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

ToyChats - Sex Toy Reviews with the Best Sex Toy Community Online!
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

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

ToyChats - Sex Toy Reviews with the Best Sex Toy Community Online!
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

ToyChats - Sex Toy Reviews with the Best Sex Toy Community Online!
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

ToyChats - Sex Toy Reviews with the Best Sex Toy Community Online!
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.

    Suction toys are my absolute fav! Doesn’t need to be fancy or anything special, in reality, the simpler the better! I guarantee I’d enjoy this one just as much. Plus.. pink! My favorite color.

    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

    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.

    Pure Envy Stephanie Review: She's Not My Type of Woman!

    I have to say Pure Envy has strange names for their toys, Serenity Stick, Stephanie, and Tiffany are not things I would ever call my toys. I don't even think I'd name them something masculine unless it was ironic or kinda funny like a large penis named Jerome or Billy Club. Fun fact, my very first actual dildo was named Big Poppa P because it was big and pink and I thought it was funny. I was highly uncomfortable with the thought of using it when I first got it and that name helped take the edge off a bit, but sleeping with a Stephanie... Naaaaaw. I can kiss an actual girl named Stephanie all day long, but still can't picture sleeping with one of any type, let alone one with such a funky smell! The Pure Envy Stephanie is the smelliest toy I've come across and yet I can't put my finger on what it is that it smells like... like freshly made Barbie accessories, or a failed attempt at smelly erasers.... just funky rubbery weird ass plastic odor. I've wiped it with a scented sanitary cloth, super scrubbed it, used it, super scrubbed it again and it still stinks like whatever weird plastic funk that is. The first time I opened the box was shocking... and thought it was burnt rubber but I don't know!! Regardless of her smell, Stephanie has 10 intensities and 10 modes, but it's her way or the highway as the two features aren't separately controlled like the Lovense Osci 3 but controlled by one button and cycle through a weird set of modes. The only enjoyable part for me personally was picking one of the first 3 settings and finding the intensity that felt the best. Her button layout annoys my OCD and Pure Envy seems to LOVE leaving information out on their site and in the manual as there is NO run time or charge time provided in the manual or on the site. I'm sure Stephanie might be the girl for someone out there, but she's definitely NOT my type.

  • Tracy's Dog Whalo Review & Comparison with OG 2

    Tracy's Dog Whalo Review & Comparison with OG 2

    Tracy's Dog Whalo is a cute clit "suction" vibrator that is affordably priced and beginner friendly. For the price point, it's a good toy and packs a good punch, but it's definitely a few steps down from Tracy's Dog iconic model the OG (and OG 2). As a more advanced user, Whalo wasn't quite right for me despite the fact that it is a good toy. I do think Whalo is great for beginner users and those who are curious about air pulse or "suction" vibrators, but to be clear: this is air pulsation, not true suction. I don't know that I would buy Whalo again, but I also recognize that I may not be the actual target demographic for this toy.

    Pure Envy Tiffany Review: I'm Having Breakfast WITH Tiffany!

    I'll say this, Tiffany's waaay better in bed than Stephanie in more ways than one! xD ;P Pure Envy's Tiffany is hung like a horse in comparison to Stephanie which is weird to type but accurate nonetheless lol. The shape is more phallic in nature which feels/fits more comfortably and has a single rotating thrust feature similar to Tracy's Dog Swirlii but not as intense. The air pulse feature is awesome and has 7 pulsating modes, which I prefer waaay more than the Ava Lolli's sucker. Pulsers are just so much better than suckers in my opinion. I LOOOOOVE that the two features are controlled by SEPARATE buttons, so you can experience one OR the other OR both with your choice of which mode it's in. One button for the thrust action and one for the pulser is just... right lol. The other awesome thing about Tiffany is she has a warming feature, which is.. pretty hot... in the sense that it's an enjoyable feature to have sometimes lol. She apparently likes baths, but I wouldn't 100% guarantee it as no actual IPX rating is provided anywhere, just a claim on the site that she can be submersed. If I had to sleep with a woman, Tiffany would be my gal. xD

    "FlapperFly" Amazon Wearable Panty Vibrator Review: Flutter Me Flappered

    For $24 you're getting the bare essentials, at least in this case. No fun add-ons or surprises like the others, save the fact that they were still kind enough to include the battery for the remote which is always awesome. Of the 5 I ordered, this one is the least comfortable and arousing, yet still capable of getting me to completion, albeit a much slower one than the others. That's not to say that it still couldn't set of fireworks for someone else! I just find that the 3 prior to this one did the job better for me personally. The upsides to this are the amount of features, remote, IPX7 rating, and aesthetic. The downsides are the fit, feel, longer charge, and the invasive feelings I experienced when setting up the app. As promised, here is the link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DZWV4F7B?ref_=ppx_hzod_title_dt_b_fed_asin_title_0_4

    Sync Up and Get Down: Lovense Nora Perfect for Partner Play

    The Lovense Nora is a well-designed rabbit vibrator that excels in interactive and solo play, making it a great choice for those who enjoy connected intimacy. While it has some drawbacks, including noise and charging issues, it’s still an impressive addition to any toy collection. Ideal for beginners seeking dual stimulation, but consider its limitations if you need strong, quiet vibrations.

    Unique G-Spot Stimulation That May Not Be for Everyone

    Osci 2 offers unique sensations for G-spotting that made me squirt but didn't offer orgasmic released. Perhaps more importantly, I don't think it necessarily felt good to use. However, it does offer interesting clitoral stimulation, and I hope Lovense considers a similar external toy.
