This Scandal 3 Foot faux leather whip is one of the more advanced toys in this round-up review. Remember, you will need to practice using whips like these before you go near a human being with it. It’s great for inflicting sharp, stinging pain. Due to its weight, not a lot of effort needs to go into using this. It looks great for the price and fulfils its intended use easily. I wouldn’t say it’s one for the beginners, but this sex whip is a fabulous piece of equipment for those wanting to expand their experience and skills.

9 Butt Plug

  • Love flogging and butt plugs

  • Aren't interested in anal play
  • Don't like glass

The Icicles No. 49 is elegant and beautifully designed. The glass plug is hand-blown and the flogger is made from bull leather. Together they form an exquisite combination. As the plug is glass it is suitable for temperature play. It’s also incredibly easy to clean after use. When used as a flogger the plug fits perfectly into your hand and the tresses are soft enough to satisfy beginner play and hard enough to deliver a sound whipping to the more experienced if required.

  • Hand-blown glass plug
  • Tresses made from bull leather
  • Easy to clean

  • Plug may not be suitable for all
  • Not vegan/vegetarian friendly
Icicles No. 49 Glass
Length23.5 inches
Insertable length4 inches
Width1.5 inches
MaterialsPlug: Glass, Whip: Leather
AllergiesPhthalate-free

Icicles No. 49 glass butt plug and flogger is a beautifully designed item. The plug is hand-blown and its smooth curves make it easier to insert with the help of some lube. Its base is flared, making it safe and comfortable to wear as a tail if required. Although the plug is easy to clean, care must be taken not to get the leather tresses wet. As with all butt plugs, if you’re a beginner go for a small size. With that in mind, this one may not be suitable for internal use for those new to anal play – but it can be something that you can work up to.

10 Braided

Saffron Braided SM Whip By Sportsheets

 Saffron Braided SM Whip

  • Want a dramatic looking flogger
  • Desire vegan-friendly equipment
  • Want to step up your impact play

Saffron Braided SM Whip

  • Prefer leather
  • Don't like tipped braids
  • Are a beginner

The Saffron Braided Flogger By Sportsheets looks gorgeous! It’s a cat-o’-nine-tails with thick braided falls that each end in a tip similar to those on riding crops. The falls are heavier and so deliver a fiercer bite when used on willing flesh. This will take your punishment play up to the next level perfectly. It has a comfort-grip bubble handle and a wrist loop for extra control and for hanging storage. The dramatic red and black falls look amazing and certainly give you that extra sting that you’re aching for.

  • Vegan/vegetarian friendly materials
  • Heavier tails
  • Next step for impact play

  • Not for beginners
  • Not leather
Saffron Braided SM Whip
Length23 inches
MaterialsFaux (polyurethane PU) Leather Strap, ABS Plastic, Nylon

The Saffron Braided flogger By Sportsheets is a step in the right direction for those who want more intense impact play. This flogger is not for beginners. Its falls are heavier, delivering a deliciously sharp bite. The materials are aimed at those who prefer their BDSM equipment to be vegan/vegetarian friendly. So, if you want to up your game yet still deliver teasing strokes then this one is for you.

11 w. spikes

20" Thong Whip w/ Spiked Tails

 20" Thong Whip

  • Enjoy impact play
  • Want a combination of leather and spikes
  • Need a teasing toy

20" Thong Whip

  • Are vegan
  • Want more spikes
  • Require a wrist loop

Our next whip with spikes goes a little bit heavier on the leather (and a little lighter on the spikes). Sounds like a drawback? Think again! The inclusion of more leather means this spike whip will be able to handle harder impact play. Don’t worry though, as you’ll still be able to tickle and tease your partner by running this spiked chain whip across their skin for a tantalizing effect. Made with genuine leather and designed to excite, the 20” Thing Whip w/ Spiked Tails is definitely one you’ll want to add to your dungeon!

