Arcwave Pow Toy Review

Blue Arcwave pow Silicone stroker

Introduction

The Arcwave Pow is one of my favorite strokers. It feels good, has a modern design and is exceptionally durable. It is great for a quick solo session, or as a tool during partnered play

Design

The Arcwave Pow is canister style stroker, composed of a soft textured silicone sleeve encased in a hard plastic cylinder. The Pow is 7 inches in length and 2.75 inches in diameter, with a usable inner length of 6.5 inches. The Pow has openings at both ends covered by removable caps, one opening is wider than the other providing different sensations. The sleeve has a uniform texture throughout of spiraling ridges, which are simple but very effective. The inner sleeve can be removed from the cylinder for cleaning. The outer cylinder is wrapped in textured rubber to provide grip in slippery conditions such as the shower. The outer cylinder also has 3 vents to speed up drying. One of the end caps has a simple pressure valve to provide suction during use and can be placed over either end. The Arcwave Pow looks more like a portable speaker than a sextoy and is quite discrete. The Pow is available in 3 colors: black, blue and mint.

Experience

The interier texture of the feels great, the silicone is the squishiest I have ever felt and quite stretchy. The uniform spiral nubs provide a nice sensation which subtlety build with every stroke. The silicone is less slippery than TPE sleeves I have used and requires a lot of lube. There is a little friction until the lube gets spread across all the texture nubs. The Arcwave Pow has two different sized openings, I perfer the wider opening because there is less drag on insertion, and counterintuitively it has a tighter interior past the opening. There is a valve on one of the caps to produce suction, but the sensation is so anemic it can barely be felt.
The first time I tried The Arcwave Pow I thought that it would be perfect for edging because of the understated internal texture and minimal suction. On my first use It brought me to orgasm quicker than I had anticipated, but as I have continued to use it and gotten used to the sensations, it has become a great toy for edging and long relaxed solo sessions.

The Arcwave Pow is also a reasonably good partner toy. It is light weight and the grippy textured exterior makes it easy to hold. It's simple design makes it easy for a partner to control and it traps fluids reducing mess. My wife likes to use it on me in the shower or during non-penetrative play.

Material & Quality

The inner sleeve is made with Arcwave's CleanTech soft silicone, which is smooth and squishy to the touch and feels amazing during use. The external cylinder and end caps are made of ABS plastic which is durable and strong.

Durability & Care

The inner sleeve has held up well to frequent use for over 6 months, and shows no signs of wear. I accidentally used silicone lube once, after realizing my mistake I washed out the stroker which suffered no damage. Although Silicone lube did not damage the sleeve during a single use, water based lube is recommended, and silicone lube could cause damage with repeated use. I have noticed a buildup of hard water deposits on the rubber grip of the case from using the pow in the shower, this in no way affects the function of the toy. The deposit buildup is merely an aesthetics concern and my hard water is a bigger problem than the toy material. The Arcwave Pow is easy to care for, after use I remove both caps and rinse it with cool water. After washing the Pow I let it dry for a day before putting it away.

Arcwave Pow packaging review

Packaging & Price

The Arcwave Pow was attractively packaged in a cardboard cylinder. The decoration on the packaging is simple, with a picture of the toy and minimal text. The packaging is sturdy and can be reused to store the toy. The Pow costs $69.00 "nice!" on the Arcwave website, and is readily avalible from various stores which may have sales or offer discounts. I think the Pow is reasonably priced for its quality, especially if it can be found on sale.

Conclusions

The Arcwave Pow is a great toy. The silicone of the sleeve is soft and has a great texture. It has a stylish modern desing and is reasonable priced. The Pow is durable and long lasting and will provide a penis with years of pleasure.
