As with all Lelo products, this is a high quality feather teaser. The feathers are secured to the handle very well and you do not have to worry about them falling out. Great color. The handle is well made and easy to grip for those with smaller hands. Packaging is excellent. Unfortunately, the packaging is a bit small so it does not make ideal storage. I bought it mainly because it matches the sensua whip but I am glad I did.
The Tantra Feather Teaser by Lelo is a very fancy and well made feather tickler. It matches the Sensua Suede Whip. It is a bit pricy for a tiny feather teaser but it is of very good quality and should last a long time if well cared for. I am a bit obsessive about getting matching things so after purchasing the whip, I had to have this. I was not at all disappointed by my purchase. This is a great teaser.
The feathers are very high quality as well as the handle. This is a great addition to sensory playtime. It can be used anywhere on the body, but you need to be careful not to get fluids on the feathers as they are not easy to clean.
You will also want to keep this stored away as sunlight, bugs and pets can destroy this delicate toy. Cats are especially drawn to any feather toys. Being as this is not a low end item it is not suitable for a cat toy. It is most suitable for a people toy.
The design is great. The feathers are connected to a short handle. The handle has a large silver band. Under the band the feathers are connected to the piece. Then there is a translucent purple acrlyic and a silver ball at the end for easier gripping.
The feathers are a vibrant purple. They are much more vibrant than in the stock photos. The feathers are bent at the ends do to being in the small storage box.
With feathers the piece measures approximately 7.25" The handle is 2.25" long and .20" across. The ball at the end is about a quarter of an inch. Although small, because you only grip it with your fingers, any size hand will be able to use this.
Great little teaser. Although a bit more expensive than competitors, this is worth the extra cost. The feathers are full and well connected to the handle. My honey really likes sensory play so this is a good addition to the toy box. It is a lot of fun to restrain him and tickle him with the feathers. When I am on the receiving end, I enjoy the different lengths of the feathers. You can run it across the skin lightly with just the longest feathers touching the skin or you can use it at a slight angle so all of the feathers run across the skin providing a different sensation.
Feather toys are not something easy to clean. Do not get lube, body fluids, massage oil or other liquids on the feathers. Feathers do not stand up to cleaning very well and can be destroyed by liquids.
You will also want to keep this stored away as sunlight, bugs and pets can destroy this delicate toy. Keep this toy in a solid box. If the box it came in was not so small, it would be ideal for storage. If you do not mind your feathers being bent then you can use the original box for storage.
Cats are especially drawn to any feather toys. Being as this is relatively expensive for a feather teaser, it is a pretty pricy cat toy. It is most suitable as a people toy. It is also not well suited for a cat toy because of the short handle. When I had a cat she liked to swipe at the toys and if your hand was too close you got scratched.
I would suggest shaking it out before putting it in storage to get rid of any dust or dander that accumulated during play time.
Lelo has some of the best packaging out there. It comes in a nice light cardboard box that has a picture of the product and Lelo on it. The outer packaging is not discreet because it has a picture of the product on it. However, since it looks like a tiny feather duster, you might be able to play it off that way. Once you remove the outer box, there is a great quality inner box. The box is black with LELO in black on it. Unless someone is familiar with Lelo then they will not know what is inside. If they know what Lelo sells then they have no business judging you.
As has been pointed out by other reviewers the box is a bit small for the feathers and they get a bit bent.
There is no storage pouch. Otherwise the packaging is top notch.
Packaging is wonderful for gift giving. It is very classy and what you expect from Lelo. The packaging displays the same high quality as the tickler.
This came with no instructions or paperwork of any kind. I did not find the lack of instructions was a problem as it is not hard to figure out how to use this.
We used this as a couples toy but it can be used solo as well. You could run this across your body using one hand while using the other hand to hold your toy.
We love sensory play. This is a high quality feather toy. It is made with real feathers so would not be Vegan friendly. I did not find anywhere where it said what kind of feathers were used. As with all feather toys, you will want to keep away from bodily fluids. Therefore you would not want to use on your female partner's lady treasures. We did successfully use these on his manly treasures, just keeping it away from the tip during play. He very much enjoyed when I used it to tickle his penis and balls. The especially liked when I tickled the underside of his balls. If you want to try this, I suggest getting your man on a wedge or having some pillows under his bottom. This gives you better access once you spread his legs.
It was a wonderful feeling to have this run across my body. Although the handle is small, my husband did not have trouble using it with his larger hands.I especially liked having my nipples tickled with the tips of the long feathers. This can be done during foreplay as well as during sex if your lady is on top or in a cowgirl position. I am not ticklish but very much enjoyed the feeling. My man is very ticklish in some places so it could be used for some pleasurable torture when he is restrained.
The feathers are firm but the tips are pliable. This can be used for a very light tickle by just brushing the edges of the long feathers against the skin. It can be used for a firmer feel by tilting it at a 45 degree angle and rubbing the side against your partner's skin.
This tickler is at the high end of the price point. As such, I would not use it for dusting body powder or shelves or as a cat toy. It is suitable for these uses but a bit small for a feather duster. The feathers are secured well. I do not see a way to replace the feathers if they fall out or get damaged. I keep this toy in a box when not in use as feathers can be easily damaged or deteriorate. Feathers are delicate so I do not just throw it in the toy box.
This is a 10 as far as sensory play is concerned. The fact that it is well put together, has a short handle and varying feather lengths gives this a special place in the sensory toy box.
Follow-up commentaryI still like it7 months after original review
Excellent quality sensory toy. All parts are well secured and will last for years with proper care. Of course you must keep the feathers away from oils, water and bodily fluids.
I like the shorter handle as I enjoy being closer during playtime. I would definitely purchase again.
