I was so excited to get this product that I'll admit, I ripped open the box like a rabid animal. It comes in a small black box by Lelo with a product tag, which gives it a really fancy feel to it before even opening. The handle is made of a hard acrylic-type material and is completely smooth aside from the name LELO engraved in it. The base of the whip as well as below the handle are made of metal.

The suede itself is soft, but the power of the toy is really correlated to the person holding the whip. It is soft enough that it can be used with beginner couples but able to handle harder whippings from more experienced users. As someone quite into BDSM, I recommend this product for many levels. For real beginners, however, if you haven't used a whip or flogger in the past I may suggest buying a cheaper one just to try before investing in this. Probably not a top-choice for those who have never tried BDSM or incorporated pain into their sexual experiences before.

I haven't had any of the tails damage since I bought it, so I would say that the material is able to withstand quite a lot, which is nice to see in a product like this. It's durable but still gorgeous! For the first few sessions of use, however, you will tend to see tiny bits of suede coming off if you're using any real force behind it. This stops after a while of use, but it can be a little annoying at first to be covered in tiny flecks of suede. I haven't experienced any scratches in the handle as of now.

My only real other comment on this whip is its size. Maybe I didn't look much into it before buying because I was so excited by the look of it, but it is smaller than I expected. A little disappointed at first, though I've come to find that the size really wasn't an issue. I see this is a positive thing in the end, as I am able to travel with it more easily.

I wish "I like it less" was an option. It's not that I don't dislike this product now, it's just that I have gotten a little bored of it. I've been seeking something with a more intense sting to it and the more I use this, the more I find it's intensity to be lower than I thought it was. I'd still recommend this for beginner and moderate-level users of BDSM.
