This was the first flogger I ever bought. Having never been someone who likes being on the receiving end of pain, a flogger was one of the few sex toy/bondage items I went years without having felt the need to buy. But then I saw that LELO had made a flogger that looked luxurious and came in vibrant, pretty colours. That was it; I was sold and had to have one.

The box this arrived in the usual upmarket-style box that you will find with every LELO product. Very similar to the boxes their vibrators come in, the Sensua suede whip's packaging is black and glossy, and screams of class.

The flogger itself is small, but no smaller than what you would expect from the photo of it. I got mine in red. At first I was very tempted to get the purple, but seeing as red seemed like such a lustful colour I chose that over the purple version, and was very glad I did. Upon opening the box you are taken aback by how beautiful it is. The handle of the flogger is shiny and feminine and well, expensive looking; the silver ball at the end of the handle pulls the whole look of the flogger together. The other thing about this flogger's handle is just how tempting it looks, so smooth and perfectly formed that it almost has the look of a stylish glass dildo.

The suede tails feel soft and sensual and beg to be run along your skin, which is what I love about this flogger in use. This isn't a flogger for someone who craves pain or punishment; this is the perfect teaser to run along someone's cheeks, back or thighs. It drives me wild every time.

The one troubling thing with my flogger was that it did shed quite a bit in the first few uses and I was worried that it would continue to shed. However, beyond the first three uses this wasn't a problem anymore; so don't panic if you notice a little shedding at first.
