First off, I love all things bondage and S&M: the thrill and excitement it brings to the bedroom are exhilarating. On the other hand, I don't like when I get something that falls short of my standards of what is acceptable, and this riding crop fell short. In appearance, it seems to be durable. It's a perfect length. Unfortunately to those upsides, there was a big flaw, it wasn't very durable.

This crop's supposed best uses are for the more dominant individuals. It's supposed to withstand even the roughest play. Oh yes, and I did utilize that to its fullest. I made sure welts were left in place from an ample amount of discipline for a naughty boy. AS well, this naughty boy returned the favor. But alas, this crop could not withstand such force.

It broke within one or two uses. It began to unravel the very first time. The design was simple. Soft plastic loop at one end and pink handle at the other. In between these two ends was a plastic-like braided cover over a hard plastic wand. The end easily came off on both sides and the braiding came undone at the end meant for use. It's apparently not meant for any hardcore play. I would only suggest this for the lighter side of domination: For those who like only a light spanking every now and again, for what I would consider love taps, not spankings. Even then, I say use it gently and I hope if you do decide to purchase this item, I wish you better luck than I had. I am now going to be in pursuit of a higher quality crop. I suggest leather for all things bondage from this point on. Bondage and S&M are not meant for plastic; apparently, beauty only gets you so far in the world of domination. Just because it's flowery and pink doesn't mean it can withstand what any Dominatrix plans to do with it.

This is still a huge disappointment. It never worked, and still doesn't. It's still broken and falling apart: such a let down. I need a better quality crop than this one.
