I understand in a BDSM usage there is some fun to the stinging sensation of a flogger. My personal experience with one of these was that my sub at the time was into being spanked to the point where she had a rose red stinging behind, so we picked one of these up from our local sex shop. I found that the handle was nice and the rubber parts of the whip made a nice swooshing sound and a nice snap when hitting my subs rear end. My sub was curious of other uses for this toy. Mainly, she wanted to feel the handle insider her, I don't recommend this unless you have a condom to cover it, as the animal print cover on the handle with become a mess. The fact that the handle has bulbs at the ends, though, does make it nice to rub her with, especially if she's in the mood. We played out a nice fantasy for her as she admitted that even the next day, when she was in classes, her rear end still stung. I have not seen this one leave any type of mark where it rips skin so it's nice for beginners.

The handle is hard PVC plastic, and the rubber whip strands are combined nicely. The animal print handle cover is nice but a bit slippery when you're trying to get a good whack. There is a wrist strap so it doesn't go flying, and as I stated above, the bulbous ends of the handle can be quite stimulating to "her area". It's simplistically strong, and I haven't broken one yet. My sub recommends it to her friends so thus I can say it's positively awesome.

This met the expectations of my sub for the stinging sensation she so requires to get off. From my own personal side of it the whooshing sound and the aftermath of it alone is sweet. I always sting myself before a sub just so I know how hard I may have to swing my hand to get the sensation desired. This is simplistic and a quick way to get an effect without a lot of arm work. The rubber actually makes a nice spread out smack that is not only pleasurable to the sub but the master as well.

Easy to care for, as it's not easily put in the way of fluids unless you decide to tease with the handle, and in that case I recommend a non pre-lubed condom as it affects the animal print and makes it feel not so nice to swing.

BDSM isn't for beginners, but if your looking for a little kinky foreplay I would recommend this as it's not really something that will tear skin unless you put a lot of excess force to it.
