Though this toy provides powerful, focused stimulation, we found such pinpoint stimulation to be more intense and easier to position with toys like the Lelo Dot and the Dame Aer. The Aer is completely waterproof, and its exterior is made from a single piece of soft matte silicone. Because the toy is enveloped in seamless silicone, it is quick and easy to clean. Our testers found that the toy fits nicely in the palm of the hand and is small enough to tuck into a travel bag or hide in a drawer.
