Brand guide
Arcwave
Womanizer's air-pulse technology, redesigned for penises.
What we like
- A genuinely different sensation from traditional strokers
- Premium build quality and body-safe materials
- Easy to clean compared to many strokers
- Backed by the Womanizer and We-Vibe group
Watch out for
- Expensive, especially the Ion
- Small range
- Air-pulse stimulation doesn't work for everyone
Who Arcwave is
Arcwave launched in 2020 as the penis-focused brand of WOW Tech Group, the company behind Womanizer and We-Vibe, now part of Lovehoney Group. Its first big product, the Ion, applied Womanizer’s Pleasure Air idea to the penis: focused pulses of air on the frenulum instead of up-and-down stroking.
What Arcwave is known for
- Pleasure Air for penises. A very different sensation from a sleeve or stroker.
- Premium finish. Design and materials on a par with the group’s other brands.
Who should buy Arcwave
If you’ve tried strokers and want something new, or you want a premium gift for a partner with a penis, Arcwave is the most interesting option in the category.
Who might skip it
If you’re just starting out, Tenga lets you experiment for much less money.
Our verdict
Arcwave is a small but genuinely innovative brand. The Ion is pricey, but there isn’t much else like it.
