orgasm with the top strength of the Mia 2, but it definitely takes some effort.

I like more power personally, and those who want intensity will prefer other options in a comparable price range. For instance, the Lovense Ambi and We-Vibe Touch X each reach closer to an 8 out of 10 on high and begin softly at 1.5 and 2.5 out of 10 on low. So you still have gentler strengths for warming up, but you also have the option to crank up the intensity.

The Pillow Talk Racy has a powerful top setting and covers an impressive range from low to high. It’s great for everyone but those who need extreme power.

The starting power is a 2 out of 10 vibration strength. So it begins soft enough for people who need a warmup and those overstimulated by intensity. And its top level reaches 7.75 out of 10, a strength I consider intense. Although there are a few bullets with more extreme upper settings like the Blush Limited Addiction and BMS Swan Maximum, I orgasm effortlessly and reliably with the Pillow Talk Racy.

With the Pillow Talk Racy’s incremental speed control, it covers its power range completely. You’ll hold the button to gradually increase power in tiny increments and release it when you’ve reached your desired strength.

As a result, steps between power levels are very comfortable – not jarring. And you have a ton of intensity levels available in each part of the power range (gentle, moderate, and strong). Many other bullet vibrators may cover a wide power range but do so with only a few distinct intensity levels.

We rate rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because it’s what most people prefer. 

The Lelo Mia 2 has average rumbliness. The low powers are in the rumbly range, but the higher strengths are in the neutral range. Since it has low overall strength, those neutral-feeling higher powers are the ones you’ll likely use most often.

Personal preferences on vibration frequency vary, and I actually really enjoy the Lelo Mia’s neutral vibrations. But if you want the most rumbly option you can find, the We-Vibe Tango X is a great alternative in the same price range.

We rate rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because it’s what most people prefer.

The majority of the Pillow Talk Racy’s vibrations are rumbly. Only the top few power levels cross into the neutral-feeling range, which I actually really enjoy. The more expensive We-Vibe Tango X and the discontinued original Tango are the only two bullet vibrators I’ve tested with comparable power that are more rumbly than the Pillow Talk Racy.

The Pillow Talk Racy is a great, affordable bullet for those who prefer rumbly vibrations.

The Pillow Talk Racy is an excellent toy for internal use. Although longer, full-sized G-spot vibrators are easier to leverage and maneuver, the Racy is my favorite mini G-spot vibrator.

The Racy’s handle is longer than my other G-spot bullets, allowing your hand more space to grip the toy while using it internally. This helps keep your hand and fingers comfortable while leveraging the vibrator for firm pressure.

As a mini version of the full-sized Pillow Talk Sassy (1.5 inches wide), the Racy is slimmer at just 1.03 inches wide. People who find large toys uncomfortable will prefer the Racy’s narrower head (I like it more personally). But people who like girth and feeling “full” will enjoy the Sassy more.

I enjoy rumbly vibrations for internal stimulation, so the Pillow Talk Racy’s rumbly low and moderate power levels are fantastic. And even though the high-powered settings are not rumbly, they’re still strong enough to have an enjoyable impact.

I love the slightly flexible core, which makes inserting and moving this vibrator easier and more comfortable than a rigid toy. The bulbous shape of the Racy’s head also spreads the pressure comfortably!

The Lelo Mia 2 provides a medium amount of precision (purely a personal preference) compared to other bullet and mini vibrators – a hybrid between broad and focused. It has a relatively narrow, rounded tip that provides fairly focused stimulation. But the tip does not come to a fine point like many tapered or lipstick-shaped bullets that provide very precise stimulation.

Likewise, some mini vibrators like the We-Vibe Touch X provide broader stimulation that blankets more of your vulva. But still, you can get somewhat broad stimulation from the Mia 2 by angling it and pressing the side of the bullet against you rather than the tip.

The Pillow Talk Racy lies between broad and focused. Its rounded G-spot tip is broader than most bullet vibrators at 1.03 inches wide. But as a mini vibrator, it’s still more focused than large toys like full-sized G-spot vibrators, wand vibrators, and even other mini vibrators like the We-Vibe Touch X.

This is my favorite size for applying firm pressure because it comfortably distributes the stimulation but is still narrow enough to target a specific area. The coverage is not focused exclusively on the clit, but it’s also not blanketing your whole vulva.

The Lelo Mia 2 is very comfortable. The Mia is longer than most bullets and has a firm texture making it very easy to grip and leverage for solid pressure.

The Mia has separate buttons to increase and decrease vibration power. This is helpful over the one-button system many bullet vibrators use that requires you to cycle through levels. The buttons take firmer pressure than some, but this means you don’t accidentally adjust the power when you don’t mean to.

The Pillow Talk Racy is exceptionally comfortable and easy to use for clit stimulation (also see our section discussing G-spot use above).

