Types Of Impact Toys In BDSM

When you think of whips, it’s really easy to think of Indiana jones and his remarkably trusty bullwhip with insane whipping skills. A whip is a fairly long, yet not completely unmanageable piece which is extremely flexible and pliable. The end might be a single tail, or it might split towards the end for smaller flared tails, either way the handle will be a solid grip handle which will easily permit the whip to be manipulated, twisted and flicked without causing too much trouble. It’s easy to remember what a whip is, as a whip most closely resembles a long snake. Despite being long, thin and pliable, when used correctly these things can rain down a storm of pain and hurt if you want them to. They are most known to create a sharp stinging and intense sensation. Keep in mind though, that proper whip usage will require practice, so ensure that you know how to use one of these things before uh, whipping, them out.

Floggers are the smaller version of whips. They have the same handle, in the sense that it will be a solid and rigid handle for easy control, but they will not have a singular tail. Floggers will instead have an ending that results in multiple tails all stemming from the handle piece. These tails will spread out and split on each swing or flick of the wrist. These don’t require as much room to move around with and can be used in smaller spaces. A second advantage is they’re not as difficult to use as whips and floggers can be learned fairly quickly. Depending on the material floggers are more concerned with creating a dull thudding sensation as opposed to a stinging sensation. However, thin metallic tails and other such hard tails will certainly create a stinging sensation. Try it on the hand before using.

Crops are most commonly associated with riding crops. If you’ve ever been around horses, or seen riding crops used that’s pretty much it. A riding crop will have a firm, but generally pliable length (there are metal riding crops) with the tail coming in with a small flapping material, or a larger slapper piece made of leather or similar material. The slapper bit might come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colours and could incorporate something cute like a heart or a flower, or be more serious.

Paddles are a lot of fun and can be anything from serious, to super sexy and playful. Most aptly described as a ping pong paddle they work great in a variety of situations and role playing scenarios. They are usually soft enough to use for prolonged periods of time, but still firm enough to leave a soft rosy red mark on the skin. However, there are a variety of styles and designs that range from the cute and cuddly to the downright mean and nasty. Some paddles might not be made of leather and other materials and instead be made of wood, or bristle brushed pieces. In this sense a paddle can be described anything having a decent handle with a flat surface that provides a satisfying sound when slapped against the skin.

Impact toys are not generally used on their own as they really come into force when combined with other BDSM toys such as; restraints, cuffs and sensory deprivation. By cutting off eye sight it will force the body to rely on the sense of touch making impact toys intense, intimate and sensual. Using them in specific ways to achieve the results that you want to achieve with you and your partner.
