Packaging-


The bendable Rose Vibrator arrived in a simple clear plastic cylindrical tube with a red ribbon, presented much like how you might receive a single red rose on valentines day. My first impression was that this would make an great gift for a romantic occasion such as valentines, an anniversary, honeymoon or even a romantic weekend away.


Stem-

Once I had easily slipped the Bendable Rose out of its protective tube of packaging, I could feel just how bendable it is. I spent the next few minutes testing out the green ‘stem’ portion of the toy to see how far it can bend and how well it can hold its form once bent into a suited position; I concluded that this is a toy true to its name. The stem of the rose is quite malleable and will hold its shape until enough pressure is applied to it.

The flexible length of the stem measures 4 1/2 inches long.

Handle-

The white handle which is also the battery compartment is a comfortable shape to hold and fits the hand well. It has a ribbed effect which helps with grip during use. The handle of the toy is also where the toys batteries are stored, to change its batteries simply untwist the top of the handle to reveal the battery compartment within. The Bendable Rose is powered by two AAA batteries. The first time that myself and my partner were about to use our Bendable Rose, we found ourselves at a hotel with no batteries packed and considered it lucky that it is powered by a widely available battery. Being the thoughtful partner that he is, my husband was quick to pop out to a local garage shop to stock up on AAA’s. After placing a set f fresh batteries into the compartment I learnt that paying attention to the + and – signs on the compartment and turning the lid back slightly before twisting it into place is the trick to placing the batteries properly an securing the top.

Handle Length- (not including the stem) 3 inches


Rose Bud-

The rose bud part of this toy is covered in silicone and comes in colour options of pink or red, I love having colour options with toys as for me the colour of a toy can make or break its visual appeal. I was happy to see that I had been sent the red rose to test. The fact that the bud is silicone was a huge plus for me as I have recently become more conscious about the material choices I make when purchasing toys and I look for toys with a high material safety. The bud looks like that of a rose with closed petals, with a thicker base and slim tip. Within the outer layer of silicone the bud contains an egg type vibrator which can be felt if you squeeze the bud.

In Use-

Once I had removed the Bendable Rose from its romantic packaging by Evolved Novelties and had examined its every elegant detail and of course filled it with a set of batteries, I was ready for action. There was also a bonus to it arriving on the day that it did, myself and my partner were booked into a hotel for the following two nights and that can only mean one thing, A whole weekend of dedicated toy testing! On our first night at the hotel I was eager to get my new toy out for a test. After laying back and pressing the single small flat power button on top of the battery compartment, the rose bud came to life with vibration. The design of having the ---- inch long stem between the vibrating part of the toy and the handle/control means that you can lay back without straining or stretching muscles. That definitely made a nice change from the usual position I have with vibrators which will usually end in a tired arm if it’s a decent session.

In use the silicone material of the rose bud warms up to your body temperature and the shape/ varying thickness of the bud allows it nestle in to exactly the spot where you want it and With the Bendable Rose featuring 10 different functions, I was impressed from the start even the first function I experienced, the lowest setting of steady vibration, which had a slightly rumbling feeling of vibration rather than a fast buzzy vibration. Each time the single power button is pressed it moves onto the next function of either a higher level of vibration or a different setting of patterned/pulsing vibration. I found the best way to use it was to start out on the lowest level of vibration and take time to experience each setting before moving onto the next giving yourself a taste of every different sensation the Rose offers. What can be even better is giving a partner control of the handle so you can lay back and enjoy the sensation while not knowing when your partner will turn up the heat by pressing for the next function.

To switch off the buds vibration simply press and hold the power button for a few seconds, unlike some multi-funtion toys, there is no having to scroll through every function to bring an end to your session.
