I think this toy is best used for spanking and rubbing all over the body. This toy can be great for beginners. I don't think it would cause enough pain for someone into BDSM. I felt like it wasn't enough pain for me. The feather was great.

The design is nice, I love the light pink in the feathers. The rod is made of hard plastic. The whipper end is made out of rubber. It is made very well made and will last a long time. The length is 26 inches. The whipper is about 7 inches by itself and not stiff at all.

The whipper worked really good, just not enough pain. It feels more like a sting. The feather did meet my needs. They are soft and can be used to tickle. Overall I had a lot of fun playing with this toy with my husband.

When using the whipper the sound is not too loud; it's more of a light whipping sound. It hasn't left any marks and I have used it as hard as I could. When using it, the center rod flexed a lot and moved every time you whipped with it. The feathers are great and they didn't shed at all.

The whipper part is easy to clean with just warm soap and water. The feathers you shouldn't clean, but if you need to you can Mix 1 teaspoon of dish washing detergent and 1/2 gallon of warm water.
Swish the feather in it, but try not to get the soapy water up in the holder.
Don't tug or scrub the feathers, just swish them.
Now do the same thing with water only.
When you're done, shake off as much of the water as you can then use a blow dryer on low heat setting. If you don't have a blow dryer, you can also hang it up near a (clean) air vent or near a fan.

I found the best place to store is in my nightstand.
