This very sexy, leather, corset-looking laced flogger is close to being a dream toy for anyone into flogging or mild BDSM-type play. The colors, the leather, the lacing all say "sex". Looking at it brings up thoughts of lacing or rather, unlacing a sexy bodice, preparing for a night of passion and giving in the the heat of urgency and desire.

The eleven and a quarter inch handle is made of wood covered in black leather and then covered in a red leather corset which is laced with a red nylon type lacing running though chrome looking grommets/eyelet holes. This handle provides a good sturdy gripping surface and helps in maintaining control yet is still lightweight enough to not tire you out while using it on your partner during play. It is well suited for most hand sizes. After almost a full half hour of solid play, my partner's hand still was not tired from holding and using this. Overall, the entire flogger weighs less than twelve ounces.

But don't let that lighter weight make you think this beauty doesn't deliver because it does! With a gentle hand, this flogger can deliver a solid thuddy sensation. With a firm and determined hand, it can deliver a really harsh stinging pain as the tails of the twelve braided 25-inch falls wrap around body parts. Even if you are very experienced in using a flogger, I advise people to always practice with a new toy such as this one, by using it against a pillow for a while. This allows you to gauge the force you need to exert as well as learning how to wield the toy to achieve your desired result. This also helps you learn to hone your aim. I also advise when trying out a new toy such as a flogger, paddle or strap to test it against your own bare outer thigh before testing it on another person.

A generous loop at the end of the handle is excellent to loop around your wrist during use and provides a good way to hang during storage. In our home, it will not be stored away often if at all, but used regularly. Yes, we like it that much!

This is indeed a quality product and so definitely worth purchasing. It you are into flogging or other BDSM play, you will love this thing. If you are just curious or at the beginning of an interest into flogging play, you will love this. If you are into hardcore play, you will love this. This toy truly can cover the experiences from A-Z in the BDSM realm, it all is dependent upon the handling.

Cleaning is as easy as a gentle wipe down with a very slightly damp cloth followed immediately with a dry soft cloth. Since this is leather, do not immerse in water. If the leather is very wet from body fluids such as sweat, or if you do put it into water, the leather dye might possibly leach off a tiny bit into the water but does not seem to detract from the leather itself and the leather remains a beautiful color.

My husband and I played with this flogger several times. Each time we found it more fun and used it longer and longer. With the vast amount of toys we already have available to us, we have found this flogger to be one of the very first we reach for again and again. It is versatile, depending on the hand of the user. It is beautiful to look at. It is a quality made product designed for years of use. What more can you want? My husband and I both are more than delighted with this flogger. I think anyone into flogging and/or BDSM will be as well.

Not only do we still love this, but we still use it regularly. It has not only maintained it's shape and color, but also it's "whack-ability".
