This is a crop that will leave you red with hearts (if used on the one side). It is not for the faint of heart, nor is it for anyone who doesn't enjoy pain. This crop can be used in three different ways. One, it can be used the way it was meant to, spanking someone with the heart-shaped, top piece. Second, it can be used to really hurt (in a good way, if you are kinky enough) by whipping with the long, stiff, pink shaft. Third, the heart crop can be used to tickle your partner by lightly running it up and down their body.

The heart crop is best used by more advanced users, but it can be for the curious beginner who knows they enjoy spanking and pain.

The heart crop has multiple fabrics and materials that compose its design. The base of the crop is made up of criss-crossed leather strands with a stiff, hard interior for great support. There is also a leather strap hanging down from where the handle meets the shaft. The shaft of the crop is made of a woven nylon around a semi-stiff-to-stiff inner core. The shaft is fifteen inches long and extends to the heart crop top. The heart part is about 2x2 inches and has a pink, felt top layer with heart cutouts and a black, leather layer underneath. The heart is 2 millimeters thick. The problem with the design of the crop is the jointing of the shaft to the heart crop. It is slightly flimsy and seems like it may break after extensive use.

The heart crop works the way it is designed to. I was suprised to find that it could be used to tickle, then unexpectedly snap with a stinging wince. It was pleasantly painful and gave me immense pleasure. This crop's performance makes me want to experiment with other whips, crops, and floggers.

The best way to care for this crop is to keep it in a cool, dry place...usually well away from where others can find it. This second part is important because it isn't that easy to store. Typically, my girlfriend and I store our toys in a duffle bag for easy movement; the problem with this crop is that it is 2' long. This makes it tough to store in a small bag without damaging the crop end. The nylon shaft of the crop can be wiped with a damp, neutral odor disinfectant, however, the crop end is a type of leather, so I suggest not getting it overly wet. Therein comes the challenge of cleaning the end. I have not become overly sweaty or dirty enough while using it to warrant a thorough cleaning.

This crop was minimally packaged with a plastic sleeve. There were no instructions included. If instructions are needed, then here they are...First hold the interlaced leather handle, next smack in a spanking motion on a willing partner or self.

The heart crop is a great way to get you horny (if pain is your thing) and jump start your engine for other sexual pleasures. I highly recommend giving it a try if you are the least bit intrigued. It is cheaply priced and can give you enough pleasure to be well worth it. Even if you don't enjoy the toy, then you can make a mental note, and not get flogging toys again. Your pocket will take a minimal hit, and you can learn about a new sexual experience that you may or may not enjoy.