  • Good for impact play
  • Uses genuine leather
  • Integrated D-ring

  • Short handle
  • Lacks wrist loop
20" Thong Whip
MaterialsMetal, leather
Length(Falls) 16 inches, (Handle) 4 inches
TextureRough

If you’re looking for an all metal whip then this spiked whip isn’t it. However, if you’re looking for something that’s a bit more heavy-duty for rougher impact play, this spiked whip is a worthy contender. The 4” handle is a bit short for our liking, but it does come with an integrated D-ring, which will allow you to add your choice of wrist loop to the toy. The falls of the whip itself measure 16” a piece, tipped with silver metal spikes for that extra bit of sting with each swing. Really, our only complaint with this whip is the price. At nearly $80, it’s not exactly the most budget-friendly option around. Even so, if you’re planning on using this little baddie every day, we’d argue that it’s still worth the investment!

12 Tickler

Sportsheets Midnight Jeweled Chained Tickler Flogger

 Sportsheets Midnight Jeweled Chained Tickler Flogger

  • Enjoy temperature play

This also makes it a perfect option for a lot of different levels of experience as it offers both gentle and harsh sensations. Feeling the sensation of the metal chain caressing your skin, tickling and teasing is an exquisite experience. The chain can be dipped in hot or cold water to add a different dimension to play. The jeweled accents add a luxurious look and feel to the whole tickler experience as well!

  • Chains are perfect for temperature play
  • Great for teasing sensation play
  • Can have quite a bite

  • Can be too harsh for whipping
Sportsheets Midnight Jeweled Chained Tickler Flogger
LengthChains: 12 inches
Materials76% Nickel Free Metal ; 8% cubic zirconia ; 8% copper ; 8% stannum

This metal chain tickler is a fabulous addition to anyone’s sex-play kit. It’s a great way to introduce sensation play into your sex life. Being able to cool down, and heat up the metal chains creates a totally different experience that will send you wild! The long ergonomic handle makes it easy to control and the jeweled accents really don’t hurt the overall aesthetic. It looks and feels super kinky and elegant at the same time! Beginners and experienced alike will love the variety of sensations that you can have from this simple toy. Although some reviewers have thoroughly enjoyed being spanked with the chains, they do warn that it can sting quite a bit. If you’re a beginner, remember to take it easy until you are used to the feel of it.

  • Low-intensity floggers can be used by beginners.
  • These let you build up your practice, figure out what your likes and dislikes are, and see if you’d like to venture into more stronger pain sensations.
  • Although sex whips can be used to tease, they can also cause more intense pain.

Benefits Of Using BDSM Whips

If you’re new to the whole concept of BDSM whips, you might have been itching to ask the question: why would people use BDSM whips? Well, the answer may either seem confusing or it may be quite simple to you, but I guarantee you that there are many reasons as to why people would want to use sex whips in their kinky session. So, let’s go over some of benefits there are to using BDSM whips.

Gadgets are always handy!

Gadgets are always handy! - Benefits Of Using BDSM Whips

Using a BDSM whip instead will also provide a more intense sting and let you put some more power in your lash.

Versatility is key!

Versatility is key! - Benefits Of Using BDSM Whips
Depending on the size and design of your chosen BDSM whip, you’re gonna be able to create both super gentle tickler-like sensations by dragging the tail or falls across some sensitive skin as part of sensation play OR make your partner’s skin burn and tingle from super intense (always consensual) lashings. The world is your oyster when you’re using a sex whip!

Expand Your Kinky Horizon

Expand Your Kinky Horizon - Benefits Of Using BDSM Whips
Kinkiness exists on a continuum and can be practiced at any intensity level. No matter where you are in your kinky journey, a BDSM whip is a great way to expand your horizon when it comes to BDSM and impact play. It’s a great tool to involve all kinds of kinky practices! It can elevate any (appropriate) sexual situation and doesn’t require any additional gadgets or prep.

It hurts so good...

It hurts so good... - Benefits Of Using BDSM Whips
Intense impact play always has the potential to be painful… in all the right ways. If you and your partner are practicing open communication at all times and are aware of each other’s limits, using a BDSM whip to explore your boundaries when it comes to that good kind of pain can feel really great!

Things to Consider Before Buying a BDSM Whip

So, let me guess. After reading all this you’re definitely thinking of getting a BDSM whip for yourself. Well, I’m here to guide you in making sure you get the right fit for you.

