FAQ

For the best experience, we recommend using Arcwave™ Lube – made by pjur® or a another high-quality, water-based lubricant with Arcwave products. Here’s what to look for in a quality water-based lubricant:

1. CE-marked medical-grade products
2. Only use water-based lubricants from known manufacturers
3. Dermatologically tested and approved
4. A product free of preservatives, comedogenic oils and perfume additives

Simply wash your Arcwave product with Arcwave™ toy cleaner – made by pjur® or soap and water after every use. A 10% bleach solution can be used to clean if desired. To avoid battery or motor damage, DO NOT BOIL your Arcwave products, place them in the dishwasher or subject them to temperatures higher than body temperature.

Arcwave products are designed to become a natural part of the male masturbation experience and can be used to create a special, new type of orgasm. Arcwave supports modern masculinity and wants men to explore their curiosities.

Times are changing and what it means to be a man is changing too. Modern masculinity means being future-forward, open to exploration and bold, while still holding an emotional and understanding side.

New + Orgasm = Newgasm. All Arcwave products are engineered to create new sensations and more intense orgasms than other technologies on the market. An orgasm experience with an Arcwave product is unlike any other.

A smart modern, future-forward person with a strong character, no matter the sexual orientation. A bold, non-conformist who loves to discover new experiences, the Arcwave persona does not apologize for their attitude. At the same time, the Arcwave persona is understanding, liberal, and has an emotional side, not shying away from difficult topics and approaching live with vibrancy and positivity. The Arcwave persona has a natural confidence and loves open-minded exploration.

Arcwave products are designed based on research and science, guaranteeing that they will target new types of pleasure receptors and create an entirely new experience with every product. Before launch, our products are tried and tested through user surveys until the perfect product is created.
All Arcwave products feature CleanTech silicone, a more durable, hygienic and flexible material that is of higher quality than conventional materials in the market. CleanTech silicone is hypoallergenic, bacteria-resistant and able to withstand UV light rays, meaning that your Arcwave product is body safe and will last longer than other products.

Ion works for both circumcised and uncircumcised penises. Circumcision should not affect the use or enjoyment of the device.

Ion was designed to be easy to clean with a unique Twist to Open feature. Hold the CleanTech silicone sleeve in one hand and the technical device in the other hand. Simply twist the components away from each other and easily access the inside of the CleanTech silicone sleeve. Ion can be fully submerged under water and Twist the components back together after washing, before placing Ion in the storage base for quick drying and charging.
Simply wash your Arcwave product with Arcwave™ toy cleaner – made by pjur® or soap and water after every use. A 10% bleach solution can be used to clean if desired. To avoid battery or motor damage, DO NOT BOIL your We-Vibe products, place them in the dishwasher or subject them to temperatures higher than body temperature.

Yes. Ion itself is IPX7 waterproof, so it can be fully submerged in the bath or shower. The storage base is not waterproof and should never be used near water.

Arcwave™ Ion is the world’s first Pleasure Air™ stroker, created to intensify the orgasm experience. Research has shown that pleasure receptors in the clitoris play a key role in achieving intense orgasms. This research discovered that the tip of the penis actually has the same pleasure receptors (called Pacinian pleasure receptors) as a clitoris – traditional stimulation techniques like manual stroking, sex or oral stimulation do not fully activate these receptors. Ion specifically targets the frenulum with powerful air pulses to deliver a more intense, unique type of orgasm.

1. Relax.
2. Try to become flaccid.
3. Try using Arcwave™ Lube - made by pjur® - or another high-quality water-based lubricant. Even regular soap & water could be used to ease the removal.
4. Seek medical assistance if you have been wearing the device longer than the maximum recommended time (30 minutes) and cannot get it off.

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.
To turn Ion on, press and hold the (+) button for 2 seconds. Ion will begin in Smart Silence mode. Press gently onto the Pleasure Air™ sensor to determine that Ion is powered on. The indicator light on the bottom of the product, near the magnetic charging pins, will also glow when Ion is powered on.
Insert your penis into either end of the toy, whatever feels more comfortable for you. For the most intense orgasm, place the frenulum onto the Pleasure Air™ sensor. For another type of stimulation, you can use Ion as a stroker. Adjust the intensity levels of Ion using the (+) and (-) buttons. Ion has 8 intensity levels. To turn Smart Silence off or back on during use, press and release the Smart Silence button (above the (+) button).
After use, clean Ion before storing it back into the storage base for charging and drying.

Smart Silence is one of Ion’s unique features. In Smart Silence mode, the Pleasure Air pulses will only activate when the sensor is in contact with your body. When you pull away from the sensor, Ion will automatically again. The Smart Silence feature is important for efficient battery usage, teasing or edging with the device, or quickly shutting off the device if needed.
In Smart Silence mode, the Pleasure Air will not continue if droplets from the shower or lube is on the sensor. However, even in Smart Silence mode, the Pleasure Air will run continuously if submerged in water.

Yes, you can use the Pleasure Air feature while using Ion, even if you are not holding the Pleasure Air sensor over the frenulum. Adding stroking motions to your experience will create a new type of sensation and is a great way to use Ion to find what feels best for your body. If the device is in Smart Silence mode while you are stroking, the Pleasure Air feature will turn on when the sensor makes contact with your skin and will turn off again when you pull away from the sensor.

Ion is significantly smaller than most strokers on the market. Ion is 140mm x 83mm x 50mm. The diameter of the insertion area (unstretched) is 33mm. The storage base is 185mm x 107mm x 75mm.

Ion is made with Arcwave’s CleanTech silicone which is highly durable and flexible, so it can adapt to fit almost all sizes. The diameter of the insertion area (unstretched) is 33mm. In our development process, Ion was tested for a diameter stretched to 44mm. Ion is also open ended on both sides, allowing it to accommodate any length.

The Pleasure Air sensor is 6cm in from the bottom of the stroker (the end with the magnetic charging pins), and 7cm in from the opposite side.

Pleasure Air™ is different than vibration stimulation. With Ion, Pleasure Air™ delivers powerful air pulses to the frenulum on the tip of the penis. Ion features 8 intensity levels to choose how gentle or powerful you would like your air pulses to feel.
