Being a girl who is both whimsical and sadistic, I happen to have a thing for BDSM toys with a softer side—or at least a sense of humor.
In fact, my first ever paddle was one of those OUCH paddles, which I saw as both functional and amusing—the idea of an ass literally saying ouch after a good spanking was just too excellent to resist.
In that spirit, I was quite intrigued by the Heart Crop—which, with it's pretty little heart-shaped tip, looks more like a fairy princess wand than an implement of pain. In other words, it looked exactly my speed.
Serious kinksters might be tempted to write the Heart Crop off as a beginner's toy (after all, it's got a heart on it), but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was able to conduct a good deal of thwack when wielded properly—and at the end of my session with it, my heartshaped bottom was now a heartstudded bottom; and one that was pleasantly sore, to boot.
