It wraps around your shaft and can be thrust into but is ultimately one-sided in the sensation it creates. This male masturbator has a charging base, a cover lid, and the pieces can easily be assembled or disassembled for play. The buttons, however well-positioned they might be, aren't the best, particularly as you have to hold them for a fairly precise interval to actually switch the Arcwave Ion on and off, but we'll give them a pass. It’s very well designed, really easy to clean and dry due to clever case design and the silica gel inserts. They're naturally occurring human skin receptors that are responsible for our sensitivity to pressure and vibration.

Either way, it’ll definitely take a little experimentation before you work out how to get the best experience out of the Arcwave Ion. To test out this theory, we’ve been putting the Arcwave Ion through its paces (quite literally – we’re already on our second review unit) for the last few weeks, ahead of its wider launch. If it’s held still in various places it feels kinda ok but nowhere near enough stimulation for any fort of orgasm.Therefore vibration technology can be inconsistent, even if two vibrators have the same power levels. CleanTech silicone is a type of material that is highly dense and biocompatible and exclusive to the Arcwave Lineup. So if you are looking for a fun way to spice up things with your partner, the Hot Octopuss Pulse Duo Lux is more suited for that, but if gentle pulsating airwaves during masturbation are more your thing, then the Arcwave Ion is a better choice. The ArcWave Ion is incredibly discreet, and when it’s sitting out, it could pass for a charging station. Depending on the size of your penis (not length, but diameter), it would serve you well to use your thumb to apply some pressure on top of the pressure pads while thrusting the penis in and out the canal.

Medical Grade Silicone is the exact same thing as it is also hypoallergenic and resistant to forms of UV radiation. It might do in a pinch, but I prefer something with a little more finesse, which the ArcWave Ion offers.The ridge of the opening rubs nicely on the top side edge of my head, which is the skin contact spot that gets me off most during blowjobs. The Arcwave is a smart masturbator that uses the same Pleasure Air technology that Womanizer toys use. Although the quality of the Arcwave is impeccable and provides many features such as 8 stimulation modes, a 60–70-minute run time, 2 hour charge time, a 2-year warranty from the date of purchase, the storage and charging base, charging cable, a sample of Pjur lube and the stroker itself. The neat thing here, though, is that the silence button enables a Smart Silence mode, which ensures the Arcwave Ion air stimulation will only activate when it senses skin contact, minimizing these sounds. It’s a kind of smooth vibration, though, not the violent jolts you may expect from a regular male masturbator.

When I loosened my grip, the toy’s vibrations seemed to penetrate more, which is when I got the best feelings. If you have visual difficulties, the Smart Silence button will be farthest from you, the + button is in the middle, and the — button is closest to your body. Inside the box, you receive the Arcwave stroker, the charging/storage base, the manual and safety instructions, a DryTech stick pack, the DryTech stick (already in place in the storage unit), a USB charging cord, and a sample bottle of Pjur lubricant. The Lovense Max 2 creates more of a squeezing sensation than a pulsing one, which might be your thing, but I prefer the more natural-feeling ArcWave motion.With the easy access controls and clean-up afterward, this is my favorite toy in my whole collection! Unlike other toys that vibrate, the ArcWave Ion pulses, sending airwaves around the head of your penis and stimulating the most sensitive nerve endings. You could try the Blowmotion Real Feel Rechargable Vibrating Male Masturbator, which cushions twin vibrators at either side of its extremely soft sleeve. The unit slides easily onto the charging dock, which has a similar aesthetic and could easily sit on a dresser without being recognized by your guests.