Design: Size & Shape

Design: Size & Shape - Things to Consider Before Buying a BDSM Whip
You’re going to want to make sure that you’re not overwhelming yourself with a BDSM whip that’s way to big for you. This doesn’t really have that much to do with how big it looks but moreso the effect. A bigger and longer sex whip will allow you to take bigger swings that pack a lot more power with the help of basic aerodynamics! A smaller and short whip may give you more control over where your lashing land but there’s a clear limit to how much force you can comfortably put in those swings. The shape of the tail or falls will also have a lot to say here. Slimmer and longer ends will more often create a stingy sensation where broader and flatter falls on a flogger, for example, feel much more thuddy and relatively comfortable.

Materials

Materials - Things to Consider Before Buying a BDSM Whip
The material of your BDSM whip will also have a lot to do with the sensation it creates when you’re going to town on your partner with it. Leather is a staple in the world of BDSM toys for a reason! It can feel soft and comfortable but the right shape and size will be able to send a sharp pain to your skin. Silicone also varies like this, although sometimes silicone can feel a bit “grippy” and not as sleek. Although silicone BDSM whips are super easy to clean and maintain. Metal is definitely a material that is more suitable for advanced kinksters when it comes to intense impact play. A metal BDSM whip can pack a scary punch. Always exercise caution when using metal whip and floggers. But metal is also a great material for not-so-advanced kinksters to use for less intense play, since the metal is great for sensation play. In this way metal ticklers can be great choice for all levels of experience.

Style

Style - Things to Consider Before Buying a BDSM Whip
Even though BDSM whip is a term that can be used interchangeably to refer to sex whips, floggers, riding crops, or other impact toys, it is necessary to distinguish between the different styles of impact toys when you’re considering which one to purchase. Because of the basic differences between floggers and whips that I’ve expanded upon in the sections above, there’s a clear recommendation. Usually it will be safer for beginner to intermediate users to start ourt with floggers made of leather or flexible silicone. Generally, the styles of toys that generate more “thuddy” sensations are great for this level. Experienced and advanced kinksters are more suited for using larger and longer whips and riding crops, since the stingy sensations can be overwhelmingly sharp. Experimentation with these sensations requires a great deal of experience in navigating sensitive spaces of communication.

How to Use a BDSM Whip

Let’s go over a few different ways to use different kinds of BDSM whips depending on your experience level.

Safety First!

Safety First!

It’s very tempting to buy a new toy and want to use it straight away! We understand! However, before you get carried away there are some tips on BDSM for beginners that you need to follow.

  • Consent is key! Make sure that all involved are ready and willing to play.
  • Practice on an inanimate object first – a pillow or cushion.
  • Every flogger is different and you need to practice your aim and test the intensity of your new toy.
  • Agree on a safe words or safe gesture that will stop the activity immediately. These are an essential part of play. They’re for your safety and cannot be skipped over. You can have a word or action to stop play completely and one to slow things down.
  • Don’t hit too hard or too frequently.
  • Stick to safe areas such as the buttocks, back of the thighs if you are a beginner.
  • Never hit the spine, kidneys or any other vital organs.

Which body parts?

Which body parts?

  • For beginners, we suggest that you start with the soft and squishy buttocks.
  • Always avoid the tailbone, spine, kidneys, face and neck, regardless of experience.
  • Be gentle on breasts, soles of feet, calves and genitals.
 

Types of flogger

Types of flogger

  • To begin with, try a flogger with shorter tails.
  • Work up to floggers with longer tails, knotted tails, braids or beads.
  • Floggers come in a variety of materials. To start with choose something softer to begin with – suede or faux-fur.
  • With practice you can move onto leather, faux-leather, rubber or even chain.
  • Give yourself time to find out what each flogger can do.

Let's begin!

Let's begin!

  • Decide on the position of the flogg-ee. Over the knee, on all fours, standing, lying down restrained?
  • Warm up the part that you’re going to flog. If your hands are cold, rub them together, then give those buttocks a massage and a squeeze.
  • Gently run the flogger over your partner’s body, let them get used to the feel of it on their skin. Build up the anticipation.
  • Remember to start gently and build up the intensity.

