This satin whip is great for beginners. It provides just enough sting to feel pleasurable. The satin fabric is very soft and comfortable. I love the red & black colors. The wrist strap is a great addition. It also works well as a tickler. It can be used all over the body for stimulation. The only down-side I find to this is that I like a lot more sensation and pain, but this is amazing for beginners.

The satin fabric doesn't seem like it will hold-up over a period of time. The design is OK, but a better-quality fabric would make me, as a customer, feel like I got my money's worth. The studs on it add a nice sense of BDSM but are just for looks.

This whip worked well for tickling and foreplay, but, when it came to the actual whipping, I was unimpressed. It is more of a beginner's whip. It was a little too light for us. Although, I liked it when it was ran all over my body for sensation. It could also be used as a great addition to a costume (role play).

The whip is very compact and can be stored easily. I would keep it in my travel bag for when I was away from home. The only down-side was that the silk stains easily. You need to be very careful not to get any "liquid" on the fabric.

The packaging of the whip was very cheap. It was in just a plastic box that opened from one end. It had the typical half-naked girl on the front that you would expect. The packaging did do its job, though, of protecting the whip until consumer use.

Overall, the whip was good for a beginner, but, once I purchased it, I realized we needed something more advanced. We are now using it for sensational purposes and role play costumes.

We liked the toy as a light, foreplay object. It gave just enough sensation to get the mood started. We will most likely use it for that from now on.
