Arcwave Ion: Sex Toy Review
Use the Arcwave Ion's delicious (but noisy) suction force to entice your trouser snake.
Welcome to the new Arcwave company's flagship product. Archive is a brand-new business that specializes in penile delights. WOW Tech, the firm that creates We-Vibe and Womanizer, is definitely knowledgeable about fantastic sex toys. Today's Arcwave Ion review will concentrate on their debut product.
It's a flagship product, too. The overdone "squishy fake vagina with some ridging" design is not necessary for the Arcwave Ion. The Arcwave Ion tries something completely different from the typical penis masturbation sleeve design. This has never been done before, literally.
What's that feeling? Pleasure Air is the name of it. The Womanizer toys and the We-Vibe Melt operate on the same fundamental idea. Using the force of suction (and physics!) Pleasure Air technology softly "sucks" the skin once the toy is in position. This sensation is entirely distinct from vibrations, and the Pleasure Air technology in the Arcwave Ion targets the frenulum, the most sensitive area of the entire penis. People who have never orgasmed before have even been known to use the frenulum as THE place to stimulate to achieve an orgasm.
The never-seen-before-in-penis-toys features don't stop there, even though they provide a new feeling. There are a ton of features in the Arcwave Ion that have never been seen in penis masturbation devices. Here's a quick look at some of the best:
Thoughtful Silence: When you're not using a sex toy, there's no reason to listen to its noise, and the Smart Silence option allows you to do just that. This feature, which is comparable to those in the Womanizer Premium, automatically switches off the toy when it isn't in contact with the penis. This lowers the Arcwave Ion's noise level and makes it a fantastic option when discretion is crucial. You can turn off this feature if you'd like.
Twist-to-Clean: When the silicone sleeve is in the way, reaching the Pleasure Air crevice and cleaning it can be challenging. This was resolved by Arcwave's Twist-to-Clean feature. It sounds just like that. After utilizing the Arcwave Ion, twist it while applying pressure to both sides, and the electronic components come off the waterproof sleeve. This implies that cleaning both sides independently is simple. Push them back together once you're finished.
DryTech: When the penis sleeve is inserted into the storage base, a tiny, cylindrical tube inside the base glides into it. DryTech packages can be inserted into this detachable hollow tube. While the Arcwave Ion is in its charging base, these DryTech packets—silica—remove moisture to keep it in optimal condition.
Charging Base: The Arcwave Ion's storage base doubles as a charging station. The Arcwave Ion's storage base sits flat with the charging wire attached, and the charging cord rests flat beneath it. While the lid is still on and everything is still covertly hidden, the Arcwave Ion's built-in charging lights will constantly inform you of the Ion's charge level. (Buttons on both sides of the case must be pressed simultaneously to remove the lid, minimizing unintentional discoveries by straying hands.)
After learning about some of the most amazing features of this cutting-edge toy, let's examine how effectively they functioned and go into the more in-depth aspects of the Arcwave Ion review.
How'd You Use It?
The Arctic Wave Ion feels "elevated" in comparison to other penile masturbation strokers. The majority of this can be attributed to its attributes. It goes far beyond the typical features of a penis vibrator and stroker sex toy. Only a small portion of the "elevation" represents the actual feeling. Using a stationary penis toy instead of the typical up-and-down stroking action used by most penis strokers is a very strange (and very distinct!) sensation.
My partner and I tried it together quite a few times after I let him try it a few times alone. This is our tale:
It's not the same. It's completely different. He claims that because it offers an entirely new experience that isn't in the same wheelhouse as Fleshlights and other penis-stroking sleeves, it's impossible even to compare them. It must be comparable to how challenging it would be for me to contrast air-suction clitoral stimulators with conventional wand-style vibrators.
According to him, the experience consists of two distinct sensations. The Pleasure Air suction feeling on the frenulum is the Arcwave Ion's main selling feature.
The Pleasure Air Suction is essentially Arcwave Ion's main selling point. You are familiar with the kind of sensation that the Pleasure Air suction spot offers if you have ever used an air suction toy such as the Womanizer Duo or the Satisfyer Love Triangle. The suction is mild. He was shocked by how enjoyable it was to place this suction, which happens to be on the frenulum, on a single point. To get an orgasm, you didn't have to "move" the object. Once it was in place, all he needed to get off was a light pull on the pleasure region.
Finding "the spot" was crucial, one of the main things that startled him. Once more, as someone who has a clitoris and vagina and has enjoyed air-suction toys for years, it was never easy to convey to him the significance of the object remaining in ONE PLACE after we had discovered it. He gets it now.
