Of all the sex toys I have amassed during my tenure as a reviewer, I had yet to add one of the true staples of the toy box to my personal collection. The bullet vibe. The small, single speed little buzzer that fit discreetly into my pocket. That’s what I thought I was getting when the Chill Pill was added to the list of toys on their way. But was I wrong! This big blue pill-shaped vibe is anything but its mini friend the bullet vibe.
While it maintains the same shape as a bullet, the Chill Pill is about 3 or 4 times the size of any bullet I’ve ever seen. It also has multi-speed capabilities, where a regular old bullet only has one. Like some Fun Factory toys that we’ve tried, the Chill Pill has a wheel controller that lets you adjust the speed by turning it slightly. Also like those Fun Factory toys, this one has a grippy pattern on the controller part to make it easy to speed up or down, even with lube-y fingers. In fact, the whole vibe is pretty easy to hold on to. It’s made of hard plastic that has a bit of a textured feel that is enough to keep a good grip on. And while it is made of plastic and not my beloved silicone, the Chill Pill is still phthalate free and won’t harm your sensitive bits.
Power-wise the Pill is impressive. The vibrations are strong and I liked that I could grind against the firm plastic casing for even more of a thrill. And with the vibrations being so strong, I was really happy that it was a bigger toy so I could penetrate myself a little bit and still keep my good grip. That 1.5” width totally made my day. I thought with such power that the toy would be loud, but no, once it went below the covers, I barely heard a sound. Very convenient since I have a roommate.
The battery issue is my ultimate downside to my little pill. N batteries. Yeah, I never heard of them either and I sure as hell don’t keep any in the house. Luckily the manufacturers thought ahead and added two N batteries to the pack. I love that it comes with them, but seriously guys, can you please make toys that call for common batteries? Watch batteries and hearing aid batteries are bad enough, but I don’t want to have to Google up the closest Radio Shack when my power runs low. No one wants to run around town hoping to find the right batteries for their dead sex toy.
All in all, the Chill Pill is a decent, good quality vibe. It’s an economically priced mid-size vibe that will get the job done without all the added lights and shiny attachments that other toys include. It may not be the fanciest toy I’ve got in my box, but reliable is what I look for and with the Chill Pill, I know that’s what I’m getting.
Take a Chill Pill of your own!
