I love this tickler. First off all the colors are beautiful, I got burgundy. The dye saturated the feathers really nicely. The feather itself has a slight curve in it and that allowed it to wrap around arms, legs, stomach, neck, back, breasts... you get the idea. I'm not sure if this is a real feather or a synthetic fiber made to look like a feather. It comes with 2 large feathers, one shorter than the other. It comes to a point with the longer feather in the front. It is a little hard to use the tip though. I liked that the feather wasn't so soft that you couldn't feel it, I've had that problem with other types of feathers. My boyfriend blindfolded me and used this for sensory play and it felt amazing and it was definitely a turn on. I have never tried this kind of foreplay before but I liked it.

The handle is plastic and I'm sure that it would be easy to clean but the feather might be next to impossible to clean if you got lube or massage oil on it. If you are too rough with the feathers on this tickler they may start to fray and fall apart. This toy is cheap enough that you could buy another one if it gets ruined but be careful not to get anything on it - why waste your money! The handle is quite heavy and the ostrich feather is pretty securely in place. This tickler is fairly well made for an 8 dollar toy.

This tickler is very hard to store because it's so long and awkward. The feather is about a foot long and the handle is about a foot and a half. So you can imagine that there really isn't many places to hide this toy. I just put it in my closet so no one can see it, and so that my cat won't drag it all over the house and destroy it.
