This lovely line of rubber whips made by Sportsheets comes in a variety of colors and sizes, 10”, 14”, and 22”. The medium-sized (14”) is a perfect size, not too big, not too small, and still provides the right amount of sting. Being new to flogging, I wanted something that wasn’t too terrifying, and this bright purple toy seemed to be up to the challenge.

Upon taking the whip out of the shipping box, I immediately smelled rubber. That is to be expected, as this product is rubber and plastic. This is therefore friendly for anyone who doesn’t want animal products in their flogging gear|Spanking and Flogging. The whip itself is comprised of multiple, thin strands of dyed rubber. The smell does fade very quickly. The clear handle is very comfortable for me. I have smaller hands for a guy, and this fit perfectly in the palm of my hand. Someone with larger hands may find this handle a bit too small. There is also a cloth cord that extends out of the handle to make sure you don’t lose your whip in the heat of the moment.

I chose the purple, to match the Crave wrist cuffs|Amazing wrist cuffs I use. Most of the strands are dyed a lovely shade of purple, but a few seem like they missed the dye process and are a cream color. I tied my girlfriend to the bed, face down. I used the whip and dangled it lightly above her skin, tickling her with the soft rubber strands. The tickling drove her crazy and provided a very different sensation than feathers.

This whip packs a surprising punch. As it is only 14” in total length, quite a bit of force can be put behind it with relatively little effort. This causes a very nice stinging sensation. It leaves a nice array of bright red marks, almost like rubber band snaps. These are mostly superficial and should quickly fade. One can just as easily deliver a much softer, gentler blow, depending on your own preferences. The swish sound it makes as you swing it through the air heightens the experience, especially if you’re using it on a blindfolded person.

Being rubber, this toy is also very easy to clean. I have an older rinse off toy cleaner that I use. I hold the whip up, coat it in a few sprays, and then rinse well. The color does not bleed and has not faded. I usually hang it to dry as it’s much faster. Be aware, this toy does knot very easily!

The medium rubber whip|Medium rubber whip is great for beginners. It’s an affordable, quality option to see if flogging is right for you. Someone who is more advanced with flogging would also appreciate the ability to easily store and travel with this whip. This is a toy that is better used with more than one person. My girlfriend and I have both enjoyed using this whip and are very happy with it.
