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.

  • 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.

    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.

    CalExotics French Kiss Review: Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir? ♪

    This lip-locking sensual sucker is the best kisser in town! To semi quote Diageo from Silicon Valley... "This toy fuuucks!" *mind blown emoji lol* CalExotics French Kiss is hands down my favorite CalExotics toy thus far! My favorite part of the CalExotics' Jack Rabbit was the ticklishly tantalizing ears, and that's now been combined with the sucking sensation I've "come" to enjoy from toys like the Satisfyer Mission Control and Romp Lipstick... Merci for the toy I never knew I was missing out on lol. This beautiful toy has the poise of the INYA Rose but is bit better in several ways. It has 12 totally fuckable functions, two interchangeable heads, a travel lock setting, a memory chip and can be submersed in water... Can you say... "Ooo la la!" xD

    Inya: The Rose Review - I've Been Kissed By A Rose ♫♪

    This is the type of flower you should ask for or receive when your partner wants to say sorry or just wants to surprise you! It's a flower that'll last you a lifetime and it's a gift that keeps on giving! Don't be fooled by its size, it packs quite the punch even on its lowest setting, and there are 6 others you can explore (mix of steady and pulsing)! If you're a bit on the sensitive side like me, the 45 minute use span might last an eternity as the intensity drove me crazy in under a minute and I was definitely done in under 5. ;P Its inconspicuous design allows you to leave it out in the open for easy access, or carry it around without issue. Simply tell people it's a rose shaped speaker or whatever you can imagine!

    Satisfyer Pro+ G-Spot - G-Spot Meets Air Pulse... But Do They Actually Get Along? 🤔

    The Satisfyer Pro + G-Spot wants to be your all-in-one pleasure solution. On paper, it ticks a lot of boxes: internal and external stimulation, powerful vibes, strong suction, dual motors, waterproof design... sounds great, right? And while it can absolutely deliver orgasms, it’s got a few hurdles to jump before it gets you there. This toy feels like an ambitious group project where not all the team members are on the same page. The air pulse suction? Strong and effective. The internal vibrations? Deep and rumbling. But when it comes to doing both at once — especially on your anatomy? It doesn’t always work out. The shaft is hard and not very forgiving, and the alignment between your G-spot and clit has to be just right for the toy to shine. If it lands in that sweet spot for you, congrats! You’ve found a great little dual-action vibe at a good price. But if not? It can quickly become frustrating, uncomfortable, or just... not worth the effort. We had our moments with it, sure. But it never made it into our regular rotation. The design limits flexibility, and the rigid build doesn’t help. It’s solid for solo play, but loses its spark for couple sessions — and don’t get us started on all that unnecessary plastic in the packaging. 😑

    The Lovehoney ROMP Switch Was Almost Too Much – Which Is a Good Thing!

    Lovehoney's ROMP Switch is a powerful little Clitoral Suction Stimulator before you even move too far through the 6 intensity levels it has. Being battery-operated, you don't have to worry about charge times. According to the box, you have a good 300 minutes of playtime with one set of batteries, and it only requires two AAAs. If you're looking for clitoral stimulation that is sure to get you off, this is the "switch" you'll want to make.
