I originally purchased the Love Tap toy because I thought it would be a fun, cute addition to my collection. Sure, it's cute, but that is probably the only positive thing I am going to say in this review. I do not think I have ever purchased a more useless toy in my life. In fact, I am sure I haven't. The toy is completely not effective at all. It does not even snap right. It is very, very flimsy and feels like it will fall apart quickly. Even after the initial use (which lasted no longer than 20 minutes,) I could see and feel a good amount of wear and tear. At the time of purchase, I was not aware that the Love Tap was made out of leather. I would have never bought it if I knew that. With that being said, leather is supposed to be durable. This feels like faux leather at best. The ridges are not smooth, and the whole design is flawed.

I would say it is a good beginner toy for people who are not quite sure about flogging/whipping, but it is not. It is frustrating because even when it did sling back like it was made to do, it was such a weak tap that I barely even felt it. I feel like it is an all-around useless toy. I hate leaving negative reviews like this, but it really was just so terribly frustrating and such a disappointment.

If you want to experience an even cheaper yet way more effective way to whip your partner, just fold up a cord you have lying around and have at it. I am always urging people to buy new toys, even if they are not the highest of quality, so they can experiment and see what they like. However, I cannot say the same for the Love Tap!

I definitely would not recommend this for anyone unless you want to feel increasing frustration.
