This is another great piece for beginners into kink and BDSM. It's really pretty but looks aren't everything when it comes to impact and sensation play. It's great for a new adventure into sensation play, but for serious or hard players, this is not the one.

The falls on this particular flogger are nice. They can be used to tickle, tease or sting depending on the swing. This cat o' nine tails type flogger made of faux leather has a nicely weighted wood handle that is covered in the same faux leather and embellished with rhinestones.

The falls are really nice, not too wide and not too thin. It will leave some lovely superficial red marks. If you are looking for deeper marks or bruises, this one is really not going to be suitable. This particular product is great for beginners or as a warm up flogger, or even a nice display item that can showcase a "Strict Beauty" in your play space.

This 30.5" cat o' nine tails type flogger is designed well for its price tag. The shape is quite beautiful and the embellishments really add to its beauty. It appears well made for starter play and light usage, though the handle bands at the top and bottom of the handle look a little weak to me. Again though, I may play rough with my toys.

The faux leather seems to be some of the better faux leather I've seen. So as far as faux goes it's well suited to the design of the S&M Jeweled Flogger. I believe that for light and introductory play, this flogger is a great addition to a toy chest.

The handle is weighted well, though the "wrist strap" is more like a display strap. Personally I like to have a wrist strap whenever I am swinging a flogger, but if it doesn't matter one way or another for you, this wouldn't be an issue. For the handle again, there are some rhinestone embellishments that while pretty, are the weakest point of the handle. If you are wielding this flogger, the rhinestones tend to come off in your hands.

After incorporating this into some play time, the rhinestones came off in my hands. As honey was playing with it, the falls kinked up as he uses wider swings than I do and may be a little heavier handed than I. He grips the handle pretty tightly and said that the strap with the embellishments was more a distraction than an addition to the experience.

This really isn't an impact toy that we would regularly incorporate into our spanky fun time. On the plus side though, it does display well for those who are interested in a fun, bedazzled flogger or wanting a display piece for their play space.

As far as meeting our expectations, you get what you pay for. So yes, it did meet our expectations. You can't expect the results of a $200.00 plus flogger in a less than $20.00 piece. We simply re-dazzled with some colored stones and hung it in our play space as a decorative flogger.

This is pretty easy to care for. Some mild soap and water to clean the faux leather falls and hang to dry or lay flat. Though do keep an eye on the rhinestones as you are cleaning. Don't be too rough in cleaning the handle or you'll lose some of them.

Storage depends on if you need a hiding spot or can proudly fly your freaking flogger. Personally, we have it hung as a display in our play space and it works well for this purpose.

This really is a pretty display or beginner toy. It's great for someone who is interested in exploring some sensation play in a light setting. A more advanced or heavy player may not find this sufficient for their needs.

Overall our experience with the S&M Jeweled Flogger is exactly what we paid for. As it turns out, we've had a lot of positive comments regarding our decorative Jeweled Flogger, though it's more aesthetic than use for us. A great addition to any decorated play space.
