BDSM Whips VS Floggers: Stingy and Thuddy and Sharp, Oh My!
If someone asked you which was better, sex whips or floggers, you’d have a hard time answering. Both are fantastic for exploring sensation play but there are some key differences in design and sensation! So let’s take a look at what makes them so uniquely individual!
- Design – here’s the most obvious divergence between floggers and whips! Whips contain a handle with a long, slim, flexible tail that can be lashed and literally whipped against someone. Floggers on the other hand have multiple tails or “falls” that can come in loads of different size and numbers. Depending on this, some floggers can feel similar to sex whip or have more of a “thuddy” impact, if the fails are broad and heavy. Some people prefer whips, some prefer floggers. It’s all down to personal taste, but floggers are often more suitable for complete beginners.
- Pros and cons – There are definitely pros and cons to both the sex whip and the flogger. These are relatively subjective pros and cons of course, but still! Floggers may feel harsher and leave bigger, wider marks that may be painful. Whips on the other hand can leave thin, targeted marks that could – if taken too far – break the skin. On the other hand they both provide different sensations that are sexy in their own ways. This leads us neatly onto the next section…
- Thuddy vs Stingy – Because of the shape of floggers they give you a much more impactful ‘thud’ as it hits you. That larger surface area only makes the thud deeper and more sensual (if you like that kind of thing)! On the other hand, sex whips, BDSM crops and canes sting. The tails hit only a narrow, thin strip of your skin, and as such it causes a pleasurable and concentrated sting.
