Innovative, interesting, and different, the Chain Tickler is certainly a piece that's a pleasure to own and use. It can be used by any person, either new to using ticklers or more experienced, and is well-made. At a low price, you can enjoy the Chain Tickler and its many possibilities; I sure did. You can use the chains for temperature play, simple tickling and teasing, or whipping your partner into shape. The Chain Tickler was one of the best buys that I ever bought, and I do not regret it one bit.

To my surprise, though it does look like it's a longer tickler, this chain tickler is actually quite short (which I personally happen to like better). The handle, made of a hard plastic, measures about 3 1/2", and the full length (without the chains, but with the handle) is about 15" long. This is a perfect size for smaller, shorter people. I wouldn't consider it to be ideal for those who have larger hands or who are taller. For me, with my small size, it was perfect; which means that it wouldn't be so perfect for those who are bigger. There are six strings of chains, all of them around 6" in length.

But the surprises didn't stop there. At eight dollars, I figured that this tickler would have lightweight, cheap-o chains without much heft to them. In reality, the chains are not cheap-feeling at all. They also aren't light at all—they're actually quite heavy, meaning that they can give a number of different sensations when used. I had quite a bit of fun holding them in my hand and bouncing them around before using this tickler on my little girl. Because they are heavy, you will have to be careful with whipping a person with them—you can easily hurt someone's bum when smacking with the chains.

The Chain Tickler is very versatile. Since it has metal chains, as opposed to the normal rubber or leather that you regularly might fine, the chains can be used for temperature play like other metal products—dip them in cold water for a few seconds and drag them along your partner's body, or put them in boiling hot water and smack your partner with them for a wild sensation. When dangled over skin, they feel very soft to the touch, but can be quite painful when smacked or whipped with.

This tickler's low price does not compromise its build. It's lovely, well-made, and works very well. In terms of structure and how the strings of chains are placed inside of the handle, these chains aren't budging or falling out any time soon. I've tugged on them quite a few times, just to make sure, and they didn't move at all, so you can be rest assured that it's safe to smack or tickle a person with them without having them fly all over your bedroom.

I know, as a fact, that this is a lovely and interesting tickler to play with no matter what you're using it for—as a tickler, whip, or whatever else your mind can think up—the Chain Tickler is bound to please, and is easy to use. I definitely, hands-down, recommend the Chain Tickler by Sportsheets to anyone. How can you possibly go wrong with such a low price? You can't, and the Chain Tickler is worth its price and more. Considering how many times I've used this, it's assured that it's definitely worth it.

Note: To clean the Chain Tickler, simply wipe it down with some water or dip the chains into boiling water.

Well, this certainly is a follow-up! After a year of having the Chain Tickler, I still absolutely love it. There's nothing bad to say about it at all—versatile, fun, different—it's so cheaply-priced that it's something that you cannot go wrong with buying. It's held up well over the past year, and it's still very strong.

Eight dollars for an entire year of play? Sounds pretty good to me.
