You want a toy that will tantalize your partner with an insistently strong vibration that can also punish them with a sharp snap?  You're in the right place.

Seeking something that will deliver a wicked welt when you're in the mood but still be pretty and vanilla enough for a first time masochist? Look no further.

This baby (Vibrafun dressage whip|Vibrafun dressage whip) has the potential to be way more painful than your average riding crop but, if used with restraint and gentleness, is an entirely manageable toy for couples whose kinkiness level is just vanilla with sprinkles.

Having used the Vibrawhip Crop|Vibrawhip crop from the same company previously, I knew the dressage whip would be solidly constructed, brilliantly designed and a general asset to a sex toy collection. I was not prepared, however, for the incredibly sharp and painful impact of the tiny bit of thin cord at the end of the long shaft. It doesn't look like much, but on bare flesh the few inches of braided cotton is more than adequate for the discipline and punishment of the naughtiest subs. Expect tiny cuts instead of the big bruises normally acquired through spankings if used on bare skin.

The level and variety of vibrations, which can strongly be felt throughout the entire length of the whip, was also a pleasant surprise. I wouldn't imagine that the vibration alone would reliably bring most people to orgasm but it will get them a good portion of the way there. It's a fantastic appetizer for later stimulation if nothing else.

The battery compartment was easier to open on this than many toys I've encountered and with only 2 AA batteries, it was ready for action. Even without power though, this makes for a perfectly enjoyable toy and odds are, it'll be good in a pinch if your jockey forgets his regular equipment.
