After my experience with this the other night, I believe this can be used by both beginners and more experienced players, depending on how hard it is swung. My wife used it on me, and she started with light flicks on my ass and back. Nice and soft. But then without warning, she gave a few really hard whacks on my ass, and while I didn't cry out in pain, it was definitely noticeable, and stingy. Floggers are great for hitting the fleshy part of the body, and for generating pain over a wide area. And part of the enjoyment is also for the person who is swinging the flogger.

The handle is about 1 inch in diameter, and is 6 inches long. The handle is a checker black and pink leather. At the end of the handles are 2 black leather stoppers to prevent your hand from slipping. These are 1 3/4 inch in diameter, and 1 3/8 of an inch tall. At the end of the handle is a loop of leather which stretches to 4 1/2 inches. We hang the flogger from a door handle by this loop. The falls measure 20 inches long, with the leather/suede being 1/4 inch wide, and the fur is 1/2 inch wide.

Using this is quite easy, both for my wife and myself. It has a nice handle that is 6 inches long, and it fits great even in my rather large hands. The falls, being made of both leather and a plushy faux fur, allows the receiver to feel the pain of both materials, and the giver the pleasure of hearing the leather hitting the receivers body. So far we haven't found any others uses for the flogger, but it does look quite nice hanging from the door into our room of fun. And even with some good powerful swings, the flogger provides more thud than intense painful sting.

In our use, since it will only be used between my wife and myself, we shouldn't need to do any cleaning to this. And since it is made out of leather and faux fur, it should only be shared with the fluid bonded. The leather is pretty soft and flexible, and it should be left out of direct sunlight so the leather doesn't dry out. For storage, we have left it hanging from a shelf in our closet, and also for a door knob. Both have worked wonderfully, or a hook on a wall could work as well.

The packaging this came in was very simple. I placed a large order for 12 different things, and this was one of the many in that large box. The handle was exposed with a small tag on it, and then the falls were covered by a small plastic bag that went the full length of the falls. Perfect packaging to me, and the bag is already in recycling. The small tag, about 2" square, has a color photo of the flogger on the front being held by a woman in lingerie, shown in black and white. On the back is a little more info, saying to "Tease-HER, tempt-HER, stroke-HER, sooth-HER, & seduce-HER with the silken sensations of black suede, bold faux fur, & luscious leather. Intricate check-HER board handles that are sleek, sexy & naughty just like HER." It also says that it is a novelty, and made in India.

My wife and I pretty vanilla when it comes to bondage, but we do have a few items. This is partially because we are still both exploring our sexuality together, and just having found Eden within the past year, we have started even quicker to explore and try new toys. We got a fluffy heart paddle years ago, and we have enjoyed that one a lot. I also purchased a crop set from here, but it doesn't get that much use. I have been interested in floggers for a while, but I didn't know how my wife would take it. I have had this in my "order next" wish list for a while, and finally on my last order I got a bunch of cheaper items, and this was one of them. When I pulled it out of my box from Eden, my wife liked the way it looked, and was honestly interested. Great! A few days later I pulled it out for the first time, and I used it on her first. I had her roll onto her side, and started with some very light whacks to her ass and back. When she liked how they felt, I increased intensity a little, and tried to keep my wrist moving for continuous impacts. No complaints from her, and she seemed to really enjoy it. I then bent over our Liberator scoop, and she came out and gave me some whacks, mostly to my ass. Wow was it devine! Especially when it got right on the crack of my ass, yum yum!
