The Sex and Mischef feather spanker is a great option for those who want variety and love efficiency. Why have a separate tickler and spanker if you can have two in one? There's a cost-benefit thing going on with this set up, but if it's worth it to you, it can make a great purchase.

And don't let that hand fool you! It may look small and cute, but it can deliver quite a loud and strong whack. This dual purpose item can work for beginners and even some intermediate users since it can deliver a variety of sensations. Advanced users might pick this one up as a warm up or to have something different in their collection. However, if you're looking to deliver really heavy blows you might want to get something that is more hardy and able to take the abuse.

The Feather Spanker has two ends. One end has feathers. This end can be used for tickling and teasing. The feathers are black but if you look in the light that have a bit of a green sheen to them. The feathers are most likely synthetic. There is also some black, soft fluff mixed in with the feathers. The feathers are soft and pleasing to touch. They can definitely give a tickle. The Feathers are held together and fastened to the rod fairly well. Sometimes you'll see a hint of fuzz leaving the feathers, but this is small and not a hinderance.

The Feather Spanker is about 23 inches long. It gives a good range for use. The rod is made of plastic, which may feel cheap to some. It can handle force and bend to an extent. It is thin and light, so it is easier to move in an arc and use.



The other end is the spanker. It is shaped like a hand. It is done in a faux leather. It has a slight leather-like smell, but it is not offensive and can only be smelled if held close to your nose. The hand is designed like a cartoon/caricature hand. It does look cute, but it sure can sting. The stitching on the hand is nice. There are no loose threads or signs of shoddy craftsmanship.



The hand shape might not appeal to everyone, but it is an alternative if some users are nervous about toys with more traditional falls. The Feather Spanker will last so long as you're not too rough with it and don't get anything on the feathers.

The feather end delivers wonderful sensations. It can indeed tickle, especially if you move the tickler behind the knee and down the small of the back. They are soft and will please even sensitive skin. The feathers will hold up as long as they never get oils or lubricant on them. If a sensual massage is part of the evening's plans, it's best to play with your feathers before the oil or after a shower when you're dry.

The hand spanker exceeded expectations. It can create a variety of sensations. If used lightly, it can sting for a moment or two. If you add some power to your swing it can make you yelp. This one can also leave red marks in the shape of a handprint. Either way, no matter your usage, it is always best to communicate with your partner on how you wish to proceed with such toys. Then they can provide the right amount of stimulation you desire.

Care for the Feather Spanker is easy. Keep oils and fluids away from the feathers and they'll stay good as new. You can wipe down the hand with a damp cloth if you need to. The toy doesn't have a loop handle, so storage leaves you some options. You can place the toy in a lightly filled drawer, but you can still damage or bend the feathers if you're not careful.

My preferred method of storing whips and the like (that don't have loops) is by hanging them horizontally over a few coat hooks. If you don't have this set up, you can buy disposable/replaceable hooks that safely adhere to walls and doors. Then you can throw coats on the hooks to keep the spanker from being visible.

There was no real packaging to the spanker. It had a small, cardboard label that allowed it to be hung up in a store. It comes off easily enough. Since there is no packaging, it's best to open your shipping box away from wandering eyes.

My partner and I have a couple of whips, ticklers and crops. At this point, this one is our favorites. We do like that it has dual ends that serve different purposes. It also is a bit different from traditional falls, which is refreshing for us. I like how we can switch from being playful and teasing to being a bit... unforgiving.

My partner and I have a number system when communicating during play with whips and crops. We will say, on a scale from 1 to 10, how much intensity we want. 1 is a "yawn, tap" to 10 being "oh my god! I can't take it anymore!" We'll give our number ir range and let the other one start. Sometimes, if we haven't used whips/crops in a while, we have to "recalibrate," and remember how much force we need for the desired outcome. We will give feedback on what number a certain whack was so the other gets back into the groove of things.

Overall, this is a great, fun toy for people who want to have some flexible fun with ticklers and crops.
