Having some experience with this sort of device, my expectations were immediately shattered upon receiving this cat-o-nine tails whip. While normally you would expect some heft and length to the strand portion, saying that it hits like a wet noodle is even being generous. It feels like a child's toy in my hand, and instead of helping to solidify any sort of dominate play, it works against it, making you just seem silly. Now, do not get me wrong, while I think that this is a sub-par item, it may work for some people. Someone who is highly sensitive to pain or such things may in fact find this enjoyable. As an example: try as I might, no matter how hard I swung and even at the most I could accurately muster, the whip let out but a paltry slap upon her behind; not so much stinging as tickling. So for anyone who may be looking for something with a bit more "oomph," you ought to try a leather cat-o-nine tails; I am fully intent on it myself!

While looking fairly pleasing to the eye, immediately one notices, however, that your preconceived notions of what a whip should be, were not held to standard in the making of this product. Throw out all of what you may wish it to be, because it is not that. The design is nice enough I suppose, if you're a bondage virgin. However, it is hardly large enough for one hand, and looks as though it should be a prop in a costume shop, and not an actual bondage toy for real couples wanting to have a bit of kinky fun. The material is comprised of a sort of lightweight fabric from end to end that is more lightweight than that of a polyester T-shirt, and has a terminal velocity of a snail who is half asleep. On a positive note, it has a "convenient" safety strap so that you don't accidentally throw it across the room when you're trying to swing it with all of your might, simply because, try as you may, you just can't seem to get a satisfying thwack with it.

I do not want to ramble so I shall keep this simple. If you want a whip, have a tolerance to pain higher than that of a three year old, and want a real toy for your fun time bondage play, do yourself a favor and splurge; buy a leather whip or something nice that will have some heft and hold up better than this.

Again as a side note, this is best for people who are very very new to mixing kink into their sex life, or those with a sensitivity to pain.

It came in very standard packaging, with no instructions included. But then how hard it is to swing a whip?
