Hearts leather whip - flogging toy by PHS International - review by HannahPanda

If you're feeling a little frisky, this flogger is perfection. Use it in the bedroom for a little blood flow to sensitive areas such as your chest or thighs, or carry it on the go for a quick play session. This flogger is more thuddy than anything, so if you're looking for sting you may get it with this product, but it'll take some hard swing to get a sincere pain threshold if you're more experienced with floggers with smaller falls.

Use the falls to tease your partner lightly, dragging them along skin, or give them a bit harsher punishment by bringing the falls down harder onto their skin. Either way, this is a great flogger for beginners who are just starting out, or for those experienced in play who would like a nice warm up flogger to add to their collection.

The design of this flogger is fairly nice. The handle is put together nicely and allows for firm, sure grip. At the base of the handle is a D-ring that can be used for hanging the flogger up when you're not using it.



The 22 falls on this flogger are a bit on the larger side at 1/4'' each. They're made of a soft, pliable leather and are rather soft. They hang from a handle that is about 6 1/2'' in length and is adorned with small hearts and metal beads for decoration. The design of the flogger is reinforced, though it isn't all that heavy. It weighs in at just half a pound and may require some practice controlling, but it's not the heaviest we've ever played with. Overall, I'd say it's pretty lightweight compared to other heavier play floggers we've used. This makes for a compact design, which is easy to include in your travel belongings or to tuck into a pouch to store it.



The leather adorning most of the product is smooth to the touch. It feels and smells like most leather, which for a lot of you, is an incredible smell. The entire flogger is well made for your money and a great product to add to your collection.

Thud, thud, thud. That's the sound this beauty makes when used and it's a fantastic one. It's exactly what my partner and I were looking for when we wanted to start with a flogger. For some, it may be a little on the pricey side, but for your first flogger to perform just the way you want it to, it's worth it. I'm not into stings, and this flogger in particular only stings with the right flick of your wrist. Therefore, if you are into pain play, this still may be an okay flogger for you to use to warm your partner up before some heavier play. I love when my partner teases me with the falls first, then moves to making the sensations a little harsher. This is one great flogger for dragging the falls over your partner's skin before play. Because the leather is so smooth, it feels really great.

Because this flogger is so lightweight, you'll find it pretty easy to swing around and hit the sweet spots you're aiming for. With any flogger, a little practice is necessary, but less for this design because the lightweight body of the toy and falls just make for easier control when you're using it.

Overall, this flogger is designed to maintain itself. It's so well designed in the way the falls are positioned and held in tact, that it will last a long time for even the most active flogging individual.

Leather, however, can be a different story. When it comes to cleaning this toy, carelessness just won't do. Leather requires patience in terms of what you clean it with and how. If you clean your product with a damp cloth, don't toss it into a shoebox, under the bed, into a dark toy chest, or any other closed, compact space. Leather dries out easily, cracks, splits, molds, and that just won't suffice for a product so pretty. Wipe it down, make sure it's cleaned to your heart's content, then hang it to dry with clothing or on it's own so that it isn't in a dark, musty area or hanging so the sun can hit it and thus, you're back to square one with the cracking problem.

I store my flogger in it's original packing, personally. This isn't ideal, but it works for now. I've simply wrapped the falls so they don't bend or get damaged during storing and take it out when I'm ready to use it. If possible, hang your flogger up by the D-ring. This is just precaution so that when you're storing it, it doesn't do it any damage to have the falls bent or curled around the handle for long periods of time.

The packaging included is kind of plain and I'd prefer if the flogger hadn't come to me already folded up. While it didn't damage the toy in any way, I kind of wanted to take it out right away to save it from what looked like a really uncomfortable position for any flogger to be in.

The case is plastic, and has a cardboard piece that describes other toys the company provides. The information is pretty minimal and doesn't really provide a lot of information about flogger use or the flogger itself. It's both recyclable and okay to use for storage, but I wouldn't store my flogger in it for a long period of time. I've used it to store bullets and other things, though.

I really love that I found exactly what I was looking for in this product. High quality craftsmanship and attention to detail made this a great first-time flogger buying experience. The falls are a great length and width for the thuddy sensation my partner and I were going for. We were scared to buy one at first, considering that this flogger may pack a little too much sting and would be way beyond what we're used to using. We got a nice medium, so if we ever decide to participate in harsher play, this product can be used for that, as well.
