Product Information

In 2020, Arcwave was born into the WOW Tech Group house of brands, the global industry leader in pleasure innovation. Founded in Berlin, WOW Tech Group has offices in Berlin, Ottawa, and Hong Kong. WOW Tech products are available at thousands of retail stores and online shops in over 60 countries around the world. There's meat to Arcwave's claims that this works towards a completely unique experience. It does. It's quite bananas, and we've never tried anything quite like it. We can't fault the presentation, either – the case is a very nice touch, and the engineering of the Ion itself (particularly the twist-apart construction, which really does make cleaning easy) is well-considered and effective. CleanTech silicone is non-porous, making it ultra-hygienic and easy to clean. It also silky-soft on skin, so it feels oh-so-good during use. We've already mentioned it a few times in this review, but Arcwave's excellent Voy is a great choice if you're after a toy of the more manual persuasion. The sleeve material is the same (and it's excellent on both counts) and the quality's there too.

We'd put this closest, in size and feel, to the Fleshlight Flight Pilot which currently holds the spot of number one in our best Fleshlight guide. Fleshlight's middle-sized stroker can generate more suction and offers more variety in its texture, but its softer material might not be able to stand up as well as that of the Pow. Arcwave is a leading premium pleasure brand developed by a world-class team of engineers who have made it their mission to redefine the male orgasm experience. You could try the Blowmotion Real Feel Rechargable Vibrating Male Masturbator, which cushions twin vibrators at either side of its extremely soft sleeve. The outcome is similar, with its vibrations spicing up otherwise standard movements in an interesting way, though we found the sensations here a little stronger and quite different. Ion must be removed from the storage base before use. Before use, apply a generous amount of Arcwave™water-based lubricant by pjur™, or your own favorite silicone-friendly personal lubricant to the inside of the CleanTech silicone. And then there's the noise. We had similar complaints in our Arcwave Voy review, so it's clear that Arcwave's mission is to make great-feeling toys, not great-sounding ones. This sounds like a growling dog playing tug with a pneumatic drill. Deeply unsexy. Arcwave Ion review: Verdict

First impressions of the Arcwave Pow

So the real selling point must be the texture, then? Well, yes, mostly. It's pretty nice. As Arcwave already learned with the relatively simple banded texture of the Voy, there's really little reason to concoct some spectacular Fleshlight Ice Lady-like maze of caverns and textures when a single uniform pattern can work just as well. This one does work. It feels great – again, though, mostly. It's probably not quite as universally likeable or as physically exciting as the Voy's banded texture, though that's a marginal and personal assessment. Arcwave designers’ refined and stylish approach adds a touch of class to the world of male pleasure for the first time. Every aspect of our products has been painstakingly crafted with love and precision, not only to provide exciting new levels of pleasure, but also to help destigmatize male masturbation. But it's not perfect: there's really no way to use this stealthily unless it's switched off altogether, given that it sounds like a motorbike that's been rebuilt by a maniac, the buttons aren't the best, and its penis detection algorithms aren't quite on point. For something so expensive, that might make it feel disappointing – or, at least, it will until you've used it. Then all will be forgiven. Arcwave Ion review: Alternatives to consider 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. Before we dive into the good stuff, here are the important specs for the Arcwave Pow and a general rundown of what’s hot and what’s not.

Let's put the Arcwave Pow in its place: for all the little irritations we were able to find with it, it's really not bad. This is an affordable toy, one without the gaudy anatomical theatrics that certain others employ. It has a clean design, an effective texture, it's easy to maintain, and there are plenty of ways to use it.

Premium manual stroker with suction control and a smooth silicone sleeve.

Pow can be cleaned using water and soap or a specially formulated toy cleaning solution. Simply remove the silicone inner sleeve from the outer case to clean. Leave to air dry before reassembly. Apply plenty of water-based lube to your penis and the inside of Pow's sleeve and slide the toy onto your penis. Rub it up and down for a unique masturbation experience. You can vary the sensations by covering and uncovering the pressure-release valve on the toy, which increases the level of suction. Women have shown the way as trailblazers of social liberation when it comes to masturbation, and men can be seen as significantly behind. Now, Arcwave allows men to access the same level of quality in a similarly sophisticated way, providing a completely new type of sensation. Weirdly there's nothing quite like the Pow on the market. The Arcwave Voy has definitely contributed a lot of its DNA here, but it doesn't have the same length; something simple like the Lovehoney Reversible XL Double Stroker offers a slightly similar experience, but it's nowhere near as premium.
