The Faux fur flogger by Eden Toys is a great starter for couples who are just venturing into impact play. This flogger is a great teaser, but can also provide light pain if handled with a heavy hand. Is it less compact than some floggers, so users will have to get used to wielding it, but this should be easy enough to do. Because of the length of this flogger, it's great for distancing one's self from their partner, but, you can get up close and personal with it as well. This flogger is great for both advanced users and beginners because of it's soft and gentleness that it brings to the bedroom, and can be a warm up or a cool down type of flogger.

Because of its size, this flogger may not be great for travel. If you do decide to travel with it, be sure to keep the falls as flat as possible so that they do not become wrinkled and scrunched. You can use this flogger along the back, the thighs, or the buttocks. It is not recommended for use on the genitals because it does not provide pin-point strikes, however, you can brush the falls against the genitals.

The Faux Fur Flogger by Eden Toys is a beautifully crafted black and red flogger. The handle is made up of a smooth leather in a herringbone pattern over a wooden dowel rod, while the falls are made from faux fur and suede. It is well made, and has a sturdy enough feel that it will hold up to use quite well. This is a great flogger for the price point, and it will last a long time with proper care. The faux fur has a tendency to shed, but this in no way degrades the flogger in any capacity.

All of the materials that make up this flogger has it rating about a 7 out of 10 on the Eden safety scale. This means that the materials are porous, and you should consider them fluid-bonded to the partner you use this on if you're using this flogger in the nude. Sweat and other bodily fluids will soak into this material, and it cannot be sterilized. This particular flogger smells of leather and dye. The leather scent is very potent when taken out of the plastic this flogger came in, and dissipates slowly as it is aired out. After a while the scent of this flogger can only be smelled if placed directly under the nostrils.

Leather is a durable and fairly flexible material used for floggers, restraints, harnesses and many other applications. It is made by tanning animal rawhide, mainly from cows. It has a high resistance to water and has a resistance to tearing.

Suede is a soft, napped finish of material made from leather. It is not as durable as leather, but can hold its own when used for making floggers and whips. Most suede in BDSM toys is made from calf leather, but lamb is fairly common in other suede items.

Faux fur is generally made from synthetic fibers. Depending on the quality, it can be coarse or soft. It can be sewn on a sewing machine whereas real fur cannot, and takes a lot longer to break down. For a flogger, this is an advantage.

The Faux fur flogger by Eden toys is a bit long for play in cramped spaces. It's measurements are:

5-1/4th – circumference of handle (strap end)
3-1/4th – circumference of handle
5-5/8th – circumference of handle (falls end)
6 inches – length between ends of the handle
8-1/2 inches – total length of handle
5-1/8th – length of strap
20-1/2 – length of falls
29 inches – total length w/o strap
34-1/8th – total length of flogger




The product page says this flogger is 30 inches long, but the particular flogger I received was not. It was a full 1/2 inch off (not including the wrist strap). The flogger falls have 24 black suede strands and 12 faux fur strands, totaling a number of 36. These falls are securely attached to the handle.

Running the suede and faux fur along the back or anywhere else along the body is a great way to tease your partner, and swinging the falls lightly will provide a nice slap along the skin. For a stinging effect, use a heavier hand. After striking your partner, allow the falls to brush over the area, as this will provide a soft and soothing sensation along the skin you've already flogged. The faux fur and suede provide a delicate balance which makes the sensations from each strike luxurious and comfortable. If you're not into heavier play, this flogger may be the perfect piece for your bedroom setting.

From the giver's perspective, the handle is quite smooth, and doesn't irritate when used for long periods of time. The leather feels durable and the dowel rod is completely hidden from sight. When in use, the handle nor the falls had any noticeable bleeding. The wrist strap is big enough for even larger than average hands to slip through, so that you can be sure to keep a tight grip while flogging your partner. Even with sweaty palms, the herringbone pattern of the leather keeps a hand from slipping while in use.

The falls have a tendency to spread out over larger areas rather than moving as one. This isn't a problem if you don't mind covering a broader spectrum of flesh when flogging. Even with a heavier hand, these tails 'sting' more than hurt, and feel nice when the faux fur rubs over the skin. It would be hard, but not exactly impossible to bruise your partner with this flogger. The 'stinging' normally occurs when the falls hit the skin with their tips, rather than coming into full contact.

This flogger is made from all porous materials. Should you be using this flogger in the nude, it is safe to consider it fluid-bonded to the partner you're using it on. Floggers made of leather, suede, or faux fur are pretty high maintenance if you wish for them to last for years to come. There are different methods of cleaning for each material, so keep that in mind when you're playing. It is best to keep this flogger away from lubricants, and limit the bodily fluids it comes into contact with.

The easiest way to clean this flogger is to wipe it down completely with a slightly damp cloth. Do not use any kind of soap or harsh chemicals on your flogger as this will degrade the materials. Allow the flogger to air dry, whatever method you clean it, and always lay it flat or hang it by the wrist strap to maintain the falls' straightness. If the falls are bent or crumpled, they can take on this position permanently, and damage the performance of the flogger. Hanging the flogger will also ensure the life of the flogger, and keep it looking tip-top.

If you have the closet space, invest in shower curtain hooks! The round ones are perfect for hanging your flogger in your closet space so that they're kept straight without things pressing on the falls.

The package that came in the mail was a plain, brown cardboard box without content labels or any information as to what might be inside of the box. This box made for extremely discreet shipping. Unless someone looked up "Web Merchants Inc." to discover what they ship out to people, no one would know what this box contained. Inside of the box there were air pillows which kept the flogger from bumping around during shipment. If you want, you can recycle both the box and the air pillows, because they are plastic.

The flogger came in a clear plastic bag. The bag kept the falls from being flung around in transit, but added nothing more to the aesthetics of the flogger. There weren't any instructions, tags or otherwise attached to this flogger, but everything about this instrument of pleasure is self-explanatory. If you would like to gift this flogger to someone, be sure to package it in a nice gift bag or a box so that the falls aren't scrunched up for a long period of time.
