This beaded flogger is certainly unique in its design and style, but there are some considerable downsides to this toy. Firstly, the flogger is super lightweight: this might be great if you have limited strength in your hands, but if you’re looking for a heavier “thudding” flogger, this isn’t the one you’re looking for. Secondly, some find that the fronds are so lightweight that the sensations are limited, whether it’s punishment play or light tickling. Overall, if you’re specifically looking for a braided flogger, this might be your pick. If not, one of the other floggers in our round-up is probably more suited to your needs.

Flogger Materials
You’ll have a fairly wide variety of materials to choose from when selecting a new flogger. Here are your options!- Leather – Leather floggers can vary in stiffness, with some producing a sharp stinging sensation upon impact.
- Faux Leather – Perfect for vegans who like the look but hate the product, faux leather tends to provide more “bite” than a bruise.
- Silicone – Sterilizable and flexible, silicone is capable of inflicting sharp stinging pains and bruising.
- Suede – Flexible and soft, this material tends to provide more “sting” than “thud”.
- Elk Hide – Offering both a sting and a thud, this material is relatively soft, though heavier overall than suede.
- Metal – Hard, stingy, and capable of producing serious injury, this material is best left to more experienced users when utilized in a BDSM scenario. Can also be used for temperature play.
- Rope – Generally speaking, rope will feel very sharp if you’re on the receiving end, although you can also achieve a “thuddy” sensation if using a thick enough rope.
Choosing the Right Tool
Floggers offer a variety of sensations, determined by the material they are made from, the number of falls, whether they are weighted or not, their handle design, and how thin the falls are. Which particular flogger works best for you and your play partner depends on a lot of factors: how much “thud” or “sting” sensation you want, how much weight you want behind the blows, whether you have multiple partners, and what each playmate’s pain tolerance is. To help figure out what will most appeal to you and your play partners, it’s best to visit a shop or venue in person to get a literal feel for the merchandise. However, that isn’t always possible, so here are some guidelines for picking out a flogger:- The more falls a flogger has, the more spread out the force of the blow will be. Generally that means more “thud” and less “sting”, though toys like a filament rubber flogger will still have a lot of bite.
- The stiffer and stretchier the material the flogger is made from, and the narrower and fewer its falls, the more “sting” it will provide.
- Suede, deerskin and elkskin falls can provide a good deal of “thud” but rarely sting.
- Rope falls sting more if the ropes are narrower, stiffer or knotted on the ends.
- Oiled leather, buffalo hide and other stiff leather falls will sting more and possibly leave welts.
- Rubber falls will sting more than thud, especially filament rubber or stiff, narrow rubber falls.
- Weighted falls will provide more intensity but are also harder to swing and aim.
- Rubber floggers are the easiest to clean if you have multiple partners.
How to use a flogger
If you’re new to using a flogger, it’s going to take a little time to get used to the sensations, whether you’re engaging in sensory play or pain-play. Here’s how we recommend using a flogger toy:
Go Slow
When beginning any type of play with a flogger, take it slow and let your body adjust to the sensations. Don’t go straight into direct lashing or spanking – the joy of sensation play is all about slowly building arousal and awakening the senses. It’s important to play safe – communicate regularly with your partner.
Impact Play
Using a flogger isn’t always going to be the most comfortable experience – in fact, many BDSM enthusiasts love floggers because they enjoy the thrills of pain-play. If you think you’re into that kind of thing, test out your flogger with your partner and experiment with light, gentle, and more intense use.
Punishment Play
Lots of BDSM enthusiasts love using floggers when engaging in power-play and “punishing” their sub. If you’re engaged in a BDSM relationship, some punishment play can be exhilarating when you add a fetish flogger into the mix!
Sensation Play
Using a flogger is ideal for all types of sensation play, especially as you can alternate between light tickling and thudding spanks! Explore the full sensory spectrum with a versatile flogger – pair your play with a blindfold to enhance your sensations.
Temperature Play
If you’re interested in the thrills of temperature play, you can enhance this type of BDSM play with a flogger. Dip a metal flogger in ice-cold water to add some oopmh to the stings!
Choose the right suede flogger for you!
As I’m sure you can see from my post, there are plenty of suede floggers out there! So finding the right one for you and your partner is super important! You want one that you will both have fun with, so taking your time to discover what you both want and need is an essential part of the suede flogger finding!
Start things off gently!
So you’ve made your choice? Okay, cool! Once you’ve found the flogger for you, it’s always a good idea to start out soft. Gentle tickles with the tails, up and down the body, really does tease those nerve endings and get things tantalizingly steamy. Despite what you might think, suede floggers really can be amazing gentle tickling tools!
Start to get a little more heavy handed!
So you’ve had some soft play, it’s time to get harder! Use that flogger to swipe across the body or buttocks, gentle at first but gradually getting harder and harder. It’s essential to listen to what your partner wants and what they are happy with – the idea is to have some fun, not hurt them! Once you both get into your strides, you’ll find that using a suede flogger really is a sexy and naughty experience!
How to clean a flogger
Cleaning a flogger will all depend on what material your flogger is made of. If your toy is made with real leather, you should invest in a leather cleaner to keep your toy free of bacteria and in tip-top condition. If your flogger is made with steel or metal, you should be able to clean it thoroughly with warm soapy water, or by sanitizing it in boiling water for 3-5 minutes. Other flogger materials, such as elk hide or PU leather should be treated by following the instructions on the product packaging or in the instruction manual. You can refer to our sex toy cleaning guide below for more information:
FAQ
What is a flogger?
A flogger is a type of BDSM impact toy that is among the most commonly used, especially by beginners. A Flogger consists of two parts: A handle Falls – between three and a hundred “falls” What are “falls”? Falls are hanging strands of whatever material the flogger is made from. Floggers are most commonly made of soft suede, deerskin, or similar material, with between twenty and forty falls in relatively wide strips. There is a lot of variation on this, however, providing a wide variety of sensations and intensities. Floggers differ from similar-looking items like cats or multi-tailed whips in that they largely convey a “thud” sensation; their falls are generally not braided, and tend to be wider. A flogger is one of the most common impact toys used in BDSM, and is the one most likely to be recommended for beginners. It is relatively safe and easy to use, and doesn’t require a lot of practice to master compared to other impact toys. Floggers come in a variety of materials, but always consist of a handle tipped with a varying number of falls. The number of falls contributes to the weight of the blows and how “thuddy” the impacts are. The material used to make a flogger determines how soft or stiff the falls are, which determines whether the impact will have more of a sting to it. A boiled leather or rubber flogger can impart a lot of sting. Aftercare depends on the intensity of the session and what kind of floggers were used. Welts and bruises are the commonest injuries. Once the sub is tended to, the flogger may need care too, ranging from simple disinfecting with a 10% bleach solution, to a soft-bristle brush and saddle soap for suede or leather toys.
