This flogger, like many of Sportsheets' products, is definitely something of a budget toy, but at the same time, not a flogger to overlook.

The handle of the flogger is light, I suspect made of a soft wood and covered with the faux leather material and the shiny PVC caps. The weight of the handles means that the falls feel pleasantly weighty in comparison, despite the toy being very light overall. The weight was a pleasant surprise, given the length of the tails — the whole thing measures 32" and most of that is the mean end of the thing: the handle is barely longer than my fist with thumb outstretched for support.

With regards to the faux leather material, well, I'm a big fan of delicious leather; the smell and feel of it really turn me on. So it's hard to impress me with faux leather. That said, the touch of the handle is a good texture, and though the tails feel nothing like leather, they do look nice.

It obviously doesn't smell as good as real leather, but the vinyl material used is sturdy and it seems as if it'll be easy to care for. It's neither particularly stingy nor “thuddy”, which I was quite surprised about — the tails are not particularly thick, so I would have expected a more biting sensation. Whilst it is quite definitely a flogger, you won't beat your bottom into a pool of submissive joy with this. But, silver clouds — that makes it a great beginner's toy, or a nice warm up before a more intense flogging with something heavier or stingier.

The only thing I wasn't sure about is that the falls feel quite stiff at present; I hope with some use that they'll become more flexible (I shall report back!).
