ElectraStim Aura silicone electrostimulation probe

Aura is the go-to probe for getting started with electrostimulation. I consider this model a must-have in the BDSM electrostimulation beginner segment: its simple geometry, accessible size, and silicone construction make it an excellent entry point. The bipolar contacts allow direct connection to any compatible stimulator, without an adapter.

Silicone and safety: material and design

Aura is made entirely of nonporous silicone—which is already a major advantage for hygiene and durability. Silicone withstands temperature changes, can be easily cleaned with soap and lukewarm water, and does not absorb odors or bacteria. The anchored base (the wide part at the opening) provides enhanced safety during anal use: it cannot disappear completely inside. I find this reassuring for anyone getting started with anal electrostimulation.

Dimensions and size: accessible and precise

Measuring 7.6 cm in insertable length and 8.4 cm in circumference, Aura is designed for beginners and sensitive anatomies. This balanced proportion enables direct stimulation of the G-spot or prostate without compromising comfort. Its moderate circumference (about 2.7 cm in diameter) makes it less intimidating than a wider probe while still providing enough presence for electrical sensations. Between us, this is a proportions calculation that many brands get wrong—here, it is well designed.

Use and electrostimulation compatibility

Use is straightforward: connect Aura’s two bipolar contacts to your stimulator, apply water-based lubricant (required—never use silicone lubricant on silicone), and let the electrical pulses do their work. Here are the key points:

• Water-based lubricant only — silicone + silicone lubricant = material degradation
• Clean after use — mild soap and lukewarm water, then dry completely before storing
• Store in a dry place — prevents mold from growing on the contacts
• Check the contacts — if they are oxidized, a wipe with 90% alcohol will restore them
• Do not share without a condom — even with silicone, use protection when sharing the toy

Who it is for and who it is not for

Ideal for: Beginners in electrostimulation, people looking for an accessible and non-intimidating probe, couples wanting to explore electropulse play together, and soft- to intermediate-level BDSM practitioners. Its moderate size also makes it suitable for sensitive anatomies or those hesitant about larger volumes.

Look elsewhere if: You are looking for a larger or more intense probe (larger-diameter probes are available; I would direct you to our specialized BDSM accessories). If you want pure vibrating pleasure without electropulse play, a classic vibrating probe will be more suitable. If you are completely new to BDSM, take the time to read the basics before getting started—electrostimulation requires careful adherence to safety protocols.

Friendly advice — Electrostimulation intimidates many people at first. Aura removes that barrier: it is small, discreet, and really not aggressive. Start gently, test the low settings on your stimulator, and increase gradually. You will quickly find out whether it is your thing or not.
