The Scandal Feather Crop is a dual-ended crop and tickler. Perfect for beginners who want to experiment with impact play, tickling, and teasing. This crop provides a nice gentle slap, and it’s super easy to use. Plus, it’s got that iconic black and red design that will match the whole Scandal collection!

Using the Scandal Feather Crop was a hit-and-miss for me. There are many parts of it that I enjoy and some that didn’t fulfill my expectations. I don’t have anything against that crop, but it just didn’t give me that spark and excitement I get with new BDSM gear. Maybe that’s because I got the crop after testing the Strict Leather Flogger, which is much more exciting and fun to use.

The Good and the Bad

I think that the design is pretty cool, the 2-in-1 approach is fun and versatile. It’s a great toy if you want to explore and spice things up in the bedroom and want an easy-to-use and affordable start. Look-wise, I am not in love with the pattern, but it adds a bit of charm and uniqueness, it’s the stitching that makes this crop feel less high-end. Also, I wish the crop weighted more, because it doesn’t provide that serious feel for the holder. It kinda felt like I was using a cat toy, but for some that might be a pro! When it comes to the impact play, the Scandal Feather Crop is gentle and easy to handle. It provides a delicate slap, but it can feel a bit stingy if you add more force. But it’s definitely not a toy for pro spankers! I enjoyed using it for more delicate areas and foreplay, but I switch to flogger when in my mood for some serious spanking.

The Scandal Feather Crop is all about simplicity and versatility. The dual-ended design encourages you to explore different sensations during your play, which is a big plus for anyone who wants to dip their toes into kinkier scenarios. The crop end is perfect for gentle spanking, and the feathers are cute and fluffy. The toy itself looks okay, but the black and red pattern isn’t really my thing.

Using the Scandal Feather Crop couldn’t be easier. The crop is lightweight and quite flexible, and the sensation it provides is light and gentle. You can use the crop part for gentle taps and stronger smacks, and feathers for teasing or tickling. Even though I like the 2-in-1 design, I don’t feel like it’s that practical, I wish there was a wrist loop instead because this crop flew out of my hand a few times.

Given the low price of this crop, I wasn’t expecting a top-quality sex toy, but the craftsmanship is surprisingly really nice! The crop end is made with fake leather material, which feels comfortable, yet sexy against the skin, and it’s sturdy, so you can play around with more intense swings without worrying about it breaking apart. Even the feathers are of good quality, although sometimes they leave a bit of fluff behind. But, when it comes to the craftsmanship, it could be better, you can clearly see the crooked stitching, and the crop is so lightweight, that it feels a bit flimsy.

The Scandal Feather Crop is a simple and affordable BDSM gadget. I think the price is okay given the nice quality and the fact it’s a 2-in-1 product. Sure, I’ve seen similar products that are a bit cheaper, but let’s not forget that this crop belongs to the super popular Scandal collection.

As I mentioned before, the Scandal Feather Crop is really easy to use. The impact it provides is gentle, but you can work your way up to something more stingy. I wouldn’t recommend it to those who love painful sessions, but if you like the thrill of slapping and teasing it’s a great choice.

The Scandal Feather Crop came in basic plastic packaging. It didn’t feel fancy or luxurious, but I didn’t expect anything like that for such a low price.

The crop is made with PVC, polyester, and marabou. The material on the crop end imitates the feel of the leather, and the feathers are soft and fluffy. I wouldn’t say that this is the highest quality toy, but it’s durable and will withstand many juicy slaps. And if you want to clean it, just a quick wipe with a damp cloth will do the trick.

  • Lightweight
  • Easy to use
  • Dual-sided design
  • Gentle and perfect for beginners
  • Affordable

  • Might be too weak for anyone other than beginners
  • Doesn't feel very luxurious
  • Hard to store

Overall, I think that the Scandal Feather Crop is a fun gadget for those who are totally new to the spanking game and want something very gentle. The dual-sided design is a great way to explore different sensations and play around with spanking and tickling however you want. I wouldn’t say that this is the most exciting BDSM gadget I’ve used, and the feel of it could be improved, but given the affordable price, I can’t complain. If you want to add a bit of spice to your bedroom it’s a great toy, but if you like intense impact play, I would look for a heavier and more high-end crop or a flogger.

There is no user manual available online for the Scandal Feather Crop, but it’s super simple to use. Just take a look at my How To guide above for ideas!

Yes, it's quite suitable for beginners. Its dual nature allows for a range of sensations from very gentle to more intense. Just remember to start slowly, get familiar with the toy, and always communicate with your partner.

Absolutely. While it's often used in partner play, you can also use it for solo sensory exploration, utilizing both ends to discover what types of sensations you prefer.

Keep the feather end dust-free and store it in a way that doesn’t crush the feathers. For the crop end, wipe it with a damp cloth if needed. Store in a dry place to prevent damage.
