Vibrations: Power And Range


Max Power Rating 6.6 7.9
Power Range Rating 7.0 8.0
Power vs Frequency Graph
How Strong Is Each Power? 

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.

The We-Vibe Tango has an excellent power range. It’s a great option for someone wanting soft, moderate, and intense power levels in one bullet.

The We-Vibe Tango begins with 2.5 out of 10 vibration strength, which provides an excellent warm-up. Low levels like this are useful in the beginning to prevent overstimulation. And some people prefer mild vibrations the entire time. The two middle levels are moderately powerful, with reasonably gradual steps between intensities.

Then, the top strength reaches 7.75 out of 10 vibration strength. This is plenty of power for me to orgasm with, though I typically use the top strength and am glad it’s not any less powerful. The highest setting is not so intense that it feels overwhelming to me.

If you enjoy extreme power, there are some stronger bullet vibrators like the Blush Limited Addiction or FemmeFunn Ultra Bullet. Each has a top power level that is too intense for me personally, but they lack gentle settings.

The We-Vibe Tango’s 4 power settings provide a great variety to ensure you find a comfortable and stimulating level. It will satisfy all except those who need extreme power.


Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)


Rumbliness Rating 5.7 9.3
Power vs Frequency Graph
Frequency on Low Power 60 Hz 46 Hz
Median Frequency 87 Hz 51 Hz
Frequency on High Power 99 Hz 63 Hz
Rumbliness & Power Balance 5.1 9.2

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.

Pillow Talk Flirty and Pillow Talk Racy

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.

We rate rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because most people prefer deep, low-frequency vibrations.

The We-Vibe Tango is incredibly rumbly. Of all the bullet vibrators I’ve tested, only the upgraded We-Vibe Tango X is more rumbly. The Tango’s first 3 power levels are extremely rumbly. Its rumbliness is especially impressive considering its strength – vibrators always become buzzier as you increase power. But even the Tango’s highest strength remains moderately rumbly.

Powerful, deep vibrations typically come with a high price tag. But since the Tango is no longer in production and is being sold at a discount, it’s currently the most affordable rumbly bullet.


Stimulation Precision


Stimulation Precision Medium Precise

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.

The We-Vibe Tango is best for those who prefer precise stimulation because of its thin (0.67 inches) lipstick-shaped tip. This design covers a small area, so it’s great at hitting a specific spot without affecting other areas where you don’t want vibrations much.

You can achieve a bit broader coverage by pressing the Tango’s side to your body to spread the vibrations out more. But it’s easiest to use for focused stimulation.


Comfort & Ease of Use

Grip Comfort 9.5 10.0
Controls 8.5 8.0
Easy Leverage & Pressure 10.0 10.0

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.

The We-Vibe Tango is comfortable and easy to use. The thin, firm core makes it easy to maneuver and leverage to hit your desired spot.

The vibrations don’t travel much into my hand while I’m using it, so it’s very comfortable to grip.

We-Vibe Tango Control Button
The one-button control system of the We-Vibe Tango

You control the Tango with a single button on the toy’s base. You’ll cycle through the 4 power settings and 4 patterns. I prefer the multi-button system of the updated We-Vibe Tango X, which lets you increase or decrease power instead of cycling through levels. But if you don’t want to spend the extra money to upgrade, the Tango’s cycle setup just takes some getting used to.

We-Vibe Tango X Multiple Control Buttons
The newer We-Vibe Tango X has a multi-button control system instead of the one-button cycling control system of the original Tango

At most, you’re 8 clicks away from your desired setting since there are only a few intensity levels and patterns. And the button placement is ideal –  I don’t have to adjust my natural grip on the bullet to press the button.


Use During Sex


Use During Sex Rating 8.3 9.0

Spooning 9.5 9.0
Missionary 7.0 9.0

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.

Pillow Talk Flirty Compared to Pillow Talk Racy During Sex

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.

The We-Vibe Tango is great during sex. The rumbly vibrations travel deeper into your body and affect a wider area, which is helpful so that you don’t have to pay much attention to precisely positioning the bullet. I find these rumbly vibrations enhance sex without feeling overstimulating.

The thin design allows the Tango to slip into tight spaces easily and helps me keep good contact with my body. The original Tango is a half-inch shorter than the We-Vibe Tango X. The shorter length makes it a bit more challenging to grip during sex than the newer model. You have to pinch the end to hold it, but it’s still pretty easy.

The We-Vibe Tango is a good, affordable option if you want a bullet to use frequently during sex.


Noise


Noise Rating 10.0 6.5
Audibility Behind Closed Door 10.0 6.0
Decibels on High Power 35 dB 51.9 dB
Decibels on Low Power 35 dB 47.1 dB
Low Power Inaudible Inaudible
Middle Power Inaudible Audible
High Power Inaudible Audible
High Power with Box Fan Inaudible Inaudible
High Power with Music Inaudible Inaudible

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.

The We-Vibe Tango has passable noise levels, but there are quieter bullet vibrators.

When the Tango is not pressed against your body, it can sometimes make a rattling sound. On the two highest levels, if I don’t keep the bullet pressed to my skin, my partner can hear the rattle from the other side of the bedroom door.

Turning on a box fan or playing music masks this noise entirely. So, if you live with others, you’ll want to keep the bullet in contact with your body or add background noise to cover the sound.

If noise is a big concern to you, the Pillow Talk Racy covers a similar power range but is inaudible behind a closed door on all settings.


Battery Life


Battery Life Rating 5.3 7.8

Battery Life on High Power 40 Minutes 95 Minutes
Power Source Rechargeable Rechargeable

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.

The We-Vibe Tango is rechargeable and has a great battery life. During our tests, it lasted 95 minutes, continuously vibrating on high power. This is more than most people will use in a session, and I can enjoy it multiple times without charging between uses.


Build Quality


Build Quality Rating 8.5 9.0
Pillow Talk Flirty Build Quality Photo
We-Vibe Tango Build Quality Photo

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.

The We-Vibe Tango has a simple but great build quality. I love how the weight falls towards the tip, and it’s a comfortable amount of weight that gives it a sturdy and luxurious feel. The ABS Plastic construction does not feel too lightweight or cheap. I can apply solid pressure without feeling like I’ll damage the Tango.

It’s less luxurious than the new We-Vibe Tango X, which has a more comfortable silicone handle.


Cleaning


Cleaning Rating 9.0 10.0

Waterproof Rating IPX6 IPX7

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.

The We-Vibe Tango is completely waterproof, making it easy to clean. You can submerge the Tango in soapy water and scrub away without worry of water damage.
