Vaginal Sex Toys Arouser PlusOne Suction

My verdict

The plusOne Air Pulsing Arouser is marketed as an air pulse clitoral stimulator. But in my experience, it doesn’t live up to that claim. Unlike similar products in this category, the plusOne Air Pulsing Arouser lacks actual pulsing functionality. Instead, it’s essentially a vibrator with a clitoris-friendly shape. While there are positives – such as ergonomic design and gentle sensations – it falls short in several areas. The waterproof claim is misleading, as submerging it in water noticeably impacted its performance. Cleaning is also challenging, as fluids can easily get trapped in the rim and charging port. Typically priced around $45 USD, it’s an affordable option for those who want to venture beyond a traditional bullet vibrator. However, it doesn’t deliver the distinct sensations I’d expect from a proper air pulse device. I’d recommend investing a little more money for a higher-quality product that genuinely offers what it claims.

Pros: Ergonomic shape; Affordable price; Low battery indicator

Cons: Not a true air pulse toy; Difficult to charge and clean; Durability in water

Design

The ergonomic design of the plusOne Air Pulsing Arouser is one of its strongest features. Its rounded, slightly bulky shape fits snugly into the palm of your hand, requiring minimal effort to hold it in place. While the shape is well-suited for basic use, its larger, bulkier design makes it slightly awkward for partnered play. For example, I tried to use it with my wife, but keeping it positioned correctly for both of us required a lot of adjustment and careful maneuvering. That said, the design does lend itself to creative use. Flipping the device around allowed for broader, less focused stimulation across my vulva.

Experience

00:22

Using the plusOne Air Pulsing Arouser is straightforward. A long press of the power button turns the device on, while quick presses cycle through the intensity levels. Despite being advertised as having five levels, it offers four levels of intensity and one pulsating pattern. The “warming up” method suggested by plusOne – holding the device a few centimeters from the clitoris – was ineffective for me. The airflow wasn’t strong enough to feel anything beyond the buzzing in my hand. The “full throttle” method, where the opening seals around the clitoris, provided more noticeable sensations, but it still fell short of what I expected from an air pulse toy. Unlike similar products, like the Satisfyer Traveler, the plusOne doesn’t create a suction feeling. Instead, the vibrations are diffused, offering a unique sensation but not the oral sex-like experience that some might expect. The third suggested use – reversing the toy so the handle rests over the labia – was pleasant but made it difficult to grip properly.

Quality

Overall, the plusOne Air Pulsing Arouser’s quality is totally acceptable. But, as someone who loves to masturbate in the bath, the durability in water was a major issue. Despite its waterproof label, submerging it in the bath caused problems. Afterwards, the device became much noisier and rattled a bit, almost as if water was still deep inside. No matter how many positions I tried to dry it in, it didn’t help. I think it’s better suited for dry use or light shower play.

Price

Typically retailing between $35-50 USD, the plusOne Air Pulsing Arouser is an option for those curious about clitorial stimulation without the steep price tags of higher-end brands like Womanizer. However, given its limitations, it doesn’t feel like great value for money. That said, the accessibility of plusOne products is a huge benefit. Their products are sold in major retailers like Walmart and Target, so you don't need to plan a trip to a traditional sex shop. All plusOne products also include a 2-year limited warranty.

Performance

The plusOne Air Pulsing Arouser has a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which was an immediate plus for me. The battery life is decent, offering enough time for a few sessions on a full charge. The low battery indicator was also a distinguishing feature, as I haven't seen this on many other toys. However, the flimsy magnetic USB cable makes charging the device a hassle. It detaches easily, so you'll need to check frequently to ensure it's connected. While the absence of a wall plug is standard for sex toys, it's worth noting if you're a first-time buyer.

Packaging

The plusOne Air Pulsing Arouser comes complete with a charging cable, instruction manual, and a storage bag. The storage bag was a highlight for me as many sex toys, even premium ones, don't provide this (but they should).

Materials and care

The device is made from 100% silicone and is light, bubblegum pink. The material is compatible with water-based lubricants. Cleaning the Air Pulsing Arouser is challenging. The inside of the opening has a couple of small holes where the air comes out, and the area around the charging port has several tiny crevices. These areas can trap fluids and breed bacteria if not thoroughly cleaned and honestly felt unhygienic.

Satisfyer One Night Stand: Why I Can’t Recommend This Single-Use Toy
As someone who genuinely loves Satisfyer products and their air pulse technology, it pains me to say that I can’t recommend the One Night Stand. While it’s designed as a budget-friendly entry point ($13 USD) to entice new users, its one-time-use approach is incredibly wasteful and irresponsible. One Night Stand is made of plastic and silicone, with batteries permanently sealed inside, and the disposal instructions are vague and hidden deep in the user guide. I’d much rather see Satisfyer offer a lower-cost reusable model that prioritizes accessibility and environmental responsibility.

BMS Factory 3-Speed PowerBullet: My Favorite Impulse Purchase
I usually don't pay much attention to the small products by the cash register, but in this case, I'm so glad I did. The 3-Speed PowerBullet is a solid choice for beginners or anyone looking to enhance their toy collection without spending much. It's small, versatile, and surprisingly powerful for its size, with three speeds that deliver rumbly vibrations. While the design isn't perfect—its size can make it tricky to handle, and the vibrations linger in your fingers—it works well when paired with other toys like dildos or harnesses. The included LR44 batteries last a while, but I'd recommend the rechargeable version if you can afford the small price jump. Overall, it's a reliable, no-frills mini vibrator that gets the job done.

Womanizer Classic: It’s a Classic For a Reason
When I bought an erotic advent calendar in 2021, I wasn’t expecting much in terms of quality. But on the last day, I unwrapped the Womanizer Classic – and it’s been a reliable go-to ever since. If you’re someone who enjoys external clitoral stimulation, this toy is definitely worth considering.

LELO SORAYA 2: A Luxurious Dual-Stimulation Experience
The SORAYA 2 is a high-quality, dual-stimulation vibrator that delivers a unique experience, especially with its various settings and ergonomic design. It’s powerful and luxurious, but it has a learning curve and can be a bit tricky to use due to its stiffness and broad tip. Overall, it’s worth the investment if the design suits your body, and I’d recommend waiting for a sale if you’re on the fence about the high price.