Finding the "sweet spot" to position the Arcwave Ion required much trial and error on his part. He discovered one area on his shaft where using the Ion hurt, while many others felt very neutral. However, he claims that his whole penis glowed with ecstasy after he discovered the "right" spot. When the Ion found the perfect place, it was an instant "on" switch, and he knew right once that it would be an orgasmic spot. He claims that while the "neutral" regions were still pleasant, they were not as enjoyable as the sweet spot. The magic takes place there.
The second sensation is the vibrations of the Pleasure Air suction's mechanics around the shaft. The wiggly silicone material is followed by these reverberations, which "envelop" the entire shaft in this sensation. It's not vibration.
He claims he would liken it to the "thrumming" sound of my Lora DiCarlo Ose 2 and Baci. It has a rich, subterranean, and incredibly satisfying feel. Additionally, those intense, pulsating feelings encircle the entire shaft as long as the Pleasure Air suction component is activated and your penis is engaged in the Arcwave Ion. When I asked him for more comments, he said, "Those are A+." A+, hands down. They play a significant role in what "makes" the toy.
Although he enjoys the feelings of the Arcwave Ion, he admits that occasionally, he doesn't think it's the ideal sensation for the moment. Since the Arcwave Ion is a stationary toy, he claims that sometimes he would much rather feel the physical sense of stroking up and down and exerting more effort into the pleasure. He also claims that this can be a stress-relieving experience.
He did admit that on days when he's exhausted, and the prospect of a consistently powerful orgasm with no work seems wonderful, he tends to lean more toward the Arcwave Ion. He enjoys having both choices depending on how he's feeling on any given day.
The noise was one thing for which we were unprepared! The Arcwave Ion has a Smart Silence feature for a reason: when it's not pressed up against a penis, it's incredibly, startlingly loud.
This problem is resolved with Smart Silence, as the toy shuts off on its own whenever it senses no pressure from the Pleasure Air. The Arcwave Ion's purr, when rubbed against the penis, is only around 20% of the entire loudness when it isn't pressed against anything. Therefore, you won't ever notice the loudness when Smart Silence is activated, which is the toy's default setting.
Like many other penis owners, my partner does not, however, have a perfectly straight penis. This indicates that his penis anatomy never reasonably fit the Arcwave Ion's perfectly straight shape. Because it only allows for width flexibility and not side-to-side flexibility, he had to always place himself into the Ion penis masturbator at an angle. Seldom did this angle cause the Pleasure Air function to be activated by the Smart Silence feature. He tried to "trick" the Smart Silence into actually activating the Pleasure Air features over several masturbation sessions, and he was extremely relieved when I informed him that he could turn off the Smart Silence option.
And his affection for the Arcwave Ion grew when he turned off the feature. He used to like it when it worked after spending hours attempting to "trick" it into working, but it generally shut off before he could "make it" anywhere. The toy was occasionally a little louder when the Smart Silence was off, but it was always working, and in a matter of seconds, he was on the verge of an orgasm.
As it happens, it was also not a party trick. As long as Smart Silence was turned off so the toy would consistently remain in place, he could effortlessly rise to orgasm with no movement in less than a minute on each subsequent use with the Arcwave Ion in that "just right" region. For my amusement, we timed it once. The entire process took 28 seconds.)
The Arcwave Ion hasn't even been utilized above 50% power settings. It's more than capable at the lower settings, and he's never desired to try anything more potent. Thus, this silicone sex toy's body is undoubtedly packed with strength!
The Arcwave Ion Smart Silence functions brilliantly and perfectly in every one of our tests using fingers and dildos. It appears to activate the Smart Silence as intended as long as the object or penis is straight. However, I would anticipate that to have a more dependable sexual encounter, you would need to switch off Smart Silence if your penis naturally curves.
How Else Could It Be Used?
There is no reason why you can't use the Arcwave Ion to stroke, even though we've conducted most of our experiments with it stationary (as intended). However, "stroke" is a broad phrase. You can't pull the Ion too far from the area on the penis to maintain the suction at the correct location. You can "stroke" like that, but tiny strokes move the Arcwave Ion a few millimetres at a time. But if you can keep the Arcwave Ion in the right place while simultaneously performing these tiny strokes, it's more than enough to feel the internal ribbing rubbing on the penis. Every time we've done it, it's been an instant orgasm. He claims that it triples the pleasure of the suction alone, and I have to assume that this is somewhat because his penis is accustomed to the sensation. (After that, he urges me to quit making assumptions about everything, so that's good.)
