How is a fringe crop different from a standard crop? A standard crop ends in a single flat tongue, called a keeper, that gives one clean smack. A fringe crop replaces it with a cluster of short tassels. The shaft still gives the speed and aim of a crop, but the tip behaves a little like a small flogger: it can be brushed over the skin as a tickler, tapped lightly in rhythm or snapped for a sting spread across several strands. The Saffron Fringe Crop has 12 tassels on a dual-layered tip.
Saffron Fringe Crop: a crop that also tickles
The Saffron Fringe Crop is part of the Saffron collection by Sportsheets. Its shaft is firm and flexible, which gives fast, accurate strokes. At the end is a dual-layered tip that splits into 12 tassels. That tip is what sets it apart: it can deliver a quick smack, or be drawn softly over the body for a ticklish brush.
One tool covers both ends of a scene. Use the tassels to tease and warm up, tap in a soft rhythm, then use the snap of the shaft when a firmer stroke is called for.
Best for: For couples who want one impact toy with a wide range, from tickling to a sharp smack. It suits dominant and submissive play, people who like the reach of a crop, and Saffron owners who want a matching piece.

How to use
Set limits and a safe word before play. Begin by trailing the tassels over your partner's skin so they learn the feel. Move to soft, rhythmic taps on the buttocks and thighs. For a firmer stroke, flick from the wrist and let the tip land, not the shaft. Increase slowly and check in between strokes. Avoid the face, neck, spine, kidneys and joints.
Care
- Wipe the tassels and shaft with a damp cloth and mild soap after use.
- Dry with a soft towel and let it air.
- Hang it or lay it flat so the shaft stays straight and the tassels are not crushed.
- Keep it away from heat and direct sunlight.

Frequently asked questions
How long is the Saffron Fringe Crop?
The facts available do not give the crop's own length. Its retail package is 26.5 inches long, so the crop is no longer than that. Check the packaging if you need the exact figure.
Does it sting more than a regular crop?
It depends on how it is used. The 12 tassels spread a stroke across several strands, and they can also be brushed over the skin as a tickler. A wrist flick gives a sharper smack.
How does it compare with the Amor Crop?
The Saffron Fringe Crop has a firm, flexible shaft and a dual-layered tip with 12 tassels, and it comes in a longer package. The Sex and Mischief Amor Crop is a compact crop sized for travel and aimed at beginners.
