Personal Experience
A major part of my personality is being strong, independent, and opinionated. While in my professional life this serves me well, in the bedroom those qualities are deemed “bratty.” Thankfully, I have a partner that can handle my sass. I was interested to see if the Bondage Boutique Black Rose Beginner’s Flogger might compliment our dynamic.
First Impressions
I was a bit nervous to try out impact play, but when I opened the packaging I was instantly ready to try it out. I was expecting to find something cheap and “plastic” looking because the price was so low, but that’s not what arrived. I was impressed with the soft, faux leather wrapped around the sturdy grip and flowing down into the 44 fronds. There is a loop at the end of the grip that would make it easy to hang on the wall near the bed for easy access. Also, the size seemed perfect. As a beginner, it wasn’t so large as to be intimidating, but I think if it were any smaller it wouldn’t have the same affect or get lost in the sheets.Leading Up to the Big Day
When the Bondage Boutique Black Rose Beginner’s Flogger arrived, my partner and I were in the middle of many projects and didn’t have the opportunity to use it right away. We did, however, enjoy mentioning it in our daily life. If I had a sarcastic comment or got sassy with them, the flogger was brought up as a punishment. This led to some very hot daytime interactions in anticipation of the “big event.” Adding scenarios that involved our under-mattress restraints, or bondage tape elevated the images so by the time we had a free night, we were both ready to go.In the Moment
For the first use, my partner surprised me while I finished up some household chores. The soft fronds were delicately brushed up my arm and over my shoulder from behind. The unexpected tickling sensation had me dropping everything and following them into the bedroom like a good little sub. We started off slow, teasing and tickling all over to see what felt good and what didn’t, but honestly, it felt good everywhere. Of course, at one point I couldn’t help my snark and that’s when the play was elevated. Flipping me over, the Black Rose Flogger became a tool used in the manner it was intended. I was pleasantly surprised to find that, while delivering a nice “sting,” the impact wasn’t intolerable. It created a small amount of pain, but not enough to bruise, mar, or otherwise cause injury. Varying the angle and velocity changed the amount of “sting,” but it never became too much.My Verdict
All in all, adding the Bondage Boutique Black Rose Beginner’s Flogger was an amazing way to keep the spice going through the week, and then provided some amazing results in the bedroom. It was a bit awkward at first, figuring out what positions and angles worked best, what I liked, and how to best play with it. I’m sure true, experienced Dom/sub dynamics might set up scenes and continue use throughout sex, but for us, this time, it was mostly a form of foreplay. I’m excited to use it again and try to incorporate it into the entire sexual experience. It was a very enjoyable addition to our toy box.Design
The Bondage Boutique Black Rose Beginner's Flogger looks and feels extremely well made. The design of the handle makes it easy to grip. The length and material of the fronds make it easy to deliver various amounts of "sting" from different angles.
Ease of Use
This toy is extremely easy to use, just grab and swing. It's small and light enough to be used by everyone, and large enough to not get lost in the sheets during play. The handle is non-ergonomic, however, and may not work for someone with grip or mobility issues.
Quality
The low cost had me worried that when it arrived it would look cheap and "plastic," but I was pleasantly surprised to find leather-looking binding and fronds. The handle is wrapped well and provides a good grip, and it doesn't look like it would fall apart easily. The 44 soft, faux leather fronds are held securely into the handle.
Price
The Bondage Boutique Black Rose Beginner's Flogger is cheaply priced but not cheaply made. This is the perfect price for someone who isn't sure if they will enjoy impact play or not. If they decide they don't like it, they're only out a small amount of money.
Performance
The Bondage Boutique Black Rose Beginner's Flogger definitely lived up to they hype. The material feels good on the skin when teased but delivers a nice "strike" during play. It can be used as lightly/strongly as desired.
Packaging
The Bondage Boutique Black Rose Beginner's Flogger came in a plastic packaging that isn't designed for storage or discretion. I was surprised that the toy inside the cheap-looking plastic appeared so well made. Also, there was no information on it about use or care which would have been helpul.
Materials and care
There were no care instruction provided in the package or on the website. My suggestion is to avoid water or bodily fluids as much as possible. The faux leather feels nice, but is most likely not waterproof. Wiping down with a damp cloth to air dry will be my method of care.
