Calypso 1 Vibrating Bullet

Belonging to California Exotic Novelties’ most luxurious adult toy lines, the Couture Collection, the Calypso 1 vibrating bullet provides reliable performance and a high powered buzz, while still embodying everything that is elegant and understated.

Description and Materials

The demure, narrow egg-shaped bullet wears a velvety soft, high grade silicone sheath that’s delicately ribbed in the middle of its body and measures 2.5 inches (6 cm) long by 1 inch (3 cm) wide. The bullet has an ample two feet long cord and connects to an ABS plastic power pack whose faceplate bears an elegant motif that is color-coordinated with the bullet; it is also ergonomically shaped and comfortable to hold. The luminous, two button control pad and battery compartment are contained therein. The Calypso 1 can be used in or out of the water and requires two AAA batteries to operate, which are not included with purchase.

How it Works

The Calypso 1 sports an attractive faceplate and well-crafted user interface with buttons that require only the slightest touch to engage. One push button control serves as an on/off button, while the other cycles through the powerful, seven functions of vibration, escalation, and pulsation. What’s unusual about this particular bullet vibrator is that its switches not only light up when the unit is turned on - they blink, synchronized to the vibration pattern that’s currently in use. The Calypso 1 is waterproof, so it may be submerged in water as long as the battery cap is securely fastened.

Audibility

The Calypso 1 is so ultra-quiet that it’s a wonder the manufacturer didn’t put this attribute at the top of the toy’s best features list. When set to its most intense vibration function, the bullet’s sound is still only minimally audible; at its gentler patterns, the sound is barely a whisper. The Calypso’s sound is so muted that self-satisfaction is possible in virtually any situation – wherever you may be!

Packaging & Storage

The manufacturer did an excellent job of combining simplicity and good taste in its packaging. The thin cardboard container is colorfully illustrated and highlights features and benefits, as well as recommendations for care and maintenance. It also shows multiple photos of the toy; it’s not completely discreet, but it is better than if it had scantily clad porn stars and strippers on the cover, like some. Instead of being sealed in plastic, the toy comes in a bag made of foam-like material that can be reused as a storage satchel, though it’s probably not durable enough for long term use.

Cleaning & Maintenance

For optimal hygiene and performance, the Calypso 1 should be washed before and after every use - and since the bullet is waterproof, cleaning is a snap. Your best bet is to wash it in a combination of warm water and antibacterial soap, then pat dry. Ensure that the toy is completely dry before storing it and only leave in the two AAA batteries for the duration of play. Finally, use only water-based lubricant with this product, as silicone based varieties can degrade the toy’s surface.

Critique

The beauty of a traditionally shaped bullet vibrator is virtually pinpoint precision, but a broader, more bulbous version such as the Calypso 1 spreads the buzz over a larger surface area, changing the experience entirely. Clitoral stimulation becomes slightly less exact than you’d experience when using a conventional bullet, but the good news is that the customary high powered buzz that goes along with it - which often serves as a turn off for more sensitive individuals - get slightly toned down with a bullet style such as this one. The benefit? Climax gets delayed just long enough for users to be able to enjoy a few extra minutes of this vibe’s fantastically tuned pleasure patterns, which you can easily feel resonating throughout the toy’s body.

In addition to the Calypso 1’s innovative style and well-crafted engineering, it is odorless and operates very quietly. Its waterproofing is also effective. No moisture was found in the battery chamber even after submerging the entire toy in water for one minute intervals. The key to keeping the chamber dry is to snap the compartment closed correctly. The trick is to slide the lid on as far as it will go and hold it down while snapping the latch to its closed position.

Long Term Appeal

You won’t get tired of the Calypso 1’s rhythmical pulsations. Thanks to its hygienic components, excellent performance and good looks it could easily become your favorite go-to bullet vibrator.

Value

This bullet’s excellent features make it definitely worth the purchase. Based on its functionality and durability thus far, it is also likely that it will operate well into the future.

Final Thoughts

The Calypso 1 has multiple speeds, numerous functions, and plays well on land and in the water. An excellent buy! We rate it 8.5/10.
