Love To Love Open Roses Anal Plug – Large Black Onyx

The Love To Love Open Roses Large is a silicone anal plug with a base moulded like an open rose, so the part that stays outside looks like a bloom instead of a plain disc. It's the biggest of the three Open Roses sizes, made for people who already enjoy plugs and want a fuller stretch, and the Black Onyx finish gives the flower a dark, polished look.

Choosing the Large size

Open Roses comes in three sizes, S, M and L, and this is the biggest of the trio. The listing for this plug gives an insertable length of 9 cm (3.54 inches) and an insertable diameter of 3.7 cm (1.45 inches). That width is a noticeable step up from a starter plug, so the Large makes the most sense once you already know what feels comfortable. If you've only used fingers or very slim toys so far, start with the S or M and come back to this one later. If you already own a plug around 1.25 inches wide and want more fullness, the Large is the natural next move.

A tapered shape that opens up gradually

Love To Love shaped the body for progressive insertion: it starts narrow at the tip and widens smoothly towards the thickest point, so your body stretches a little at a time rather than meeting a sudden ridge. The gradual taper is what makes a wider plug manageable, because the stretch builds slowly while you breathe and relax. The silicone is soft and flexible, so it has some give as you move and doesn't feel like a hard object sitting inside.

The rose handle on this anal plug

The base is the detail that gives the toy its name. Instead of a flat disc, it's moulded into the shape of an open flower. It does the same safety job as any flared base, stopping the plug from travelling inside, and the petals give your fingers something easy to grip when it's time to take it out. From behind, it looks decorative rather than purely practical, which partners often enjoy as part of the play. The flower does add a little bulk between the cheeks, so try sitting with it in before planning a long wear.

Putting it in and wearing it

Warm up with fingers or a smaller toy, then coat the plug and yourself in plenty of lube. Press the tip in gently, breathe out and let the widest section pass slowly until the plug settles and the rose sits flat against you. Wear it during foreplay, solo play or penetrative sex for a fuller feeling. For removal, relax, breathe out and draw it out slowly by the handle rather than in one pull.

Lube, cleaning and storage

Choose a water-based anal lube, since silicone lube can wear down a silicone plug over time. The plug is waterproof, so you can wash it thoroughly under the tap or use it in the shower. Clean it with warm water and mild soap or toy cleaner after each use, dry it fully and keep it in its own pouch so the black finish stays free of lint and dust.
