My husband and I have just recently started with some light BDSM. We had previously bought a crop from Spencer's for about $10. We looked into purchasing a new one because the stitching on the 'leather' came undone and the handle cracked in half. We had only had it for a few months, and we only used it a couple of times each month. We were not overly rough with it, I am just starting to try to push his pain threshold. Needless to say, I do not want to have to buy a new one every couple of months, so we needed something that wouldn't fall apart. This seemed like that product

This one caught my eye obviously because of the way it looks. The design on the handle is pretty and the handle is quite functional for vaginal or anal play while in use. We have not tried that yet, but we plan to. We used this for some spankings, but I also used it to slap his chest and it left his skin nice and pink. I used the stem of the crop to choke him when I was on top, which was very effective. I also used it on his face and hands. It got the appropriate pain response, but it did not hurt too badly. If you're looking to cause a lot of pain, than I don't think this is the crop for you.

From other reviews, it seemed pretty sturdy, which was our biggest concern. I want to be able to punish without it breaking during use. The handle is nice, smooth, and sleek. The stem of the crop is flexible and covered in a mesh material. The leather tip is nice for stroking and slapping.

Basically, we were in the market for a sturdy, not overly expensive crop, which exactly what this is. The beauty of the product is an added plus for me. I love the fairies, as it makes a naughty toy a little more playful. If I didn't think the kids would play with it, I would hang it on the wall.

We used this for some light punishment. Good for smacking hands when he isn't allowed to touch, but isn't tied down.
