Interested in a little something different but not ready to venture into anything too "scary" or intense? Want to try out some sensation play in the bedroom, but you're intimidated by the prospect of hardcore leather whips and wooden paddles? Want something that can caress your backside in a sensual and not painful way? Then this is it! This is fun for the beginner into BDSM. This is fun for the vanilla couple wanting sensuality. This is fun for the advanced kinkster looking for a lighter toy, perhaps for their newbie or looking for tickle play.

The Japanese Silk Love Rope Plaited Flogger is 2 feet (24 inches) of playful fun. It is a simple basic design of a ten semi-braided tails (or falls as some call them) of red fiber. Although it says Japanese Silk in the name, it is not like any of my other silk items; I believe it is a man made synthetic, but that does not take away anything from the quality or strength. Each of the ten tails are made of twelve braided strands, all fastened together with same red colored cord which forms the comfortable handle of this flogger. There is a unique 360 degree pivot clip at the end of the handle which allows for a free flowing unrestricted movement. It is attached to a metal O-ring for hanging.

Hold the handle and flick your wrist to provide one swat to your play partner’s body. No worries about actually causing real pain, the ends of each tail are frayed to create softness. As you use this more, the ends are designed to continue to slowly fray further, thus creating the ability for the flogger to caress the target better and better. Allowing the flogger to spin on its pivot clip, and using a figure eight pattern, you can almost flail continuously at your target. Draping this across your partner’s body and slowly pulling it is almost ticklish. This is quite fun on the giving or receiving end and as stated. The only time I felt anything that was close to stingy sensations was when the still braided upper parts of the tails struck very tender flesh, such as breasts. Even then, it was not unpleasant or painful. Truthfully, this flogger feels like far more of a reward than any sort of punishment play. It is sensual, not painful.

I was happily surprised to find that this is really well made and stood up great under an awful lot of play. The metal parts are heavy duty, sturdy and unlikely to easily break. The tails can become entangled with hard play but seem to easily shake out or untangle when I combed my fingers through them. Hanging it is best for storage so that the tails do not tangle. Besides, you will not want to pack this away. You will want to keep it close to use often.

Got a little love-juice on your Silk Flogger? I rinsed mine under cool running water and allowed to drip dry in the shower. After it dried, I combed the tails with my fingers and was ready to go again.

I can say that, overall, I like this thing. It will become one of our regular things to grab when we want some sensation play.

Although this is not for any sort of intense play, we are still happily using using and enjoying this soft flogger for sensation play. It got softer with more use. Very teasing against bare skin.
