When I heard about Voy – a new high-end stroker from Arcwave, my balls got a slight tingle immediately. The company is known for fantastic quality sex toys, and I was hoping that it would be my new go-to masturbator.
I have had the toy for a few months and given it solid testing, so here’s my complete and unbiased Arcwave Voy review.
Arcwave Voy is a terrific masturbator for anyone looking for more than their hand. It’s adjustable and will help keep you from getting bored, as you can have different sensations each session. It’s a remarkable value for money, durable, and has a two-year warranty.
Is Arcwave Voy Worth It? It’s the perfect first male toy as it’s excellent value for money and high quality. And anyone who finds themselves bored with their current sleeves should try Voy and treat your cock to some all-new sensations. In addition, due to its compact size, this product is perfect for anyone looking for a small, travel-friendly device.
Who Can Skip It? If your penis is thicker than 5 inches, you may have trouble fitting inside the silicone sleeve. And if you are looking for a toy that will please your entire penis, perhaps you should look into a full-length Fleshlight, like Stoya Destroya, instead.

About the Company
Arcwave is a male-focused sex toy company founded by WOW Tech Group’s umbrella company. WOW Tech Group has been one of the premier developers of female sex toys and lubrication called Pjur. They certainly entered the male sex toy world by blasting down the doors with the ION and the cumshots it created for backup.

Packaging
One of my favorite toys of all time is the Arcwave Ion, so when I heard that Arcwave was releasing a stroker, I had to try it out. The quality and attention to detail that went into the Ion created pleasures I didn’t think I could achieve on my own. I knew that If the Voy was anything even close to the Ion, it would be worth every penny.
The device came shipped in discreet packaging, keeping what’s inside unknown, perfect for anyone who may have curious children or nosy roommates. Honestly, though, the box doesn’t resemble your typical sex toy package; no naked girls and no wild sexual graphics or wording.
After removing the outer package and seeing the product box for the first time, I was impressed. It’s entirely different from other masturbators I usually receive, and I was shocked by the quality and design that went into it.
The graphic designs on the front of the box made the stroker look almost like an Apple product or similar luxury item. The design classed up the device, removing any sleaziness or connotations that often come with sex toys. The Voy would be an excellent gift to give to a loved one or a buddy who needs more than his hand.
In addition, there’s an outer sleeve to the box, which slides off, and inside is a flip-lid box reminding me of a treasure chest, another excellent touch. The inside of the box lid even has straightforward 3-step safety instructions to follow for your first use.
Lifting the top of this treasure chest presents the stroker, a small bottle(not a sachet) of Pjur lubricant, and the user manual, all nicely laid out. I felt like I was getting a premium product based on the packaging and presentation alone.
Design
The compact stroker itself does not look that much different from a camera lens. How perfect, I thought to myself, so discrete and elegant, for once a sex toy I would be happy to see sitting on my desk day in and day out.
I picked it up, and the weight felt good in my hand right away. I noticed a rubber dial for making adjustments. It has a very sleek and elegant design, the company logo is very discreet, and the adjustable ring has the letter A on it with dots for grip. They could not have created a more slick design if they had tried.
I popped the caps of the two ends, and the shiny black silicone openings greeted me. They were rather puffy and surprisingly sticky/tacky. I noticed the dust sticking to the surface almost instantly as if they were a magnet, but this was a minor issue; as I played with the silicone, I could feel the super smooth, squishy stretchiness and knew it would feel terrific on my dick.
I proceeded to play with the adjustable ring on the outside and was shocked to see how the insides moved. Ribs line the interior, and these ribs move to create a different pattern with each ring setting. Damn, if you were to compare this to the Fleshlight Quickshot, it’s as if this has eight extra sleeves within itself.
The adjusting ring itself was not as easy to twist as expected, and it took quite a bit of force, requiring two hands. After a few tries, I got used to it, though, and it soon felt natural to apply a little pressure when adjusting the ring.
When I showed the toy to my wife, she loved it. She thought the sleek, discreet design of this was as fantastic as I did. Upon examining the box, she quickly chimed up, saying that it would make a perfect gift for a few of her gay male friends crying out for new sex toys to spice up their bedroom antics.
Protector lids
Even the end caps for the Voy are well designed, with ventilation channels allowing the toy to dry while in storage. They also help keep the toy unobtrusive and disguise it as a believable camera lens.
Tightness Adjustment System
What sets the Voy apart from any other male masturbators on the market is the ability to adjust the tightness to your liking. There is a simple dial on the outer casing that allows you to change the tightness. Other toys have suction control, but none will physically manipulate themselves for your exact fit.
The design is to stimulate the Merkel-Ranvier pleasure receptors on your penis. I’ll admit, I had to look this up. Merkel-Ranvier cells are ultra-sensitive nerves to touch found in our skin, such as our fingertips and sex organs.
The adjustable part is what comes in contact with this group of nerves (pleasure receptors), bringing you heightened and focused sensations that no other male masturbator can. Adjusting the tightness allows for a custom experience for the perfect wank.
Pro tip: Select the setting you desire before you begin to jerk off. It can be challenging to adjust the dial with water-based lubricant on your hands or the Voy, and I found it impossible to change it once on my enlarged member.
Clean Tech Silicone
Arcwave uses CleanTech Silicone in all their male masturbators, which I am a massive fan of. The silicone used on their toys seems denser and more durable than TPE found in other male sex toys.
CleanTech Silicone is also far more hygienic than other materials. It’s non-porous and hypoallergenic, meaning that bacteria or fungi can’t live on it. It’s safe to use on skin for prolonged periods (we all know we will do this) and simpler to wash than TPE. It can be cleaned with ordinary hand soap and requires less scrubbing.
Pro Tip: Being silicone, ONLY use water-based lubes, and that silicone lubricant or coconut oil you love to use during sex will destroy your Voy.
Discreet & Compact
The Voy is maybe one of the most discreet and compact male masturbators I have encountered. It can easily be stashed in your bags while you travel, and if anyone sees it, they would assume it’s a camera lens. It is even easier to store away in a drawer or nightstand table in the bedroom, where it won’t draw any unwanted attention.
Internal Ribbing
The ribbing found on the inside creates the sensation of an orifice. The ribs move when the dial is adjusted, creating different formations for new feelings and tightness.
Two Entryways
The Voy has two different entryways of different sizes. The different sizes ensure you can always find the perfect fit for your dick. One is 1×1.2 inches (oval-shaped), and the other is 1.4 inches, so depending on your perimeter, it will give you the right fit. These entry points are super stretchy and can stretch far further than expected.
How To Use Arcwave Voy?
Using Arcwave Voy is very easy and can be summarized in four steps:
- Twist and remove the two protective caps located at each end of the masturbator.
- Next, apply plenty of water-based lube to the masturbator and your penis.
- Then use the adjustable ring to insert your dick.
- Finally, adjust the ring to find a pleasurable pressure.

