XOXO Crop in black is a boldly designed discipline tool that does exactly what it promises — it leaves a lasting impression. Crafted from faux leather (vegan leather), this large crop features a short handle and a rectangular-shaped slapper head embossed with the word \u003cstrong\u003eXOXO\u003c\/strong\u003e in reverse, so every strike transfers the letters cleanly onto your partner's skin. The compact handle keeps delivery precise and controlled, making it ideal for targeted impact play without the unwieldy swing of a full-length riding crop. Whether you're marking your sub as yours or simply adding a playful, love-letter twist to discipline, the XOXO Crop brings personality and sting in equal measure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eXOXO Crop features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReversed XOXO imprint:\u003c\/strong\u003e slapper head stamps the word XOXO onto skin with each strike\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRectangular slapper head:\u003c\/strong\u003e delivers a focused, thuddy-to-stingy impact across a defined surface area\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShort handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e gives the dominant precise control over swing and placement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFaux leather construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e vegan-friendly material with a firm, satisfying slap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge size:\u003c\/strong\u003e sized for a more substantial impact area suitable for intermediate play\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAll-black finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e sleek, classic BDSM aesthetic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications \/ Size \u0026amp; material\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shots – Ouch!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rectangular slapper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Short handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Faux leather \/ vegan leather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody safety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vegan leather exterior; not intended for internal use — external impact toy only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIntensity \u0026amp; Experience Level\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLevel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intermediate | \u003cstrong\u003eSensation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stingy \/ imprinting\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe XOXO Crop delivers a sharp, focused sting rather than a deep thud, and the imprinting element adds a psychological layer that can feel quite intense for sensitive skin.
