This crop is great for beginners who want to spice up their BDSM life. Compared to leather, and rubber/latex crops, this one is definitely designed not to treat the everyday masochist. The feathery part can be lightly brushed over the skin and give you the most rewarding goosebumps and a light smack with the crop can tickle you in all the right ways. You will love the sound of the crop when it smacks down, and if controlled properly, you'll get all the feel without the marks (unless you want marks, like me).

This crop is extremely light and most likely wont give you the sensations of a Wartenberg wheel, which stimulates intense tickling sensations as well as prickly pain.

If you are training to become a Dominant in the sadist category, then this is a great tool for you before you start getting into heavy wooden paddles and yummy rubber floggers!

This is a teasing toy, in my opinion, it's merely an appetizer.

Directions on how to clean the feathered end is difficult as they are very difficult to clean (so avoid lubes and massage oils). As for the plastic stem and crop, if it comes in contact with body fluids, rinse and wipe down with warm water (a tiny bit of soap).

Plastic has a more thudded feeling which can be described as less painful when wielded lightly.

Strangely, I have always found these toys more fun when used by the hand of a Domme (woman).

I would suggest trying some pony play just for the hell of it! I like to be tied down to a bed when sensory toys come to play, I also like not having control of how my partners use them. This toy really is fun and definitely a great choice for gift bags for parties.