My Personal Experience
Using the Voy for the first time stirred up emotions and excitement. I found it hard to be horny as I was so pleased with the device itself, and I just wanted to play with it more.
Ease Of Use
When it finally came time to put me inside, the cold, sticky silicone was in no way welcoming. Already seeing it gather dust, I decided to run it under some warm water first. The warm water was a great idea as it helped warm the silicone sleeve up; extra pleasure is always welcome.
I grabbed the complimentary lube that it came with and squirted it in there. The Pjur lube has an almost silk-like texture; it’s much more refined than other water-based loops, often gloopy. I barely got one use from the little bottle provided, though, so make sure you have extra on hand just in case.
I slid myself in, and the ribbing on the inside welcomed me just right. At first, I questioned whether this toy was too small for my (slightly above average) circumference, and it took a bit of gentle coercing and more lube to enter the toy thoroughly. Once I was in there, though, I slid in and out freely with a nice amount of pressure across my shaft and head.
I wanted to adjust the settings and see what this bad boy was capable of. But I was disappointed to find it was not adjustable when on and in use. I slipped it off and tried to adjust it, but jeez, I could barely twist it with the lube on my hands and had to grab a towel to turn the dial.
Stimulations
It took a few strokes to find the sweet spot on my shaft. I probably wouldn’t recommend the Voy for anyone with a super-thick member as you may have trouble on entry.
After adjusting to being a bit tighter, I was back in action. Wow, this was freaking awesome! It did feel like a perfect fit for my dick and was triggering the perfect spot for pleasure. It was better than my hand by a long shot and felt tighter and more lifelike than most of my other strokers.
Like a good camera that the Voy emulates, this device offers a great shot (sorry). But seriously, this stroker has given me some earth-shattering orgasms. The Voy is the type of toy with which you can have an ultra-fast orgasm or draw out your session with lots of edging.
The following times I used it, I tried different settings. Each setting did give a different sensation which is great, but I found that there were one or two settings that I preferred the most and got the job done fast.
Sound Level
The Voy felt good in my hand so far and not distracting me from the wank itself. However, it made an odd crinkling-crackling sound with each thrust, and I found this sound annoying, mainly when using full strokes. THE TOY WAS FAIRLY SILENT when I was edging and using slower movements.
Couple Play
It was fantastic to use with my partner as my head was exposed above the toy. She was able to lick it and tease my shaft in unbelievable ways, making me beg to cum. A perfect fem-dom accessory.
Minor Flaws I Found
It became a little heavy in one hand when having longer wanks and surfing porn. After the 20-minute mark, I found my arm sore and tired of holding onto this thing. It was also impossible to use without your hand becoming engulfed in lube, as both ends were open, and the lube was prone to leaking out at both ends.

The Voy is comparable to the Fleshlight QuickShot Vantage. They are both compact and can get the job done fast, and both are great to use with a partner, but comparing the two is like comparing a Honda to a Ferrari. Both work well and get the job done correctly, but the Voy caters itself to your maximum comfort.
Customizing the dimensions delivers more pleasure in an entirely different way, and the QuickShot does not target specific sensitive areas. The materials used in the Voy are also head and shoulders above the cheaper plastic used for the QuickShot case.
The Arcwave Ion is another excellent toy with similar abilities. Both the Ion and the Voy are focused on the sensitive nerve groups of your penis to pleasure you in particular ways that other toys don’t.
The advantage of the Voy over the Ion is that it is easier to use. Where the Arcwave Ion is a powered toy that requires charging, the Voy has no animated features, lube up and get to work with it. The Voy is more compact and would be easier to travel with or share with a partner with little to no adult toy experience.
Cleaning and Maintenance
The CleanTech Silicone makes the toy relatively easy to clean, and it’s waterproof so that you can clean it with running water. The issue you will find is the dust accumulating on the latex no matter how hard you try to avoid it. Both regular soap and Arcawave toy cleaners are suitable for this product.
The silicone is non-porous, which means it dries faster than TPE sleeves. It will air dry rapidly, and the silicone sleeve can be removed and turned inside out for even quicker drying times. The easiest way to dry it is to put a cap on one end and wait for it to dry before putting the other cap on. The lids have air vents to eliminate moisture inside.
