My husband and I found the whipper tickler to be a fun addition to our "toy box." The whip, when lashed, would leave a slight sting on the body, but nothing intense. And it definitely wouldn't break the skin. The rubber whip also worked as a tickler. On the other end you have the feather tickler, which allows for a different sensation as the feathers lightly brush the skin.

The colors make the toy attractive. It is very light weight and easy to use. While the whip is pretty durable, the feathers tend to fall off with every use. Currently there are only three or four feathers left on ours, but we still have the whip, which is what we utilize more.

With the overall product being on the smaller size (the shaft and length of the strands), it is an entry level item. You don't want to get too carried away on the whipping action; as mentioned below it can lead to undesirable results.

The toy is great for teasing; however, it should be used with caution. We found you had to be careful when using the whip; if you got too close you could easily hit them with the plastic tip where the rubber strands are attached. This can lead to an unpleasant sensation that can break the mood temporarily.

We enjoy using the Whipper Tickler along with a blindfold, so the recipient does not know which sensation they will feel. The use of the blindfold definitely intensifies the sensation, which makes it more pleasurable. Personally, I really enjoy my husband using the rubber whip to tease my nipples or clitoris.
