Nu Sensuelle Point vs Pillow Talk Flirty Side-By-Side Comparison
Performance Ratings
Our Verdict
The Nu Sensuelle Point is a good, reasonably priced bullet vibrator. However, several cheaper bullet vibrators are just as good or better. For instance, the Nasstoys Intense Travel Vibe Mini is nearly identical at a much lower price.
The Nu Sensuelle Point has excellent vibration power, although it is a bit buzzy, which some people will not enjoy. Unfortunately, there are no gentle settings, so if you need a mild warmup, you’ll have to use another vibrator first.
It also has too many settings for its one-button control system. If you want to lower the power, you’ll need to cycle through all 10 power levels and 10 vibration patterns which takes forever. For most people, there are better bullet vibrators at more affordable prices – compare options here.
The Pillow Talk Flirty is one of the most affordable bullet vibrators. It has a gentle to mid-strength power range with mostly neutral to buzzy vibrations. It’s quiet, easy to use, and water-resistant for easy cleaning. But the battery only lasts about 40 minutes on high power, so you’ll have to charge it frequently.
If you prefer more power and rumbliness, consider the Pillow Talk Racy for about $20 more. Or the Blush Limited Addiction is a more powerful alternative in the Flirty’s price range, but this one lacks any gentle warmup settings. The Pillow Talk Flirty is a great budget-friendly bullet vibrator if you prefer mild to moderate vibrations and find high intensity overwhelming.
Vibrations: Power And Range
The Nu Sensuelle Point has excellent intensity but a very limited power range. It has 10 intensity levels, starting at a 6 out of 10 vibration strength and reaching 8.75 out of 10 on high.
Although having 10 intensity levels sounds like a lot, they’re all very close together. So, they don’t actually provide much variety. And with only a single button to cycle through settings, having 10 levels is more of a chore than a benefit. I prefer the nearly identical Nasstoys Intense Travel Vibe Mini, which spans the same power range with just 3 convenient settings.
Another significant factor to consider here is that there are no gentle settings, which some people need while warming up.
I often start at a gentler strength – around a 5 out of 10 or lower. Then, as I’m ready for more power, I can gradually work my way up. You won’t find this with the Nu Sensuelle Point, so it’s best for those who aren’t worried about overstimulation and prefer to start strong.
For a cheaper option with a slightly broader power range, the Blush Limited Addiction starts at a 5 out of 10 and reaches an extremely high strength of 10 out of 10!
For an even wider range, the Lovense Ambi ranges from 1.5 out of 10 on low to 8 out of 10 on high, so it has plenty of mild levels to enjoy while warming up.
The Pillow Talk Flirty has gentle to mid-level power. It’s excellent for those who prefer milder vibrations or get overstimulated by intense power.
To move through its power range, you press and hold the button to increase power gradually. As a result, steps between intensity levels are subtle and comfortable. And the Flirty covers the mild to moderate power range very well.
The lowest power starts at 1.5 out of 10 vibration strength, but the highest only reaches 5 out of 10. When I use the Pillow Talk Flirty, I can orgasm from it, but it takes some effort. So it’s not one I reach for often, but it can be great for those overstimulated by intense power.
If you prefer more power, consider the Blush Limited Addiction in this price range. It’s stronger but lacks gentle levels. Or, if you want to keep those low powers but add some strength, try the slightly more expensive Pillow Talk Racy.
Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)
We rate bullets with rumbly vibrations higher than those with buzzy ones because it’s what most people want. But it’s a personal preference!
The Nu Sensuelle Point has decent rumbliness for its power. The first 3 power levels are in the rumbly range, so you have some rumbly options! Even though these are the softest power levels, the Nu Sensuelle Point’s low settings start with a solid kick at a 6 out of 10 strength. So these rumbly vibrations pack substantial impact.
I consider the next three settings neutral – neither rumbly nor buzzy. I enjoy these neutral settings, but they may disappoint you if you prefer rumbly vibrations. The rest of the settings are moderately buzzy. If you like intense, buzzy vibrations, you’ll enjoy these settings.
It’s important to know that you can’t get this much intensity in a bullet vibrator without trading off some rumbliness. I haven’t found any as powerful as the Nu Sensuelle Point (8.75 out of 10 strength) that remain rumbly. The We-Vibe Tango X gets close (7.75 out of 10 strength) and is the best option for those who value strong vibrations with exceptional rumbliness.
We rate rumbly vibrators higher than buzzy ones because it’s what most people want. But preferences vary, so consider what you enjoy.
The Pillow Talk Flirty has below-average rumbliness. Its softest power levels are in the rumbly range, but most people will use these gentle levels only briefly while warming up. Its stronger power levels range from neutral-feeling to moderately buzzy.
It can be enjoyable if you prefer buzzy vibrations. But I find the mild power paired with the buzzy frequency packs little impact. So it’s best if you like light stimulation. I enjoy neutral or moderately buzzy vibrations, but typically when paired with more strength than the Flirty has.
You’ll need to increase your budget slightly if you prefer rumbly vibrations. The Pillow Talk Racy is the most affordable bullet with great rumbliness. Or you could go with a mini wand like the BMS Swan Era, which is even more rumbly than the Racy, and not much pricier.
Stimulation Precision
The Nu Sensuelle has pretty precise stimulation due to its tapered tip. So you can limit contact to a specific area, which is great if you prefer direct, focused clitoral stimulation.
Besides the taper, the 0.79-inch width is very close to what I consider a medium-precision bullet. And when I press the side of the bullet against my body (instead of just the tip), I can distribute the vibrations across a wider area. This is useful if you enjoy firm pressure from your bullet since a wider surface area can be more comfortable to press against.
