Thumb-sized probe swirling round ur asshole! The Bums N Roses’ black digit rotates, and I gotta turn up its rumbly vibration to full speed before long, too.
It’s a fun idea: a silicone bulb with a tongue/probe emerging. Usually, “rimming” sex toys are butt plugs whose “neck” includes rotating beads; a subtle spinning. This rimmer-rose vibrator instead employs a shorter probe — it moves in circles and undulates more dramatically.
How does the feeling compare? Let’s pit Rimming Rose vs. Rimming Plug, with pros & cons, and power rating:

Skins Rimming Rose vs. b-Vibe Rimming Plug
Do you like your anus teased & stimulated, or you like it deeper? The Bums N Roses by Skins / Creative Conceptions will stimulate your anal opening: the anus (asshole) + the anal canal (the entryway into the rectum).
Its 1″ probe swirls more noticeably than the rotating-bead rows in rimming plugs, so you can feel it pressing in more as it spins ’round, quickly. It covers about half an inch, gyrating back and forth, all the space in the V-shape seen below:
The Bums N Roses’ vibration is very rumbly on the first & second functions, but doesn’t carry up inside the rectum like rimming plugs. It’s not fullness inside, like the b-Vibe Rimming Plug (4.8″ insertable for the medium size, or 3.9″ insertable for the Petite) or the similar-but-less-overpriced Maia Devin, 5.6″ insertable length—which is the most wearable toy: better base design vs. b-Vibe Rimming toys.
Vs. rimming plugs, my anal canal feels more worked by the Bums N Roses’ probe. It gives lots of anus-focused feeling that’s even made me remember, hours later, my previous session with the Bums N Roses.
My Experience
“Rim a Ring a Rose…” the Bums N Roses box cheekily states. Its motion seeks to imitate rimming, the act of licking at and right around inside the asshole, a circular tonguing motion. You can also employ a thumb while rimming someone: so it’s intriguing that the Bums N Roses is like a hybrid of thumb and tongue motion. Except, in smooth, firm silicone:
Giving its probe a solid feel that does remind me more of a wide thumb👍 than a fleshy, textured tongue.
One that rotates fast: from 125 to 230 gyrations per minute, low to high speeds. That’s over two 360-degree spins per second on function #1, and nearly three spins per second on function #3 (the fastest steady speed).
The first time I tried it: Oh wow, that slid right in, I thought, realizing the “Bums”‘s probe was already past my asshole in under 10 seconds. Usually, anal insertion takes warmup: I’ve got a tight ass, 😝, so I was pleased this went in so quickly.
I cannot orgasm just from anal rimming; I need clitoral stimulation. So, after a couple minutes feeling the Bums ring around my rosebud, I pulled out a clit toy from the same maker: the Unihorn Bean Blossom. It’s a clitoral air-pulse vibrator with flicking tongue too, and it rocks. (My favorite under-$40 sex toy ever.) Apparently I was seeking sensation overload that day:
Because the Bums Rose “spinning-thumb” made me extra sensitive already, then I added the Unihorn’s air pulse vibrating tongue-ing. Now with both toys rolling, I was like, “OMG I can’t even use the lowest steady speed, better start with a Unihorn pattern.” (That way, the on-off-on-off nature of a rhythmic function could give short breaks to my very-stimulated clit.)
It was still a lot, but in a good way after I got used to the clitoral pulsing. I relubed the Bums N Roses probe after a couple minutes, more hybrid lube, because fast motion. I sat back and chilled with all the sensory input; it’s MORE than just playing with a clitoral toy. After about 10 minutes like this, I’ll feel like it’s enough, and turn off the rimming-tongue-thumb—so that I can get off clitorally. (And it’s a great, strong release.) Overall, I’m not disappointed that the Bums N Roses isn’t making me cum multiply, because I don’t have the right nerve ending distribution to orgasm from rimming, but it absolutely heightens feeling.
I’ve mainly talked about the fast-spinning probe, but the Bums N Roses’ vibrations have a good kick. They run from rumbly (function #1) to medium-high-pitched (function #3). They’re great as long as you’re not looking for max power. I like the Skins Bums N Roses’ vibes, but they are medium-powered. This plug’s rotation is its more outstanding function vs. other sex toys.
The bud-shape is easy enough to hold. I’ve used while lying in bed, my back propped up by a couple pillows. I also have put more weight on top of it, not holding it, and the tongue didn’t slow down. So, I would say you could sit on it, while leaning back, though that’s maybe not the most comfortable position to maintain.
Last, I was happy that the black silicone doesn’t look so spotty after it’s cleaned as most black silicone vibrators I wash do. (Hard water, perhaps.) It’s less streaky; still looks almost like new.

- Body-safe silicone.
- Cleans easily.
- Vibration starts rumbly.

- May be felt as more teasing than orgasmic.
Bums n Roses Functions & Power
This rimming rose has two motors, each with 10 functions (3 steady speeds + 7 patterns). They’re controlled via separate buttons:
The power button also lets you flip through the 10 vibration functions, while the 🔄 (circling arrows) button of course controls the 10 rotating functions. Press down on it for about 3 seconds after the power is on, to start the rotation too.
The vibration is medium strong; I’d give it a 5.25/10 for max. power (on a scale where the OOOMPH of a big Magic Wand is 10). Skins Bums N Roses’ vibration starts very rumbly, then has an edge of higher-pitched buzz on high speed—which I enjoy anally (my clit & vag are both pickier about buzzy vibration).
Care & Cleaning
Bums N Roses’s black silicone rinses easily. Wipe down the Bums N Roses probe with a wet paper towel or a cleaning wipe, or proceed straight to washing it with soap and water in the sink. Run your hands over the whole toy, covered in soap, for 30 seconds to a minute. Happily, I’ve seen zero lube remaining trapped in this rose toy’s petals, unlike my experience with suction Rose Vibes gettin’ gunked up.
It’s magnetic rechargeable, and can sit upright while charging (that feels cleaner to me). It takes a couple hours to charge; you’ll know it’s done charging when the buttons stop blinking. It runs for just over 1 hour 20 minutes before it weakens and stops running at 1 hour 25 minutes.
Recap & Rating
Bums N Roses does rimming differently, and I love that. There are other tongue-kinda toys, but this one’s fast spinning actually withstands the pressure that a tight asshole can exert. It didn’t even stall out once while I’ve tested it; that’s amazing to me.
I like how the vibration starts out rumbly, then increases to have more *zing* on high. The bud shape isn’t the easiest to sit on (wouldn’t recommend), but you don’t have to grip it tightly to keep it positioned when lying back. I prefer using it as a stimulation-builder, then moving on to a harder genital orgasm. Would recommend for anyone who’s into anal ringing and sphincter vibration: the Bums N Roses is cutely and smartly designed.
