Lovehoney Black Heart Riding Crop

My first ever crop. Gave a nice little sting when my SO used it, and left some delicious marks on my skin.

Only issue is it fell apart on its first outing. Suggest buy the more expensive one, which I will be next time.

Good for beginners, something my SO isn't, so did withstand the usage. For the more experienced players, buy a different brand.

We have had this crop for a while now and it seems to be getting more and more use!

Light and easy to hold with a loop to fit over the wrist it is perfect to deliver a light tap to a much more resounding sting according to your preference. I find that kneeling over cushions gives the Mrs the ideal angle to land a sting or two in the middle of the buttocks. Try alternating the silk and leather sides, the silk is much gentler and when lightly moved over the skin gives nice sensations, the leather indues a healthy glow to the punished area for those that like it firmer. With the choice of sides, you never know which you will receive next! Alternatively use the edge of the heart and run it up and down against his balls and perineum to give a tease.

We both enjoy this crop and alternate it with a flogger for a mix of sensations, it is perfect for those new to a little punishment or not looking for anything too heavy.

Bought the crop to use with my girlfriend, with this being her first “non-vanilla” relationship I thought this along with a nice flogger would be the least intimidating start into some impact play, and we couldn’t be happier!

With the two surfaces of the heart, one velvety and the other leather, it gives a good range of textures to experiment with for stroking and light taps, and different intensities when harder strokes are applied. The handle itself is very comfortable to hold, allowing to spank away to your hearts content, and the light nature of the crop allows for swift and easy control.

One thing, which is not necessarily a negative, is with the body of the crop being firm and narrow it is easy to catch the behind with this part of the crop making it act like a cane, which can provide a little bit more impact than you had intended, but that comes down to the user, in this case, to be careful.

Overall definitely a staple to have in any BDSM closet, and will always find its way into our harder play sessions.

This little crop is so much fun! It has a satin side that feels really good against the skin for teasing strokes and also is a bit more gentle for build up or if you aren't a fan of really stingy smacks.

If you are, though, the leather side really packs a punch and leaves a really cute heart shaped red mark; so hot!

It's completely non-intimidating in look and perfect for beginners in impact play as it can be soft and gentle or pretty powerful! Really love this crop and a staple in our toybox.

I honestly bought this more for the aesthetic than anything else, but was really pleasantly surprised.

One side of the heart is a harder leather, whereas the other is a much softer material, which gives you options for how intense you might want the impact to be. The crop is a good length and slightly bendable.

Overall, very cute and worth the money!