The Arcwave Ion could undoubtedly become a toy for a couple (if I used it on him), but during our testing, we discovered that it was challenging for me to pinpoint the "exact spot" where the toy felt orgasmic and maintain it there. He continues taking out the Arcwave Ion for solo use, and I adore watching him use it on himself as well. Usually, I've favoured some of our more active strokers for partnered sex toy use.
It feels like the Arcwave Ion might work great for hands-free orgasms because it seems to function well (and was made to be that way!) if you hold it in place and use it that way. We haven't been able to figure out a reliable way to anchor the Arcwave Ion to the body to maintain it in the correct position and induce orgasms without the need for hands. As long as it's in the proper location, it undoubtedly produces those "effortless" orgasms, but thus far, our attempts to leave it there hands-free have not worked. The Arcwave Ion, however, requires no actual movement once you get it in the correct position, so as long as you have one hand free, you can use it for pleasure while you're touching your partner. This is especially useful if the position makes it difficult to move your hand or body in a stroking motion.
Product Details
Through two distinct design decisions—an open-ended design and the use of stretchable silicone—the Arcwave Ion was created to fit a broad range of penis sizes.
You can utilize the Arcwave Ion regardless of the length of your penis because of its open-ended design. Penis length isn't a major deciding factor for using the Arcwave Ion anyhow, as the toy focuses mainly on the frenulum area.
A few additional words are needed for the second section, which is the stretchy silicone. You can see that the silicone part of the Arcwave Ion forms a cylinder around the location of the penis. The thicker half of the Arcwave Ion is considerably stiffer than the two silicone base sides closest to the plastic. They don't offer much flexibility or stretch, but based on my finger testing, they don't appear to press into the skin too much, even if your penis is enormous.
However, the silicone is far more flexible beyond the section that attaches closest to the thick foundation or plastic. It is easily able to extend around a thick penis and fold in on itself. And I mean "stretch" when I say it. It would fit, although it would be snug if your penis had a circumference of 2.5". We gave one of our dildos a try. However, the sleeve still feels tight (and needs lube to get into it) with smaller penises as well because the silicone "rests" at a fairly typical size. Apart from those as mentioned earlier "curved penis" problem, it's a relatively adaptable design that ought to accommodate a wide variety of penis sizes.
The Arcwave Ion's internal chamber still has some texture even though it was primarily made for stationary use. There is not-so-subtle ridging throughout the shaft. There is an open space or hole near the tip (by the frenulum) where the Pleasure Air function works.
Utilizing the micro-strokes we discussed previously, the ridging does offer some enjoyment and does make a difference. Additionally, it adds some pleasure during insertion. If you're feeling particularly ebullient that day, you can use the Arcwave Ion as a semi-regular "stroker" without the Pleasure Air feature.
As was already mentioned, the Arcwave Ion makes a lot of noise. Much of the noise is reduced by the Smart Silence. Only when the motor is pressed against the penis will you hear the quieted version of it when Smart Silence is activated? You can use the Arcwave Ion in a house with other people when Smart Silence is turned on, as long as the door is closed and there is a reasonable amount of noise coming from the house.
I strongly advise using the Arcwave Ion alone, without Smart Silence, only when you have the home to yourself—or, at the very least, while everyone else is many rooms away. When Smart Silence is turned on, the toy maintains well inside the normal range of acceptable sex toy sounds, but if you have to turn it off for extended periods, it's not a silent toy.
The Arcwave Ion produces a significant amount of power, more than we have ever required to create an orgasm. We've made a couple of attempts to ramp it up past half-power, but he cautions that doing so will cause an immediate orgasm. The Arcwave Ion has much power, even if it doesn't provide the sensations you're "accustomed" to.
I would assume that the power level of the suction and the consequent thrumming is more than sufficient for the majority of people, provided that your penis shape complements the Arcwave Ion's design and your frenulum enjoys the suction sensations.
How It Works
The power of suction is how the Pleasure Air function operates. When positioned correctly, the Arcwave Ion creates a mild "seal" against the skin, much like the air-suction vibrators that have been all the rage in recent years. The suction keeps pulsing and softly sucking on the skin after this "seal" is created. In addition to the full-shaft sensations from the humming motor we previously discussed, most of the Pleasure Air sensations originate from this mild suction.
