Made from suede. which is a very soft material for flogging, the Mini Suede Flogger was designed for thuddy and massage-type sensations. It does not produce any painful stinging sensations which makes it a great choice for those who dislike pain - or as a first flogger for a new couple beginning to experiment. As the flogger doesn't provide intense pain or sensations, this makes it best suited for lighter play and teasing. The gentle, suede tails of the flogger lend themselves especially well to a tickling sensation as they're dragged along bare skin.

Unlike a "dungeon" flogger which is pretty long and designed for use when standing noticeably far away from your partner, this flogger is shorter in length which makes for an intimate, touching-your-partner type of use. This also makes it particularly great for those who have storage concerns or live in small bedrooms. The smaller design makes it easier to handle in little spaces.

The small design of the flogger makes it ideal as a flogger for use during travel.

Before you do ANYTHING else, you should take this flogger to your trashcan, and you should shake it. Then run some papertowels or towels over the strands. Suede is a shedding material, and when you first receive your flogger, it's going to shed small suede particles all over. It can shed for days if you don't try to remove all of the excess from the beginning. If you don't mind clearly-black little particles in the air when playing or clearly visible on skin or surfaces, don't worry about it. The shedding suede won't harm you or hurt the flogger, but it can be annoying for some people to look at.

Once you've cleaned off the suede and are ready to look over your new flogger, you'll be impressed. For being so affordable, the Mini Suede Flogger was built with durability in mind. The handle is made from a nice, braided leather-like material that offers a good amount of grip while looking kinky. The base of the handle offers a braided loop that can wrap around the wrist or be used to hang the flogger. The tails themselves are made of a gentle, very-softened suede that feels almost buttery smooth. These tails are attached firmly to the handle.

The flogger is relatively light-weight. If you have any wrist or joint issues, this flogger shouldn't be an issue to handle.

If you enjoy a slight scent of suede, you'll like this flogger when it first comes out of the packaging. While it loses the scent relatively quickly, it initially has a leather-like scent to it upon taking it out of the packaging.

If you're looking for a flogger that causes pain or a stingy sensation, this is not a good choice. However, if you'd like a flogger that offers a softer, thuddy sensation that can be compared to a deep-tissue massage, this is a good choice. As this type of flogger isn't particularly dangerous, it can be a great start for a beginner - it's hard to cause any issues even if you're too lazy to actually practice or learn how to use the flogger before you use it on a human.

Don't expect to draw blood or cause bruising with this flogger - even if you try really hard.

All of the suede tails fall together quite nicely. Expect the tails to swing together as a group as long as you're handling the flogger properly. This makes it very easy to strike at exactly the expected spot without leaving any straggling tails to cause errant sensation.

When it comes to holding the handle, most adult-sized hands should fit on the handle just fine. If you have above-average-sized male hands, you may find that the handle feels too short. While the handle will be great for most average-sized and feminine hands, the entire flogger was designed to be small and compact which required some sacrifice to length on the handle. As you would expect, the flogger is not weighted, but it still does feel quite comfortable in the hands.

Be aware that you need to be close to your partner for this flogger to work. While the flogger tails are a bit too plentiful to easily use this for genital bondage, this flogger can still be used quite well for the butt, thighs, or upper chest. It would work especially well for breast flogging as the shorter tails will stay out of the face better while the massaging sensation is less likely to cause bleeding or other tissue concerns. You'll easily be within touching distance of your partner when using the Mini Suede Flogger.

As mentioned above, make sure to shake out or clean your flogger's tails over the garbage can when you first receive it. Suede material is known for shedding.

For long-term storage, make sure you store the flogger flat. The tails will crumble and begin to hold that shape if bunched up for long-term storage. It should either be hung from the wrist strap to ensure long, flat tails or placed on a flat surface.

Make sure to consider this flogger fluid-bonded if it makes any contact with bodily fluids or blood. Suede is impossible to fully sterilize quickly after any exposure to bodily fluids.

The Mini Suede flogger comes in a clear, plastic bag with no excess packaging. The plastic bag will need to be torn open in order to get to the flogger. There are no other tags or instructions included with the flogger.
