Nu Sensuelle Point vs VeDO Bam 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 VeDO Bam is a decent bullet vibrator, and I enjoy it. But some cheaper options perform better overall.
The VeDO Bam is one of the most powerful bullet vibrators I’ve tested, but it has no gentle or mid-intensity settings. And many people will need those warmup levels that it’s missing. The Blush Limited Addiction provides a broader power range and performs better overall than the VeDO Bam – at a lower price.
Besides its lack of gentler settings, the VeDO Bam performs reasonably well. It’s easy to leverage and maneuver, the medium-width tapered tip allows you to vary the surface area in contact for more precise or broader stimulation, and its silicone is smooth and comfy. But it doesn’t exceed the performance of the cheaper Blush bullet. So in this price range, I recommend it instead to most people.

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 VeDO Bam is a powerful bullet with no low or medium power levels. If you prefer intensity, it’s enjoyable! But its lowest of 3 settings is a 7.9 out of 10 for strength, so it can be jarring if you don’t start by warming up with a gentler bullet first.
It reaches a 9.5 out of 10 on high, one of the most powerful I’ve tested. However, the Bam’s power and range underperform compared to cheaper options. The Blush Limited Addiction begins softer (5 out of 10) than the VeDO Bam and finishes stronger (10 out of 10) at a cheaper price. On the other hand, if you prefer milder stimulation, try the Pillow Talk Flirty instead – a bullet with its power range focused around gentler settings.
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 vibrations higher than buzzy ones because it’s what most people want. But this is a personal preference, so if you enjoy buzzy vibes, pay more attention to the frequency chart than the rating.
The VeDO Bam’s vibrations have a neutral feeling on its lowest two settings, and its highest setting is moderately buzzy. I personally enjoy the first two powers because I like neutral vibrations in a bullet. They provide a bit of zing while still traveling reasonably deep. But it would be nice if the VeDO Bam also had some rumbly low levels like the Blush Limited Addiction has.
You’ll need to increase your budget if you care a lot about having deep, rumbly vibrations. Most bullet vibrators in the VeDO Bam’s price range have decent, but not excellent, rumbliness. The Pillow Talk Racy is a bit more expensive, and two-thirds of its power range is rumbly.
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.
You can get a mix of focused and broad stimulation from the VeDO Bam. It’s wider than many bullet vibrators, so you can get somewhat broad stimulation and pressure using the side of the bullet. But the tip has a slight taper, so you can use the end for more precise stimulation. As a result, it’s pretty versatile.
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 VeDO Bam is a comfortable and easy-to-use bullet vibrator. It’s a great length for leveraging, and since the structure is very rigid, you can get excellent pressure.
The VeDO Bam transfers some slight vibrations into your hand. But it will only bother people especially sensitive to this.
The button to control the vibration intensity and patterns is on the bottom. You have to adjust your grip slightly during use to press the button. You must also cycle through all powers and patterns to get to the one you want. It starts on the highest strength and cycles down to lower powers as you keep pressing. And since there are 3 power levels and 7 vibration patterns, there’s a lot to tap through.
I prefer bullets that let me power up or back down to find my ideal setting. That way, if I miss the one I want, I don’t have to cycle back through everything again. The Blush Limited Addiction is a budget-friendly option with a multi-button system.
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 VeDO Bam is a great size and shape for getting into tight spaces and leveraging easily during sex.
The vibrations travel into the handle a little bit, which does not bother me much during solo use but can be distracting during sex for some. It’s all about how I hold the bullet, and I find it less distracting in the spooning position than in missionary.
I don’t notice handle vibrations as much with the Blush Limited Addiction, Pillow Talk Flirty, or Pillow Talk Racy. The Racy even has a convenient inward curve, useful for leveraging the bullet without bumping against your partner. And since they’re about the same price and are better overall, I’d recommend one of these instead of the VeDO Bam if you want something great during sex.
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 VeDO Bam is inaudible behind a closed door on all intensity levels – even with its exceptional power. So it’s a safe option if you are worried about housemates overhearing.
The vibrations have a buzzy pitch, which isn’t as pleasant as deeper-sounding bullets, but they don’t bother me because they’re relatively quiet. If you are very noise-sensitive, there are quieter, deeper-sounding bullet and mini vibrators like the We-Vibe Touch X or Je Joue Classic.
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 VeDO Bam is rechargeable and lasted 78 minutes, continuously vibrating on high power during our testing. This is impressive, considering the bullet’s high strength.
You can find other high-powered options that last over an hour but are typically more expensive. So this is a great budget-friendly option if you care about a long runtime.
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 VeDO Bam has a good build quality. It has a nice weight that makes it feel solid and well-made. You charge the bullet by screwing off a plastic cap, which makes it feel a little cheaper. But the silicone is smooth and comfortable. It’s not quite as luxurious as some models, but it looks good, and I’ve had no issues with it.
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 VeDO Bam is completely waterproof, so it’s very easy to clean. It has an IPX7 rating which means you can safely submerge it up to a meter deep for up to half an hour. So simply clean it with soap and water.
