How We Picked The Products
Rose butt plugs boast a beautiful design that is appealing to beginners and advanced users alike. To ensure that we included a product suitable for every experience level, we put each of our picks through a rigorous testing process, which I will outline below.
Because rose plugs come in limited supply, after scouring the sites of our favorite and most trusted sex toy retailers we were left with only ten high-quality products to put through our testing process. I then gathered my team of product testers (Sandra Larson, Shane Davis, and myself), a combination of both male and female sex experts, and it was time to get to work personally testing each of our potential picks. We spent time with each product, testing it both solo and with our partners. Afterward, we filled out questionnaires that helped us grade each product out of 100 based on the test criteria outlined below. We also include comments related to user experience to ensure our recommended products are equipped to satisfy the unique body shapes and sizes of our readers.
- Design. Certain design features, like a tapered tip and flared base, are a must-have for all anal-specific adult products. Our team also took into account features that helped enhance sensation, ease of insertion, or overall aesthetic appeal.
- Quality. Generally, you can gauge the quality of sex toys by how they feel in your hand. Are they sturdy? Do the adornments feel well-attached? But beyond that, we always ensure our recommended products are made from non-porous and body-safe materials.
- Material. Every material type offers unique advantages and we always try to include products made from glass, metal, and silicone so there’s something for everyone. You can also rest assured that each of our recommended products is allergen-free, free of parabens, and non-porous to prevent bacteria harboring. [1]
- Size. The size of anal toys can greatly impact the experience of the user. For that reason, we look for products with a wide size range, with brownie points being given to products with multiple size options.
- Comfort. Although size plays an important role in the comfort level of anal products, other factors impact a toy’s ease of use, including the level of taper, the grippyness of the silicone, and the length and width of the stem.
- Aesthetic. Rose butt plugs are desirable for their romantic and sleek appearance. For that reason, plugs that looked cheap were immediately removed from the running.
- Price rating. Since most rose butt plugs are vibration-free, they are considered a budget-friendly style of anal plug. All of our recommended products range from around $15–$60, so you’re guaranteed to find something that fits within your budget.
During testing, we rated each of the toys based on the criteria listed above, starting from 0% (Worst) to 100% (Best). Each score was calculated using different weighted metrics depending on what we deemed most important. Half the total rating comes from Design (25%) and Quality (20%). After that comes Material (15%), Size (10%), Comfort (10%), Aesthtic (10%), and Price rating (10%).
Everything We Tested
In this chapter, you can see a comparison table with all the products we tested. As you can see, each row has the test criteria our team used during the testing. To make our testing process even more transparent, we also included the raw test data so you can see how the products performed with each test criteria.

1. Lovehoney Wild Bloom: Our Test Winner!
Why we love Lovehoney Wild Bloom:
Of the dozen models that we had the pleasure of testing, Wild Bloom is the best rose butt plug. Although very similar in design and feel to the next product in this list, our product testers preferred the Wild Bloom’s slightly larger body size and felt that its deep red was a nice reprieve from the standard black of the other picks.
As always, ordering from Lovehoney was extremely easy. Shipping was completely free since I decided to add in a couple of fun extras, like an extra-thick water-based lubricant (a must-have for all anal adventures). All my goodies arrived in a plain brown box a few days after ordering, so I didn’t have to wait long before diving in.
The first thing we noticed about this silicone plug is that it’s sized absolutely perfectly for beginners—large enough to provide a nice stretch while still being easy to insert and not overbearing or heavy feeling once in. “If you’re new to anal play, silicone anal plugs are going to be your best friend,” one of our product testers, Sandra Larson explains. “Not only is silicone more flexible than glass and metal, but it’s also up to three times lighter; two features that most anal newcomers prefer.”
The insertable length of this plug is made from mostly rigid silicone that is silky smooth and free from rough seems. It had just enough flex to make insertion more comfortable and allowed the length to conform more easily with my body’s natural bends and curves, helping to enhance comfort when changing positions.
Moving onto the base, it’s more than large enough to prevent unwanted travel thanks to the 5 ornate layers of rose petals. The petals are very flexible compared to the base, so you can move them as needed to ensure a thorough post-play cleanup.
