Tantra Feather Teaser

Thank you to GoodVibes for sending me this wonderful latest sensation toy in exchange for an honest review by yours truly. They really know how to make the world a sexier place.

 

I am a Lady of extremes. When it comes right down to it my favorite thing in a BDSM scene is pain: I am a sadist. And with time I have turned my attention to non bdsm activities as well that involve pain…like needles and branding. On the other hand can you guess what is my second favorite kind of scene? I LOVE sensation play with a blindfolded sub. I love to switch from a gentle touch to a gentle pinch to cold metal chains and then to feathers. Variety with a light touch is key here. OK if you know me you’ll say where is the rope, you LOVE rope? Rope is always involved…..for a soft or hard scene, that is just good measure he he.

 

One of my favorite tools for sensation play is a feather. Now feather ticklers are a dime a dozen in sex sotres but most have one thing in common: poor quality. LELO has come to the rescue with the high quality Tantra Feather Teaser. The entire length of handle plus the feathers is around 7 1/2 inches. The feather length will vary slightly but the handle is a nicely weighted mix of metal and acrylic that measures at 2 1/4″. It is easy hold and has a luxurious feel because of the weight. The end has a metal ball and attached to this is a matching colored acrylic section with the LELO logo in it. The feathers are tightly secured onto the handle.

 

 

The Tantra Feather Teaser is available in three different colors: deep red, purple, or black. I received the red one. Both contour and down feathers are use. Down feathers are the fine and soft, and provide a fluff factor. Contour feathers make up the shape of a bird, or the contour, and they have a more rigid quill stem. The mix of types of feathers adds to the sensation by playing on two tactile ‘feelings’. Although the teaser will handle some rough play do keep in mind that feathers are delicate in nature.

 

Feather ticklers are great for bedroom play. You can use them as part of a massage routine or they make an ideal teasing tool during foreplay. Imagine your partner blindfolded and not knowing what will happen next…the gentle touch of feathers will send them into sensory overload. I recently attended a tantric massage class and the presenter used a feather in her massage technique, it can be very erotic if you are not too ticklish in the neck, hands, feet, on the abdomen (I go wild here), the nipples, a rigid dry penis of on a mound of venus. Just remember feathers are most effective when used with a light touch, the lighter the better.

 

If you are a horrible tease like me play it up with a variety of sensations in one sitting: take a sensitive body part and caress it gently a bit. when your partner thinks all is safe give the body part a good squeeze (to your partners comfort level) and a bit of a slap, next caress it a bit again and give it a quick bite and then extended feather teasing. Finish off with a bit more gentle slapping and then kiss it gently better. A thrilling recipe!

 

 

Now cleaning and maintenance is tricky here.You cannot wash feathers or you will ruin the teaser. So obviously you will want to keep it dry and free of bodily fluids. You cannot disinfect feathers either. Feathers attract dust, to remove most of it blow off most of it with a hair dryer set to low. To avoid dust make sure to store your teaser safely in between uses. The sturdy box that come with the teaser is ideal, even if is it a tad short….just place them carefully before putting on the lid.

I think feathers are a must in a play chest so why not splurge a bit and get a good quality product that will last for years but not a few uses. The Tantra Feather Teaser are a winner in this category and you can get a whole series of toys to color match like a silk blindfold and silk ties. LELO does it once again!
