The LELO Tantra Feather Teaser Tickler is a small little tickler intended for easy use of sensually tickling your partner. The total length of the feather (or at least mine) is six inches long even though EF's measurement says seven and a half. It's just not that big. The feather itself is just made up from regular feathers while the little handle seems to be made from metal. To be honest, I'm not sure how the feathers are attached to the handle, but none of them have fallen out on me yet, so I just have to assume that they are firmly attached.

The Tantra Feather comes in the same packaging as all of the other LELO sex toy products. It comes in a cardboard box that shows the product sensually as well as a list of features. Inside that cardboard box is a nice, high-quality black box in where the lid lifts off to show some high-quality white paper in which the Teaser is sensually wrapped. A small little LELO tag is affixed to the handle of the tickler, but aside from that, nothing else is in the box. The little black box is completely discreet and can be used for storage. I do have voice my complaint about this box though - the feather is too big for the box. If you want to store the feather in here, the feather either has to get bent or it gets caught when the lid comes back on and could possibly break.

One of the things I really love about this Teaser is that it also has a matching flogger. It doesn't come with it, but the flogger comes in these exact same colors with the exact same design, and I'm one of those people that absolutely loves to owning a matching set. With LELO marketing this how they did, I can own a cute matching set which makes me very happy.

I really love the design that LELO decided to go with for the Flogger and Feather set. The colors are very luscious. When it comes to the feather, you have the choice of red, purple, or black for your toy. The handle also has about an inch of metal, then an inch of your color in plastic. This part, while it's hard to tell on EF's pictures, is see-through, and as long as light is shining through it, you can see through it to the other side. It also includes the "LELO" logo lightly imprinted onto the surface of the plastic part. From there, there's a tiny metal ball at the end of the feather that helps provide a nice surface to grip while using the feather.

The biggest complaint I have about the flogger (aside from attempting to store it in the box it came in) is how my feathers ended up. I'm not sure if this is how all of the ticklers are made or just mine, but one side of my feathers is actually longer than the other. By about an inch. It's a slight annoyance, but when you look at the feather, there's an inch worth of feathers just sticking out on one side of the tickler. It doesn't look nearly as pretty as if this had not have happened. As it stands, those are also usually the feathers that end up getting caught in the box when I close it, so again, I'm not sure if it's a defect of the product or just how the ticklers come. I just wish it wouldn't have happened.

So how well does this work? It definitely tickles, but I'd have a hard time claiming that it feels any different than any other feathers that I've used. (I should know. I've nearly reviewed all of the ticklers on EF.) The feathers themselves just end up feeling the same as any other feathers we've used while tickling. The only difference with this tickler is the presentation - with other ticklers we've used, the feathers are attached to a plastic rod. With this, it's attached to a gorgeous tiny metal handle which makes it look a lot more romantic and pleasurable. So basically, don't expect a higher-quality feather, but it definitely ends up looking a lot more gorgeous than other ticklers. (The side feathers - the fluffy-looking feathers - are soft just like most side feathers, but again, they don't really feel all that different from most regular feathers.)

It does end up tickling though. Mine doesn't have quite the effect that I want it to have because of the one-side being a lot longer, but it still does tickle just fine. In fact, I'd say that this one actually feels a bit more tickly. Why? I have no idea. I think it might be because of the easier control of the feather. With most ticklers, they come on long plastic rods that makes it about two feet away to use them. With this tickler, you are within inches of your partner's skin, and it gives you a whole lot more control to barely drag this along your partner's skin or to give it a full press into their skin. That kind of control is a lot harder to manage with a two-foot long rod between you and the feather.

The product description mentions holding this in your mouth for use. I suppose this is possible, but I'd recommend against it. For one, that's metal. In your mouth. Never a good idea. For two, half of the fun of a tickler is that you can control the precision, the angle, and the strength that you use it with. With your mouth, you lose a lot of the precision and angle abilities. Using it with your hand is going to produce a lot better results. I also recommend using it with a blindfold on your partner. Blindfolds increase the suspense and make it much more potent.

I recommend keeping the Feather Teaser away from bodily fluids - they won't come out and you'll ruin your feather. I recommend keeping it away from lubricant as well. There's really no way to successfully clean this, so just try to keep it clean in the first place. For storage, you should keep this in the original box or somewhere else where it won't get harmed.

Overall, the Tantra Feather Teaser is a nice addition to my feather collection. While it's too short to stick in my feather vase with the rest, it's a fun addition because it gives me the ability to control my precision like other feathers can't - plus it looks gorgeous. I just only wish I didn't have the problem with the uneven feathers.

Sadly, the longer I've kept the teaser in the box, the worse the feathers seem to become. It's really sad, so now I've started keeping the teaser out of the box which defeats the point of having packaged the teaser in the said box. A couple of the feathers have fallen off, but it's nothing horrible; it still looks like a teaser. Due to the short length and our available to other, not-crooked teasers, though, this little teaser doesn't get nearly as much use as it used to.
