Flogger
Leathers
Lambskin/Chamois
Lambskin is
one of the softest, most sensual of all leathers.
It has an exotic leather smell that will help set the
mood in any scene. Makes the best all over body flogging that you’ll not have
to worry about leaving marks or welts.
Deerskin
Deerskin is a very
sensuous, lightweight leather that is great for warm ups.
This is an excellent material for someone just starting
out. Deer is an extremely soft, pliable and “stretchy” leather
with a distinctive aroma and a texture ranging from moderately
dry to slightly oily. It is velvety smooth when dragged across
the skin, and will not cut or bruise, even the most sensitive.
Deerskin is the perfect warm-up flogger or light play
flogger. Delivers
lots of noise and a thuddy sensation.
Elk
A step up from
deerskin, elk is thicker, has more weight, more thud, and a
distinctive spongy feel you’ll love to caress and smell.
The most scrumptious floggers you’ll want in your
collection. A good choice for a sensual warmup and cool down.
Elk is very similar to deer, yet because of it’s
thickness, it’s also similar to an oil-tanned hide with the
severity it can have. A
wide thick elk is much gentler, but a narrow thick elk can
sting well. The thud of elk is deep and penetrating in a wide blade
width. Elk is
relatively safe for even the beginner, with lighter strokes.
Goatskin/Kidskin
Goatskin, otherwise
known as kidskin, is extremely soft and supple, fine grained
and durable. The
skin has a beautiful pebble texture.
It is a perfect warmup for light play.
The sensation is much like deerskin but the leather is
more tight grain. Delivers
a lot of noise and a mild thudy, slappy sensation yet
sensually seductive. Comparible
to deerskin or elk in sensation, goat is a step up in sting.
Cowhide
Lightweight cowhide
is heavier and a bit harder than deerskin, producing a bit
more sting than thud, especially when swung hard. Even when
used lightly, this flogger's tails are heavy enough that you
can feel a bit of sting.
The black
cowhide usec for floggers is a (3-4 oz) chrome tan with good
flexibility and density.
Bovine is a top quality leather that is tanned for
softness. This
leather makes nice all over the body floggers.
Range and variety of sensation from light to medium
sting and thud combined.
Buffalo/Bison
Bison produces a
deep thud. Bison
leather is excellent for delivering a good solid thuddy
sensation, heavier than bovine and perfect for those who crave
more intense erotic sensation.
The thick leather has a beautiful pebble texture,
flexible temper and exotic leather smell.
When used with more power, a stinging sensation comes
in to play.
Bull Hide
Bullhide is makes
for an intense thud and a stingy sensation.
Bullhide is
the industry term for thick, chrome-tanned bovine leather from
fully developed adult animals. The actual gender of the beast
is not guaranteed. Bullhide is primarily used for the tresses
of thumpy floggers and occasionally as a paddle covering.
Oil Tanned
Can be thud or a
heavy sting. Oil
tanned leather feels moist to the touch, heavy weight, shiny
smooth surface with harder edges. This leather does not break down and is one of the best for
long repeated impact. The
floggers are weighty and stingy.
Oil tanned is similar to latigo, except that it isn’t
hot stuffed with waxes. This
usually keeps it a suppler hide.
Kangaroo
This
leather when correctly tanned is far superior to any other
known leather in respect to lateral strength, flexibility,
appearance and scuff resistance.
Strong, thin and firm, Kangaroo hide
is the ideal material for making lace for braiding. For this
reason it is the preferred material for single-tail whip
makers and prized for decorative work as well. It is not,
however, the only useful braiding leather.
They sting and they bite but oh they can be so gentle
when you want them to be.
Kangaroo is a noisy leather and these whips whistle an
intimidating sound as they sail through the air with great
speed.
Latigo
For very heavy play
latigo produces an intense sting with very little effort. Latigo is very severe when made into whips or floggers.
This is definitely an impliment that should be used
after much practice on an inanimate object. Many people are even unable to work up to or into the
severity of this type of leather.
Latigo is one of the most severe leathers on a flogger
more so until you have the leather “broken in”.
It’s ridged with hard, sharp, edges that lead way for
impressive stripes and welting.
Experienced players will love the stinging sensation
with little effort on the Top’s part. The leather does soften a bit with age and use.
Horsehair
Horsehair can be
used for a sensuous feel or can be very severe, it also gives
a scratching sensation; this flogger can and will draw blood
if used heavy. Draw
it sensually over the skin…..or hit with it and feel the
sting! But be careful, the individual hairs have microscopic
barbs that can actually break skin. Horsehair is a good warmup
whip for a medium to heavy whipping scene.
Makes a sweet swishing sound as it sails through the
air. Delivers a
stingy abrasive sensation you will have a love/hate
relationship with. You
can’t stand anymore but please don’t stop.
