What is a flogger? It is also a flaggelator, a multi-tailed lash, used mainly in the field of BDSM, equipped with a certain number (from 10 to 50) of smooth tails. For its manufacture, soft leather with a thickness of about 1-2 mm is used. The main part of the flogger (photo below) is a rigid handle on which the tails are attached. Their average length usually does not exceed 80 cm.

Martinet - a special type of product, characterized by the presence of whips from very thin belts.

Let's take a closer look at what a flogger is. Depending on the material of manufacture, these items are both hard and soft. At the same time, in practice, the latter are used much more often, since this property expands the scope of application in BDSM. This is explained by the fact that the strong psychological impact exerted on the participant of the session is combined with low pain during blows. This is precisely the main reason why couples who have not previously practiced hard sex are choosing floggers.

It is worth noting that this device in BDSM is used exclusively for warming up, as a preparation for the subsequent use of harder tools. However, due to its popularity around the world, it is often used throughout the session. We hope we have given the reader a general idea of what a flogger is

Types of products

There are the following variations of these devices:

1. "Snake". One tail, often forked at the end and with a bendable handle.
2. "Arapnik". One tail made of tough leather.
3. "African". Has many tails formed by a flat weave.
4. "Cat". Differs in voluminous weaving of tails, often pointed at the ends.
5. Spanker stack, flogger stack. It has no tails, the blow falls on the entire surface, like a cane.
6. Clapperboard stack. Has no tails, hitting the surface of the cracker located at the end of the stack.
7. Velvet flogger. This is a whip with many non-woven tails made of the material of the same name.
8. Genital flogger. Has a small size, the almost complete absence of a handle.
9. BDSM whip. The length of the product is usually more than 1.2 m, has a rigid handle, often with a clapperboard at the end.
10. "Dog". Features an attached, replaceable leather cord.
11. "Cat's paw". Possesses pony tails ending in a flat weave.
12. Rattan. A percussion instrument whose distinctive feature is the fact that it is made from rattan wood.
13. "Dragon language". This is a whip, similar at the same time to the snake andrapnik.
14. Riveted paddle. Features fixed metal rivets for strong physical impact.

Slepper

This is a striking weapon that is actively used in BDSM practice. It is divided into a working part (expanded) and a handle (narrowed) with a loop for easy holding. To tighten the impact, holes of interesting shapes can be located on the surface of the product, leaving an imprint on the skin.

The flogger and the slipper have the following differences in physical impact: the latter has much more striking power, so it is not suitable for beginners trying to diversify their sex life.

Where to buy?

After getting to know what a flogger and a blinder are, some people probably wondered where to buy the thing they were interested in:

1. Order online. Including foreign sites, for example, aliexpress, are subject to consideration. The quality there is not the best, but for unpretentious users, this option is the best fit and will help save money.
2. Buy in a sex shop. However, one should not expect special elegance and aesthetics from the proposed specimens, because they are mainly focused on the mass user, and not on the connoisseur of BDSM paraphernalia.
3. Purchase from a good craftsman who is professional in creating such devices.

Cons of choosing handmade

It is worth warning the reader about some negative points:

1. Price. Handmade, author's execution, taking into account all the wishes of the customer - this is an expensive pleasure. But you need to understand that really high-quality work that will delight you for many years cannot be cheap.
2. Time. Handwork is neither fast nor cheap. It will take a long time to manufacture the device, so the customer will have to be patient before he receives the coveted item.
3. Prepayment. Almost all masters work on a prepaid basis, so the customer must absolutely trust the master, to whose account he will transfer a considerable amount of money.

Undeniable advantages of a custom order

Let's not ignore the advantages of this choice:

1. Uniqueness and uniqueness of the work.
2. Quality workmanship and durability of use.
3. Individuality, the work is done especially taking into account the wishes of the customer.
4. Moral satisfaction and aesthetics of the product.

In conclusion, I would like to add that no matter what method of purchase is chosen, you should never forget about the rules of storage and operation. You need to understand that all wood and leather products require careful maintenance so that they last longer.
