What Is Pulsetto Fit?

Pulsetto Fit Australia is a wearable vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) device. It’s designed to help with stress, sleep, anxiety, and general nervous system regulation.

It’s an upgraded version of their earlier model (Pulsetto Lite), with improvements in comfort, battery, and stimulation modes.

How Pulsetto Fit Works (Simple Explanation)

  1. You apply a small amount of conductive gel to the device pads.
  2. Place it on your neck — the magnetic paddings help adjust the fit.
  3. Open the Pulsetto App and choose a program:
    • Stress
    • Anxiety/Worry
    • Sleep
    • Burnout
    • Pain
  4. The device delivers rhythmic stimulation pulses that calm the nervous system within minutes.

The new wave-like pulse mode feels more natural and is designed to match your breathing rhythm.

Key Features

  1. Dual-technology Stimulation
    Pulsetto Fit uses a non-invasive technique to stimulate the vagus nerve through the skin at your neck.
  2. Pulsating Mode
    Unlike the older models, Fit introduces a “wave-like” pulse pattern — the intensity goes up and down, designed to feel more natural and synced to breathing.
  3. Custom Fit
    Comes with two magnetic paddings of different sizes so you can adjust it to your neck.
  4. Longer Battery
    About 20% more battery life than the Lite.
  5. App Integration
    • You control the device via the Pulsetto app (iOS / Android).
    • App has 5 stimulation programs: Stress, Worry, Sleep, Burnout, Pain.
    • Also includes a sound library optimized for the device.
    • Optional Premium subscription in the app for extra content.
  6. Build Quality & Durability
    Pulsetto claims Fit has “reinforced materials” for better durability.
  7. Accessories Included
    The package includes:
    • Pulsetto Fit device
    • Two magnetic padding inserts
    • 60g conductive gel tube
    • USB-C charging cable
    • User manual
  8. Certifications & Safety
    • FCC-certified.
    • Uses “ultra low radiofrequency energy” (ULRE).
    • Not recommended for people with active implantable medical devices (pacemaker, hearing implants, etc.).
  9. Money-Back Guarantee
    30-day money-back guarantee is offered.

How to Use It

  • Apply the conductive gel to the contact points (on the device) or directly on the skin of your neck.
  • Put the device on your neck; adjust with the magnetic paddings so it fits snugly.
  • Turn on the device, connect via the app, and pick a program (Stress, Sleep, etc.).
  • A typical session lasts 4 minutes or more, depending on the program.
  • Use it up to twice a day, per official instructions.

Potential Benefits

  • Stress Reduction: Vagus nerve stimulation helps activate parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) response, which can reduce stress.
  • Better Sleep: Users report improved sleep, using it in a wind-down routine.
  • Improved Focus: Some users say it helps them calm down before tasks or “reset” their nervous system.
  • Heart Rate Variability (HRV): May help improve HRV, which is a marker of autonomic (nervous system) balance.
  • Durability & Comfort: With the new padding, it fits more neck sizes.

Possible Downsides / Risks

  • Connection Issues: Some users report app connection problems or Bluetooth disconnects. > “Doesn’t support running in the background … device may disconnect.”
  • Build Quality: A few users say the device cracked or broke after repeated use.
  • Safety Concerns:
    • Not for people with implants.
    • Some users reported neck muscle spasms or discomfort if placed or fit improperly.
  • Overuse: There are warnings in user forums about using it too frequently.
  • Price Drops & Customer Support: Some users are unhappy about price drops soon after purchase and raise issues about customer service.
  • Offline Use: According to some users, the device may not work offline — it needs app connection.

Real User Feedback

  • Positive: Several users say they feel calmer within a few minutes, especially when targeting stress.
  • Concern: One user with dysautonomia said their heart rate dropped significantly during sessions, and that made them cautious.
  • Durability: A user found a crack in the plush/cushion area after regular use.
  • Support: Mixed reviews — some say support is slow or unhelpful.

My Assessment: Is It Worth It?

Pulsetto Fit is a strong option if you:

  • Want a non-drug, non-invasive way to calm down regularly
  • Are okay using a wearable device for a few minutes daily
  • Are comfortable with moderate cost for wellness tech
  • Have a neck size that fits well or can benefit from the adjustable paddings
  • Don’t have a pacemaker or similar device

It’s not a cure-all, and it’s probably not ideal for:

  • People who chew through devices or need something ultra-durable
  • Those who are extremely sensitive to electrical stimulation
  • Anyone uncomfortable with Bluetooth-app dependency

If you’re curious, the 30-day money-back guarantee is helpful — you can try it and see if it actually helps you.

Who Should NOT Use Pulsetto Fit

Avoid it if you have:

  • A pacemaker
  • An implanted medical device
  • A cochlear implant
  • Any concern diagnosed by a cardiologist or neurologist (ask your doctor first)

Also: some users report occasional connection issues with the app, so it’s not completely “offline-friendly.”

Final Thoughts

Pulsetto Fit brings meaningful upgrades to Pulsetto’s vagus nerve stimulation device: better comfort, a rhythmic (wave) stimulation mode, and a longer battery. For many people dealing with stress, sleep issues, or just wanting a “reset” tool for their nervous system, it could be a game-changer.

That said, it’s not free, and it does come with some trade-offs. The user-experience can vary, and support or durability are real concerns for some people.
