Outside shipping package was discreet as always. The inside packaging was a simple black box and very discreet.
The first thing I noticed was the size of the Black Rose. It fit perfectly in my hand, would be easy to use alone or with a partner, and would be travel friendly. The texture was very soft and delicate.

The Black Rose comes with a USB magnetic charger; the cord was long enough for me, and it took up very little space. Charging didn't take very long at all. I appreciated the light around the power button showing me when it was charging vs when charging was complete.

My first go with the Black Rose was solo play. On my back in the bedroom to get acquainted with the new toy. I cycled through the ten settings to see what all it offered. At first, I was worried about the noise, but after some adjusting, I finally found the perfect placement, and the noise level dropped. It took mere moments on the first setting before I climaxed and it was out of this world.

I have tried solo play many times over the past few weeks, and every single time, the Black Rose delivers! It can go with you in the shower, which I did try, but I preferred the bedroom overall.
The settings are fun to play with and help slow down how quickly the big O comes. I still haven't managed to use the strongest setting, but I see this toy staying in my normal rotation, so there is plenty of time to get there.
The texture of the toy is very nice and velvety. The size is perfect! It is small enough that you can take it with you easily, comfortable to hold for solo play, and small enough not to interfere during sex. It really does spice up time with your partner without being awkward and in the way.

The Black Rose holds a charge well and lasts through multiple uses. I did go ahead and charge before using it with my partner because I wanted to make sure we could give it a go without it dying. It lasted well past our time together before I needed to charge it again.

The only thing I dislike about the Black Rose is that the folds take some time to clean. They don't really seem necessary for pleasure. The black material makes light-colored lint very noticeable.

The vibrations vary with each setting. Some are constant and some vary. It is rumbly from the middle to the tip of the rose but it doesn't cause my hand to feel odd after using.

The first orgasm I had with this toy was toe curling. That being said, every orgasm with the Black Rose has been that way. The vibrations and air pulses create orgasms quickly and it's taken a bit of time to figure out how to last longer before the big O. This toy makes multiple orgasms easily reachable with and without your partner.
If you aren't feeling it at first, try repositioning the Black Rose. Once you get the proper position, the intensity goes up, and the noise level (from the toy) goes down.