At 5 inches in length, it’s one of my longest bullet vibrators. This length makes it easier to leverage and provides more space to grip the handle comfortably without your fingers getting tired or cramped. The vibrations also don’t travel much into my hands, so I can play comfortably for a long time.

The hooked end makes it even easier to apply firm pressure without wrist or finger strain. And I love that the core is slightly flexible, which keeps the firm pressure from bumping into my pubic bone too hard.

The incremental control system takes getting used to, but I like it. You increase power by holding down the button. The Pillow Talk Racy will gradually increase strength until you release the button when you reach your preferred intensity. To go back to the gentlest power, you can double-click the button.

The downside of this method is that you can’t step back down a power level or two. You’ll have to return to the beginning by double-clicking – then hold down the button again. However, I’ve found that this hasn’t felt disruptive during use. And the advantage of this method is that it inherently provides tiny, comfortable steps between power levels – never a large, jarring leap.

The Lelo Mia 2 is easy to use and effective during sex. The thin design makes it easy to fit into tight spaces. I can easily move the Mia around without the end hitting my partner’s chest.

It’s made of very firm plastic, which can bump around a bit in missionary or other positions where your partner may occasionally press the toy against you. It’s small enough that it does not cause discomfort, but if you’d prefer something more plush, the Dame Pom is very squishy and flexible. But I think most people will not be bothered by the firmness of the Mia’s tip.

The Pillow Talk Racy is remarkable during sex.

The typical angled shape of G-spot vibrators like the Racy makes them more convenient during sex. The Racy’s curved tip fits more naturally between our bodies without needing to angle the handle outward as I would with a straight bullet vibrator.

Since the Racy is also longer than most bullet vibrators I’ve tested, my hands don’t need to reach as far and take up space between my legs. The head is small enough to slip into tight areas easily. And the slightly flexible core moves comfortably with your body to maintain contact and prevent uncomfortable bumping around.

If you’re hoping to use a bullet vibrator during sex, this is one of the most convenient and effective ones for the job!

The Lelo Mia 2 is one of my quietest bullets and cannot be heard from behind a closed door at all. But this is primarily because it’s a low-powered bullet vibrator that’s best for those who need gentle vibrations.

If you prefer intense vibrations, there are more powerful bullet and mini vibrators that are also discreet. The We-Vibe Touch X and Lovense Ambi are two much stronger options that are also entirely inaudible behind a closed door.

The Pillow Talk Racy is one of my absolute quietest bullet vibrators. This is especially impressive considering its excellent power.

It’s one of only four bullet vibrators we tested that had noise levels so low our Sound Level Meter could not pick up the sound. Even on high power, its decibel levels did not exceed the ambient background noise of the room itself.

My partner could not hear it from behind a closed bedroom door on any power level during our testing. In fact, the noise is so low I hardly notice the sound myself while I’m using the Racy. So the Pillow Talk Racy is an excellent choice if you live with others or are distracted by sound.

The Lelo Mia 2 is rechargeable and lasts for an hour and a half on its highest power. This is long for a bullet. However, since its max setting is actually quite gentle, the battery life isn’t too impressive since it doesn’t use much power.

If you want more powerful bullets that last about the same time on their highest power, the We-Vibe Tango X and We-Vibe Touch X are excellent options. They’ll last even longer if you also tend to use some gentle settings part of the time.

The Pillow Talk Racy’s battery life is disappointing. In our testing, it only lasted 40 minutes continuously vibrating on its highest power – well below average.

I prefer my bullets to last for at least an hour. Plenty surpass this, including our best overall bullet vibrator, the We-Vibe Tango X. However, you can extend the Pillow Talk Racy’s runtime if you also use the lower and middle power levels. But you’ll want to remember to charge the Racy between each use.

The Lelo Mia 2 has a decent build quality. I haven’t experienced any issues with it, but its extremely lightweight plastic construction feels somewhat cheap. The buttons also take some firm pressure to press. It just doesn’t feel as luxurious as some other premium bullet vibrators.

The Pillow Talk Racy has excellent build quality! The only aspect of the Racy’s build that I don’t like is that it uses a pin-charger through the toy’s body with self-healing silicone. While not inherently worse, most companies have moved to using magnetic chargers. But the rest of the build is superb.

It’s covered in a smooth, luxurious silicone. Its flexible core is not flimsy – it feels sturdy, high-quality, and has a good weight. The textured grip, metallic colored accents, and crystal button feel elegant. The Racy’s button is also easier to press than my other Pillow Talk bullet (the Pillow Talk Flirty). I expect the Pillow Talk Racy to last a while!

The Lelo Mia 2 is completely IPX7 waterproof, which makes it very easy to clean. You can completely submerge it in water while you’re scrubbing with soap and water – absolutely no worries.

The Pillow Talk Racy is easy to clean because it’s IPX6 splashproof. It can resist high-pressure streams of water, so you can run it safely under the faucet while cleaning it with soap and water. But you should not completely submerge it or use it underwater.
