Using the Calexotics Boundless Feather Crop is easy and fun. You can start by gently using the feather part to tickle your partner's skin, creating a soft and flirty sensation. When you're ready for a bit more excitement, switch to the faux - leather end to deliver light taps. Remember, communication is key during play. Make sure both you and your partner are comfortable with the intensity. As for maintenance, keep the crop in a cool, dry place. You can use a soft cloth to gently clean the leather part and fluff the feathers every now and then to keep them looking good. And always check the crop for any signs of wear and tear before each use.
