Doc Johnson The Stinger Electro Play Wand

Okay, so I am unbelievably happy that I bought this.

It arrived as usual in a plain brown box. I opened it with my partner (dominant) present and believe me it got confiscated instantly!

This little zapper is brilliant for so many different things. It delivers a very small shock in more 'robust' areas of skin is not so bad, but believe me when I say you will feel it in the more sensitive parts!

As far as use goes, you hold down the button to create the charge. The longer you hold it the higher the charge. Personally I find it more painful when the button is just tapped. It creates more of a sting.

He has told me numerous times that he now has a new favourite toy. He uses it more to 'keep me in line' when I am acting bratty. A bit like when you might spray water at a dog when you are training it. The great part is it doesn't leave a mark like a whip or cane would.

Also, if you use it in the dark it's very pretty!

If you're a Kink.com fan, this is your must-have.

As a submissive, I have a love-hate relationship with it. It is really messing with my mind, just a little zap feels so frightening it scares all the brattiness out of me... and makes me wet.

I love seeing it in videos and having it used on me couldn't work better. Seeing it in my Master's hand can be the worst feeling in the world but I'm throbbing thinking about it.

However, the quality is not great, it's cheap light plastic. Also, there is no off button, even if you take the battery out, the charge will stay for a while so make sure you don't touch the stingy end.

My OH and I are quite experimental and have purchased a wide variety of toys and equipment from our lovely friends at Lovehoney, this being the latest thing to add to the games while I have my wife tied up securely.

Let's get straight to it: the pain. It is a fairly mild shock to be honest, but you can certainly feel it and it makes me jump slightly when the arc touches my skin. The psychological effect of the sharp sound it makes when it strikes combined with the pain, however, is a wonderful thing.

We have used it several times now, and despite it not being a cattle prod she still pulls away from it if she expects to be punished while wearing her collar (like a good girl). You can also hold down the button while it is in contact with skin for a much more unpleasant burning kind of shock which is actually quite nasty - so options for those with devious minds.

Also keep in mind the sensitivity of the skin you shock will also effect the pain. I have not been evil enough to touch the electrodes anywhere too fragile (yet).

It is much larger than I expected. However, at 38cm in length it stretches from my elbow to the middle of my palm (I'm 5'11 and well built). With the choice of materials and the size it feels a little 'clunky' in my hands, and I tend to feel a bit silly holding it. But minor concerns, as for the price I am very happy.

As people have mentioned. There is no power switch except for the hold down button to charge the shock (hold longer for more charge), which means it is advisable to take out the batteries (or turn one around) to avoid this baby going off unexpectedly and possibly making you look rather silly in the process if it happens to touch your own skin.

Great fun, good price, material choice could have been better but still decent.
