Silicone Strand Tickler Whip

A long slim handle and a full head of fine silicone strands, for tease that can turn into sting.

This sits between a tickler and a small flogger, which is exactly why it is useful. Dragged slowly, the strands trail across skin as pure sensation with no impact at all. Flicked, they gather into a light sting. One toy covers both halves of a warm up, and it costs less than almost anything else that does.

Why this works

• Two toys in one motion. Drag for tease, flick for sting, with nothing to put down in between.
• Fine strands, not falls. Far lighter than a flogger, so there is no real impact to manage and no bruising to worry about.
• Silicone. Non-porous, so it wipes clean properly rather than holding onto anything.
• A long thin handle. Reach without leaning in, which matters when somebody is restrained and you want to stay out of their eyeline.

The specs

• Material: silicone
• Water resistant
• Color: black

How to use it

Use it blind. Almost everything here works better when the person on the receiving end cannot see where the next touch is coming from, so pair it with a blindfold. Start with slow drags across the inside of the arms, the throat, the stomach and the inner thighs, where skin is thinnest and reads the most. Save the flick for after that, and keep it to fleshy areas.

Care

• Wash with mild soap and warm water, or a toy cleaner.
• Silicone is non-porous, so it cleans completely.
• Hang it or lay it flat so the strands keep their drape.

Use it for

• Warm up before anything heavier
• Sensation play with a blindfold
• Teasing somebody who is restrained
• A cheap first piece of kink gear

FAQ

Is this a flogger or a tickler?
Closer to a tickler. The strands are fine and light rather than weighted falls, so it does tease first and sting second. If you want real impact, a flogger is the right category.

Does it hurt?
Not really, and that is the point. Flicked hard it gives a light sting, but there is not enough weight in it to bruise.

What should I use it with?
A blindfold, every time. Not knowing where the next touch lands is most of what makes sensation play work. The rest of the ticklers and sensation play range is worth alternating with.

How do I clean it?
Mild soap and warm water. Silicone is non-porous so nothing soaks in.
