Clitoral Toys to Bloom Your Pleasure: Rose Sex Toy & Sona 2 Cruise Sex Toy | Review

In the last few weeks I am more into clitoral stimulation. And I’m not talking about oral sex – I’m referring to the kind of stimulation I can give myself. And what is better for a solo play than a clitoral vibrator? Nothing if you ask me. 

So today I am going to spice up things with a story about two of my clitoral vibrators, or to be more precise two of my favorite sucking sex toys – Rose sex toy and LELO Sona 2 Cruise with all their variations, features, colors…  Let’s start with a beautiful magic flower – Rose. 

Meet Rose Sex Toy

When I first saw the Rose, I have to admit – I wasn’t impressed. I’m not really into flowers, and this sex toy is quite literally shaped like a red rose. But once I shifted my mindset and realized that the Rose is like giving my vagina its own special bouquet of love, everything changed. I began to celebrate every moment of self-pleasure and self-awareness, embracing each petal as part of that intimate ritual. Roses can be found in many variations, but each one of them looks the same, and there are no specific differences that can diversify one from another. 

What Does the Rose Sex Toy Do?

I own the Rose Vibrator with 5 different sucking and vibrating modes, a top notch product in the realm of rose themed toys. Little red rose is specific because it has sucking and vibrating features doing their job together – above and under the water. Yes, it is waterproof, and yes I tried it on the ‘surface’ and in my bath.  While trying my Rose, which needs up to 1.5 hours for charging, and just 10 seconds for the orgasm, I enjoyed sooo much. The toy can work long but not as much as Sona. But while I was playing with her, the power of the toy didn’t decrease. So the red warrior got my first star for a long lasting toy. 

Both toys can be used on nipples, neck, clitoris, anus and for vaginal stimulation – even though when it comes to vagina I prefer Sona because of its longer and more anatomical shape. It just fits better. Rose is very gentle and soft with a body safe silicone, but still it is not that soft as Sona which is my synonym for silky.  The motor of Rose’s sucking toy was improved to make it more powerful and stronger, and she is truly as quiet as a petal in the wind. It would be even better if the toy can be controlled remotely, but the model I have is still not there. 

How to use a rose sex toy?

Simply place the Rose sex stimulator on your clitoris and turn it on. The mouth of the Rose suction toy is wide, making it a great fit for different body types. The on/off button also serves as a frequency changer, letting you effortlessly cycle through various pleasure patterns—just one click away from delicious vibrations. As it gently sucks and massages your clitoris, the Rose heightens every sensation, turning touch into pure delight. Honestly, I trembled the first time I placed it between my legs. The Rose delivered pleasure – and oh yes, she truly did. Rose can be used in solo play, and with a partner. 

How to Wash a Rose Sex Toy?

Rose sex toys can be easily cleaned, you can just rinse her with water. But please be very careful when you clean it and use sex toy cleaners. Your body and your health are the most important assets.

Let’s Talk About Sona, Baby! 

When it comes to Sona, things can get a little confusing – because ‘Sona’ isn’t just one product. There’s Sona, Sona 2, Sona Cruise, Sona 2 Cruise, and Sona Travel. Yes, LELO created five different versions of this bestselling toy. It all began with the original LELO Sona – the very first suction-based sex toy in their catalog. All Sonas are a bit different, maybe not by their size (except from the small travel), but for their force, vibrations, possibilities and of course – the price. 

What all Sona clitoral stimulators have in common is their luxurious feel and look. And they all stimulate the entire clitoris, not just one part. Crafted from silky-soft silicone, with an ergonomic shape, elegant colors, and a golden accent on the back, each Sona looks like a piece of jewelry in the world of pleasure products.

Compared to the Rose, Sona feels like it was designed not for girls, but for dignified women – those who know what they want and choose to treat themselves to something truly special and valuable. Because they deserve it.

And although I climaxed with both, when it comes to Rose vs. Sona, I have to say it: Rose is a toy. Sona 2 Cruise is THE TOY!

