If you’ve been on the internet at all over the last few years, you will have no doubt seen the cult favourite sex toy — the Rose.
Two years since its launch, The One (who made the original toy before various iterations sprouted up across every sex toy shop out there), has released its viral Rose in two new colours (pink and purple, what else?) to mark its success. Even better, they’re 50% off RN.

The red flower-shaped clit sucker first rose to fame in 2021, when rave reviews about its discreet shape, suction power, and ability to “steal” (as one reviewer described it) near-instant orgasms flooded TikTok.
Despite the platform’s strict rules about discussing sexual content — with sex education creators famously referring to the act as ‘seggs’ — fans of the toy found ways to bypass the guidelines to share their adoration of this genius piece of sex tech.
Four years later, #TheRoseReview has over 54 million videos on the app, while #R O S E T O Y has 774.6 million posts under it. To give you an idea of why the toy popped off quite so much, one commenter on a video with 631k likes said: “The first time I used mine I had to collect my soul off the ceiling.” Wow.
While TikTok reviews of the famous flower are mixed — owing to the number of knock-off versions sold by Amazon and fast fashion retailers like Temu and Shein (who we wouldn’t recommend ever buying a sex toy from due to a lack of regulation) — The One and Lovehoney’s models are the official versions we would recommend in the UK.
Since innovating the vogue vibrator two years ago, The One has sold around 13 toys per day. The key to the toy’s success? Its unique shape and, ofc, its ability to cause mind blowing Os, according to sexologist Gigi Engle.“This was one of the best viral campaigns, however it is also a really good toy,” she remembers.
“Firstly it looks like a rose, so it can be displayed next to your bed on a nightstand, and nobody would even know that it was a sex toy.”
“And then of course, it’s a clitoral suction toy, which is really reliable for producing orgasms. A lot of people really enjoy this toy as it’s a great starter toy and other people have been trying it and having a completely new experience like no other.”
Aside from being a pretty addition to your bedside table, the toy is set with seven vibration patterns and three speeds, which can be used to stimulate each of your erogenous zones to mind-blooming orgasms (see what we did there?).
Our very own reviewer (who identifies as a disabled cis woman) says she felt like she “broke some sort of Olympic record for having a super quick orgasm” after testing the Lovehoney Rose.
Plus, the toy is fully waterproof for all you shower-flowerers out there, and fully charges in under an hour. So what are you waiting for? Run, don’t walk, to get the new colours!