However, you must be able to use the Arcwave Ion in order to appreciate that section. To begin with, the Arcwave Ion's shaft has three buttons. They are the +, the-, and the Smart Silence buttons. When holding the Arcwave Ion, the thumb can easily reach each button. Each one has a pleasant "click" when pressed and easily pressed down.
Press and hold the + button for one second until the vibrator rumbles to activate it. It is now underway. Since the Smart Silence will keep the toy completely silent and still until the penis is placed into the Arcwave Ion, even while it is "on," I must admit that I spent a lot of time attempting to determine whether the toy was on or not. Try using the toy to see the Arcwave Ion roar to life rather than wasting fifteen minutes troubleshooting why it wasn't "on"—don't be as stupid as I am.
You can enter your penis inside the Arcwave Ion after the toy is on. Then, using the + and - buttons on the shaft itself, you can change the strength of the sensations.
You can press the shaft of your penis more (or less) firmly into the Pleasure Air area while inside the Arcwave Ion by using your thumb on the thin silicone. This thinner silicone lets you apply the pressure you need to maximize the Pleasure Air sensations, but it's all up to you.
If you use a lot of lubricant, excess lubricant can accumulate around the sensor and interfere with its ability to work. If there is a lot of lubrication buildup, insert your finger and clean the Pleasure Air area.
When you're finished, the Arcwave Ion will shut off if you press and hold the - button. Easy, isn't it?
There is a standby turn-off mode on the Arcwave Ion. When the toy is in Smart Silence mode, it will shut off itself to save battery if you turn it on and don't put anything into it for three minutes. This will lessen the possibility that you will unintentionally leave the toy on after using it, thereby draining the battery completely. (The post-orgasm brain is undoubtedly space.)
Simply holding down the Smart Silence button, which is located directly next to the + and - buttons, will turn the Smart Silence feature on or off. Holding down the button will turn off Smart Silence, which is turned on when the button is glowing. When Smart Silence is turned off, the toy will continue to function whether or not it detects an object against the sensor.
Materials and Care
Silicone and ABS plastic are used to make the Arcwave Ion. Everything that comes into contact with your penis is composed of silicone. The plastic used to make the toy's thick portion has a subtle roughness. You can observe where the material varies by looking at product photos. It has no taste or smell, just like any other pure silicone. The material is truly amazing, and I'm happy that the Arcwave Ion managed to make silicone incredibly hospitable for a penis wrap!
The Arcwave Ion's Twist-to-Open function makes cleaning incredibly simple. The electronic components (the thick base) separate from the silicone sleeve when a (reasonable amount of) pressure is applied while twisting. This implies that both ends are watertight and that washing them separately is simple. When the silicone sleeve is not placed immediately on top of the Pleasure Air hole, it is much simpler to clean the deep crevice. Most of the cleaning (in the sleeve) may be done carelessly under running water, but I usually have to spot-clean the electronic portion with a washcloth or towel as needed (lube and body fluids).
Once both sides have been patted dry, the toy can be kept on its storage base, and the two sides can be twisted back together (there are no electrical issues with dampness). Even with the lid on, the Arcwave Ion will dry considerably more quickly if you place the DryTech packet—a lengthy silica gel packet kept inside the toy's cylinder—into the base while it is on the storage base. If you need a lot of secrecy, this is great since it absorbs all of the extra moisture from the Arcwave Ion without letting it sit out in the open air. Initially, the Arcwave Ion comes with a single DryTech packet and instructions on refreshing it. However, if you maintain the Arcwave Ion for an extended period, you will probably need to buy additional DryTech packets.
But first, let's discuss that storage foundation. Unexpected! It has a charging base as well! Therefore, the Arcwave Ion is charging to be ready for your subsequent use while simply relaxing in storage. The design of this storage base is exceptional—remarkably so.
It is made to sit outside all day and all night. The storage case has a futuristic style that is neither overly colourful nor inconspicuous, in addition to the charging cable fitting in the base and running underneath it with a built-in divet (to guarantee the storage base is always sitting flat). It would blend in seamlessly with various interior design styles, and nobody would notice.
As you can see, the Arcwave Ion storage base also features a lid. This lid completely conceals the penis stroker and gives the Arcwave Ion a very understated appearance, more akin to a sleep aid for the bed than a sex toy. The Arcwave Ion requires that both buttons on the base be touched simultaneously to remove the lid, protecting your toy from being discovered by straying hands. Even with my smaller hands, I can do it easily; if you knew the method, most adults could also accomplish it. However, most small hands won't be able to open this one for families.
