I enjoyed that it had a short handle and not one that was too long. The toy had many feathers on it. I used it to tickle my husband and then he used it on me. When it came to me, it didn't work that much. I am not as ticklish as others unless I am in a mood to be tickled. There was nothing wrong with it but I didn't enjoy it. I tried it a few times, but there was no way it made me tickle.

One thing I did like with it was that the handle can be used as a crop too. It was two toys in one. That is one reason I enjoy the way the handle was not so long. The only thing I disliked about it is that some of the feathers on the outside were not too strong and they tend to come loose very easy. It seem that every time we used it, we would loose some feathers.

There is no cleaning of this other than to shake the feathers. I took a damp cloth and wiped it down from top to bottom and it was all it needed. There was no more clean up other than that.

This would be ok to have in your kit as long as you are really ticklish. I tend to be sometimes, but this just didn't bring on any ticklish. I know when I used it on my husband he loved it so much it made him jump and squirm. I really enjoy having it and used on him.

The only thing I wish is that the feathers were a little bit more set in the item than what it is. Like I said before, because of where we have to store things (out of kids eyes) the feathers were not very tight. The place I hid it was in a drawer. But it didn't seem to take long for it to break down with the feathers. I really don't think it is the way it was stored but with something like this you can't be so sure.
