This by far is one of the more surprising toys I've gotten. This for more than a couple reasons. The first surprise was how tiny it is. When seeing it on-line I thought it was a bit bigger, but when I got it, it is no bigger than my palm with all its parts. How cute! The biggest surprise however was how much power it packed considering the tiny little wand. I am a huge fan of the bullet or egg, as you may know if you read any of my other reviews, so when it comes to a stimulator like this one, I am very set in my ways as to what I like, and a hard sell on ones that don't work as well. They will get taken out of service very quickly if they don't work. I'm also very hesitant of any vibrator that claims 7 Function!!! on the package, as this one does, because for me, a constant buzz is much more efficient than a bunch of crazy vibration patterns I will never use, but with this one, I would consider most of them very useful. Out of the 7 functions, 4 are some degree of a constant vibration, the others are a increase and decrease, a slow pulsing, and a faster pulsing. With some of the the vibrators I've had in the past, it takes so long to get to the function that works that it is distracting. This one I did not have any problem finding a setting quickly and easily that worked just right.

The Redbud is made up of two parts. The little wand, which is a little narrower then a woman's pinky and about an inch and a half long. This is on a electric cord with a jack on the opposite end, which is about 2 feet long. The only downfall to this is that while in mid play it may pull out of the flower power pack, but the bonus to that is that you have less chance of a broken toy. If it gets yanked it can be put right back in instead of with other similar products where you would need a electrical know how to fix it. The other advantage to it being in two parts is that if you are not comfortable traveling or carrying around a vibrator you can separate the two parts and pack them in different compartments, with no chance of accidentally turning it on and needing to explain yourself. The additional piece is the little flower which houses the 4 LR44 batteries. A really nice little feature is it has a strap, almost like a camera would have, to hold on to the flower. It is not big enough to put around your wrist, unfortunately, at least not mine, but enough to get a few fingers in, and you don't have to worry about it getting lost while you are preoccupied with getting off.

The box claims vagina and anus use, but I would be very hesitant in using it too far in your anus, just because the nature of its size and a cord that can be removed, it seems like it could vibrate away and be harder to retrieve. It is nice however for an outer tickle. For inside and outside of the vagina it works very well. It is a nice little device that can be put in before your partners penis and it doesn't take up much room or have uncomfortable angles, and it makes for some really great extra stimulation.

My one concern is the claim of 100% Waterproof!!! on the box. I have no doubt that the little wand can be submerged to your hearts delight, but I don't know that the Rosebud's flower could be continuously saturated and have a long life span. The little door for the batteries doesn't have any sealing material and the hole for the plug seems like it could get fluid in it if exposed too much.

The company recommends either toy cleaner (recommends 'safe suds') or warm soapy water for cleaning. It is made out of plastic, and it is very velvety to the touch. The product is recommended with water based lubricants, for added ease of use.

It is a nice change to the bullets I use, because you can use it pretty hands free. It tucks right into your clit, and when you're close with your partner the distraction of a big hard egg in there is gone, instead its all vibration, because its so small. It doesn't have as strong of a vibration to traditional bullets I have, but it has enough, and the exchange for it being so small is worth it.

Unfortunately I still like it, but I don't know if it will hold up in the long haul. As suspected, the batteries that came with it didn't last very long. I highly recommend buying additional batteries right off the bat if you purchase this. I don't know if the ones included are just cheap or if they where stored too long, but they fizzled out quickly. It could also have to do with the fact that they are watch batteries, but either way, have some on stand by if you take this as a travel companion. I would hate to be in an airport looking for watch batteries for your rose bud bullet because I packed it for an extra little something and it's got no juice.
