The Emma's rose bulb butt plug is a somewhat daunting toy. I knew that going in. I was actually asked if I wanted to review this toy, due to its girth. I happily accepted and waited by the P.O. Box. The day it arrived, I was ready as ready could be.

When I took it out of the package, my first thought was, "how pretty!" My second thought was, "that's not so big - I have no fears!" Ahem. Yes, I really thought that. I have other anal sex toys similarly sized, so it didn't seem huge or even terribly large. I was ready to go!

Lube, lube and more lube went all over the Emma's rose bulb. It does, indeed look like a rose that hasn't yet bloomed. It has lovely little ridges that make it so. Whilst lubing my pretty rose, I noticed one thing that I absolutely did not like. The wire that goes to the battery pack/controls leads out of the side of the bulb, rather than the bottom. I don't know what is normal, as this is one of my first butt plugs. I knew, however, that I would feel that wire, and I would not like it. I pressed on.

The vibrations from the bullet were very nice. Of the four settings, I found the third to be just right. Unfortunately, after much relaxing and pushing and pressing and pressure, I was unable to get the Rose bulb butt plug in all the way. It didn't make much sense to me, I'd been able to take other such things of similar size - why not this? I pushed myself too far the first time and ended up sore. I settled for an orgasm with my trusty Hitachi and called it a night.

The next time I tried, I used even more lubricants. Still no go. At that point I was frustrated, but needed to do it, if only once. My husband volunteered to help, I accepted. With ridiculous amounts of lube, patience, relaxation, more lube and more patience, I rode his cock while he slowly eased it into me. After some initial pain, it finally settled where we needed it to be. I was so full, between the butt plug and his cock that it took only moments to reach orgasm. His followed shortly after.

Finally! I had achieved my goal! I paid for it for a day or so. I believe that my difficulties were caused by the raised pattern of rose "leaves" at the thickest point of the bulb. While they aren't raised very high, the combination of four of them added quite a bit to it and made getting over that widest part more difficult than I had expected.

All in all, the Emma's Rose Bulb butt plug is a nice toy. I would recommend the Rose bulb only to those who like their toys on the girthy side. It might not look all that large but trust me, it's HUGE!
