Crops are a great choice for those who enjoy a sensual spanking but are nervous about trying a flogger. Since this crop is not intimidating, there is no need to worry about appearing harsh or overly dominate.
With a crop the sensations can range from a delicate tap to a firm hard smack that can leave bruises to remind you of your fun the next day.

Crops are even great for warming up through teasing. Bind your lover and run the leather heart across your lover’s hot skin and watch them squirm with excitement. Warming up your partner to impact play is often exciting. There is no need to hurry when playing with a crop. Many people report that teasing and anticipation gets them worked up and ready for more.

This crop truly lets you be in control of your play time and only delivers as much pleasure or pain as you desire.

This crop is designed fairly simple. It consists of a fiberglass rod for the shaft, a woven leather handle with a wrist strap, and a small leather flap on the tip. The fiber glass rod is flexible as has some give. For ascetics it is covered with a woven nylon sock rather than the typical leather. The nylon is pink with a black strip spiraling down the shaft. The handle is made from leather strips woven around the shaft. This handle is well made and sturdy. The wrist strap is attached to the front of the handle and rests slipped over the end of the handle when not in use.

The flap is attached with black thread tightly wrapped around the shaft holding the flap securely in place. The flap is heart shaped and is two layers of leather. One layer is suede and the other is finished leather with hearts stamped out of it. The layers are cute and allow the black hearts show up great against the pink leather. Although, the hearts stamped out is very sexy, I don’t find that the hearts leave an impression in your skin.

The feel of the crop in the yielders hand is nice. However, the handle is not balance. Therefore, the center of balance for this crop is approximately 3 inches above the handle. It is short and easy to control, making it great for up-close and personal impact play.

Here’s the Facts:

The heart flap is made from 100% genuine Leather. It is 2 ½ inches long, 2 ½ inches wide, and 1/16 if an inch thick. The thread holding the flap to the shaft extends 2 inches down the shaft.

It is 24 ½ inches long in total length. The shaft is 14 inches long. The handle is 7 inches long and 2 ¼ inches circumference.

Care:

To ensure your crop has a long life it is best to store it in such a way that the flap does not bend. To store a crop it can be laid across a shelf of hung by its leather wrist strap.

Leather cannot be sterilized. For this reason, you should cover all broken skin of your submissive prior to your playtime. Also, if your crop comes into contact with body fluids the crop should not be used on another partner.

Should your crop need cleaning, it can be wiped down with a damp cloth and then thoroughly dried. A cotton swab can be used to get down into the cracks and crevices of the hearts.


A few words of Safety

If you're unfamiliar with a crop, the butt is the safest place to start. When using a crop make sure that the flap strikes flat against your partner's skin. Also, crops do not require very much force to create a strong sensation. Start slowly and warm your partner up carefully. It is always best to start off light until you and your partner are familiar with the crop and your partner's limits. Pay attention to how your partner is responding; only they know the true line between pleasure and pain. Another thing to remember is that striking the same spot over and over will quickly increase the sensation.

I enjoy impact play. Spanking and such, is erotic and fun for me. However, I do not like pain or bruises. Unfortunately, when looking for toys it is hard to figure out if they are painful or have a strong bite when you use them.

I really enjoy my flogger and paddle by Ruff Doggie Styles, so in spite of the other negative reviews of this crop; I decided to give it a try.

Oh my gosh, I’m so glad I did. The other reviews which address concerns with quality is not the case with mine. The crop I received is well made and very sturdy. All in all, it has held up very well to intense play times and shows no sign of wear or tare on the flap or the joint.

This crop is the perfect length for Hubby to up and close and personal on me. He can spank my inner thighs and breast with ease. Also, Hubby tells me it feels very comfortable and does not feel awkward in his hands.

Using this crop is not intimidating; rather, it has a cute and flirty look. Although the crop is pink with a heart tip, it does not appear overly famine. I really appreciate this since Hubby does not feel girly using it on me. In fact, he refers to this crop as his little cupid’s arrow.

The bite of this crop really depends on how it is used. It gives a stingy type of feeling when flicked or swatted on my skin. On the other hand when Hubby uses it to tap or pat between my legs it feels firm and solid. Although I have never received a bruise from this crop, I am sure that it will leave nice marks on your body if it is used in an extremely rough manner.

Another great aspect of this crop is that it is not loud and cannot be heard over the radio through our bedroom door. I am relieved to know that when we use this crop I don’t have to worry about Daddy hearing us through the door.

Over all, I really like this crop and I could not be happier with it. It is fun to use and gives a variety of sensations. This makes it perfect for those who enjoy experimenting. Not to mention, it is well made and sturdy enough to hold up to heavy playtimes. What more could you ask for in a toy? I 100% suggest this crop to anyone who is looking for a nice impact play tool.

Cute and completely functional, this crop is a great buy. Although we don’t use it for a lot of our playtime's, it is a fun choice for impact play. It has held up to a few moderate sessions and the tip is still intact. However, the crispness it one possessed is gone and the heart is a bit floppy on the end.
Never the less, this crop remains strong and firm when used. Judging from the wear and tear thus far, I expect it to last a long time in our tool box.
