Search for #TheRoseReview or #TheRoseToy (don’t bother searching for ‘sex toy’ — TikTok hides anything that’s obviously sex-related) and you’ll be inundated with personal reviews, instruction videos, and even memes about our flower-powered friend.
View full post on Tiktok But it’s not for everyone. Not all the reviews of the generic ‘Rose’ are positive, and that’s because Amazon is full of different sellers, meaning it can be hard to tell where your new bedside buddy actually came from.
The enjoyment (and safety) you get with the clit stim certainly depends on where you buy it and whether you’re getting a quality product, or a knock-off.
So, how do we tell the difference?
As excited as you may be to buy a trending sex toy online, it’s best to do some research first.
Dropshipping is big business when it comes to sex toys, which means you might not be getting the best quality pulser on the market. As many of the toys seem to come from China, the Rose may not even meet UK standards when it comes to body-safe materials and battery safety.
Ruby Payne, a sex toy expert from Uber Kinky says: “Sex toys fall under the very broad range of consumer product safety regulation, and they have no requirements specifically aimed at the design and creation of sex toys.”

“Because of this lack of regulation, many toys are made from unknown materials, possibly containing toxic chemicals, which are then bought and used by oblivious pleasure seekers. The best thing buyers can do is to only buy from reputable and legit sex toy companies.”
But listen, dropshipping isn’t an unsafe practice in general — it’s simply a way of cutting out the middleman.
Once you order a product, you’re getting the product straight from the supply chain to you, but this does mean that the ‘middleman’, AKA a brand or retailer, isn’t around to check the product, ensure it meets standards, and covers things like postage, returns, and any issues with quality.
An honest review of the Rose clit sucker
When it comes to sex toys, I consider myself an expert. As a woman with mobility issues, sex toys have helped me explore my body and rediscover what pleasure meant for me when I first became disabled. Sex toys provided me with the initial privacy and pleasure to explore what I could still feel and what I wanted out of sex, both solo and with a partner.
I quickly learned that while G-spot sex toys aren’t for me, toys with a sucking function — which is exactly what the Rose is all about — really work, as I can use them on multiple erogenous zones.
So I was intrigued, could the Rose live up to the hype? Was it worth the money? And, was it safe? There was only one way to find out.
There are multiple different versions of the Rose to go for but I opted for Lovehoney’s, which promised fast delivery and had many (!) five-star reviews.
It arrived the next day and, according to the box, was made from hypoallergenic silicone. Nice and body-safe.
They say it’s what’s inside that counts… but this does look blooming good It’s also one of the prettiest sex toys I’ve ever held in my hands. Its ornamental look makes the Rose discreet by nature, and it comes with a privacy-awarding silencing feature.
The Rose is also waterproof and makes for the perfect bath-time company.

But when my Rose toy arrived, I employed some initial caution. Once it was fully charged (thankfully mine worked just fine) I carefully used the toy on my nipples just to see what the ten-point suction ability was really like. I have to admit, I was immediately blown away.
A simple easy-access button means you can go from one to ten swiftly, although you might want to bite down on a towel if you’re going for ten straight away.
I’ve tested a lot of supposedly realistic sucking sex toys, but nothing has compared to the Rose. On my nipples with a small amount of lube, it felt like I had someone there working on my sensitive parts and biting down at just the right moments.
I’d have been happy with just its nipple-sucking function. But, in the name of truly trying and testing, it was time to use it on my clitoris. Adding some lube (I’ve popped my favourites below), I set to work, initially starting slow and then working my way up the powerful pulsing modes.

The pulsating suction felt like I was at the mercy of an oral genius, giving, then taking away just enough pressure to help edge me closer to orgasm.
Rocking the Rose comfortably in the palm of my hand just backwards and forwards added to the pleasure and I found myself reaching orgasm quicker than with most sex toys I’ve used in the past — and absolutely quicker than most partners I’ve been with!
I later tested out the Rose’s waterproof feature in the bath and, honestly, it felt like I broke some sort of Olympic record for having a super quick orgasm.
So, am I as addicted to the Rose as the rest of TikTok? Yes. I’ve got to hand it to social media. I’ve been influenced to buy many products from online hype but this has to be the best purchase so far.
Whether you’re a sex tech beginner or more of an expert like me, the Rose doesn’t fail to help you achieve an absolute banger of an orgasm in no time.
“I felt like I broke some sort of Olympic record for having a super quick orgasm”I’ll be reaching for the Rose again when I fancy something quick to set me up for the day, or if I don’t fancy being in the bath or shower alone.
So yes, I can wholeheartedly confirm the Rose that I purchased lives up to the TikTok hype, however, it’s clear that not all versions of the toy do. If you’re unsure, I’d recommend reading as many of the five-star reviews as possible to check if they seem fake.
If in doubt, opt for the Lovehoney Rose or another of their powerful clit suckers. Safety first!
