If I had to describe my feelings toward this product in one word, I would have to say "Meh." There were some things I liked about this product, but more things that I didn't like, in all honesty. As someone who needs more vibration, externally and internally, to achieve orgasm, this product just didn't do it for me. I found that the vibration provided to the clitoris was only satisfying on the highest levels. This can be an issue for some since the Rosebud gets quite loud the higher it is set. Also, I was disappointed by the fact that the Rosebud only provides vibration in the butterfly (to the clitoris), not the shaft, which rotates at different speeds depending on setting. The subtle rotation of the shaft did nothing for me and the lack of vibration was an even bigger let down.

Another huge issue I had with this toy was with the control pad. The controls are operated by two sliding bars. The bars do not 'click' into place and are very easy to move and slide. This means that it is very easy to accidentally adjust them during use, a very frustrating downside. Since the bars take up the whole handle, you have to be very mindful of how you hold the toy throughout its use so as not to constantly be changing the settings.

Other, less serious issues, I had with this toy include: the fact that it gets quite noisy as you increase the intensity of its settings, the poor battery life, the fact that the toy is not waterproof (considering its price, it would've been a nice feature), and the poor design. The battery pack is easy to accidentally pop open, and almost any, even slight, bending of the angle of the toy (to the shaft or the top 'arm') causes it to behave erratically and momentarily cease functioning.

In an effort to not be a negative Nancy, there were some aspects of this toy that I very much enjoyed. I like that the Rosebud is made of silicone. The silicone feels nice on the skin and is easy to clean- just make sure to use the right cleaner! The butterfly arm that provides stimulation to the clitoris is well designed and has well placed wings and antennae that feel better than any other butterfly or rabbit attachment I have tried thus far.
