Reviewing the plusOne Mini Massager

My Personal Experiences with plusOne Mini Massager

How It All Started

There I was, browsing through the aisles of a familiar and friendly retail store when something caught my eye as I walked past the pharmacy. I had discovered the plusOne series of toys and picked one up on a whim. That was five years ago — the rest is history. This little vibrator has seen me at my lowest lows and the highest highs, if you catch my drift. If I’m traveling, I never leave home without it. As long as you make sure to discharge all of the power in it before packing it in your carry-on luggage or your personal bag, I’ve never had an issue with TSA.

My Impressions

Waterproof, rechargeable, and much quieter than my first battery-operated one, I love how easy and intuitive it is to use and how it feels to the hand. It comes with 10 different vibration patterns, ranging from a steady buzz in varying intensity to some intermittent rumbles with the occasional buzz in between. You can get some variety out of it, which I like. The more uses I can get out of one product, the better. I will say, it isn’t the strongest vibe out there even on its highest setting, and as someone that likes a lot of pressure and strong vibrations, sometimes the plusOne doesn’t quite hit the mark for me. That said, it makes a great accomplice to partner play or alongside other toys you might enjoy to help take you over the edge. It keeps me coming back to it, again and again, and shows no signs of quitting on me even after half a decade. I’d call that a good bang for your buck!

Pros
Affordable
Variable speeds and vibration settings
Rechargeable
Great for beginners or veterans
Cons
May not be strong enough for you
Can disconnect when charging sometimes
Not the best for penetrative/insertion play

Design

plusOne Mini Massager Design

Overall, the plusOne mini massager is a pretty compact product. Smooth and curved, its shape is very organic and the base fits comfortably into the palm of my hand. It's wrapped in a body-safe silicone material, light, and sturdy enough to withstand some pressure. The internal mechanisms also have some give, so you don't have to worry about the toy being overly rigid. Thanks to the shape, it can also be comfortably inserted and worn. I personally never dealt with any discomfort while doing this, but if you're a little new to things, the base may feel large to you.

Was the plusOne Mini Massager easy to use?

plusOne Mini Massager Was the plusOne Mini Massager easy to use?

With its single-button design, operation was intuitive for me—press and hold to turn it on, press quickly to cycle through the different vibrations modes, and press and hold once more to turn it off. The power button lights up with a blue light to indicate that the toy is on, and will begin to blink as the toy runs out of battery. You'll also feel its vibrations grow a little bit weaker as it starts to run out of juice, so it never comes as a surprise.

Does the plusOne Mini Massager deliver on quality?

If five years of use isn't enough to attest for the craftsmanship of this tiny little vibrator, I sure can. This thing has been dropped, flung, slammed, squeezed, shoved, jostled, soaked, and shook—not a scratch. The plusOne mini massager is like the Toyota Camry of vibrators: it's there for you, does the job, and never quits. Like I mentioned before, it's light, but don't let that fool you. Throughout the time I've owned mine, I never had to worry about it breaking or wearing out. Just charge it up every once in a while, and you're good to go. If it can handle traveling by air and survive the experience of being thrown around by various airports' ground crews and luggage carousels, it can definitely handle your rough play.

Is the plusOne Mini Massager Worth the Investment?

plusOne Mini Massager Is the plusOne Mini Massager Worth the Investment?

Coming in at about $30 USD, I would not say that it is the cheapest sex toy out there, but given the usual price ranges of quality toys and the sheer longevity/quality, $30 for the plusOne is an investment I would make over and over. My only other vibrator, a battery-operated bullet vibe that costed me $7 USD, packed a serious punch but quickly racked up costs in batteries and ceased being useable as its motor fried out. With that being said, I believe you get what you pay for and that this vibrator pays for itself. It comes with the toy, the charging cable, and a carrying pouch.

Does it Deliver on Performance?

plusOne Mini Massager Does it Deliver on Performance?

Quiet and varying between buzzing and rumbly, I enjoy cycling through the different patterns it boasts. The vibrating portion of the toy culminates in the narrower tip, which is great for focused play when you'd like to concentrate the vibrations on something specific. It lasts me about 1.5 weeks before needing a recharge. I've also never felt it become hot during use. Thanks to the shape, it can be comfortably inserted. I personally never dealt with any discomfort while doing this, but if you're a little new to things, the base may feel a little large to you.

Packaging of the plusOne Mini Massager

plusOne Mini Massager Packaging of the plusOne Mini Massager

You will find that the boxes display the brand, product name, and a few small blurbs of quick-glance information on the side, including battery type. The product itself is only suggested via silhouette on the front, and there is a colorful array of floral designs throughout. The front side of the box is also a flap that can be lifted up to see the toy inside behind some clear plastic, but it is not blatantly advertised as a toy for sexual pleasure. I found the packaging elegant and fun, and it gave me an indication of quality and care.

Cleaning it by running it under some water and rubbing it with whatever soap or toy cleaner you prefer. I would use water-based lube with this to ensure your lubricant does not compromise the material of the toy, and then place it back in its pouch when not in use. Plugging it in is also very simple; it comes with a single cable with a USB-A end and the magnetic end that connects to the port located on the bottom of the toy. To fully charge it, I've found that it takes about 2 hours depending on your power source.

Conclusion

Beginner friendly and easy to use, I think this is a good toy to try if you're just getting started with vibrators. It brings enough to the table to become a bedside favorite, even for the more experienced veterans, without being too overwhelming or too strong. Solid and reliable, I just wish it was a little bit stronger for my own preferences.

How to use plusOne Mini Massager

Wondering how to utilize your vibe? Here are a few ideas you could try…

plusOne Mini Massager
Targeted Location Play
plusOne Mini Massager
With the tip of the mini massager being the active part that vibrates, it’s perfect for if you want to specifically focus the vibrations on a body part. The clitoris, nipples, head or base, whatever you fancy!
plusOne Mini Massager
Insertion
plusOne Mini Massager
Fitting nicely into the palm of most hands, this vibrator can also be inserted into the vagina for internal play. Without a flared base, I wouldn’t recommend it for anal insertion if you’re inexperienced. External stimulation around the anus, however, is fine.

FAQ

How do I charge it?
The mini massager comes with one magnetic, pin-charging cable in the package. One end is a USB-A (to be inserted into a wall charger or USB-A port such as ones found on most laptops), and the other is the pin. You can use the pin to guide the charger onto the magnetic base located at the bottom of your toy and it should align itself. You will know if it is charging when the LEDs under the power button light up and pulse blue.
Will it indicate if it is running low on power?
Yes! You’ll likely feel the vibrators slow down or get gentler as it approaches the end of its charge, but the toy is also built to start flashing its LED to signal its low battery status. It will automatically turn off if drained. While charging, once the LED returns to a solid, steady glow, it is fully charged for your next use.
What if I lose my charging cable or it breaks?
plusOne sells replacement pin-charging cables on their website, but you can also search for pin-charging cables and purchase them from Amazon or similar online retailers too.
How do I operate it?
There is a single button on the product, and it alone is the sole control mechanism. Press and hold to turn the device on or off, and (while it is on), you can press it again to cycle through the 10 different vibration modes. They will loop in order as you continue to cycle through or turn the toy off.
