Fresh tassel whip - flogging toy by PHS International - review by SubmissiveFeminist

The Fresh collection is adorable. Who else makes hot pink and bright blue colored BDSM toys? I was anticipating something a little less intimidating when I bought this toy, and I got what I expected. However, this is a really cute toy I can suggest for beginners or those into light flogging.



I mean, look at that. How adorable is the color combination?

This particular whip is thirty inches of polyethylene, which is a plasticy-material. It very much reminds me of the gimp I used to play with as a kid--the plastic strings that you make keychains out of. Both of these materials do have a good stinging effect if you were to whip someone with it, too.



The whip in general is very small compared to my others. The handle fits in the palm of my hand isn't isn't much bigger. It is also very light, which makes the Dominant have to put in some effort for good stings. If you are open to alterations of this product, I suggest taking scissors to the tail ends and cutting off a tiny bit with a large angle. The angle will help provide a better sensation when hit with the tip of the tails if you're looking for heavier amounts of pain.



I really like that they included a D-ring at the base of the handle for hanging. This toy simply is too cute to keep inside a toy box. I will proudly be displaying this one with my others, as silly as it might look next to large leather floggers.



My main problem with this toy has been the flexible handle. I need a really sturdy handle to whip effectively, and this one does fall short. It's made of the same material as the tails, with it wrapped around itself. If this toy was thicker with a sturdier handle I may have given it a 5/5 rating.

I do like this toy, though, and suggest it for beginners or those into flogging without too much pain involved. It isn't very expensive, especially if you get a smaller size, so I claim it worth to invest in if you are interested. Keep in mind that those experienced with BDSM or "true masochists" may not get the expected results from this particular toy.

This really doesn't get used one bit. It's too weak and cheap for my level of involvement in BDSM. Maybe beginners will find this entertaining, but it really is useless to me.
