Heart 2 Heart Whip Review

Whips, floggers, and sensation toys in general are a very new chapter for me. Although I'd always had a passing curiosity, it wasn't until Babeland offered me a stunning opportunity- one that included the lovely Heart 2 Heart Whip, that I finally explored them properly.

The Heart 2 Heart Whip is actually a flogger, not quite a whip, due to the amount of tails it has. A whip would have one, or just a few, but the H2H has 21 tails, though this may vary. Each one is soft leather, finished to a point, and it has a lovely leather scent that is simply unbeatable.

It comes in simple packaging- an easy to open clamshell, and its tasteful enough that I don't feel bad about leaving it out. There isn't much care info on the clamshell, but for some general guidelines, you should ideally store your flogger so the tails can hang down and not get tangled- if you can't do that, just fold the tails against the handle, or lay them flat during storage. I actually have had no problems with tangling, and I store it folded up since I haven't got a hook to hang it on. It does, however, have a nice D-ring that could be used for hanging or possibly clipping onto a belt if you needed to keep it on-hand. If you need to clean your flogger, you can just use a damp cloth and you can also find leather conditioner at shoe stores and the like if your flogger seems to be getting dull or stiff.

The handle has a wooden core that is visible if you brush all the leather tails out of the way, this gives it a good, balanced weight and a very sturdy feel. The handle has inlaid red leather hearts and rivets, and the leather itself is of a good quality- not as soft as bullhide, but very soft and durable nonetheless.

One of the things that was so very surprising to me is just how different this was from what I expected it to be. When I thought of whips or floggers, I thought 'pain', and while this can cause pain, it is a very unique sensation that is stingy, tingly and arousing as opposed to the typical pain you'd experience from say, stubbing your toe. It is also different from open-hand spanking, belt spanking etc something I was very concerned about since I'd been spanked as a child and it was no fun at all.

Even when hitting as hard as I possibly could, it still was not a blindly painful experience. In fact, I was really surprised and pleased at the range of sensations you can achieve with this flogger. Light strokes across the skin feel feathery and tickly due to the soft leather tips on the tails, dragging it over the skin with more force almost feels like little fingertips caressing your body. Moving on to actual 'hitting', a hit with the tips of the tails making contact is tingly, whereas the harder you hit and the more the tails themselves make contact each hit, the 'thuddier' it gets. I would consider the sensation from being struck with the tails full-on to feel... more akin to a slap, not a heavy handed slap but just a sharp contact with the skin that stings but doesn't linger too long.

Also, with a full swing, the tails spread out a lot, making the contact more spread out over time, as opposed to one solid 'hit'. Its a really interesting sensation for sure, and nothing like what I expected.

As far as noise, there is obviously going to be noise when using this flogger. The noise is similar to a sharp 'slap' and can be quite loud depending on how hard you're hitting.

One thing that I feel like I should emphasize once again is the range of sensations. Yes, you can cause pain with this- but there is just such a wide range of ways to use it. I found it fun to grab the tails with my hand and lightly brush the tips across my skin, it really felt tickly and feathery and I was very surprised. It is so very amazing to me just how versatile this is. I think that is one of the reasons I love it so very much.

Since getting this toy, it's become one of my absolute favorite things to play with, and I regret all the time I spent thinking flogging was just 'some pain thing'.
