CROPS

Although crops are lightweight enough to be wielded with one hand, they can strike fast and hard on a tender, willing bottom. Even better, it sends an unmistakable visual message before it’s even used: You are the one in charge. Of course, they're very popular for training and discipline in pony play scenes, but they work just as nicely to keep any naughty submissive in line. 

WHAT IS A RIDING CROP IN BDSM?

A riding crop is a classic BDSM impact tool designed to deliver sharp, focused sensation with precision and control. Unlike paddles or floggers, crops concentrate force into a narrow striking surface, creating a distinct sting that’s as much psychological as it is physical. In BDSM play, crops are often used to reinforce authority, signal correction, or punctuate commands during training, discipline, or power exchange scenes.

HOW CROPS SHAPE POWER AND CONTROL

Crops function as both a physical implement and a visual symbol. The presence of a crop—held, raised, or casually resting against a thigh—establishes dominance before a single strike lands.

In riding crop BDSM play, anticipation is often as impactful as contact, making crops especially effective for edging scenes, protocol enforcement, and slow-burn discipline.

TYPES OF CROPS AND HOW THEY’RE USED

This collection brings together a range of BDSM crops designed for different sensations, experience levels, and scene dynamics.

Traditional riding crops deliver quick, controlled impact and are commonly used for spanking, correction, and posture training.

Flexible and slapper-style crops add variation in sensation, blending sting with a bit more movement and sound.

Decorative and symbolic crops emphasize authority and presentation, often chosen for pony play, roleplay, or visual dominance.

Whether used for riding crop sex play, formal discipline, or casual correction, crops reward precision and restraint.

FAQs

Are riding crops good for beginners?

Yes, when used thoughtfully. Crops require control and precision, making them suitable for beginners who want to focus on technique rather than raw force.

What’s the difference between a crop and a whip?

Crops deliver more controlled, localized impact, while whips create broader, faster-moving sensation. Crops are often easier to manage and predict.

Can crops be used for sex play?

Absolutely. Many people incorporate riding crop sex into scenes as a way to heighten arousal, reinforce dominance, or pace stimulation.

Are crops only for pony play?

No. While popular in pony play, crops are widely used across BDSM scenes for discipline, teasing, training, and authority signaling.

How do I choose the right BDSM crop?

Consider grip comfort, flexibility, and intended use. Beginners often prefer shorter or more flexible crops, while experienced players may choose firmer designs for precision discipline.