Furthermore, as previously stated, this storage base also serves as the charging base. However, before using it, you must never be concerned about your Arcwave Ion's battery level. To notify you that the Arcwave Ion is fully charged and prepared for use, three lights will softly shine on the front side of the storage base. To monitor the charging level of your penis masturbation sleeve, you don't even need to take the top off.
Regarding charging, it takes approximately 85 minutes to charge the Arcwave Ion fully. After that, you may use the penile stroker for almost 60 minutes at maximum intensity. Your Arcwave Ion will last longer if you use it at lower intensities.
The Arcwave Ion includes a two-year manufacturer's warranty covering only manufacturing faults. Take a picture of the bottom of the box before you throw it out. You'll need the Proof of Purchase (keep your email receipt handy!), the date and location of the purchase (like Kinkly Shop!), the product serial number, and a description of the issue to claim your warranty. If your claim for returning the Arcwave Ion to them is legitimate, they will pay for postage.
The Packaging
The Arcwave Ion comes in a big, plain box inside the incredibly discrete Kinkly Shop wrapping. This toy was not made to be tactfully tucked away or shoddily wrapped in a transparent plastic bag. The Arcwave Ion's packaging would seem as appropriate on a retail shelf as it would for a luxury men's razor or sex toy. I completely support this unexpected departure from the typical packing of penises and toys.
The same upscale treatment continues when the Arcwave Ion container is opened. It's more like opening a brand-new technological toy than a sex item. All of the Arcwave Ion's accessories come in tiny cardboard boxes, and every component is snugly packed in cut-for-it foam. It is nearly hard to forget any of the items because they are all readily visible at a glance.
I wouldn't advise using the Arcwave Ion's packaging for long-term storage due to the storage base's design and the packing size, which is significantly larger than my laptop and beginning to resemble a throw pillow. However, that is impressive for the toy's first reception, and I advise recycling as much of it as possible. (Even I, who enjoys preserving packaging, cannot defend the enormous space required for the Arcwave Ion's package.)
Almost everything you need to get started is included with the Arcwave Ion on the day of delivery. Ten millilitres of Arcwave lubricant (manufactured by Pjur), the manual, safety instructions, one DryTech pouch, the storage base, the storage base lid, the charging cord for the storage base, and the Arcwave Ion itself (the sleeve and power unit that twist together) are all included. That's a lot of stuff, and even if you forgot to buy lubricant with it, you could be using the Arcwave Ion the same day you received it after completing the initial clean and charge (less than two hours).
The Verdict: 4/5
The Arcwave Ion surpasses the expectations of conventional penis toys, and it does so in a spectacular manner. In addition to feeling sophisticated, which is uncommon for most products designed for penis owners, the Arcwave Ion offers a brand-new, highly orgasmic form of stimulation that we have never experienced before—and that comes from someone who has hundreds of different penis toys.
The Arcwave Ion might not be a wise choice for you if you are sure that you need to be stroked in order to experience an orgasm. However, I believe you're going to find a fantastic sex toy with the Arcwave Ion if you've had experience with strong vibrations or other forms of stimulation that don't require up-and-down motions. In addition to spoiling you with all of its capabilities, the sensations are fantastic, incredibly orgasmic, and the ideal diversion from the typical strokers.
The only sex toy that makes me feel that drawn to an "ideal user" is the Arcwave Ion. For example, I assume that the LELO Smartwand Medium is a fantastic toy for anyone who enjoys vibrations and comes in a lovely package. However, the Arcwave Ion truly feels like a toy that will blend in well with the lifestyle of someone who leads a busy life, frequently desires uncomplicated and intense orgasms, and doesn't want to deal with constantly getting sex toys out from under the bed. It isn't easy to describe, but perhaps when you hold the Arcwave Ion, you'll sense it, too.
Even though Arcwave changed its promotional slogan halfway through, the phrase "Arcwave Ion Lets You Experience a Female Orgasm" is still used in some of their older marketing materials. This is blatantly sexist. Unless you purchase an Arcwave Ion, a penis will never be able to access the miraculous item that vaginas are concealing. Indeed, the Arcwave Ion might enable you to have an orgasm in a way that you don't typically feel (stationary sensations as opposed to stroking), but this isn't a novel experience; penis vibrators have been doing it for years. Additionally, stationary orgasms aren't only found in vaginas. The Arcwave Ion has no secret "get what a woman does!" appeal.
Other Arcwave Ion Reviews
As it happens, people enjoy examining cutting-edge technology like the Arcwave Ion. In the blogosphere, people are saying the following things about it:
The Big Gay Review says: Aside from noise and cost, the Ion's orgasms are unique; they're deeper, more powerful, and I don't wake up with numb hands.
