Once upon a time, some genius figured out that the riding crops used to tame horses into submission could also be used in a similar fashion on humans. Riding crops are used primarily for impact play. This crop differs from many in that it gives the master the option of playing either nice or naughty, or both. By flicking the wrist, or swinging the arm, one can impact a mighty blow upon their partner. The length of the crop magnifies the impact. The crop will woosh through the air and the sting resulting from the crop contacting skin will vary depending on the motion of the arm. This crop has the potential to deliver quite a sting.

On the opposite side a nice poof of feathers can be used to tease the partner’s skin. This can be delightfully effective if your partner is especially ticklish. This end can also make a great cat toy if left in a place accessible by Snowball.

This crop is all black, save for the sexy crimson in the red and black feather bunch. The length of the crop is made of rather bendy plastic. The crop end of the slapper is made of faux leather folded over on itself to form a loop. It is attached to the rod by a rubbery piece that allows for slightly more bend upon impact. The whole thing is about 23 inches long

The feathers appear to be glued into the other end, which is made of the same rubbery plastic used to hold the crop. There are a good bunch of feathers (about 20 in mine) about 3 or 4 inches long.

The materials used for this crop are all rather light. It shakes quite a bit in my hand when I bring it down fast. The flimsiness of this crop may mean it will be short lived. All in all I would say this crop is excellent for its price.

This crop gives a good stinging sensation, and when used right, can leave behind pretty good welts. The feathers provide a wonderful tickling sensation which can drive your partner wild. When they get too wild, simply punish them at whichever level of intensity you two are comfortable with. And trust me, this crop can pack a powerful punch.

You can wash the crop after use, just avoid the feather bunch. If the feathers get wet, just shake them out and allow them to air dry. It may be somewhat of a hassle to store, since it is an awkward length. I keep mine feather side up in a vase. It could also be kept in a drawer, or large chest.

The feather slapper came attached to a cardboard page which bears the name of the company on the front, the name of the product, and a woman wearing lingerie holding the slapper. There is a short story about two lovers using the toy on the back (like I've seen on many S&M products), as well as another picture of the same woman with the feather slapper.

I had my boyfriend cuffed by both arms, ass-up, to my bed. I sauntered around him, while holding the feather slapper in my hands. Occasionally I would tickle him on the neck, or on the sides. This worked excellent, since he is extremely ticklish. I had him writhing and squirming, and there was nothing he could do. If he moved around too much, or made too much noise, I simply flipped the crop over and slapped him on the ass. This usually left a nice pinkish welt which faded eventually, and also kept him from moving too much. This toy is fantastic.
