They say when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. Well, that "rose" toy—the one that took the internet by storm this summer—has finally received an upgrade.
If you've come across this rose-shaped toy before—you know, the one that uses air-pulse suction—you're likely familiar with the original version. While it was certainly popular, long-time users pointed out a few drawbacks: it lacked vibration, the intensity settings weren't very nuanced, and the color options were extremely limited.
Now, an upgraded version has arrived. I've spent three weeks testing it, and today I'll break down exactly what's been improved.
Not every "viral" toy upgrade is worth buying. I've been testing these products for years—my office is basically a makeshift sex-toy boutique—and I've even earned a certification from the Sextech School. More importantly, I live with endometriosis, interstitial cystitis, and occasional vaginismus. Because of this, I'm incredibly selective—especially when it comes to finding toys that can help me reach orgasm without triggering pelvic pain. Many big-name products cause me discomfort, let alone the cheap, low-quality ones. This upgraded rose is one of the few I've decided to keep.
What exactly is it?
It's a clitoral massager designed to look like a rosebud. It features 8 levels of air-pulse suction, plus 6 independent vibration modes—a new addition not found in the original version. Made from skin-friendly silicone and ABS plastic, it comes in a soft pink-to-white gradient. In your hand, it doesn't look like a sex toy; it looks more like an aromatherapy ornament or a small decorative flower.
The new rose toy have a quiet motor. The packaging claims it's "ultra-quiet," and it's noticeably quieter than the previous model. In my own testing, I found that while there's a faint hum if you hold it right up to your ear, it's completely inaudible from the next room. If you live with roommates, parents, or in a dorm, this is a total game-changer.
Other hang, it's also waterproof—the entire device can be rinsed under running water. It's USB-rechargeable, so no need to worry about batteries. It holds a charge for a long time; I didn't track the exact hours, but it's definitely not the kind of device that needs to be plugged in every few days. It's compact enough to fit in the palm of your hand. It's not one of those intimidating, wand-style massagers; instead, it's shaped like a little flower bud—barely larger than an egg.
What's in the box?
The device itself, a pink velvet storage pouch, a small instruction manual, and a USB charging cable.
The packaging is quite lovely—it's pink, features the phrase "LOVE IS A ROSE," and includes an illustration of an anime-style girl. Unboxing it is a pleasant experience, unlike the typical, nondescript black boxes often used for such products—some of which even have the word "SEX" plastered on them. This one wouldn't look out of place on a vanity, and the shipping box contains no sensitive labels, so you won't feel awkward when picking up your package from the front desk.
Note that it doesn't come with a wall adapter; it uses a USB cable, so you'll need to plug it into a phone charger you already own. That's hardly an issue, though—who doesn't have a few spare phone chargers lying around these days?
How to use the new one
There's a single button: long-press to turn it on, and short-press to cycle through the settings.
There are 8 levels of air-pulse suction, ranging from a gentle, feather-light touch to something quite powerful. There are also 6 vibration modes—this is the biggest upgrade from the previous version, which only offered suction. You can use suction alone, vibration alone, or both together. This adds a whole new dimension; the old version could feel a bit monotonous after a while, but the addition of vibration makes the experience much richer.
The 8 suction levels offer a great range. Level 1 is so delicate—like a butterfly's wing brushing against you—that you might initially wonder if it's even on. Level 8, however, is genuinely powerful—something experienced users will likely appreciate. Personally, I usually start at level 3 and work my way up.
It does have one recurring drawback: the single-button design doesn't allow you to cycle backward. If you want to reach a specific setting, you have to click through the entire sequence. For instance, if you want level 5, you have to click from 1 all the way to 5. It's a bit annoying, but you get used to it—and since most people start low and gradually increase the intensity anyway, it's not a major deal-breaker.
Make sure to charge it fully before use. And don't jump straight to using it on your body—try it out on your arm first to get a feel for the intensity of each setting. Lubricant isn't strictly necessary, but it definitely enhances the experience. Just remember: stick to water-based lubricants. Oil-based, silicone-based, or alcohol-containing products can damage the silicone material.
Don't rush things at the start. This toy isn't designed to hit you with an intense, overwhelming sensation the moment you turn it on. Its real magic lies in the foreplay phase—keep it on a low setting and let it pulse rhythmically, syncing with your breathing. As your body warms up, you can gradually dial up the intensity.
My Personal Experience
Who is this toy for?