Kinky Kitten Kim says: I was shocked to discover that this product could produce such a feeling when I inserted myself inside the gadget; the suction was strong on my shaft and frenulum. I experienced some of the finest sensations when I tried the suction on the back of my penis in various positions. When I used the following product, I orgasmed before I could even cum, which was a completely new sensation for me.
OhJoySexToy says: For smaller cocks, the location of the sucky-hole could be challenging to reach, and for larger cocks, the silicone portion might be excessively rigid. However, the Arcwave team says it works perfectly for over 85% of tests.
Kinky World says: The Arcwave Ion can also be used for stroking. Whenever we've attempted the little micro strokes I suggest, we're euphoric in seconds. The up-and-down familiarity greatly heightens the sensations, but you should use tiny strokes to prevent cracking the suction-type seal.
SuperSmashCache says: My boyfriend's VR gear and computer setup are compatible with this penis masturbator's awesome charging station. He used the terms "fleek" and "minimalist style [common] for electronics" to describe the Arcwave Ion.
Phallophile Reviews says: I'll be reaching a climax in just a few minutes on high. If you allow it, the Ion will make you come quickly; if you want to edge and have the most intense orgasm possible, start more slowly.
Joan Price says: Although the Ion makes a lot of noise, like a big dog licking up water (other reviews have compared it to a bike pump or a little pneumatic drill), it didn't detract from my enjoyment.
Other Options
"Being the first product to do this" implies that the Arcwave Ion is the only device that does anything like it. With no rivals, its use of Pleasure Air suction technology for penis pleasure essentially puts it in a different market.
However, we may put together some alternate choices if you're interested in certain aspects of the Arcwave Ion.
For instance, you might consider getting a Womanizer toy if the concept of Pleasure Air draws you in so much to the Arcwave Ion. You could try out the Pleasure Air sensations to find your "sweet spot", even if it didn't give you the same shaft-wide pleasure as the Arcwave Ion. However, the Arcwave Ion's "suction tip" is significantly larger than any Womanizer toy's; thus, the feelings will be far more accurate.
As an alternative, you could find penile vibrators appealing if the concept of non-stroking orgasms has captured your interest. Many penis vibrators concentrate on vibrating the penis rather than on up-and-down sensations like most penis strokers do. These devices often have a stationary design that depends on the vibrations' ability to induce an orgasm eventually.
The Satisfyer Men Wand, a vibrator designed specifically for the distinctive shape of a penis, is a less expensive alternative. Although the Men Wand can be placed along the shaft and concentrates on vibrating the frenulum, it lacks the Arcwave Ion's powerful, all-around pleasure and Pleasure Air feelings.
You should like the Nexus Eclipse if you want more frenulum-focused. The Nexus Eclipse uses a tiny stroking piece to move the frenulum up and down as the entire head vibrates in place of Pleasure Air. Although it feels extremely different from the Arcwave Ion, it can be a good fit if you enjoy regular frenulum stroking. (If you're interested in learning more, Kinkly has previously reviewed Nexus Eclipse.)
3 Tips for Buying a Penis Vibrator
If you're reading this review, you're probably looking for a new penile pleasure because the Arcwave Ion isn't like any other penis vibrator or stroker. If so, I strongly advise taking into account these three factors before selecting a penile sex toy:
- Do you require caressing? The Arcwave Ion is intended to be left in place for the most part. It's stationary mainly, though you can start some minor strokes. The Arcwave Ion may be disappointing if you genuinely need the up-and-down action to enjoy it.
- Do you have the ability to charge it? A vibrating toy like this will need to be recharged sometimes, in contrast to a penis stroker that doesn't vibrate (which doesn't need to be charged). Ensure your schedule allows for the hours the toy needs to charge to be ready to use. In contrast to other penile vibrators you may be considering, the Arcwave Ion's lid makes it far more discrete. Due to shock concerns, very few people put their vibrator chargers in the bathroom, so if discretion is an issue, you'll need to make sure you have a discrete location to charge the penile vibe.
- Are surround-shaft vibrations necessary? Every one of the thousands of vibrators available can be used on penises. But unlike clitoral vibrators, only penis vibrators are made to conform to the distinctive shape of the penis. You must determine whether you require vibrations that cover the entire shaft (as the Arcwave Ion does) or whether you would be content with something that only targets a few parts of the penis (as the Satisfyer Men Wand does).
