When talking about floggers, in a rough sense, we are talking about whips. However, we are talking about specific whips. That's what we'd like to go into a little more detail about in this blog post.
What is a flogger anyway?
A flogger is a whip that is popular as a beginner's model. So if you're still new to whipping or being whipped, buy a flogger. It is not as hard as other whips and gentle stroking is also possible.
Despite the harmless strength, this whip also belongs to the BDSM field. It consists of several straps, which can be made of materials like leather or similar. The small but fine SM whip, can find use as a tool for punishing a sub without leaving bloody welts.
But even if a flogger is smaller and softer, with a little use of force, an erotic pain can be created. The areas of application can be very diverse, as well as just the types of floggers.
Different flogger designs
As already briefly mentioned, there are different designs. For example, there are differences in the materials. The straps are either made of leather, silicone, horse hair or even terry cloth. There are different materials because they have different effects. Horse hair, for example, is very suitable for petting games. If the tassels are made of rubber or silicone, they can cause a sweet pain.
There are also tassels made of rope or terry cloth. Here you get the advantage that you can use the flogger in dry as well as in wet condition. If the straps are too soft for you, moisten them and there is more power behind it. So it will be a real BDSM whipping!
Floggers for BDSM games can also be equipped with balls at the tassel ends. Here you get to feel a special pain. This variation is a leather whip with balls. For a secure grip, the leather straps are usually braided.
Different handles
It's not just the tassels that matter. Floggers can also have different handles. These are not only made of different materials, but can also differ in length and shape. Leather handles are very popular, as they simply feel good in the hand. But there are also plastic handles, which are made of stainless steel, glass or even wood.
In addition, there are the shapes, which can not simply represent a handy handle, but also like to show penis shape or plug shape. Whether you want to use these flogger types then also accordingly, with such an inviting handle, depends on you and of course the materials used.
What are floggers used for?
A flogger toy can be used in different areas. Meanwhile, these great whips can be found in numerous private bedrooms. There they are used for soft sex games, or to test yourself and catch an entry into the SM / BDSM scene.
With a flogger you can distribute tender caresses. The straps feel ticklishly soft on naked skin and provide a great tingling sensation all over the body.
But you can also give light pats with it. It tickles more than it hurts and provides for horny excitement for all involved. If it should then go properly to the point, you can also really lunge with the flogger to create the longing pain.
With the great whips you can combine different fetishes. They can be used for sensual role-playing games. You can also use them as punishment if you are a dominatrix. Or maybe you use them for great orgies or to educate your cuckold. The uses are really very versatile.
Using floggers properly
It's important that you use the floggers correctly so that it's really fun. For one thing, it must be made clear beforehand in what way the flogger will be used. All parties involved must be in agreement.
For tender play, hold the handle loosely in your hand.
Slide the straps diagonally and slowly over the entire body. Gently as if with a feather, just barely touching the skin, you will cause a perfect tingling sensation in your partner.
For light pats, you can also hold the handle quite loosely and simply distribute short small strokes on the skin. Don't get a lot of momentum, just slap very lightly.
Want more power? Then hold the flogger really tight, lunge and hit! Often you can also hear a whizzing sound, which of course turns you on even more.
With hard blows, it's important that you're sure of your aim and know your way around a person's anatomy. There are taboo zones, which are of course the eyes and the joints. In addition, kidney and liver punches should also be avoided.
Buying the perfect flogger
To buy the perfect flogger for yourself, you need to know beforehand what you want to do with it. Find out what material is best for what and also consider your own material preferences. Furthermore, you should pay attention to the workmanship. Only high-quality processed floggers bring you lasting pleasure.