It's perfect for those who prefer external clitoral stimulation over internal play. It's also great if you're looking for powerful suction—perhaps to use alongside an internal toy for dual stimulation—or if, like me, you have pelvic issues that make internal use impossible.
At level 1, it provides a gentle, rhythmic pulse. As you slowly increase the intensity—reaching level 5 or 6—oh, wow.
Compared to the previous version, the transitions between the 8 suction levels are much smoother; there's no jarring jump where it suddenly becomes way too intense. The old model's transitions felt a bit abrupt, but this upgraded version has been refined. My personal favorite combination is suction level 4 paired with vibration mode 3—the blend of suction and subtle vibration creates a layered sensation that the old, suction-only model just couldn't offer.
I'm a big fan of the design—it's shaped like a flower bud and fits perfectly in the palm of your hand; it's neither too big nor too small. The suction opening is tucked between the "petals," making it easy to position precisely over the clitoris—unlike many other suction toys that can be frustratingly difficult to align. Because it's so easy to hold, I imagine it would be quite comfortable for someone with arthritis or carpal tunnel syndrome (I actually have carpal tunnel myself, haha!).
I also have to mention the color—a beautiful pink-to-white gradient. While the original version only came in a single shade of pink, this upgraded model features a lovely transition, fading from a deep pink at the tips of the petals to an off-white at the base. You could place it next to your perfume, jewelry, or scented candles, and no one would give it a second glance. A friend of mine came over for yoga, spotted it on my vanity, picked it up, and asked, "What brand of candle is this? It's so cute!" I paused for a second and just said, "Yeah... it's a candle." I use this myself, and it's incredibly reliable—it never lets me down. It even features a vibration mode; using a low-intensity setting during foreplay is a great way to "warm up"—it's much gentler than jumping straight into the suction function. For someone like me who struggles with natural lubrication (thanks to some gynecological issues), this foreplay feature is a total game-changer. It's also perfect for use with a partner—you can lie back while they hold it, and just call out "turn it up a notch" whenever you need more intensity. It's so much better than fumbling around on your own!
The design is completely discreet. Whether you're a beginner, a college student, or living with roommates, you could leave this on your vanity without anyone suspecting a thing. It's compact, easy to toss into a travel bag, and won't cause any awkward moments at airport security.
What Real Users Are Saying
Don't just take my word for it—here's what others have to say. I've pulled a few reviews from the official website and Reddit:
"I owned the previous version, and as soon as this upgraded model came out, I switched immediately. The addition of the vibration mode makes a huge difference—the old version felt a bit one-note after a while."
"Ladies! I thought this little pink thing was just a cute decorative piece. But wow—the 8 levels of suction are absolutely incredible. My husband says he's effectively been 'laid off' from the job!"
"I've tried that popular 'lemon' toy, and I've also tried this 'rose' one. Honestly, the rose offers much better value—it's half the price, has all the same features, *plus* that extra vibration mode."
"I've had a really hard time reaching climax since hitting menopause. My daughter bought this for me—I was a bit embarrassed to use it at first, but—it actually works! I'm 58, ladies!"
One review that really stuck with me came from a woman who had previously bought three high-end suction toys—all of them way too expensive. This one costs less than $50, yet the suction is just as powerful. Plus, the gradient pink color is so pretty that she can't bring herself to hide it away in a drawer!
Is It Worth Buying?
If you're a beginner, dealing with pelvic floor issues, going through menopause or perimenopause, have historically struggled to reach climax, or simply can't stand internal-use toys—this upgraded model is definitely worth a try. It's also fantastic for warming things up during foreplay. At $49.99, it's less than half the price of similar products from major brands. It features 8 levels of suction and 6 vibration modes—everything you'd expect, and at a great price. Plus, the packaging is attractive, so you don't have to feel awkward about having it out.
If you already own the previous version, is this upgrade worth it? I'd say yes. The added vibration modes aren't just a gimmick; they genuinely elevate the experience. Also, the pink-to-white gradient color is a huge improvement over the original.
However, if you're a seasoned pro who's already explored high-end, powerful suction devices, the 8-level limit might not be intense enough for you. This product can't compete with professional-grade devices that cost $199. If you're chasing extreme suction, look into brands like Womanizer.
But for someone like me—living with endometriosis—this cute, quiet, pink little "flower bud" is an absolute steal at under $50. It guarantees an orgasm without triggering my pelvic pain.
