Purchased this recently. This leaves marks with very little effort at all. Even when using this gently it leaves long lasting marks that can last for a day. Delivers a very harsh sting when used hard. Recommend this product but not for the faint hearted.

I have variety of crops ect .This has the most sting with very little effort. It is also nearly silent. Just be careful only let someone you trust.

Pleasing to look at and a nice weight in the hand this little beastie needs to be treated with respect. After a short time to straighten itself out (it comes bent over in the package) a couple of practice strokes on a pillow showed that it certainly packs a punch. After a bit of a warmup with a paddle a few applications of increasing intensity left some lovely marks. The four good lashes that followed left some beautiful welts and a trembling sub, just short of crying out the safe word, begging his mistress to stop. Be careful - Over exuberant use could well result in bloodshed.
