Foreplay Flutters

The PlusOne Fluttering Arouser definitely stands out in the toy aisle—it’s one of those designs that catches your eye and makes you do a double take. Don’t worry, though; this isn’t a bad thing—it’s just unique enough to spark curiosity in all the right ways. While most clitoral toys tend to go for circular or cup-like shapes, PlusOne definitely thought outside the box here. Shaped like a mini saxophone, it’s wrapped in matte, body-safe silicone, that gives it a good grip. At the “J” end, there’s a little “mouth” with a flexible tongue sticking out, which is pretty bold and definitely leaves little to the imagination. The silicone itself feels nice—it’s smooth, and while it’s not the absolute softest, it’s still comfortable against the skin. The toy is light enough to flip around in any direction, but it also feels sturdy and well-made. It has a single button at the top for easy control of the on/off function and cycling through modes, and the charging port is conveniently located there as well.

The quality of the PlusOne Fluttering Arouser is solid, with some standout features. The body-safe silicone feels smooth and comfortable against the skin, which is always a good sign when it comes to intimate toys. It’s lightweight yet sturdy, which makes it easy to handle, whether for solo or partner play. The design feels well-made, and the flexible tongue adds a nice touch of realism to the experience. The rechargeable feature is convenient, and the magnetic charging port is a nice detail (though, this can be a little finicky if not aligned properly). Plus, the waterproof design means you can take it into the shower or bath, and clean it easily with no stress of wearing the the toy down. Overall its a durable toy that's lasting me more than a few cycles around the moon.

When I first tried the PlusOne Fluttering Arouser, I was immediately struck by how different it felt compared to other clit stimulators. (Whether that’s a good or bad thing is still up for debate.) Some days, I found myself reaching for it, while other days, I found myself turning away—mostly due to its lack of intensity. The combination of fluttering, flicking tongue and vibrations took me by surprise. The motion of the tongue is surprisingly realistic—almost too realistic, if you catch my drift. It mimics oral play really well, but the repetitive rhythmic motion starts to feel tiring after a while. Even with the 10 different vibration/pattern settings, I felt teased on a stretch. It didn’t always deliver that toe-curling "wow" moment, more like a casual “thanks for the good time. The lack of intensity puts it squarely in the foreplay category, which makes it easy to use solo before using other toys or with a partner. On the plus side, it’s waterproof and discreet—no obnoxious whirring or buzzing sounds to kill the mood. Quick tip: always use lube, even if you’re playing in water. It makes the toy glide effortlessly and adds an extra layer of sensation for a more enjoyable experience.

The PlusOne Fluttering Arouser definitely had some cool features, but it didn’t fully meet my expectations. I loved the unique design and the realistic flicking tongue, but I was hoping for more intensity. The patterns and vibrations just didn't hit the spot as well as I thought this kind of toy would. That said, it’s great for a slow, teasing build-up, so if that's your jam, this toy would definitely fully satisfy.

Like all PlusOne products, the Fluttering Arouser is super easy to clean and maintain. Most of the time, I just wipe it down with a toy cleaner, but on other days, it joins me in the bath and gets a good wash with warm water and mild soap. After that, I let it air dry, but if I’m in a hurry, a lint-free cloth does the trick for a quick dry. It's really low maintenance.

The Arouser comes in a straightforward, no-nonsense box. The packaging features a traditional flip-open design that gives you a clear glimpse of the toy. Inside, the toy is carefully placed in a molded plastic tray to keep everything in place. Along with the toy, you’ll find the charging cable and an instruction manual—practical, simple and efficient storage.

The PlusOne Fluttering Arouser comes in at around $34.99 on most retail platforms, including their official site. If it delivered the same punch as other clitoral stimulators or vibratos, I’d say the price is fair. But honestly, it feels more like a warm-up act—a little tease before the main event. For a 'pre-game' toy, the price feels a bit on the high side.
