This is the first crop I purchased. I figured it was cute enough (I have a heart pattern sex toy collection going on), and cheap enough to check it out. I loved this little crop at first. The size of the crop is just right. It’s small enough to handle easily. My boyfriend had been previously spanking me with his bare hands and this was a nice change of pace and produced a different sensation. I like the light and crisp slapping noise it makes across my skin. It’s great for light play, especially on the chest, nipples, vulva and clit! Personally, I can’t handle too hard of a hit in those super-sensitive areas, so I do like this crop for that kind of play.

However, when used for spanking on the bum, it doesn't produce hard enough of a hit for me to truly enjoy it. When we tried, the handle began to tear off. We were disappointed, but my boyfriend did manage to fix it up. We began playing with it again a few days later and the tip of the crop where the heart-shaped cutout began to tear as well! I mean, it’s still (somewhat) usable, but who likes to play with broken or damaged toys? I suppose you get what you pay for, but it’s still disappointing. I am currently on the lookout for a better quality crop that can endure the type of play we want to use it for.

I don’t regret the purchase. It was cheap, it looks cute and it was a good introductory toy for us. Plus, it matches that heart pattern sex toy collection I have. But I do consider it more of a novelty, as it’s pretty much useless to me now and hangs in the back of my closet. But it sure does look cute hanging there!
