The Fashionistas Riding Crop is a perfect BDSM toy for those who are just beginning to get into play. In fact, it is non-intimating enough for those who are trying to convince their partner to try this for the first time.

This toy proves that BDSM does not have to be all about pain. The crop is light and soft enough that it causes very little actual pain. Yet, it makes a wonderful 'snap!' sound when used properly. The insert-able handle is a rather juicy bonus (especially for pony play).

Also, this crop is perfectly safe for bastinado (foot torture) play. Unlike more rigid crops, this style will not cause serious injury to the nerves of the feet. It is also good for beginning C&B play as it will not cause undo harm on the genitals.

The design is flawless. I especially like the insert-able handle and the soft leather texture of the crop itself. The leather crop makes a wonderful crack and the look of the toy just says "I am a naughty person"!!

I have both used and had this crop used on me. I have used it in bastinado and it performed beautiful as my playmate was somewhat reserved about it the first few times. It snapped well and didn't cause her too much pain. I have also been on the receiving end of this in some C&B play and I was somewhat nervous as it was my first time in that sort of play. However, again this crop presented perfectly in that it did not cause undo damage. Yet, it gave a wonderful mental scare and had the imposing image desired in a BDSM scene.

Clean the handle with soap and water (if used for insertion) but do NOT get the leather crop wet as it acts like any other leather.

Great for bastinado or for anyone who is sensitive or scared of crops. It has that imposing look to it without actually being a destructive force. A must have for any dungeon.
