This riding crop can be used to slap, spank and punish your partner as well as have the practical application of equestrian sports as this was originally made to do. This can deliver a hard slaps to gentle swats and is light enough to control with relative ease. This is great for any sadists and masochists, beginners and the more experienced alike.

This crop has a nice rubber grip and a removable faux-leather tongue. When put together, the length is 22", which is pretty standard. This product also has a very stylish stitching on the tongue, and resembles an actual riding crop to a large extent, which does allow you to keep it out in the open easier.

I was first worried that a few good swings would send the top flying, but I was happily surprised that the top stays in place very well. The handle isn't very flexible but it is made of metal so it wouldn't snap quite easily. Because of that same design though, it's not very flexible.

Overall, this product was very well made and will last a long time.

It looks intimidating, but it isn't really. Even with a lot of force, this won't make any serious lashes. It can however leave some nice red marks. The leather is very smooth with no rough edges, but if you accidentally turn it before it makes contact with skin, depending on how hard you strike it, it could leave a bruise and it's not too pleasant.

This product is absolutely amazing.

After receiving my product, I was very excited and proceeded to pry open the box. Much to my dismay, the process wasn't as simple as I thought it would be; the crop was housed in a smaller box-like cardboard piece and took a bit of effort to remove. The other inconvenience I had was cutting the zip ties holding the crop in place.

Although I was a little disappointed that I couldn't easily open up the package and take my crop out, I did feel that because it was packaged in such a way, this product would definitely arrive safely in the mail.

I would have also preferred more discreet packaging as this is a riding crop and can easily pass for ones used in horse training, I would expect the packaging to reflect that as well.
