Silicone Rose Vibe

I have to admit that this vibrator both intrigued me and made me feel like a giant cheese for wanting it.  The Silicone Rose Vibe is a flexible vibrator that is shaped like…yep, you guessed it! A rose.  To make things a bit more cheesy, this comes in a package similar to what a rose you’d buy at a florist shop would be in and even has a little ‘To: and From:’ card on it.  The top of the vibrator is a closed rose bud and the ‘flexible’ part comes in with the green silicone stem.  The rose bud is the part that vibrates and is controlled by a white plastic base with a push button on the bottom.  This vibrator takes 2 AAA batteries and actually has a decent vibration strength.  I have always heard that Evolved Novelties vibrators were good quality, but this is the first one of their products I have tried.  I have to say that I’m not disappointed with the experience.

So let’s talk about the dimensions of the Rose Vibe.  The rose bud itself is about 2.5 inches long and is smooth, velvety silicone with a good amount of drag against the skin.  There are three raised lines on the bud that simulate the curled petal leaves visually while providing minimal textural stimulation.  The green stem is 5.5 inches long and is also smooth and velvety.  The stem can be bent in a curve that allows the bud to be even with the battery pack and even pressed a little lower to where the bud base aligns with the base of the battery pack but is arced slightly away.  It doesn’t take much pressure to move the bud from the position you place it in, though.  The battery pack is about 3 inches long, so that puts the total of this vibrator at 11 inches.  Honestly, it’s a little long for my tastes.

The nice thing about the vibrating rose is that it doesn’t have just one boring setting.  There are a total of seven vibration settings to choose from.  The first three settings are all steady vibrations ranging from low to high.  The fourth vibration is three pulses that start with a short pulse followed by lengthening pulses.  The fifth setting is is five short pulses followed by a 2 second long pulse before repeating.  Setting number six has 2 longer pulses followed by 4 short pulses and  #7 has 3 short fast pulses followed by a 1 second long pulse which is repeated without pauses.  To turn off the vibrations, just hold the button down until it stops.

But how does it perform?  I was delightfully surprised to find that the strength of the vibrations are pretty good.  The length of the stem makes it a little awkward to use the rose for masturbation, but it can be done.  The best way to use this alone is to hold the bud itself or just below the bud on the stem.  If you hold the base or lower down on the stem you risk the flexibility working against you if any pressure is placed on it.  I found it extremely frustrating to try and put the amount of pressure I desire on my clit holding any part further down on the them.  The rose bud is where the motor for the vibrator is located and where the vibrations are focused, with the most being at the base of the bud.  There is a little bit of squishiness to the rose bud but only the tip bends at all.  I did use the stem during one session to kind of smack the rose bud against my clit when I was about to orgasm and the squishiness made it not uncomfortable to do so.  I didn’t use the bud of the rose for internal stimulation because, for me, this is all about clitoral stimulation.  The vibrations can be felt down the stem but it is so thin that it wouldn’t give any feeling of fullness, which I prefer. I think the rose is ideal for some sensory play.  You can use the tip of the rose to tease yourself or your partner.  It can also be used to twist into a position and place it between you or somewhere on your partner’s body while you do something else.  Just remember that any pressure could cause the shape of the rose stem to change.

To care for the silicone rose, use water and soap.  According to the Evolved Novelties site, this is a waterproof toy but Babeland lists it as splashproof.  I didn’t submerge this just to make sure it didn’t get ruined, but it ran under running water and after being exposed to running water with no problems.  You could also use a toy cleaner to clean this without problems.  Make sure you that if you use any lubricant with this that you only use water-based lubes and avoid any silicone to silicone contact among your toys.
