UPDATE: APRIL 2020: The FunFactory Fly Micro Vibe is no longer in production. This review remains as information for those who are seeking information about this silicone bullet vibrator.
The Fly Micro Vibe is a small silicone sleeve and bullet vibrator made by Fun Factory. The vibrator uses watch batteries, and is available in a pink and blue color. The bullet inside the silicone sleeve is a plastic bullet, and the bullet includes three different power levels. The bullet is removable from the silicone sleeve with some effort, and the bullet is waterproof as well.
Like most FunFactory toys, the Fly Micro Vibe has a small grey and maroon box that functions as packaging. Inside this little box, you’ll find a plastic pull-out tray that has the sex toy sitting in it. This packaging is larger than the sex toy itself, so you may want to recycle the packaging instead of keeping it around for storage. The box also comes with instructions about how to use the Fly Micro Vibe.
The design of the Fun Factory Fly Micro Vibe is pretty basic. It’s a silicone sleeve, and the plastic bullet that’s included slides right into the sleeve. The sleeve, where the bullet is not “inside” it (towards the tip) is pretty flexible, and it will bend really easily because the plastic bullet isn’t holding it straight up. The button is very easy to reach from the bottom of the vibrator while the silicone sleeve is on, and if you want to easily remove and place the bullet vibrator into the silicone sleeve, I do recommend putting a dab of lubricant into the sleeve first – the sleeve can hold onto things really tightly if you don’t. The sleeve also features a couple flower designs on the outside of it, but the flowers will probably not much for external use. If you insert them, they’re still pretty hard to feel.
The Fly Micro Vibrator uses 3 watch batteries. The first set of batteries is included right in the vibrator, but you will have to remove the piece of paper in the battery compartment to be able to use the vibrator for the first time. The batteries go in really easily, and the batteries can be taken out very easily as well.
The vibrations are kinda neat on this. The vibrations from the bullet itself are pretty buzzy on the skin. However, when the bullet is inserted into the sleeve, the vibrations seem to get a bit deeper. The silicone actually doesn’t “muffle” the vibrations all that much, and you can feel the vibrations of the bullet at the tip of the toy. The vibrations won’t be all that good for those that like pressure (when using the sleeve) because, when pressure is applied when using the sleeve, the vibrations do get much, much softer. The vibrations are extremely quiet, though, and with music on my computer, I can’t hear the vibrator when it’s sitting in my lap on loud. It certainly couldn’t be heard outside of a closed door.
For use, the Fly Micro Vibe works alright if softer vibrations are your thing. Because of the flexibility of the tip of the silicone sleeve, the vibrating bullet doesn’t tend to work the best if you enjoy strong pressure because the sleeve bends before pressure gets applied. For more discreet pleasure or just to play with something that’s quiet and soft for teasing, though, the Fly Micro Vibrator can end up working okay.
To clean this small vibrator, you just use warm water and antibacterial soap. The bullet vibrator is waterproof, and you can easily clean the two parts separately. It’s only compatible with water-based lubricant, and because of the small size, this vibrator fits very easily into a condom for multiple-person use.
Overall, the Fly Micro Vibrator is going to be an okay choice for those who are alright with a weaker vibrator. The vibrations probably are not enough to get most women to orgasm, but that’s exactly the type of vibration that some people prefer. The silicone sleeve feels really nice on the skin, and the design makes this really cute. Plus, it’s pretty quiet!
