My verdict
The plusOne Dual Vibrating Massager packs a lot of power for its price. My partner originally purchased it before we got together, and while it’s not a match for my rumbly preferences, I can see why it’s a favorite. The flexible design, waterproof build, and dual motors make it versatile, but the intensely buzzy vibrations turned me off. But it’s a solid choice for anyone seeking intense sensations on a budget.
- Pros
- Budget-friendly
- Flexible build
- Waterproof and easy to clean
- Cons
- Vibrations are intensely buzzy
- Performance drops with battery life
- Magnetic charging port is finicky and unique to the brand
Design
The plusOne Dual Vibrating Massager is a bright pink color, which is the only option available. The shape and tip shape are well-designed, with a sleek and ergonomic take on the classic rabbit shape. The shaft is extremely flexible, which is a huge plus – it makes penetration easier and allows for more comfortable use in multiple positions, even with a partner.
However, depending on your body shape, aligning the external arm with your clitoris can be tricky when lying down, especially if your clitoris is smaller or less protruding. Using it while standing in the shower helped me get the positioning right.
Experience
As a technologist, I was curious to see how the dual motors of the plusOne Dual Vibrating Massager would feel. The design sounded promising, but I quickly discovered that you can’t control the motors separately – it’s all vibration, all the time. I usually prefer penetration without vibration while enjoying clitoral stimulation, so this lack of control was a downside for me (but not surprising given the price).
The overall sensation is much stronger than other vibrators I’ve used. It’s clear this toy was designed for people who enjoy high-frequency, intense, and buzzy vibrations. Unfortunately, those vibrations were too much for me, as all the settings felt overly powerful, with little variation in strength. There are 10 vibration modes, including pulsing and vacillating patterns, which provide some customization, but I wish there were more options beyond just changing the patterns. If you prefer slower, rumbly sensations, this isn’t the toy for you.
On a positive note, the silicone feels soft and high-quality, and the toy is fully waterproof, which adds some versatility. The device is also easy to operate with just one button. Press and hold for three seconds to turn it on or off, and use quick presses to cycle through the 10 vibration modes.
Price
At $35 USD on the plusOne website, the Dual Vibrating Massager is very affordable – almost surprisingly so, given that it has two motors. That low price point likely explains why the vibrations are only intense and buzzy rather than offering a broader range of sensations.
One major benefit of plusOne products is their accessibility. You can find them at major retailers like CVS, Walmart and Target, so there’s no need to visit a traditional sex shop. For the price, it’s a great option for someone seeking a budget-friendly dual-motor vibrator, even if it sacrifices some refinement in its vibration settings.
Performance
The performance of the Dual Vibrating Massager was a mixed bag for me. The magnetic charging port – while not my favorite – works better here than on other plusOne toys, thanks to the placement. That said, the magnetic charger still feels finicky and can easily disconnect if bumped, which is frustrating. It’s also not compatible with any other chargers if it gets lost or breaks.
Once fully charged, the toy performs well, delivering noticeably stronger and more intense vibrations. However, the performance drops off significantly when the battery starts to get low. The motors slow down a lot. Honestly, this was the only way I could use the toy because otherwise, it would be too intense – but if you’re buying it because it’s powerful, this would be disappointing.
Packaging
Before we got together, my partner bought the Dual Vibrating Massager in 2019, so I didn’t experience the unboxing firsthand. I checked the plusOne website for reference, and the toy comes with a USB charging cable and an instruction manual. I was disappointed that it doesn’t come with a storage bag, unlike other plusOne products.
Materials and care
The plusOne Dual Vibrating Massager is made from 100% body-safe silicone and pairs well with water-based lubricants. It’s also waterproof, making it very easy to clean. The spacing between the shaft and the arm provides plenty of room to ensure thorough cleaning, but you need to be more mindful around the charging port. Its crevices can be trickier to sanitize and may be more susceptible to bacteria if not cleaned properly.
All plusOne toys come with a 2-year limited warranty.