Once in, the Wild Bloom is absolutely beautiful and I caught myself going to the mirror more than once to see the petals peeking out from between my cheeks. Personally, I think that the ornateness of this butt plug is perfect for spicy content, though your partner is sure to also appreciate the view.
Minor issues found during testing:
The first thing I will mention is that, if you have a good amount of experience with anal play or consider yourself a size snob, this won’t be the plug for you. It’s incredibly lightweight and relatively small for anyone other than newbies.
Otherwise, the only other potential problem posed by this otherwise perfect plug is that it’s not ideal for extended play. Walking or sitting with this baby in isn’t the most comfortable, and if you’re on the hunt for a plug for public play, you’d be better off trying one of our favorite wearable butt plugs instead.
Why Lovehoney Wild Bloom is the highest-rated rose butt plug:
- Design: Lovehoney’s Wild Bloom is the ideal combination of beautiful and functional. Made with all the features you’d expect from a high-quality plug, including a nicely tapered tip and a teardrop shape for additional stimulation, the Wild Bloom also had the smoothest silicone of all the plugs we tested and boasted the ideal proportions for comfortable use. The red color was another minor feature that was well-appreciated by my colleagues.
- Quality: After years of buying Lovehoney products, I know that I can count on their products to be high-quality and built to last. From tapered tips to flexible flower petals, the Wild Bloom felt solid. It also didn’t hold onto debris or smell and showed zero signs of wear and tear after repeated usage.
Features:
- Material: Red silicone
- Total Length: 4.5”
- Insertable Length: 3”
- Circumference: 4”
- Weight: 95 grams / 3.4 ounces
Pros:
- Tapered tip for easy insertion
- Made from silky-smooth silicone
- Very budget-friendly ($24.99)
- Beautiful red color
- Small enough for beginners
- Flexible petals are easy to clean between
Cons:
- Too bulky for extended wear
- Not large enough for experienced users
2. CalExotics Forbidden Small: Our Budget Pick!
Why we love CalExotics Forbidden Small:
Whether you’re shopping on a budget or looking for the smallest possible model for your virgin tush, it doesn’t get better than the Forbidden Rose in size small. Finding a high-quality silicone plug for under $20 is near impossible (and this baby is only $16.99), and the competition was incomparable in terms of quality. If you’ve spent any time shopping for inexpensive sex toys, you’ve likely seen your fair share of jelly products. While they may look normal and feel delightfully soft and squishy to the touch, jelly is a material that should be avoided at all costs.
“When shopping for budget-friendly butt plugs, most of what you’ll find is made from jelly, a material that is known for having high levels of phthalates and other toxic chemicals,” reports our tester Shane Davis. “For this reason, it’s incredibly important to shop for sex toys made from silicone, a body-safe material, even if it ends up costing a few extra dollars.” [2]
This is only one of the reasons why we loved the Forbidden Rose as our budget-friendly pick. Despite being an extremely budget-friendly $16.99, it is made from high-quality silicone that is non-porous, easily ridding itself of unwanted odors and washing clean of even the most buttery lubricants.
It’s also sold by SheVibe, one of our most beloved sex toy retailers. Regardless of what you purchase, you can count on it to arrive hastily in nondescript packaging that doesn’t rouse the suspicious of nosey neighbors. Though comparable in size to the Wild Bloom, the Forbidden Rose has a slightly smaller body and a thinner and longer stem, important features for anyone who is still hesitant about putting things in their delicate tush.
Thanks to the tapered tip, inserting the Forbidden Rose was extremely comfortable and the silicone is non-grippy enough that I needed hardly any lube, even during longer stints with it in. Like the previous pick, the petals on the Forbidden Rose are flexible, allowing you to maneuver them as needed for a good clean. The flexibility was also appreciated by my cheeks, as no sharp edges were digging into my skin during use.
Minor issues found during testing:
Although the insertable part of this butt plug is very small and comfortable, the flower petal base is on the bulky side. The preferred way to use this plug is bent over since your partner and your butt cheeks have plenty of room to work.
Because sitting and lying down while wearing the Forbidden Rose isn’t the most comfortable, this isn’t the ideal choice for solo play and is best used with someone who can enjoy the view.
