CROPS AND BUGGY WHIPS ( CLICK HERE for MEMBERS version ) ( Care light wipe over with damp cloth . Use a small amount of furniture polish to stop from drying out . Do not use anything with silicone in it . Keep in a dry place . )
A crop is a flexible leather or synthetic cored implement , much like a CANE . It has a leather loop or " pooper " at the end to stop damaging the skin and , depending on the , design create a little noise . They are also something you may be able to have around the home or office as a trophy . They are relatively inexpensive if bought from a saddle shop .
Crops have been associated with the B and D and S and M ( see DEFINITIONS ) over the years .
Dressage or Buggy Whips are similar to crops , only longer and without the " popper " . In place of the popper there's generally a short strand of twine , which may be shortened or removed if it goes too far around the side of the buttock .
