I was recently sent various products from the 50 Shades of Grey Sensual Care Collection, free of charge, in exchange for my fair and honest review. What follows is my review for the Fifty Shades of Grey Please Sir Flogger.

Floggers are one of my favourite fetish implements to wield and use. They are so versatile – you can use them either gently over the flesh to stroke and tease (my preference, when used on me) or for a more severe impact in corporal punishment sessions.
Depending on how ‘naughty’ your submissive partner has been (in a couples’ sex style, bedroom bondage session), or alternately how much pain you wish to dish out to your faithful bitch servant (more for the power exchange lifestylers), you can utilise a flogger to deliver just the right amount of impact.
Because they can be used in a variety of ways, they are brilliant for beginners to fetish and bondage roleplay. Entirely non-intimidating, a flogger can seduce with just the idea of a romantic exploration over their naked flesh with the myriad of tickling fronds (tails).
50 Shades Flogger Review
The Fifty Shades of Grey Please Sir Flogger is described most simply as your bog standard flogger. Handle, with many slender tails attached. Hold it in your hand and stroke or hit your partner’s flesh with it. Job done. The rest (the atmosphere, the location, the roleplay, the partner) is down to you.
Like the other items I have received from the Fifty Shades range, this flogger comes packaged in themed packaging with the correct typeface from the book trilogy and the same colours for consistency. It would of course make a great gift for a Fifty Shades fan.
It comes with a cute light grey satin drawstring storage bag with Fifty Shades of Grey printed on the front, and a small leaflet giving you some ideas on how to use it for most exhilarating and arousing results for mutual enjoyment.
This all adds to the feel and reassurance that the Fifty Shades of Grey Please Sir Flogger is an official product and it states very clearly that it is indeed approved by Fifty Shades of Grey author E L James. Definitely not your bog standard flogger. O-ho no. Well actually, yes. But you know, it’s in the right box and with a little Fifty Shades tag which makes all the difference. 😉
At this juncture I do have to share with you my confusion. Why would a small sized (or any size) flogger even need a storage bag? I don’t keep my floggers stored in bags, or stored in anything at all – other than either in a drawer, a big box of ‘kinky stuff’ or hung on a peg by the end loop. I don’t know anyone who would choose to keep a flogger in a satin drawstring bag. It feels as if it were just added to this item because it is in keeping with the range – after all, the other two items I have tried also came with the same style bag. It’s a nice touch I suppose, when giving it as a gift – but entirely pointless. I suppose you could keep another toy in it. A silicone one. So yeah, free bag. Woo hoo.
Final bag point – the Fifty Shades of Grey Please Sir Flogger barely even fits in the drawstring bag. You have to curl all the tails back in upon themselves ever so tightly and even then it just about does up. If you have your flogger in storage that much, you don’t deserve to own one. Just saying. Use it and chuck it under the bed afterwards like a normal person.
Finally: down to the flogger. It’s cute. I do actually quite like it. The rounded handle is nice to hold and it’s slightly padded for comfort with a rigid inner for durability. Both ends of the handle are finished with an extra band of what feels like soft leather despite being simulated, with added silver coloured rivets to secure them and make it look pretty. The official Fifty Shades of Grey wording sits proudly on a tag that juts from the leather collar nearest the flogger fronds, while a small hanging loop is by the end held in your palm.
The end loop is not long enough to wear this Fifty Shades of Grey Please Sir Flogger round your wrist during use; it is for storage only. Which renders the satin storage bag that came with it even more useless… Ok, ok, I’ll shut up about the bag now.
The tails of the flogger are lightweight. You couldn’t give someone a thorough, scalding punishment with this item, I would say it is more for the soft bedroom play of fetish rather than anything even remotely hardcore. Not sure why you would be even looking at a Fifty Shades of Grey flogger if you *were* hardcore, but still. I did, so hey-ho. I like pretty things too though and it’s definitely that.
Whereas the handle is black with silver rivets, the tails are light grey, silver really, on one side. The other side of them is white. They have flat cut tips, not bias cut; adding to its ‘soft bondage’ feel rather than skin slicing effect.
The lightweight tails make this Fifty Shades of Grey Please Sir Flogger supremely easy to use regardless of your experience of flogging; or corporal punishment/BDSM/Topping/Dominance in general. They do however feel quite cheap which is at odds with the nicely made handle. I would have preferred to have seen the same colour on both sides of the tails. It feels like a big sheet of one sided, silver coloured faux leather was fed through a shredder and the end result was attached to a handle.
Which, incidentally, is probably how these floggers are actually made.
If I use this Fifty Shades of Grey Please Sir Flogger in the bedroom to tease my partner’s flesh before sex, it’s going to last me a good long while. If I use it to try and actually hit someone to punish them, it won’t last me five minutes – and more importantly, I’m going to get pissed off in the meantime as I won’t be able to give them a good thwack with it. It’s far too lightweight for any of that palaver, as well as far too short in the tails.
Measurements:
Handle – 5.75″
Tails – 9″
Overall length – 14.75 (almost 15)”
Summary? If you or your partner is an avid Fifty Shades of Grey fan and love the softer, more romantic edge of kinkiness (or either of those), this is a great item for you. If you are looking for a flogger to take to your disobedient, shackled submissive in the dungeon, then kindly move along. Nothing to see here.
A cute beginner’s bedroom flogger that will appeal to all fans of E L James’ Fifty Shades of Grey.
