I love working directly with manufacturers. Not only does it mean I get to work alongside the people who actually make the product, but it can also mean I get access to brand new products that might have not even hit the stores yet. So, recently when I saw Rocks Off put out a call for reviewers for their newest toy range, I was super eager to be a part of it. I was then lucky enough to get chosen, and sent a list of items to choose from. This was a tough decision, but ultimately my love for clitoral toys won out, and I requested the Rocks Off Unihorn and Purple Heart, two fantastic looking clitoral vibrators. Today I am just reviewing the Unihorn, but look out for my Purple Heart review in the coming weeks.
Product Description
The Rocks Off Unihorn Stardust is by far the most gorgeous clit vibe I have ever owned, and easily one of my most beautiful sex toys in general. It’s only a simple design, but the gradient of colours used on it make it look absolutely magical. Aside from its appearance it is a relatively simple clit vibe, without any special features or functions. It is made from hard reflective plastic, which feels really nice to the touch, and is shaped to represent a unicorn’s horn. At its larger end is a single button for controlling its 10 settings, and two finger-sized dents which I assume is for ease of holding. A seam separates the horn and larger end, and this is the battery compartment. This can be easily opened by twisting the toy, and it uses one AAA battery (which is included). The button itself is very pronounced and features the Rocks Off logo, and I really like this in particular as it feels good to press down. Finally, the toy is waterproof and comes with a 12 month guarantee.
The Brand
Rocks Off are a UK based company who create all sorts of amazing, body-safe toys. They mostly sell electronic toys such as vibrators, and even toys that would usually not be electronic always seem to have a bullet vibe snuck into them. I have actually reviewed a product from Rocks Off before back in 2015 for Cara Sutra’s Pleasure Panel. It was the Butt Quiver, a large silicone butt plug that also came with their best-selling RO-80mm bullet vibe. Despite its “5 million sold” fame, I wasn’t super impressed by that bullet, and found it quite weak and buzzy. So when agreeing to these items I was quite excited to learn just how much Rocks Off had improved since my last review.
Packaging
My order with Rocks Off was placed on the 22nd of November, and I received the package on the 27th of November, which is the fastest I have ever received anything from the UK or overseas. In fact, that’s quicker than most domestic post I get! Unfortunately, the package was not discreet at all, with the sender being listed as Rocks Off and the product as ‘Electrical Vibratory Massage Appliance’. Even though Rocks Off are a manufacturer, they also sell their products online and have a 100% discreet shipping policy, so I was surprised to see this. Perhaps they send review items differently than they do for actual customers. Either way this is something to be cautious about if discreet delivery is important to you.
The packaging for the Rocks Off Unihorn was very similar to my previous Rocks Off item. It comes with a white sleeve with just the name of the toy on it to keep things discreet, which I love, and then under this is the actual packaging. This is a very luxurious box, with a stunning lace-like pattern on it that has been printed with a varnish so it shines in light. The product can then be viewed through the clear plastic on the front, and on the back is all sorts of information about the toy. Inside the box is the toy itself, a small booklet on instructions and the warranty, and a piece of card that contains further instructions. The booklet and card are actually hidden in the back of the box, so make sure to look for them when receiving any Rocks Off products and not just throw away the box (I almost missed them completely)! The box itself is a good size, and could be easily used for storage purposes if you wished.
Controls
Since the Rocks Off Unihorn only features one button, using it is rather easy and intuitive. I particularly like the button itself, as I have found with similar low-price vibrators that the buttons can often feel unpleasant to press or don’t properly ‘click’, making it hard to know whether you have successfully pressed it or not. But this button is big, squishy, and has a loud and satisfying ‘click’ when you press it down. The toy has 10 settings, 3 of which are steady speeds, and 7 of which are patterns. To use the toy just press the button once, which will always start it on the first steady speed, and then pressing the button again will let you cycle through the 10 speeds before going back to the first. To turn off the toy just hold down the button for a few seconds. I love everything about how this toy works, and it is ideal for me. 3 steady speeds is a good amount, and while I don’t use patterns at least 7 isn’t too crazy of a number. I also love that it always starts on the steady speeds, as it means if I am edging and want to reduce the speed all I have to do is turn it off and on again, rather than having to click through all of the speeds just to get back to it (like the We-Vibe Tango). I found I didn’t even need to read the instructions to use this toy, as it was just simple to understand and very user friendly.
First Impressions
As soon as I turned the Rocks Off Unihorn on it was clear that this was more of the buzzy than rumbly variety of vibrator. Some people prefer buzzy vibes, but sadly I am not one of them, so I was a little disappointed to find this toy in that category. The vibrations also aren’t very strong, although because the toy is made with hard ABS plastic they do feel quite powerful, so I wasn’t too bothered by this. Additionally, I find the Unihorn a little more high pitched in noise than some of my other bullet vibes like the We-Vibe Tango and Nu Sensuelle Point, but not so much that this was annoying or a worry when it came to privacy.
My Experience
Since the Rocks Off Unihorn is on the buzzy side, I was fairly worried about how my rumble-loving clit would find it. Unfortunately I found my worrying to be justified, as I have a hard time enjoying this vibe. The vibrations feel like they just reach the surface of my clit, and don’t penetrate deep enough to stimulate myself properly. I do receive some pleasure from it though, and can orgasm from using it, but it just takes far longer than it would normally take me to climax from using a vibrator, and the orgasms are far weaker. I find it works best during PIV sex or when I am also using other toys, as this way it combines with the additional stimulation I am receiving to feel far more powerful.
Cleaning & Care
Cleaning this toy couldn’t be easier since it is waterproof and made with body-safe ABS plastic. Just wash it in some warm soapy water and then rinse. You can then leave it to air dry or towel dry it, and return it to storage. To increase the life of its battery it is also recommended to remove this prior to storage.
Final Thoughts
Everything about the Rocks Off Unihorn was perfect for me, except its vibrations. But it’s important to point out that while I dislike buzzy vibrations, some people enjoy them, so while this toy was not for me I’m sure there any many people who are going to adore it. If you know you like buzzy vibrations then I would definitely recommend this toy to you, and if you are new to vibrators and not sure about your preferences then I would still recommend this as you’ll likely be more sensitive to the vibrations than I am. Plus, it looks gorgeous, is easy to clean, is waterproof, is intuitive to use, and is quite cheap! The only real downside to it is that it’s battery operated, but since the battery is included when you buy it even I wasn’t too bothered by this. If you do want something more rumbly then I would recommend checking out my We-Vibe Tango and Nu Sensuelle Point reviews, but these sorts of toys do cost more money. Despite what my clitoris thinks, this toy has been a pleasure to review and is certainly one of the most attractive sex toys I have ever owned.
Sadly, the Rocks Off Unihorn has now been discontinued.

I love the design of this vibe, but it's let down by being battery operated and having weak / buzzy vibrations.
I received this product in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. Affiliate links have been used in this post.
So shiny. Too bad battery-power is the way it is- a rechargeable version would be fantastic.
Can you recommend a product with similar vibration levels to this? My wife’s has died and as it’s discontinued I can’t replace it 😢
I’d suggest checking out the We-Vibe Tango X, which uses a hard plastic body the same as the Unihorn, so will have a similar sensation.
