Fluffer tickler - tickler discontinued by Sportsheets - review by PropertyOfPotter

Fluffer Tickler from Sportsheets, is long-handled feather tickler which makes a great addition to foreplay and sensory play. It's lightweight, non-intimidating, and very simple to use. Though this is a very beginner friendly toy, even the most experienced user could find pleasure in adding this tickler to their collection!

This tickler works best when used with a partner for light play, since the experience isn't so exciting if you try using it on yourself. Simply glide the feathers over the most sensitive parts of your partner's body; this sensation can cause a tickling feeling, but can also help your partner to relax depending on where you're using it, and how ticklish they are.

As well as using it for a sensory toy, this tickler could easily be paired with a costume to really bring your role playing to life. It doesn't look exactly like a feather duster, but when you're already looking like hott stuff, does it really matter?

If you decide that you don't care for the tickler yourself or find that you don't use it often, it could easily double as a kitty toy (no, not for THAT kitty!), and could easily pass as one if you don't read the company name on the handle. So really, it's a win/win toy, no matter how you look at it!

This feather tickler has a nice, long handle that is especially helpful when your partner is blindfolded and you don't want them to know where you're going to touch them next. It's long enough to reach my partner as he's laying on the bed, while I stand next to it; I love that about this toy! At the bottom of the hard plastic handle, is a grip that's slightly larger than the rest of the plastic. It has the company name 'Sportsheets' on it. The name can be lightly felt with your finger since it sticks out a little bit.


The plastic pieces of the toy are all black, and do have a small amount of shine to them. The smooth plastic doesn't become slippery when holding, even with lotion or lubricant on your hands, which is a huge plus! The handle will bend slightly, but I wouldn't try to bend it too far since it could result in a broken handle.

At the top of the plastic handle, is the area that holds the feathers in to the toy. It's a little bit wider, and has a little more give to it than the rest of the handle because of it's shape.


The business end of this tickler is made from two different colored feathers. The core color on mine is red, but it also comes in pink and black, and the wispy feathers that accent are white no matter which color you choose. The feathers are twisted, looped, and secured to the handle by both ends, which results in a small 'hole' in the center of your feathers. It's not obvious just by looking at it, but you can clearly stick your fingers through it.


The white feathers can be felt on their own first, since they're longer than the core feathers. They produce a very light, tickling sensation on their own. The core feathers are bushier than the lanky white ones, and give a more direct, slightly firmer tickle, depending on how light or firm you press.




The feathers are very soft, none of them feel pokey or uncomfortable. The loop easily bends while gliding it over your partner's body and makes for a very pleasant experience! On top of being soft, this tickler is also very lightweight, and has no smell to it.

Though this tickler won't last forever, it is made pretty well. No feathers have fallen out and even with some tugging at the end, nothing felt like it was coming loose or would any time soon. I think as long as this gets used for it's intended use, it will last a very long time, even for being such an inexpensive toy.

Since the feathers aren't all the same length, measurements are approximate.

Full Length (with feathers): 21"
Handle Length: 15 1/8"
Handle Width: 1/4"
Handle Grip: 3 5/8"
Feather Length: approx 6"
Feather Width: approx 8"

This inexpensive tickler is a wonderful addition to our collection! It's soft feathers created the sensory experience I was hoping to give my partner. He doesn't care for heavy play, so tickling and teasing with this was perfect for him!

I enjoy having my partner on the bed while I stand next to him, so he's totally unable to predict my movements. The length of the handle made that not only possible, but very simple to execute. All he could do was wait with anticipation to see where my fluffer was going to tickle next!

For an inexpensive toy, this totally met my expectation! Though I don't see an alternative use for this item in our house, it will get used often for it's designed purpose!

Since the handle of this toy is made from plastic, you can very carefully clean it with toy wipes, or a wash cloth, but is only necessary if something has gotten on it.

You want to use caution that no lubricants, lotions, oils, or bodily fluids get on the feathers, since this could ruin your tickler. Should something get on it, you could try to carefully clean the area with a small amount of water and dish soap, but it might not come clean even with that.

The size of this tickler makes it a little difficult to store. It fits easily in a dresser drawer, a long tote, or on a closet shelf if you need for this to be hidden, but it's hard to hide in smaller areas. This toy is unassuming if you have a cat in your house, since it does resemble a cat toy, but if your cat goes into your bedroom, it might turn into it's toy anyway!

This tickler comes with only a small cardboard tag attached to it with small plastic pieces that are the same kind you'd find on price tags attached to clothes. The front of the tag shows an image of a couple obviously in an adult situation, but it's very tasteful and doesn't show nudity. The company name is at the top, and it gives the feathers color, what it's for, and website at the bottom of the tag. It also has an arrow that points to the back for some sexy hints.



On the back it gives you some idea for using this tickler.


The tag can easily be disposed of or kept for the sexy hints.
