Power vs Frequency Graph
How Strong Is Each Power? 

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.

The press-and-hold button allows for incremental power adjustments – it provides better control than one-button, tap to cycle through options

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.

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.

The We-Vibe Tango with stronger alternatives, the Blush Limited Addiction (middle) and FemmeFunn Ultra Bullet (right)

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)

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 We-Vibe Tango X (right) is the only option that’s more rumbly than the Pillow Talk Racy (right) at the same strength. But it’s more expensive

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

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.

The newer version, the We-Vibe Tango X (right) is more rumbly than the original Tango (right)

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.


G-Spot Use


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.

Pillow Talk Racy Bendiness
The Pillow Talk Racy is flexible, which makes it especially comfortable for internal use

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!


Stimulation Precision


Stimulation Precision Medium Precise

Head or Tip Width 1.03 inches 0.67 inches
Tip Shape Rounded Lipstick

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.

Bullet Vibrator Tip Precision Levels
Examples of different precision levels in bullets and mini-vibrators

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 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.

Easy Leverage & Pressure 10.0 10.0

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

Pillow Talk Racy and Smaller Vibrators
The Pillow Talk Racy is one of my tallest bullet vibrators

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.

Pillow Talk Racy Hooked End and Long Handle
The Racy is very comfortable to grip and leverage due to the long handle and curved tip

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.

Pillow Talk Racy with Other Mini Vibrator Buttons
The one-button press-and-hold system allows incremental adjustments upward, but not downward. It provides more control than one button tap-to-cycle setups (Nu Sensuelle Point on left), but less control than multi-button setups like the We-Vibe Touch X on the right

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 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.

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.

Pillow Talk Flirty Compared to Pillow Talk Racy During Sex
The curved tip of the Pillow Talk Racy (right) helps it stay tighter against my chest than straight bullets like the Pillow Talk Flirty (left)

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 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

High Power Inaudible Audible
High Power with Box Fan Inaudible Inaudible
High Power with Music Inaudible Inaudible

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 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.

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 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 9.0 9.0

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.

Pillow Talk Racy Charging Hole and Pin

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 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

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.

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.
