SecretPlay - Feather-tipped whip, black and fuchsia
Two ends on one handle: feathers at one, a paddle at the other. The SecretPlay feather-tipped whip is the only one of the brand's three tickling accessories that strikes, and the only one with a published composition — synthetic feather, polyurethane, cotton and polyester. It weighs 45 g, against 15 g for the marabou duster and 25 to 30 g for the 40 cm tickler. Two finishes in the catalogue.
Why choose this model?
- Two ends: the only one in the set to move from stroking to striking without changing accessory.
- Published composition: synthetic feather, polyurethane, cotton and polyester — the other two publish none.
- Synthetic feather: it takes a wipe that natural marabou does not.
- 45 g: the heaviest of the three, which tells in the wrist over time.
- Length not published: only the packaging is measured, at 530 mm long.
How to use it
- Agree a stop signal and a safeword before starting, not mid-session.
- Open with the feather end: it sets the attention before the paddle comes into play.
- Strike only fleshy areas — buttocks, backs of the thighs. Never the face, head, nape, kidneys, abdomen or any joint.
- Start well below what feels right, and build in steps, asking for confirmation each time.
- Check the skin afterwards: redness that fades is normal, a mark that stays is not.
The marabou duster and the 20-feather tickler keep to stroking. See also choosing an accessory for two and starting BDSM safely.
Care and precautions
Since the feathers are stated synthetic, a barely damp wipe on the paddle and handle is possible; soak nothing, as water sticks the barbs and cotton takes hours to dry. Check the handle-to-paddle junction before every session: that is the point which works under impact. An impact accessory should not be lent when it cannot be cleaned — keep it to use between the same people. The off-limits areas are not negotiable: kidneys, abdomen, nape, head and joints stay out of play, whatever intensity has been agreed. Stop at once for sharp pain, numbness, or a mark that does not fade.
Frequently asked questions
What is the composition?
Synthetic feather, polyurethane, cotton and polyester, according to the manufacturer.
How long is it?
Not published. Only the packaging is measured, at 530 mm long.
Is it suitable for beginners?
Yes, provided you start with the feather end and agree a stop signal.
How does it differ from the 20-feather tickler?
The tickler does not strike. This model adds a paddle, and 15 to 20 g on the scale.
Can it be wiped?
The paddle and handle, yes, barely damp. The feathers, no.
SoPigalle tip: test the paddle on your own thigh before the first session, at three intensities. What feels light in the hand is not light on skin that cannot see the stroke coming, and the gap between the two always surprises.
