What is a flogger? Types and Tips for Purchasing

What is a flogger? He’s a flag gelator, a multi-tail - used mainly in the BDSM sphere to whip, 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 fixed. Their average length usually does not exceed 80 cm.

Martinet is a special type of product, characterized by the presence of lashes of 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. Moreover, in practice, the latter are used strikingly 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 session participant is combined with low soreness when struck. This is precisely the main reason for choosing floggers by couples who did not practice hard sex before.

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

Slepper

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

The flogger and the slapper have the following differences in physical impact: the latter has a significantly greater impact force, so it will not work for beginners in trying to diversify their sex life.

Where to get?

After getting to know what a flogger and a blapper are, some people probably wondered where to buy an interesting thing:

1. Order online. Including subject to consideration of foreign sites, such as aliexpress. The quality there is not the best, but for unpretentious users this option is perfect and will help save money.
2. Buy at a sex shop. However, you should not expect from the proposed copies a special grace and aesthetics, because they are focused mainly on the mass user, and not on the connoisseur of BDSM attributes.

3. Buying from a good master who is professionally engaged in the creation of such devices.

Cons of handmade selection

It is worth warning the reader about some negative points:

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

Indisputable advantages of an individual order

We will not ignore the advantages of this choice:

1. Uniqueness and originality of work.
2. Workmanship and durability.
3. Individuality, work is done specifically 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 you choose, you should never forget about the rules of storage and operation. You need to understand that all wooden and leather products require careful care, so that they last longer.
