Being fairly new to the actual practice of BDSM style play (apart from reading lots of novels in the genre), I was a bit nervous when my new Master told me to order it. It was even more nerve wracking handing it over to him when it arrived. He looked very pleased when he opened the box and then told me to hold out my arm so I could test how it felt. Taking a deep breath I did as I he asked, mentally preparing myself for a sharp sting from what I assumed would be stiff leather strips. Wow! Was I more than pleasantly surprised! \

The strands are a soft suede fabric and instead of a sharp sting of pain, when the strands hit the flesh of my arm, it was more like a firm caress. Of course we then had to give it a proper work out to test its impact on my body. .. and well, I loved every second. Everywhere my Master touched me (and I mean 'everywhere') with it was like a sensual caress. Even when he increased the strength of his aim, the amount of 'pain' it produced wasn't scary or over the top.. it made my body tingle and was incredibly arousing. So I would recommend this whip as a must for anyone wanting to explore less 'vanilla' and a lot more 'multi flavour' in their sex life!
