Trusted on eBayWomanizer Premium 2 Review: Is the Air-Pulse Price Worth It?
~6 minutes to read
Content
Pleasure Air technology works through air pulses rather than motor contact, and that mechanical difference is why reactions to it vary person to person rather than toy to toy. It is a fit question, not a quality one: this does not predict whether you personally will respond to it, only that the mechanism itself is unlike anything using direct vibration.
At $189 this sits at the top of the clitoral stimulator shelf, well above the simpler vibrating toys it is constantly compared against. It makes the most sense for someone who already suspects air-pulse stimulation works for them and wants the better-built version of it, not for someone deciding whether the category itself is worth trying.
Four things worth knowing
- No direct contact, by design. The stimulator head forms a light seal over the clitoris and pulses air against it rather than vibrating directly on it, which is the entire point of the Pleasure Air mechanism.
- Two heads, two fits. The box includes a smaller and larger stimulation head, so you can match the seal to your own anatomy.
- Fourteen intensity levels with an Autopilot mode. The improved Autopilot cycles through intensities on its own if you would rather not manage it manually.
- Fully submersible. It carries an IPX7 rating, so shower or bath use is fine, though that rating covers the stated test condition and not indefinite soaking.

What it is and how it works
Most clitoral toys stimulate through contact: a motor moves silicone, the silicone presses or vibrates against you. The Womanizer Premium 2 works differently. The opening at the head creates a light seal over the clitoris, and the device pulses air across it rather than against it. This produces a pulsing air sensation rather than a vibrating one, since there is no motor pressed directly against the skin, mechanically distinct from how every vibrator in this category operates.
How to use the Womanizer Premium 2 in practice: pick the head size that gives you the closest seal, add a little lubricant to help it hold, then start low. Fourteen intensity levels is a wide range, and starting low lets you find a comfortable setting before working upward. The improved Autopilot mode handles the climbing and cycling for you if you would rather not hold a button through the whole session.
The two included heads exist because fit varies: a tighter seal with the smaller head suits some people, while the larger head gives a broader, less concentrated sensation. Trying both before settling on one is worth the time, the same way choosing the right dildo size changes how a toy feels, as WebMD notes about fit mattering across the broader category.
Controls are built into the device itself, with buttons to cycle intensity levels and trigger Autopilot mode.
This exact model is also available in a Warm Gray finish, if you want the same mechanism in a different color.
Materials, lube and cleaning
The body is silicone, which is non-porous and does not hold onto fluid or bacteria the way softer jelly or TPE blends can. That is the baseline requirement for anything that touches genital tissue repeatedly, and this toy clears it.
Use a water-based lubricant, applied lightly: a little helps the head form a better seal, but excess can work its way into the air chamber. Skip silicone-based lube entirely, since silicone on silicone can swell, soften or turn tacky over time, and skip oil-based lube too, since it leaves a film that is hard to fully clean off.
How to clean the Womanizer Premium 2: remove the stimulation head, rinse both the body and the head in warm water, then use a mild unscented soap or a toy cleaner. Pay attention to the inside of the head and the air channel behind it, since that is where residue tends to collect and where a quick rinse misses. Dry everything completely before storing it in the included pouch. Do not boil it, put it in a dishwasher, or clean it with alcohol or bleach: heat and solvents damage silicone seals and the electronics underneath.
How it compares
The Biird Namii blends suction with vibration in one head rather than relying on air pulses alone. If you are not sure air-pulse alone will do it for you and want a toy that hedges between two mechanisms, this is the safer first purchase.
The Adam & Eve Lilac Licks skips air pulses entirely and pairs a licking-motion head with internal vibration. Pick this one if what you actually want is dual internal-and-external stimulation rather than the specific non-contact sensation Pleasure Air produces.
Neither alternative gives you the five-year warranty or the two-head sizing system the Premium 2 ships with, which is the real argument for paying more here if the mechanism already works for you.
Is the Womanizer Premium 2 worth it: price and value
$189 buys genuine build quality: a five-year warranty, full submersion rating, two fitted heads, and a brand that has spent years refining this exact mechanism. For someone who already knows Pleasure Air works for their body, that is a reasonable amount to pay for the better-made version of it.
What it does not buy is certainty about whether the sensation will work for you at all. Reactions to air-pulse stimulation vary widely from person to person, and no amount of spending changes which side of that line you land on.
The bottom line
The Premium 2 earns its price if you already know air-pulse stimulation works for your body: the two head sizes, long runtime and five-year warranty make it comfortable to live with for years rather than months.
If you have never tried a non-contact stimulator, this is an expensive way to find out whether the sensation suits you. A cheaper air-pulse toy, or one of the dual-stimulation alternatives above, answers that question for less money before you commit to this one.
