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
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.

  • plusOne Dual Vibrating Massager: Intense Vibrations at an Affordable Price

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Funzze Double-ended Bunny Vibrator Review: Twice the fun!

    I had a lot of fun with this toy! It was definitely something different. I think something that really stands out about this toy is how bendy and flexible it is. You can get creative with your solo and partnered play. Also, the color!? So cute. I love the mint green they went with.

    Venice Vixen Review: Baby Why Don't We Go Down to KoKomo ♪

    Gotta get the usual puns/jokes and comments out of the way... Ready to get down and dirty in the sand?! Talk about fun in the sun! Sex on the beach anyone? Okay, got that out of my system... CalExotics Venice Vixen is my favorite "all in one" toy by CalExotics thus far as it's internally and externally stimulating at the same time. Compared to the Jack Rabbit it feels better built and high quality, with a different and personally more preferred shaft shape. The best thing about the Jack Rabbit was the ears, which in all honest I prefer to have over the encaser the Venice Vixen has to offer as they are just... more invigorating. Incase you're wondering and want an easy summation of features, the CalExotics Venice Vixen has 10 clitoral encaser modes, 3 shaft intensities, a use time of 45 min on high and 150 on low, a charge time of 150 mins, and though no IPX rating is officially provided it claims it's waterproof.

    Tracy's Dog Beta: Powerful Suctions & Vibrations all in One

    We LOVE this toy! The blending of the suction with the vibration is spot on, and not only that, it is not a regular vibration, but the textured shaft moves in the iconic 'come hither' motion which presses on just the right spots. Just a warning for those with a sensitive clit though: this toy sucks HARD. Even on the lowest setting we need to use it gently. Speaking of settings, there are three suction settings: strong, stronger and strongest. The insertable portion has 10 vibration and movement patterns but quite honestly some of them are weird. We wife prefer the straight forward vibration witht he fingering motion. The combination of the suction and the shaft make for mind blowing orgasms and I'd lie if I said it was a long ride. Let's just say I don't pick this toy if we want to take it slow...

    Keep Your FInger on The Pulse with the Swan | Simple and True Extra Touch Finger

    What’s small, pink, and turns your hand into a playground of possibilities? The Swan Finger, of course. This is one of those toys that can easily be a staple in everyday sexcapades. Staying with the swan theme, this finger glove is long, like a swan's neck, and mimics the look and feel of a finger to a tee. It slides on almost any finger (all my digits on both hands and my partner's were a win). It's easy to slip on and inserts really smoothly, thanks to that soft-touch silicone. The slightly curved shape and flexible build give your regular finger the extra boost it needs to stimulate both the A and G spots, and it even worked well for anal fingering (more advanced toy users are going to like this one). Although free from the tech element, it didn’t drop a beat. There’s even a textured base that hits the clit, so you get internal and external stimulation. The Swan Finger’s simplicity is its strength—a hands-on experience you would want to try.

    Womanizer Pro 40: The Suctions Will Leave you Aching for More

    The Womanizer Pro 40 was the first suction toy that we got for our collection and it was a favorite from the get go. The fact that it doesn't have pattern variations is not a con for us and the simplicity and ease of use makes it perfect for beginners and those new to this type of toy. Although suction toys can be 'too much' if you are sensitive, we did not find this to be so with the Pro 40. The suctions are rumbly and start off low enough that even for a sensitive person, this was easy to scale up a level or two from the get go. This toy is more on the weightier side and it is larger than we originally expected, but don't get me wrong, this is no downside as the size makes it easy to hold and the shape makes it easy to use with fingers, other insertable vibrators/toys or can be used with penetration too which makes for some fun times. All in all, this toy is a good purchase and one that we as a couple would 110% recommend to anyone out there. It is a premium toy made from premium materials and it is not 'cheap' but not too expensive either. We do feel, however, that at this price point they could at least include a bag... (pro tip: you can use this on your man too. lube up and place it on and around the frenulum. Mind blowing...)

    Lovense Nora’s No-Filter Pleasure: The Dual Vibrator That Delivers Like No Other

    If you’re after a toy that ticks all the boxes, the Lovense Nora Dual Vibrator is it. First off, let’s talk about how it feels—silky smooth, body-safe silicone on the arms that glides like a dream, and a glossy plastic handle that’s easy to grip and fully water-resistant for fuss-free cleaning. The design is classic dual stimulation but with some seriously innovative upgrades that set it apart. Nora is powered by two independent motors: one in the 4.7-inch insertable, curved shaft for precise G-spot stimulation and another in the clitoral arm, which vibrates and moves simultaneously or separately depending on your preference. The G-spot shaft doesn’t just vibrate—it rotates, mimicking a “come-hither” motion for extra-targeted pleasure. Meanwhile, the clitoral arm is very flexible, so it fits snugly against your body without feeling rigid or uncomfortable. Together, the motors create a wave of sensations that feel intensely satisfying in the best way. Control is completely in your hands—or your partner’s. The Lovense app lets you customize vibration patterns, adjust intensity, and even sync it to your favorite playlist (yes, it vibes to the beat!). You can also save your favorite patterns for quick access later. And for an interactive twist, it’s sound-activated, responding to noises around you like moaning, which adds a whole new layer of fun. Got a partner across the world? No problem—the long-distance control feature works seamlessly in real-time for shared pleasure. On the practical side, it’s USB rechargeable and gives you over 4 hours of playtime on a full charge. It has no visible buttons on the main body (except an optional directional control for the shaft), it’s sleek, modern, and app-only for effortless play. While it’s a bit of a splurge, the Nora’s versatility, premium build, and cutting-edge features make it worth every penny.

    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.
