Personal Experience
Eyes On Me
At first glance, I immediately wanted to touch it – the Motivator has a sleek, powerful glory. It was secured to the unassuming little cardboard sheet, but it had a hidden appeal. I understood once I squeezed it in my grip. I itched to discipline someone with the slaps and swats from this toy. I slapped the leather tongue against my palm sharply, flicking my wrist so it really stung. And wow, the sensation brought blood to the surface of my palm, made it tingle and itch in that special way. I swatted my palm rapidly several more times, frowning as the stricter side of my dominance was being encouraged to come out. The burn and sting in my palm from just a few strokes were delicious. My palm felt softer and warmer, looked pinker and primed for more. I smiled to myself. I’ll definitely have some fun with this one.Now Cower and Look Away
Take a moment to look that the Motivator Crop. This isn’t one of those seven dollar heart-shaped, felt crops that might come with a halloween costume from some third-party website. It demands respect with its stern length, simple oblong shaped tongue and intimidating double bite. I practiced swinging it on many surfaces till I could tell where the tongue ended and the shaft began easily. It would be horrible to accidentally hit someone with the wrong part. When I felt comfy with this toy, I sought a willing play partner to let me beat them up. “Okay, you can use this one and this one. Not the crop please. It looks very stingy and I’m more of a thuddy kind of guy.” He said earnestly. I tried to not wilt visibly. I just wanted to use my new toy! It is always important to make sure the toys you want to use are acceptable for your bottom, so I complied. It took a while to find me a partner willing and eager to let me whip them into shape with my Motivator crop. But once I did, the experience did not disappoint.Training Time
I found myself a mannerless brat who needed a firm Mistress to retrain her out of her naughty ways. I enjoyed licking her all over with the bitter sharp tongue of my crop. With the sleek black toy in my hand, it became easier to slip into my role as Mistress Anna, scolding and punishing a brat for not remembering how to stay in her positions. We had been working on some position training in previous scenes, so this was a performance evaluation of sorts. She was failing miserably, moving out of position whenever I landed a good blow to her pert bottom. The Sportsheets Motivator crop was perfectly sized for me to stand over her in the Kneel position and swipe at the soles of her feet. When I asked her to show me Lean while kneeling, her posture was unsatisfactory so I was able to decorate her ass with more blows easily. I loved how hefty the grip felt in my hand despite being so thin. The bouncy material was secure and relieved a lot of the impact in my hands. In no time, she was squealing and squirming out of position thanks to the beating this toy delivers. For Mistress Anna, moving out of position without permission is completely unacceptable, so she absolutely got more swats for that!Bear the Bite; Savor the Sting
One feature my brat later raved about was the wider oblong leather impact zone at its end. The Motivator crop has two flexible thin leather tresses that strike the skin one after the other, delivering a double bite that masochists can truly enjoy enduring. This sensation adds more to look forward to regarding this crop. Stand up straight and smack it menacingly against your palm. You can deliver big swings with heavy stings or you can use shorter flicks to send rapid fire slaps and spread an area with heat and yummy tingly pain. No matter what, both of you will revel in this impact play experience together.Design
I love the simple, sleek and classy look of the Motivator crop. The materials feel thick and firm to touch, giving it a luxurious feel in my hand. I found myself just playing with it in my hands. It looks like basic classic crop but it feels great to hold and has a lovely length.
Ease of Use
The Motivator crop's shaft extends into the tongue for a few inches, making it easy to miscalculate the exact part you want to strike your brat with if you're not used to it or in the heat of the moment. You can do big swings or rapid fire short strokes thanks to the firm grippy handle. Once you get used to its length, this crop is becomes easier to use, but take some time working on aiming correctly. Practice makes perfect with this one!
Quality
The Motivator Crop has an excellent quality from the braided black weave over its shaft to the the rubbery non-slip handle. The double tresses are made from thin and stiff yet flexible cow hide leather. The stitching on the leather and the cuff of the shaft are well done. All together, this crop creates a fantastic slapping sound once you wield it against skin. I felt like the whacks were echoing around the apartment walls. Were the neighbors listening to my fabulous swats and the brat's sonorous squeals? I couldn't care less and disciplined her with the thoroughness the situation deserved as her Mistress.
Price
At $35, the Sportsheets Motivator crop is certainly more expensive than other crops sold in many sex toy stores. However, this price is reasonable for the superb quality, double bite effect and sophisticated look.
Performance
The Motivator crop was certainly effective at bringing my brat to heel. It exceeded my expectations while using as I felt like I could keep swinging for ages if I wasn't careful. I loved the sounds it made and the sexy wriggles and groans I got as my rewards. Adding this toy to our role play of an angry Mistress disciplining her naughty brat certainly brought much life to the scene!
Packaging
The Motivator crop comes attached to a simple card board sheet that has the name on it. The back has a large "Sportsheets" logo with warranty information, ingredients and care instructions. There are no additional parts or instructions on how to use. I don't mind this minimalist packaging as it is very functional. However, it is not discreet since you can see at a glance what it is.
Materials and care
The cowhide leather is non-porous and waterproof. It feels light in the hand but high quality. To clean this crop, hand wash the tongue with soap and water, then wipe with a towel after. You can also clean with toy wipes. Allow to dry completely. Store in any drawer, shelf or closet. I recommend using a leather conditioner every so often, especially if you're cleaning it with water, to keep the leather from drying out and becoming brittle. There is no storage bag included with this product.
