My verdict

Our Most Mixed Feelings Yet: Deep Vibes, Shallow Compatibility 😅 The Pulse III Duo was our first-ever couple’s toy — and we really wanted to love it. In theory, it’s a brilliant concept: two motors, two zones of stimulation, and that signature PulsePlate promising deep, thumping vibrations. And in solo use? It kind of lives up to the hype. Those pulses are intense, immersive, and offer a different kind of orgasm than most toys. But as a couples toy? Meh. It’s too bulky, the external motor doesn’t deliver enough for her, and trying to share space with it in the heat of the moment felt more clumsy than sexy. Add a battery that gave up early and a PulsePlate that short-circuits under pressure (literally), and you’ve got a toy that just didn’t stay in our rotation for long. Still, if you’re curious about the Pulse tech or love the idea of deep, slow solo sessions — there’s definitely something here for you. We just wish it had aged better and hit the mark on both sides of the Duo. Think the Pulse III Duo might still be for you? Keep reading — we break it all down, from first impressions to long-term love (or disappointment). 👀 And yes — forgive the photos. 😂 This toy’s been through some things with us. It may not be fresh out of the box, but hey, neither are we. 😅

Pros

Deep, rumbly stimulation
Great for edging or slow, focused orgasms
High-quality silicone and durable build
Fully waterproof & easy to clean 💦

Cons

Not actually hands-free, despite the design
External motor is weak and not great for partner use 😶
Bulky and awkward during couple’s play
Remote feels cheap and fragile
PulsePlate loses effectiveness with pressure over time
