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 Touch X has an excellent power range with soft, moderate, and strong settings. Its top power is a 7.75 out of 10 vibration strength. While not as extreme as some, it’s more than enough power for most people.

The Touch X’s gentlest setting is just 1.5 out of 10 vibration strength, so it begins softly enough for those overstimulated by intensity or who need a warmup. And it climbs gradually through its 8 power levels. There are no large, uncomfortable leaps. Since it thoroughly covers the soft, moderate, and powerful ranges, you’ll likely find vibration levels you enjoy – regardless of whether you prefer mild or powerful stimulation.

I enjoy each power level and usually orgasm on one of the top two settings. Its highest strength of 7.75 is effective without feeling overwhelming. I typically don’t use the higher settings of my stronger bullet and mini vibrators because I find power levels above 9 too intense.

Consider the FemmeFunn Booster Bullet or Blush Limited Addiction if you prefer extreme intensity. However, none of the extremely powerful bullet or mini vibrators I’ve tested have gentle warmup levels (or rumbly vibrations like the Touch X). The Touch X’s more comprehensive power range is better for most people.

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.

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

The We-Vibe Touch X has great rumbliness. The first 5 power levels are rumbly and provide that resonant, impactful stimulation that travels deeper than buzzy vibes. I love that the starting powers are so low-frequency because they feel gentle on the surface, so my clit is not overstimulated. But they travel deep and warm up my body for more intense vibrations.

And the Touch never becomes buzzy – even on its max power. The top 3 settings are neutral (neither rumbly nor buzzy). This adds a kick to those higher power levels that you feel more at the surface of your clit. I love neutral vibrations at this strength. It’s part of why the Touch X is one of my favorite mini vibrators. But if extreme rumbliness is your top priority, the We-Vibe Tango X is even more rumbly.

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 Touch X provides broad stimulation. This widespread contact is great if you want direct clitoral stimulation, but you’re also prone to overstimulation. This broad surface area is the only way I can enjoy direct clitoral vibrations because the pressure is more diffuse.

This rumbly vibrator blankets your vulva with soft, smooth silicone. The firm core of this toy allows you to apply some pressure over a wider area. Or you can use the flexible tip to target a more precise spot comfortably.

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 Touch X is very comfortable and easy to use. The wide, flat design fits comfortably in my hand, and I can easily push it against my vulva with my palm. Even though it has more contact with my hand than bullet-shaped toys, the vibrations only travel minimally into my hand since the plush silicone dampens them. So it’s very comfortable to hold.

As a palm vibrator, there’s not an obvious handle as bullet or wand vibrators have. So leveraging the Touch X for heavy pressure is less intuitive. You may need to adjust your finger placement or grip on the vibrator to apply substantial pressure. Those who enjoy especially firm pressure may consider a mini wand vibrator like the Magic Wand Mini. 

But I enjoy gentle to medium pressure with the Touch X’s broad contact area – and this is easy to apply with your palm.

The Touch X’s buttons provide fantastic control. It has 3 buttons to increase and decrease power or move through its 6 vibration patterns. So you can quickly reach your preferred setting. This is much more convenient than the one-button system most mini and bullet vibrators use, which requires you to cycle through every intensity level and pattern to return to a previous setting. This is another way the Touch X improved on the old model.

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.

The We-Vibe Touch X is awesome to use during sex. 

The Touch X’s tip is thin and curves downward slightly. And although its shape is relatively wide, it’s also contoured and reasonably flat. These aspects help it slip easily into tight spaces despite being bigger than many bullet vibrators. It maintains excellent contact with my clit, even in positions where space is limited, like Missionary.

It presses comfortably on my body, and the rumbly vibrations travel deep to stimulate me well. With a classic-shaped bullet vibrator, I spend more time trying to find a comfortable and effective placement. But the broader, flat surface of the Touch X blankets everything and eliminates the need to find the exact right spot.

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 Touch X is exceptionally discreet. It’s one of my quietest vibrators, which is especially impressive considering its high power.

My partner cannot hear it from the other side of the bedroom door when I’m using it on any power level or setting. And even from within the room, the sound is so subtle that even the most noise-sensitive folks will find this one hardly detectable.

When measuring noise, the We-Vibe Touch X was one of the only bullets or mini vibrators that was too quiet for our Sound Level Meter to measure. On its highest power, the Touch X remained quieter than the ambient background noise of the room itself. So, the 35 dB listed above is the ambient room noise. To measure the actual decibels, we will need a quieter testing studio.

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 Touch X is rechargeable and has a good battery life, lasting 85 minutes on high power during our testing. This is plenty for me, and I typically use it several times without charging between uses.

It uses We-Vibe’s standard magnetic USB charging cable, which is the same across almost all their current products.

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 Touch X has superb build quality. It’s covered entirely in silky smooth silicone. The silicone is thicker and more plush than other vibrators, especially near the tip. This makes it feel especially comfortable and luxurious. It still has a solid, rigid body beneath the silicone with a good weight that feels sturdy and durable. The buttons are also easy to press and feel well-made.

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 Touch X is 100% waterproof, making it very easy to clean. You can submerge this toy completely while you scrub it with soap and water! And, of course, you can use it in the bathtub or shower.