Why CalExotics Forbidden Small is our budget pick:
- Size: Whether you’re a total beginner or have years of experience under your belt, the Forbidden Rose has something to offer. Its small size is the most beginner-friendly of all the plugs we tested while the large, which is 1.75 inches across, is large enough to challenge even experienced anal enthusiasts. It is also the only non-vibrating silicone rose butt plug we found with a size-up option.
- Quality: The biggest worry for most people purchasing budget-friendly products is whether or not they’ll feel well-constructed and last the test of time. Despite being the least expensive option, the Forbidden Rose was on par with the rest of the products in this review.
- Price rating: Obviously, one of the most considered factors of a budget-friendly product is the price. At $16.99, the Forbidden Rose was by far the least expensive of the tested products, though it still managed to deliver the expected quality level.
Features:
- Material: Black silicone
- Total Length: 4.25”
- Insertable Length: 3”
- Circumference: 3.9”
Pros:
- Comes with a size-up option
- Extremely budget-friendly ($16.99)
- Made from body-safe silicone
- Rose petals are flexible for easy cleaning
- Smallest size option
Cons:
- Rose can feel bulky between your cheeks
3. Booty Sparks: Our Favorite Metal Plug!
Why we love Booty Sparks:
If you’re anything like me and glass and metal tend to be more your forte, then you’re going to love this pick. This model from Booty Sparks was a favorite among our product testers for its sleek and sexy design. Unlike its competitors, the Booty Sparks is small enough to be worn comfortably during extended play and not so heavy that it overpowers sensation elsewhere.
The Booty Sparks is also one of the most versatile of all the products included in this review. It comes in small, medium, and large sizing, and for the sake of this review, we decided to focus on the intermediate option. With a circumference of 4 inches, the medium is ideal for folks with some anal experience, though total beginners can manage it if they’re wider-set or appreciate a challenge in the bedroom.
The silver aluminum alloy construction is a constant among all options, but you can choose to have either a red or black rose adorning the plug’s flared base. When I think rose, I think red, so I landed on the former. Unlike the previous silicone options, which have their weight distributed equally between the ornate flower petal base and insertable length, most of the Booty Sparks’ heft is located in its insertable length only. This makes it suited to deliver a delightful stretch and some additional weight in between your cheeks that you surely won’t miss.
This additional weight, plus the rigidity of the metal itself, creates a fill that can’t be matched by silicone products and is the exact reason that I tend more toward glass or metal butt plugs. Although some people don’t feel the same way about heavier and more rigid toys, if you love the look of this plug or are curious about the difference in sensation, you might as well go for it. You’ll only lose around $15 should you decide it’s not for you.
All this being said, for a metal butt plug, the Booty Sparks is on the lighter side. While stainless steel plugs of the same size tend to be in the range of 5 to 8 ounces, the Booty Sparks’ aluminum alloy body is only 4 ounces, making it a wonderful intermediary option for folks who don’t have a ton of experience with heavier products. The plug’s stem size in proportion to its flared base is ideal for preventing unwanted travel but was still small enough to not feel bulky during use. The tapered tip also made insertion super easy, though since the plug is metal it starts cool to the touch—adding an extra dose of sensation when you’re getting started.
Shane Davis, one of our product testers reported, “Of the 10 plugs we tested, the Booty Sparks was by far the most effective option for extended play. The rose didn’t interfere with my movement, even when walking, and the additional weight proved a wonderful reminder throughout the day.”
Minor issues found during testing:
Although the Booty Sparks’ aluminum alloy construction is better equipped to deliver a metal butt plug-like fill, if you’re a lover of heavy butt plugs, then this might not be for you. Instead, try one of the best-weighted butt plugs.
Other than that, the only drawback to the Booty Sparks is that the rose adorning the base is quite a bit smaller than the previous two options. While this makes it better for extended use, the rosey qualities of this plug are less obvious
Why Booty Sparks is the best metal rose butt plug:
- Design: Of all the butt plugs we tested, the Booty Sparks’ less prominent rose design made it our favorite for extended use and also provided more space for penetrative play. I also found the teardrop shape and weightier metal construction to be the most filling, which for me is a definite plus.
- Material: For anal toys, I’m a big fan of glass and metal. It is completely non-porous, meaning that it washes cleaner than silicone and is guaranteed not to hold onto smell, helping to extend its shelf-life. On top of that, my colleagues praised the Booty Sparks for its ideal heft compared to stainless steel.
