After the success of its debut Rose, it’s not surprising that Lovehoney decided to grow the range, adding some exciting extra features to the original toy. The Rose Glow 2-in-1 Clitoral Suction Stimulator features an insertable egg vibrator to target the G-spot, and disproving the old adage “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”, it scored higher in our tests than the original.
Our panellists praised the super sleek design, soft finish and variety of settings – that’s 10 different speeds and four vibrating patterns, to be exact. It gave “a whole new level of pleasure!” according to one tester. And one newbie to the suction device scene told us they’d definitely be using it again.
While egg-shaped vibrators are great for self-pleasure, they're also a popular toy for couples, making this option a good one to try with a partner.

This is another dual stimulator, but rather than a love egg, it has a unique G-spot ‘teasing’ handle, which also makes it easier to target the clitoris and move through the six speeds and four vibration patterns. When you’re ready to try some internal G-spot stimulation, simply flip the handle around to insert – it's as simple as that.
On full charge, you can expect 55 minutes of uninterrupted pleasure, which is plenty of time to try out all the different settings. It’s quiet too, with testers saying they managed to use it without fear of being overheard.
If you’re after a “pretty good and intense orgasm,” as one tester put it, the Floral Fantasy is the way to go.

The latest toy in the Rose collection is certainly a unique piece of kit. It features a flickering tongue, along with a gentle suction cup, to deliver pulses of pleasure directly to the clitoris. Due to the innovative design, a few testers said it took some getting used to – you place the cup over the vulva, turn on the suction setting and let the toy do the rest. The flickering tongue has three different speeds and seven vibration settings to suit all needs and desires.
One panel member described as being “quiet yet powerful”, and another liked that there was nothing phallic about it, saying they felt it was “very female focussed”. If you’re a fan of rose vibrators and you’re looking to experiment, this is a great pick.

Our testers had a lot of positive feedback for this toy, saying it was “quiet and effective”, and had a “gorgeous design”. Or, as one tester put it, “just wow.” Need we say more?

What is a rose vibrator?
These days, there are a wide range of sex toys on the market to choose from depending on your preference, including bullet vibrators, rabbit vibrators, and many more. You’ll find a guide to the different types and the benefits of each in our vibrator buying guide. But, it’s fair to say, rose vibrators are having a moment right now.
A rose vibrator is a clitoral suction device, which is designed to replicate the feeling of oral sex. Rather than standard vibrators, which use (you guessed it) vibrations to help arousal, suction devices use a delightful combination of airflow and pressure to stimulate the clitoris. They have a circular, silicone mouth with a motor inside that moves in and out. You press this against the body, and it will trap the air and deliver waves of pulsating pleasure.
Why should I invest in a rose vibrator?
Lovehoney’s original rose clitoral suction device is extremely popular, and for good reason too, according to our testing panel. So much so that the brand decided to expand its Rose range. Each device targets different pleasure points to help you reach orgasm, so there really should be a rose for everyone.