What is that special about the LELO Sona clitoral vibrator(s)? 

I own the Sona 2 Cruise, a sonic clitoral vibrator designed to deliver intense, multiple orgasms. It features 12 vibration settings that gradually increase in intensity, and it’s powered by LELO’s patented Cruise Control™ technology – which holds back extra power for the perfect moment of climax.

So what does that actually mean?

Every time I pressed the toy more firmly against my body, it somehow knew what I needed and responded with stronger suction – like it could read my mind. Some might see that as a drawback, but to me, it feels like having total control, just like during real, passionate sex. Think of it this way: when you pull your partner closer, they respond with more intensity. If you want softness, you let go – and they follow your lead.

It’s the same with the Sona 2 Cruise: If you want gentle fluttering over your clitoris, simply loosen your grip. But if you’re craving deep, powerful suction, press it closer – and it knows exactly what to do. Oh, and a quick tip: Always use a water-based lube with Sona for the best experience and most mind-blowing orgasms. Trust me – you’ll thank me later.

How to use Lelo Sona? 

The Sona clitoral sucker is perfectly shaped to fit in your hand. Its gentle curve through the center allows it to rest comfortably in your palm. With a single button in the middle to turn it on and switch between vibration patterns, plus + and – buttons to control intensity, it’s incredibly intuitive – easy to manage with just your thumb.

The suction mouth is slightly smaller than the Rose’s, but the pulsations? So much more intriguing.

Sona delivers a variety of sensations – wave-like pulses, gentle rhythms, tiny drum-like taps, and steady vibrations. A whole spectrum of pleasure, all with one purpose: to give you more satisfaction than you ever imagined. I applied plenty of lube, positioned Sona over my clitoris, and started with a soft pulse. Then I explored every setting she had. Some of the faster pulses were too intense for me- I personally prefer a slow, gentle touch – but I know many will absolutely love the power. In the end, I found one perfect setting that hit just the right spot.

The best part? You have options. With so many sensations to explore, you’re almost guaranteed to find the one that truly fits your body. The downside? She’s a little louder than Rose. But honestly, I’m not masturbating in a room full of people – so I don’t mind. As long as she’s loud, I’m happy to be loud too.

Sona works even when not fully charged, and a full charge gives you up to 2 hours of use. She’s also 100% waterproof, so feel free to take her into the bath. Even better, she can sit on standby for up to 90 days without needing a recharge.

After reading a study about plastic and its toxic impact on the body, I couldn’t stop thinking about all the cheap, unregulated toys people buy online – products that often end up inside the most intimate parts of our bodies.

But with Sona 2 Cruise, you don’t need to worry. It’s made from premium-quality, body-safe silicone and adheres to the highest safety standards. In fact, it’s ISO 3533 certified, which means it’s built with your well-being in mind – inside and out.

How to clean Lelo Sona? 

Simple, with a warm (not hot!) water and a bit of soap, or use sex toy cleaner. It is much easier to clean Sona  than Rose, as if it’s made from only one piece of silicone.

Conclusion: Who Won the Game?

Rose is a cheaper toy, and that becomes obvious when compared to the Sona, which looks and performs like a Rolex in the world of sex toys. The Sona 2 Cruise offers far more vibration patterns and intensity levels. It’s visually more elegant and feels better in the hand, thanks to its ultra-soft silicone. It meets the strictest safety standards and is made from a single piece of silicone, which also means fewer creases – making it easier to clean.

Rose features magnetic charging and is a cute choice for fans of floral designs. However, it’s harder to hold, since – unlike LELO vibrators – it lacks an ergonomic shape. While it is more budget-friendly, that’s exactly why Sona stands out as a toy that’s not for everyone – but also not too expensive for those who want more. Both toys can bring you to climax, but Sona is designed for deep, full-bodied, intense multiple orgasms. Sona is my winner—but you’ll have to decide for yourself.
