Review – Double Slapper
.
I wanted something to deliver a smack, a slap, that was travel-size. Many paddles that I’ve seen so far on sextoy.com were bigger than my current toy storage bag could handle (hopefully this will be changing soon – the bag). I liked the idea of the two pieces of leather for an “extra audible sound”
I can’t say really that it’s all that much louder than a single piece of leather….but I can’t tell for sure. It’s not bad, it serves its purpose – but I wasn’t feeling like the leather was that great of quality. Now you wouldn’t want such a device to be all buttery-soft leather…it wouldn’t deliver the pain. But the edges are very stiff and rough. They say it’s made from a high quality Latigo leather. That meant nothing to me. A web search shows that a lot of things made with Latigo leather praise it for being high quality. But then I read on wikipedia what it actually is – treated suede. Glue is mixed with it, it’s pressed, it looks like full-grain leather but it’s not. This would explain the rough feel of the edges. Whenever I see something in the future that boasts Latigo leather, I’ll likely think twice about it.
This sucker HURTS. He could take a good 5-10 minutes of the flogger but only a few smacks with the slapper. Me? Yeah….I can’t tolerate it. OW. However, that’s a big positive selling point ;) Honestly I would recommend this is you’re lookin to bring the pain at an affordable price and small portable size.

I want, I want!
Latigo leather is actually, low quality leather, and like you found out is not even leather. Its like what plywood is to real wood. Check out my review of Sinvention and their site for more info on the difference between Latigo and real quality leathers.