The Pillow Talk Flirty provides a medium amount of precision for a bullet. The tip is slightly bulbous, spreading out the vibrations a bit and making it comfortable to press firmly against my body.
It’s less precise than tapered and lipstick-shaped bullet vibrators. But it’s more focused than broad mini vibrators like the Dame Pom or We-Vibe Touch X. The amount of precision you enjoy is entirely a personal preference.
Comfort & Ease of Use
The Nu Sensuelle Point is comfortable to grip and easy to leverage, but its poor control system is annoying.
Its 0.79-inch wide body is comfortable to hold, and it has enough length (3.7 inches) to easily leverage and apply pressure. Even after long periods, I don’t feel finger or wrist strain while gripping this bullet. The vibrations travel into my hand a bit, but this is most prominent when held in the air. When you press the bullet against you, the vibrations in my hand dampen, and I don’t find them distracting.
Unfortunately, with 20 settings (10 power levels and 10 vibration patterns), its one-button control system is annoying. If you want to return to a previous setting, you need to cycle through all the remaining power levels and patterns!
You cannot even take a shortcut by turning the Nu Sensuelle Point off and back on to start over because it has a memory feature. It will pick back up where you left off! This is another reason I think the nearly identical Nasstoys Travel Vibe Mini is more convenient.
Even better are bullet vibrators with separate buttons to increase and decrease power, like the cheaper Blush Limited Addiction or the premium We-Vibe Tango X.
The Pillow Talk Flirty is a very comfortable bullet that’s easy to use. It’s relatively long for a bullet vibrator (4.3 inches), making it very comfortable to grip, leverage, and apply pressure. The vibrations don’t travel into my hand much, so the grip is fantastic. And the button to adjust power is easily within my reach without needing to change my hold on the bullet.
The control system takes some getting used to, but is straightforward once you learn it. Hold the Flirty’s button, and the bullet will gradually increase power. Once it reaches your desired strength, you release the button. To move back down, you’ll need to double-click the button to begin again at the gentlest setting.
I prefer vibrators with two buttons to increase and decrease power, but I like that the Flirty’s system inherently provides gradual, subtle steps between intensity levels.
Use During Sex
The Nu Sensuelle Point is very easy and comfortable to use during sex (provided you don’t typically change power levels often). It’s a great thin size to fit into tight spaces. The bullet is also long enough that I can comfortably hold it between our bodies.
I can also keep good contact with my clit without angling the bullet’s base out in a way that interferes with my partner’s body.
The Pillow Talk Flirty is easy to use during sex. It’s best in a spooning position or others where you’re facing away from your partner. The relatively slender size is great for fitting into tight spots. And since it has a slight flex, it’s very comfortable and able to keep great contact, even with a bit of jostling around. The slight flexibility makes it a bit more difficult to apply pressure during sex, but still easier than most bullets since it’s longer.
Positions where you’re facing your partner are a little trickier because you have to angle the toy so the end of it doesn’t hit your partner’s chest. But since it’s not a very long toy, it’s very doable. It just takes some intentionality.
While the Pillow Talk Flirty is good during sex, I have even better success with the Pillow Talk Racy because the tip of the toy curves inward. This helps to maintain good contact without having to angle the bullet in a way that contacts my partner’s chest.
Noise
The Nu Sensuelle Point is one of the louder bullet vibrators I’ve tested, measuring 50.0 dB on high. I can use the low and middle power levels without my partner hearing the vibrations from the other side of a closed bedroom door. But when standing behind the door, he heard the upper settings easily.
Remember that the Nu Sensuelle gets pretty strong, so you still have some powerful levels to enjoy discreetly.
But if you want all power levels to be safe, the Blush Limited Addiction gets even stronger than the Nu Sensuelle Point while remaining inaudible from behind a closed door.
The Pillow Talk Flirty is one of my quietest bullet vibrators! While recording its decibel readings with our Sound Level Meter, it was quieter than the room’s ambient sound. When I’m using it in our bedroom, my partner cannot hear it from the other side of the closed door on any power levels. So it’s safe to use if you live with others.
The discreet noise is no surprise since it’s only mid-powered. If you want something quiet but prefer stronger bullet vibrators, consider the Pillow Talk Racy.
Battery Life
The Nu Sensuelle Point is rechargeable and has a pretty good battery life for its strength. In our testing, it lasted 85 minutes constantly vibrating on its maximum power. This is very convenient if you frequently forget to charge between uses like me.
The Flirty’s battery life is short compared to most bullets, especially when you consider its low power range. You’ll definitely want to make sure to charge it fully between each use.
If you’re the type to forget to charge it (like me), you’ll want to pick something with a longer battery life. The Je Joue Classic is a great option. And even though the Blush Limited Addiction’s battery life isn’t much higher, you can extend it even further if you use some low or middle power levels.
Build Quality
The Nu Sensuelle Point has a smooth texture, a solid feel when pressing the button, and a pretty durable feel. Though it’s not quite as heavy as the nearly identical Nasstoys Intense Travel Vibe Mini, which makes that bullet feel a little higher-quality.
The Pillow Talk Flirty has an excellent build quality, especially for an inexpensive bullet vibrator. The silicone feels smooth, but grippy and is luxurious. And the slight flexibility makes it comfortable, but it still feels sturdy. I’m not concerned about breaking it with too much pressure.
Cleaning
This bullet is completely waterproof (IPX7), so you can completely submerge it while you scrub it with soap and water, making it very easy to clean!
The Pillow Talk Flirty is IPX6 water-resistant, which makes it very easy to clean. IPX6 products can resist “high-pressure, heavy sprays of water” so you can wash it under a faucet without worrying about damaging the toy. Just clean with soap and water.
