Narrow tip crop by Spartacus - review by Loriandhubby

Play out your fantasies in style and class with a tool that reflects your inner desires. Spartacus is well known for their quality leather BDSM gear and with the Narrow Tip Crop it is easy to see why. The sleek design is realistic and completely functional. No matter what your experience level this crop is sure to bring a touch of erotic pain to your play time. In the hands of a confidant dominate partner, the crop portrays power and authority. However, for sensual play the firm leather tip feels amazing teasing the tender bits. The power and bite truly lies in the hands of the wielder and in the desires of their pet.

So you've read the epic trilogy ’50 Shades of Gray’ and it it time to explore your own fantasies. Just a few questions first; how does a crop feel and what can I do with it? A crop can be used in many ways to give a variety of sensations.

During sensual play, use it to tease your lover by running down the inner thigh or across other erogenous zones. This combined with a blindfold or handcuffs is completely erotic. The leather is firm and solid on the skin and stirs anticipation of the unknown to come. Flicking the tip across the tender bits is also a wonderful way to get your submissive squirming.

When advancing in play, it is important to remember this rule of thumb with your tools. The smaller the surface of the piece, the more stingy the sensations it delivers. Therefore, the Narrow Tip Crop is rather stingy as it impacts your submissive. Also, with this crop it can have a rather mean bite when a moderate amount of force used behind it.

For kinky scenes and light BDSM play, it is perfect. At 36 inches in length it's great to use during suspension play or with a leash. It can be easily used for a variety of fantasies. For those who enjoy spanking of their tender bits, I can’t think of a better tool. The 1/4 inch tip is slender and just the right size to flick those hard to reach areas. Make your lover wet with pleasure as you leave nice red licks on their hot bottom. No matter how your submissive desires their pain, this crop is sure to leave them longing for more.

Those who delve into the darker desires of kink and fetish fun, this crop preforms like a champ. For training your new pet, its long length and powerful stature is perfect. When your submissive longs for intense pleasures, the firm leather tip is sure to leave them craving more. As far as impressions go, if you so desire, the leather can leave deep red stripes across the skin. Visually, this crop screams power and dominance. Just the sight of it will have them creaming in their pants and ready to do all that you long for.

With a quality of a piece such as this, you can truly choose your level of play and know that if you want to jump in a bit deeper you have the tool already.

Let’s talk construction. Spartacus delivers just what you crave, quality at an affordable price. As the name suggests, this crop has a thin piece of leather folded over to make the ¼ of an inch tip. This tip is securely attached to a firm 36 inch inner fiberglass rod. With a moderate amount of bounce back, it can pack a punch. The shaft is covered with slender tightly braided strips of leather. The handle is a bit thicker than the shaft and is also covered with braided leather. This allows the user to maintain their grip even with sweaty palms. Also for added security, the handle comes with a securely attached wrist strap. There is no need to worry about it holding up to strenuous play. The tip is attached with tightly woven line and is sure to hold for years to come. The leather is top quality and braided without flaws. In addition, the balance of the shaft is wonderful and it feels light in your hand.

Although crops seem basic and minimal, they take a bit of care to maintain for years to come. A little bit of prevention goes a long way with your leather gear. To help keep it free from dirt and dust that can dry out the leather, don’t toss it on the floor when you are finished playing. Also after playtime, make sure to dry your crop thoroughly in case any of those lovely juices were transferred to the leather while playing. Leather is prone to drying, cracking, and mildewing.

Therefore it is always best to store leather out of the sun and in a ventilated area free from moisture. Should you leather need to be cleaned or conditioned you can purchase your choice of leather care goods and follow the directions on the package. However, use caution with the amount of conditioner used because over oiled leather will have a stingier feeling than normal. Letting your crop’s tip bend or crimp during storage can harm the integrity of your toy. Therefore, it is always best to store your crops standing up in a vase, hanging, laying across a shelf or in a similar fashion. I keep all my crops lying across a bedroom shelf with no weight against the tip.

Experience:

I just love experimenting with impact play. Although I’m not into the rougher side, I truly enjoy feeling a nice hard bite. As soon as I saw the slender tip of this crop, I thought of the pleasure it would bring to my lady bits and ordered it without even looking at the length. When my anticipated box arrived, I was shocked at the length. Pulling it out of the box, my jaw dropped when I saw the whopping 36 inches of power in my hand. It was so long; yet I could not wait to feel its tongue licking inside my thighs.

After using it many times, I can say the experience is utterly amazing. We took it slow and experimented to find that fine line. After we found it, there were fireworks. Being bound, suspended, and completely helpless under this “viper” is one of the most erotic experiences we have found. It is completely versatile and easy to incorporate into many of the scenes we play out. For us the only down fall is the length. We have to be very conscious of the furniture in our room to ensure something doesn’t get broken.

I don’t like red stripes across my skin, but I love the feeling of being beaten. With this crop Hubby is able to give me just what I crave without marking my skin and leaving that impression. However for those who like nice read licks on your lover’s skin, this crop sure can deliver.

The sound and stature of this tool is exactly what kinky play needs. With a moderate crack and a demanding stature, everyone will know their places. When you look at this crop in the hands of a dominant, it commands attention. Hubby loves the feeling of me directing him around with our “viper stick”, as he playfully calls it. When used with the collar and leash, my pet does exactly what I want him to.

Over all, I believe that this is the perfect toy for couples who desire to explore their kinky side but are past the tender taps. If you know you like the feeling of a crop, than this is the ideal crop to add to your tool chest. No matter what your level of kink, this crop is sure to preform like a champ and last for years to come.

This is a wonderful crop that holds up great. Unfortunately, we has to retire ours. Hubby has a difficult time standing for long periods of time and the long shaft is best yielded from a standing position. It breaks my heart because I love the sensations it produces.
