Review: Black Large Rubber Whip

Black Large Rubber Whip available at Babeland.com!

While Chad and I aren’t really that into BDSM we do enjoy a little bit of impact play. You would be surprised at how sensations that are typically painful can be pleasing when you’re sexually aroused. Babeland recently sent the Black Large Rubber Whip our way. I was interested in it because it’s rubber and the other floggers we have are leather, but I was also a bit nervous. I knew there would be a huge difference in the way the two materials felt in use. We both enjoy the thuddy feel of the leather floggers. I knew the rubber would have a more stingy sensation. If you grew up in the south with grandparents that ever sent you out to pick your own switch then you know what I had to be nervous about.

I was very pleasantly surprised to find out that I really enjoyed the sensation of the stingy rubber whip as much as, if not more, than the leather. So long as it hits flat against something, anyway. It can be a bit painful if the ends of the tails wrap around part of your body.

Have you ever had one of those paddles with the rubber ball connected by a string? The rubber string that attached the ball to the paddle is very similar to what each of the tails of this whip feel like. There are probably 100 of them. They provide a slightly stingy sensation on the very surface of the skin and don’t really leave any marks. If you enjoy seeing bruises or red marks after a BDSM scene then you will want to go with a different styled flogger, a paddle or cane. It feels very nice to drag the tails lightly against the skin, especially after a few stingy whacks.

The flogger itself is about 22″ long. The handle is slender and the weight makes it very easy to wield. If you find your arms tiring out during long impact play sessions then this might be a great option for you. From what I can tell, this is made pretty well. The rubber strands seem to be twice the visible length, just doubled over and fed through the handle. There are two plastic balls on either end of the handle and a clear, flexible tube covering the rubber strings. The end of the handle has a nylon string attached that can be used around the wrist during play or to store the flogger on a hook. You will probably want to hang it when you store it because the rubber tends to tangle very easily. It also picks up hairs and fuzzes that are a bit of an annoyance to pick out.

This is a really great choice for beginners and experienced BDSM players alike. If you’re a beginner to impact play you will want to be careful and read up on some of the safety concerns. You should test toys on yourself before you hit anyone else with them. Sometimes we don’t know our own strength and you don’t want to get caught up in the moment and accidentally hurt your partner. Avoid hitting unprotected parts of the body (like the kidneys and nerves in the lower legs). Read up on safe places to hit, like the buttocks. It’s a great product, just be safe and have fun.

Want a Black Large Rubber Whip of your own? You can pick one up at Babeland. They’ve got it in pink too. If you prefer leather whips, paddles or crops they’ve got those too and plenty of other BDSM gear to choose from. Thanks so much Babeland for sending me such a fun product to review.
