What Is a Rose Vibrator (and How Do You Use One)?
A few years ago, a little rose went viral. Suddenly everyone wanted a toy that looked like it came from a florist, and the rose vibrator became one of the most searched-for toys around.
So what actually is one, and how do you use it? Here's the short version.
What is a rose vibrator?
A rose vibrator is any toy shaped like a rose. The flower design is the point: it's pretty, it doesn't look like a toy, and it's far less awkward to leave on a bedside table than the usual suspects.
The different types
- The classic rose. A small rose head that sits against the clitoris and uses air pulses or suction rather than vibration. This is the one that went viral.
- The rose with extras. A rose head paired with a second part for internal use.
- The rose wand. A rose head on a slim handle. The handle gives you more reach and control, so you can explore more easily without your hand getting tired.
How to use one for the first time
- Charge it fully before your first go, so it doesn't fade halfway through.
- Wash it with warm water and mild soap or a toy cleaner.
- Add lube. A little water-based lube makes everything smoother. If your toy is silicone, avoid silicone lube, as it can damage the surface over time.
- Start on the lowest setting. Rose toys can be surprisingly strong. Begin gently and work your way up.
- Explore first. Don't go straight for the obvious spot. Try your inner thighs, your stomach and around the edges first. Anticipation is half the fun.
- Move, or don't. Some people like to hold it still, others like small circles. There's no wrong answer.
Looking after it
Clean it after every use, let it dry fully, and keep it in a soft pouch away from other toys. It'll stay looking as lovely as the day it arrived.
