If I think back to my early days of kink, I'd have to say that my first tool was a wooden spoon, but not far behind that was a flogger. I don't recall it being a fancy flogger as I was limited on budget, but I liked it and it lasted me for years until the handle unraveled and it was hard to use. Floggers are a common tool in playtime for a lot of people, so when BondageBunnies out of the UK contacted me to review one of their House of Eros floggers, I agreed. BondageBunnies is a UK sex and bondage store, but they also ship internationally so don't let that stop you from checking out what they offer. Now, on to the review!

What is it?

The House of Eros collection medium weight flogger is made from lightweight suede and has a lovely wooden handle with a small hook to hang it if you desire.  I received an all brown flogger but the site shows a few other color options to choose from. The fall length is 21 inches making this a standard size flogger.

Thoughts

First, I'd like to talk about the product listing on the site, because it's sorely lacking in detail. The listing for the flogger I received says this is a medium weight flogger. However, it doesn't say what type of leather, its weight is unclear. It doesn't say what type of wood the handle is made out of either. So, what you are ordering is a complete mystery. But if you dig through the other flogger products on the site you learn that the leather is indeed cow hide and the handle is Sable.

What arrived is a light suede flogger. I'm not even sure how much lighter the lightweight flogger on the site could be if this is thin suede. In my opinion, a medium weight flogger should be much heavier and meant for a more intense experience than the flogger that arrived. I loved the handle and the length of the falls was good for our bedroom space and for close quarters play.

Now, don't get me wrong, this flogger can have a place in your play bag. For people that prefer pain, you could use this for warm up quite nicely. If you are aren't into pain at all, this is more like a massage so you might want to pick this one up if you like a soft thuddy experience that you can float away with. KnyghtMare said it was nice to work with and the time he used it didn't fatigue his wrists at all.

This flogger is a great first flogger, for people who haven't experienced one before or are novices to its use. It's in a great price bracket for a starter bag and if you decide you don't like it, it won't hurt to leave it for something else, unlike some higher market floggers that can run in the hundreds of dollars.

Packaging

The flogger arrived in a plain brown box. Inside the box, the flogger was in a plastic sleeve to keep the falls neat and clean. Shipping did take awhile since I do not live in the UK where the store is based.

Pros and Cons

Where to Get It

You can pick up your own medium weight suede flogger from BondageBunnies for 24 GBP (about $32 US). Check out the entire House of Eros range on the site including the other color options. Purchases are shipped within 24 hours and delivery estimates are available at checkout.  BondageBunnies accepts returns within 14 days with receipt. See their Returns page for further details.

If you are looking for a good first flogger and live in the UK, this is a quick and easy item to pick up. If you live elsewhere, you can find comparable floggers from other manufacturers that won't cost you an arm and a leg to ship. So, in this case, local really does make a difference. The flogger's quality is good for the price so if you can get it, then I suggest you do.

This product was given to me by BondageBunnies, free of charge, in exchange for an honest review.
