It is a highly recommended process after the completion of any BDSM play. The first step is to check whether it leaves any scars or pain.

Tips for Choosing A Flogger

Floggers are made for nearly the same purposes. However, there are options available to pick. Let's see how you can pick yours.

Pick Color

Many give less attention to it, but the color selection is an essential process for picking floggers. Black and red are the ultimate sultry color for items like floggers. But there are other color preferences like pink, violet, or blue, that you have to search longer. Color can be a mood swinger in your playful time so, pick your favorite without hesitation.

Materials

Sensation depends on different materials and fabrics. Lighter floggers can feel more pain and cheap. Heavier floggers give the feeling of more like a massage. Heavy floggers are made of leather materials that tend to give a massage sensation.

Strand leather made floggers are called falls. Falls have a handle that is also made of leather. It is called hilt, which is sometimes kept separated from the falls. This type of flogger is called the pommel. Pommels sometimes have multiple rings.

Sensation

The flogger can provide two main kinds of sensation. They are sting or thud.

Sting gives a stinging and sharp sensation, which is not long-lasting. Thud is deeper and gives a lesser intense sense, which feels forceful. Neither of the floggers causes damage to the body, but both are incredibly sensational.

Types of Leather

Leather is a natural product, so there might be various feelings from one set to another. But the leather floggers makes big differences in sensation. Comparing between leather made the same product, one might be thicker and another thinner, one might be soft, and others are bit rough, color may change.

Oiled floggers are the most painful of all other floggers. They are capable of causing a lot of pain. It is a flogger best suited for expert users in BDSM scenes. Suede is soft and flexible leather, which gives a mixed performance of thud and sting. There is a combo flogger, which is a combination of oiled leather and suede leather. It is a nice mixture of pleasurable sting and thud all in one piece.

Deerskin is a lovely thud base flogger. It is very much soft like silk, thin as cloth, and lightweight as like a feather. It is better for beginners who would be able to play for a longer period without any pain.

American bison is a very thicker option. It can increase pain with a deep thud and a small amount of sting. It is not for the new ones. Rabbit is the most thinner of floggers. It is suitable for any users and incapable of causing any stings or even thuds.

Storing floggers

It would be best if you planned specifically to store the floggers. Floggers needs to be stored flatly in their strands. Wherever you put it, make sure to keep it flat, or else it might not work as it is designed for. Leather floggers must be conditioned.

Sharing

If you use floggers for multiple partners, then you should sterilize them. Leather, silicone floggers are easy to sterilize. Fabric material floggers are very difficult to sterilize.

Safe, responsible, and accurate flogging needs to be practiced well. For those who are experts, flogging is meant to be more erotic and extremely sensual to them. Enjoy flogging with caution and abide by safety.
