Black rose whipping willow - whip discontinued by Doc Johnson - review by Dr.Poptart

Treat your partner to some punishment with this BSDM toy. This whip is a great starting tool for mild to moderate impact play. Matching the rest of the set, it is purple with a soft, leatherlike handle and a rose adorning the end. I have bought most of this set to start BSDM play and I have not yet been disappointed. Plus, the price is fantastic for a starter. I must admit, I wish it packed a harder punch, but I am into pretty significant erotic pain and spanking, so this just scratched the itch. Next time I will look for something a bit harder with shorter strings to make more of an impact.

Having purchased most of the entire set of the Black Rose line, this was a for sure in my basket. When unboxing it, I was very excited to use immediately! It is made very well. It's compact and easy to throw in a suitcase to take with you, or tuck away in a drawer when company comes over. Plus, I love, love, love the purple color.

Due to the fact that this is false and not real leather, I would suggest keeping it away from lubes, oils, and other products, as they stick to the material. Also, it's not the easiest to clean. I had a difficult time cleaning off some of the oil-based lubes from it. Eventually it came off with a warm, soapy washcloth and a little elbow grease.

The product is easy to hold onto with the use of the wrist strap, so you can let it hang on your wrist when not in immediate use. Other products include restraints, blindfold and a bit. I have purchased all except the bit, and would recommend the rest of the line, especially to anyone starting BSDM play.

Playing with this was awesome. You have to expect it will not be hardcore so to say, but it does leave a sting if you have a partner that puts the effort into it. It is very pleasurable, if you like pain that is.
