This is a great piece for those who are starting out with experimentation in BDSM. My wife is not very into pain, but enjoys things like this item for when we are engaging in these types of activities. It is a very affordable piece and has held up really well.

The tickler arrived with no specific packaging, just a piece of paper/cardboard around the handle giving you the product name and such. The handle is made from plastic, or perhaps PVC, I can't tell. The ticklers themselves are made from rubber and swing very freely. I've had other ticklers where the ticklers would stick together, but with this the individual ticklers do not clump together.

The ticklers have a bit of a rubber scent, but it is not anything that is overt. The ticklers can be used for light slapping, hitting, etc. and will not leave a mark. If you choose to use more force this will cause a bit of a sting and can leave red marks on the body, though not for very long. I'm sure if enough force was used this could be somewhat painful and leave longer lasting marks, but we have not explored that type of force. You can use this on any part of the body, chest, breasts, legs, genitals, backs, etc.

Cleaning is very simple with this toy. I would run the ticklers under warm water and then let them air dry. We actually haven't had to clean ours as of yet, but that or using toy wipes/antibacterial wipes would be another way to clean it.

Storage can be tricky if you have a small drawer that you keep toys in. The handle is long, nearly two (2) feet in total, so it probably won't fit in your nightstand drawer or even dresser drawer. But whatever place you to store larger items for play would be fine for this one as well.

I still like this a lot, although the length of the handle can be aggravating. We still have not had any of the ticklers come loose so this is very well made. A nice little addition to our collection.
