This is a very versatile impact toy. It would work for beginner users who are either interested in only sensual play, or interested in small amounts of stingy pain intermixed with a thuddy sensation. This also works extremely well for intermediate/advanced bdsm players. It has a stingy feeling that has an after-thud to it. Which lends for an interesting sensation. It'd be perfect for warm-ups and/or the main event.

This is made really well for a manufactured toy. It is a bit light, but is still able to be wielded without feeling like it is going to fly out of your hand. It smells like leather, without being overwhelming. Really, to smell the leather you'll need to put the toy pretty close to your face. Which could be a good or bad thing depending on how much you like the smell of leather.

This is definitely a quality toy though, and I think it will last a really long time.

This is a great toy. I was surprised at the multitude of different ways to use this, and the different levels of people that could use it. My boyfriend has been using impact toys such as this for over a decade and a half, and he said that this was an enjoyable toy to use. It was easy to get the hang of, and once you started using it, it was easy to continue going without getting too tired. Being on the other end of the toy, I found it enjoyable because there was a strange sensation of stingy and thuddy all at once. Not to mention it left beautiful red marks on my skin.

Store this with the D ring, hanging up. This makes sure that the toy doesn't get kinks/folds in it that can't be taken out. Don't get your toy too wet, that will mess this up. However, if you get something on it like lube or juices, just wipe it down with a damp towel and some soap. Also, a simple leather care kit can prolong the lifespan of your toy.