Features:
- Material: Nickel-free aluminum alloy
- Rose colors: Black and red
- Total Length: 3.5”
- Insertable Length: 2.5”
- Circumference: 4”
- Weight: 113 grams / 4 ounces
Pros:
- Has three size options
- Very budget-friendly price ($12.99 – $19.99)
- Can choose between red and black rose
- Material is non-irritating for sensitive skin
- Extra weight adds a sense of presence
- Can be used for temperature play
- Comes in pink and rose gold coloring
Cons:
- Not as heavy as stainless steel plugs
Other Good Alternatives
The Gläs Rosebud is by far our most beautiful pick and a good option for more experienced anal enthusiasts, as it’s a touch larger and heavier than our previous silicone options. Wonderful for extended play, the glass rose’s longer body makes it easier to hold onto and less likely than plugs with a more prominent teardrop shape to pop out with the squeeze of your cheeks—though the thicker stem is hard to relax your anus around. When showing your rose-endowed ass to your partner, they’ll also catch a glimpse of your gaping ass, which is the cherry on top of this gorgeous piece.
XR Brands Booty Sparks is another rose butt plug that’s best left for the pros. At 1.8 inches across at its widest point, it’s the largest product in this review and had enough girth to satisfy our self-professed size queen product testers, which is no easy feat. The XR Brands Booty Sparks combines all the features of our favorite products, boasting silky smooth silicone and a large and ornate rose petal base. It’s also remote-controlled, USB-rechargeable, and is available in 3 size options (though the large was our favorite).
What Is A Rose Butt Plug?
A rose butt plug is a dildo-like sex toy that comes endowed with a much-needed feature for anal play; a flared base. But unlike other popular anal plug styles, which generally have boring circular or T-shaped bases, the flared base comes adorned with a distinctive floral design inspired by rose petals.
But Why Should I Buy One?
Generally, the biggest pull for using any style of anal sex toy is simply that they feel amazing! Anal plugs are great for targeting the many nerve endings in the anus and do a great job of enhancing sensation elsewhere on the genitals too.
Rose butt plugs, in addition to their functional aspects, have the added benefits of being very aesthetically pleasing. The beautiful design mimics the curve and texture of rose petals, adding a touch of romance and sophistication that you (and anyone lucky enough to see your plug) are sure to appreciate.
For those who want a rose toy dedicated to the neighboring regions, which are the clitoris and vagina, make sure to get a rose vibrator. Here are the top rose vibrators your money can buy.
How To Use A Rose Butt Plug?
After ensuring that your rose butt plug is completely clean (more on that below), your next step is to grab the appropriate lube type and find somewhere clean and comfortable where you can unwind.
After applying lube to the entire insertable length of your toy, you can begin to insert it, pointy tip first. Use a gentle rocking motion with your fingers to slowly insert the full length.
Overall, getting the hang of your rose butt plug isn’t difficult. But if you want more information or are looking for tips to help with insertion, check out our full how-to-use a butt plug guide.
How To Clean a Rose Butt Plug?
Cleaning your butt plug before use, even if it’s fresh out of its original packaging, is one of the most important steps to preventing unwanted bacterial infections. [3]
Simply run your butt plug under warm water before giving it a proper scrub with mild soap using your fingers or a gentle brush. Once clean, rinse it and pat it dry with a clean towel before storing it somewhere safe.
Each sex toy material type has unique hygiene protocols. Read our full guide for more information.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What lube to use with rose butt plugs?
The type of lubricant you should use with your rose butt plug will depend on its material. Silicone sex toys are ideally paired with a water-based lubricant or a water-silicone hybrid while a thick silicone-based lubricant is the preferred option for glass or metal.
How to store a rose butt plug?
After thoroughly cleaning your rose butt plug and ensuring it’s completely dry, you can store your toy in a small box or cloth bag, separate from your other toys to prevent the spread of bacteria.
How to make your own rose butt plugs?
DIY sex toys are never a good idea, especially if you’re using them for anal play. Since the anus acts like a vacuum, having a poorly secured base can result in an awkward trip to the emergency room. That being said, if you’re in a bind, this article is full of semi-safe at-home options.