Techniques

Techniques

There are some basic flogging techniques:

  • Back and forth – step back and gently sway the flogger backwards and forwards across the buttocks. Just using the bottom 1/4 of the falls if you are using longer falls.
  • If you’re too close then the falls can wrap around the body which isn’t that pleasant.
  • Circle or pinwheel – swing the flogger around in a downwards circle that catches the buttocks with the falls.
  • Figure 8 – swing the flogger in a figure 8 motion, catching the buttocks on the downwards stroke either side. This can also be reversed to catch the buttocks on the upward stroke.
  • Flick – grab the falls all in one hand, you can twist them too, then intentionally flick the bottom.
  • The back and forth and figure 8 are great warm up strokes, but the flick is more intense
  • When you’re more practiced, move onto the Florentine or the two-handed figure of 8.
  • The aim is to vary the sensation.
  • Always practice on a pillow before moving on to using a flogger on a person.

Using whips

Using whips

BDSM whips or sexual whips look incredible, but they should only be used by advanced BDSM practitioners.

  • BDSM whips can inflict intense pain and damage on a person so need to be used only by experts.
  • If you’re experienced and want to learn about BDSM whips take a look at flicker whips or dragon tails.
  • These sex whips are easier to control, easier to learn and are less likely to inflict serious pain or damage.
Of course, you’ll need to practice A LOT on pillows and other inanimate objects first. Flicker whips
  • More rigid, so easier to master and control
  • Intense and stingy pain, but less so than traditional sex whips.
Dragon Tail
  • Just a handle and a tail that finishes at a point.
  • Easier to control and handle than traditional sex whips.
  • Still stings hellishly for higher impact play.
  • Made from soft suede or soft leather.

How to Clean BDSM Whips

It is important to clean your sex whips and floggers after each use. As most of them are made from porous materials, they can harbour bacteria, so it is really important to get them cleaned up. If your flogger is 100% waterproof and made of silicone, then a good wash in hot soapy water, then air-dried, will be all that it needs. Other materials, such as PVC, nylon, faux leather can be wiped down with hot, soapy water or antibacterial toy wipes. Leather and suede need a different kind of care. If the leather becomes wet, then blot it with paper towels and let it dry naturally. If a cleaner is needed, then use one specifically made for leather. Leather will need to be conditioned occasionally to keep it supple, and after it has been cleaned. Again, use one specifically for leather. If you need to sterilize, or remove mildew from your leather flogger or BDSM whip, then mix equal parts of rubbing alcohol and water. Spray this mixture onto the leather in a fine mist or wet a soft cloth with it. Gently wipe the surfaces and allow it to dry naturally. Suede can be cleaned with a product made specifically for it.

FAQ

There are so many different types of floggers available. Think about the type of sensation that you would like. If you want something soft and 'thuddy', then go for a fabric, or suede flogger, with lots of wider falls. If you prefer a sting, then go for a flogger with thinner and fewer falls.

Yes. You need to be aware of your own comfort and be able to communicate when you'd like to slow down or stop. This is where safewords are essential - even if you are only lightly playing. Floggers can be used to tease and tickle and for you to feel different types of sensations on your body, they don't have to be painful.

First of all, practice your techniques on a pillow. Every flogger is different in weight, materials and length and number of tails. So get some practice in so you know how to be gentle and teasing and sharper. Then, start off gently and slowly build-up. Make sure your partner has a safe word so you know when to ease back or stop.

It varies from person to person. Aftercare is something that eases the transition from BDSM play to normal life. BDSM can be very intense and immersive and you will likely need some time to both come down from it. Aftercare can take the form of cuddling, talking, being wrapped up in a blanket, drinking water and snacks, watching a movie, sleeping together. You can go over what happened and talk about what was good, what you'd like to change. It's a time to bring your minds back to reality.

Lots of places! Look through our review and you'll find links to lots of different online shops that sell BDSM whips.

What is a Sexual BDSM whip?

A BDSM whip is tool most commonly used in impact play. It can refer to anything like a flogger, tickler, crop and actual sex whips. The term is used interchangeably, so it can get a little confusing. It's basically anything that can be used to spank, cane, flog or whip a person at different intensities in order to elicit different sensations. The sensations you feel will vary from tickling to teasing to experiencing pain like a 'thud' or a 'sting' that can be mild or intense. It all depends on what you are using and how you are using it.
