This is a basic black flogger and it not only looks great, it definitely gets the job done. The Long Tail Suede Flogger is a great addition to any sex toy collection, especially for folks into or curious about BDSM (or just spanking). The long full-suede tails deliver a mostly thuddy impact with a little sting as well. This is a great starter flogger for those looking to experiment with heavier spanking than just a hand can deliver. The look is sexy and dark, but again - this is not all looks. Use this toy to make sexy fantasies come true.

The flogger appears to be well-made, with a lovely herringbone pattern on the handle. The handle is crafted of overlapping strips of leather. This pattern continues from the neck up the length of the handle to the butt. The handle feels solid, not springy, and there is no sight of the core. All surfaces are leather.

The tail is made up of thirty-six black suede strips that end with a slightly angled tip. The butt of the handle sports a braided leather wrist strap, which is perfect for keeping an extra-safe grip on this tool of torturous pleasure. The overall length is 30" and the handle circumference is 5.5".

This suede flogger works just as intended. The suede strips deliver an effective thud upon impact with a slightly stingy finish that lingers. This is perfect for beginner or experienced BDSM players, because the delivery determines the force of impact.

The look is sinister and the effect is real. There may be fancier versions out there, but everyone needs a basic little black flogger. Use caution, though, because this is a real flogger, not just a toy.

The flogger did arrive with a slightly chemical-dye smell, but that dissipated in about a day. There is no sign of dye rubbing off or staining any surfaces or skin.

The flogger arrived in a clear plastic bag. There was no label, instructions or other documentation.
