Crops, commonly referred to as "riding crops," are a type of impact play tool used within BDSM (Bondage, Discipline, Dominance, Submission, Sadism, and Masochism) practices. They are inspired by traditional riding crops used in equestrian sports but adapted for consensual adult play. 

A BDSM crop is typically consists of a long, flexible shaft with a small loop or flat leather piece at one end. 

This design allows for precise, sharp impacts when used. The materials commonly include leather, faux leather, and various types of sturdy plastics or wood for the shaft. 

The loop or slapper on the end can vary in size and texture, allowing users to customize the sensation delivered.

Impact Play: Crops are primarily used for impact play, which involves striking the skin to create sensations ranging from light taps to sharp stings. They’re often used on fleshy areas of the body, such as thighs, buttocks, or shoulders.

Sensory Play: Crops can be gently run along the skin to heighten sensitivity or build anticipation before a strike.

Dominance and Control: As with many BDSM tools, crops can be a symbol of power dynamics, with one partner (the Dominant) wielding the crop to guide or discipline the other (the submissive).

Consent and Communication: As with any BDSM activity, the use of crops requires clear, informed consent between all participants. Establish boundaries and a safe word or signal to ensure the experience remains consensual and enjoyable.

Proper Target Areas: Avoid sensitive areas like the kidneys, spine, or face. Stick to fleshy parts of the body to minimize the risk of injury.

Skill Level: Beginners should start with light strikes and practice control to ensure safe and pleasurable use.

When selecting a crop for BDSM play, consider the following:

Material: Leather tips provide a sharper sting, while softer materials offer a gentler sensation.

Length: Shorter crops allow for more precise strikes, while longer ones may require more control.

Handle: Ensure the handle offers a good grip for comfort and safety.

Wrist Strap: Ensure the handle has a wrist strap so it stays in your hand.

Proper care extends the life of your BDSM crop:

Clean the leather or faux leather tip with a damp cloth. For shared use, consider using a disinfectant suitable for leather.

Store in a cool, dry place to prevent damage to the materials.
