This is great as a first flogger; it doesn't hit too hard but isn't too weak. For anyone who is new to the BDSM scene, impact scene, or just wants to be a bit more adventurous, this is great. Beginners can use this and pros can still do this justice; overall this is great for everyone. You can even use it for self-flagellation, if that's what you're into.

This came how I expected, but I thought the grip on the handle would be a lot less dull. It cheapens the look of the flogger overall.

This is made of faux-leather, also known as vinyl, making this vegan, from what I can tell. The problem is they used the cheaper "faux-leather" for the strands, and they stretch if you pull on them. I know that's not really something that happens normally, but it's something to consider.

I don't like how they just cut-up strips of the stuff and attached it to the wand either. It looks poorly done. They should have at least coated the backside with something so it didn't look like a mass-produced job. I know 2 strips would have made it too heavy, but I'm sure there's something they could have done about that.

The handle provides a nice grip to keep the flogger from flying loose in a moment of heated passion but weak grip. I liked that this was light and had a loop for storage. Its weight really helps with not breaking whatever I hang it on.

This is no cat-of-nine-tails, but it still packs a bit of a sting. My qualm with this is that the sting feels more like that of a riding crop than a whip. This could be due to the width of the individual strands, or that most of the strands move together so they all evenly distribute the impact, as opposed to a whip. The result of this is a bit of redness, but it doesn't bruise much nor cut, to my chagrin.
