"Fun and flirty, with just a dash of possible danger" is how I would describe the larger version of this particular flogger. We feel just as positively about this one, and it has the bonus of being a cute, dainty size. My partner and I picked a set of these (the regular and junior sizes) because we'd never used any sort of rubber flogger at the time. It was an inexpensive trial run that paid off.

The texture is very similar to that of a Koosh Ball, if you remember those kids toys. It is kind of stringy, powdery on the surface, and full of supercharged static electricity if you travel with it on top of a sweater in the suitcase. When used dry, it is most definitely best suited for light play. It makes a great warm up toy, especially for those not into the heavier levels of pain. It's more of a light caress than anything else. I would put it into the same category as a bunny fur or ribbon flogger.

If you wet it, you have a completely different experience. Once it is soaked through, the water adds a bit of extra weight and sound that enriches the experience.

If you are looking for a heavy flogger with a lot of bite to it, this isn't it. If you are looking for something intimidating in appearance... look elsewhere, too. If, instead, you are looking for a flogger that is colorful, fun to play with, and only a wee bit dangerous looking, then this is perfect. I would recommend this item for any beginner just starting to explore BDSM, sensation play, etc. It is affordably-priced, easy to clean and store, and supports a wide range of learning curves. The smaller size also makes this item very easy to store and travel with.

I've had my set of these floggers for ten years, so I can confirm that they are super durable. When you are done playing, just run it under warm water with household soap, and it's good to go. This little baby attracts lint and fuzz like nobody's business if you try to dry it with a towel, so I normally just hang it up to dry.
