I bought this Rubber Tickler by Sportsheets to replace my favorite rubber flogger, which I had lost. And while this is a fantastic tickler, it did not meet the expectations set by my old flogger. I was sadly disappointed.

Let's start with the handle. Made from a thin, semi-flexible plastic, the handle is 23 inches long with a slightly wider hand-grip at one end. The other end has a bell-shaped bowl that holds the rubber falls. The handle will get some snap to it if swung hard enough so watch out; it will bite!

My Sir actually found out that he liked using the handle on me more so than the rubber, which didn't create too much of an impact. The handle, when used as a switch, can have a heavy sting, stripping your ass with bring red lines. And if you are looking for something even more, it can leave a nice long welt, even when it's not trying to.

The rubber falls are great as a tickler; they glide across your skin and don't catch on arm or leg hair. They are just over 7 inches long, allowing different sensations by changing the amount of rubber that drags across the skin.

My biggest complaint is not in its use as a tickler, but that of a flogger, which was what my intent for this toy was. While this tickler can offer a bit of sting, the handle is too long to manage effectively for any length of time. Add to that the small size of the rubber falls, and sometimes the plastic bell will hit down on the skin when you don't want it to.

All in all, if you are looking for light play, this is a good place to start. If you are looking for a heavy impact toy, look for something with a little better design.
