The 4 Best BDSM Crops

This little crop has quickly become a favorite in my bedroom with both me and partner loving it! I absolutely love that it’s made of silicone, so it can be used for intimate spanking and easily cleaned after. I was shocked by just how great it felt for clitoral and nipple spanking. The short sharp stings are breathtaking in the best way and really leave everything feeling super sensitive! My partner also really enjoyed using it! It’s pretty lightweight and has a long enough handle that he can easily use it during sex. I would love if the handle was a little stronger, as I want this thing to last forever but aside from that, I have no complaints at all!

Crops tend to be quite cheap as there’s not a whole lot to them, however this by far the cheapest I’ve come across, at under $15! Considering how cheap it is, our tester, Cassie, “was pleasantly surprised by the Sex & Mischief Mini Riding Crop.” She liked that the smaller size makes it “both affordable and practical” while still being able to provide “quite the thwack.” I think the smaller size makes it much less intimidating than a full-sized crop. Cassie also found that it “is incredibly easy to use.” You are also unlikely to go too hard as Cassie found that you “need to put a little more power into those swings you want to feel extra stingy.” I wouldn’t choose this for heavy spanking, I would use it for occasional use or a fun impact play tool for travel as it’s super easy to pack in a weekend bag.

Having tried this feather crop and tickler myself, I can say it’s the perfect crop for beginners! I found I was able to give it quite a swing without it ever getting too intense as the faux leather tip is quite thick and padded. I also think the tickler is nice touch that can help ease you into the world of sensation play. That being said, as someone with more experience, I found myself craving something with more intensity. Our tester, Kasia, had a similar experience! She liked that the “the 2-in-1 approach is fun and versatile” and thought it was a very beginner-friendly “easy-to-use and affordable start.” She also found that it provides a “delicate slap” that she “enjoyed using it for more delicate areas and foreplay” but it left her wanting more when she’s in the “mood for some serious spanking.”

I’ve got a few products from the Sportsheets Saffron range and have been quite impressed by the quality! I think they make great entry level to intermediate BDSM tools, and I would say this crop and tickler is too! I really like the combination of sweet and spicy you can get and think switching between soft tickling and sharp spanking is a great way to build anticipation. Sarah, tested it out for us, and really liked that the “color combination gives it an incredible look” and she “felt powerful” when using it! She enjoyed that the light “tapping sensation builds anticipation” and is a great build up for more intense spanks. She also loved hearing the “snapping sound” and how they kept getting more intense with harder swings. I really appreciate that this crop can be used to create a range of sensations, so it can grow as your tastes do. It’s also a bonus that “it is simple and fun to use.”
