Bondage Boutique Advanced Extra Long Suede Flogger

 Bondage Boutique Suede Flogger

  • Want a easy to use suede flogger
  • Like the naturally soft feel of suede
  • Are looking for a flogger with a wrist loop

Bondage Boutique Suede Flogger

  • Want something a little more harsh
  • Are looking for a shorter flogger
  • Don't really need a wrist loop

Bigger and bolder than our intermediate suede whip, the extra-long tails on this flogger give a wider range of impact for increased sensations. Added weight also increases the intensity of each swing, varying your lover’s cries from a whimper to a scream. Trail the tails over bare flesh to excite the nerve-endings and make them super-sensitive, or bring the pain and swing that whip against the fleshiest parts of their body for a deliciously different feeling.

  • Studded handle
  • Wrist loop
  • Nice and long

  • Too soft for some
  • May feel overly long
Bondage Boutique Suede Flogger
MaterialsSuede
Length17.5 inches
WaterproofNo

The Bondage Boutique Advanced Extra Long Suede Flogger is a great all-round flogger for a variety of reasons. Not only does the suede feel fantastic and soft, but the tails of the flogger are nice and long, allowing it to have a good ‘swish’ to it. It also has a studded handle, which feels great in your hand and ensures that you get a good grip on it. The wrist loop at the bottom also helps keep it in your hand, so you don’t drop it. Some may find the Bondage Boutique Advanced Extra Long Suede Flogger to be a little TOO long, especially if they want a flogger that they can control more directly. Other than that, though, I can’t really see too many downsides to this beauty of a flogger!

It’s a perfect size and design for more heavy-duty scenarios, but at the same time, it’s designed to feel comfortable around the wrist, and the impact it provides is not extremely strong. So you are in intermediate impact play, this is a perfect choice, but if you prefer something more extreme, you might want to look at some whips!

6 Braided

Sportsheets Saffron Faux Leather Braided Flogger

 Saffron Faux Leather Braided Flogger

  • want to experiment with a braided flogger for the first time
  • need a vegan-friendly braided flogger
  • need an extra long flogger
  • want a super lightweight flogger

Saffron Faux Leather Braided Flogger

  • want a small, compact flogger for travel purposes
  • want a heavyweight flogger

This Saffron Faux Leather beaded flogger is a little unique: not only is it super lightweight, making it ideal for those with limited hand strength, but the braided fronds make for varied sensations during any lashing or punishment play. The braided fronds are made with soft faux leather, while the sturdy, bubbled handle provides an extra firm grip for those who want a secure hold on their flogger. This flogger is also ideal if you’re looking for a super long flogger: at 24 inches in length, it’s not particularly travel-friendly, but ideal as a long flogger for body tickling and lashing.

  • Beaded design for enhanced sensations
  • Ideal for punishment
  • Super lightweight
  • Vegan-friendly
  • Long flogger
  • Wrist strap for secure grip

  • Some users find this flogger too lightweight - you might need to exercise slightly more force to get this flogger to thwack correctly
  • Bubble handle might be fiddly for some
Saffron Faux Leather Braided Flogger
Length24 inches
MaterialsVegan-friendly leather

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.

7 Elk Hide

30" Elk Hide Flogger

 30" Elk Hide Flogger

  • want to experiment with an elk flogger
  • want a super long flogger
  • prefer a flogger that makes a sharp noise upon contact

30" Elk Hide Flogger

  • are a beginner - this flogger is more suited to advanced users

This elk hide flogger is not for beginner users – at 30 inches in length, this toy is best suited to dominants and dominatrixes! The elk hide has been dyed black for that ultra-authentic BDSM look, while the fronds are spongy and thick for maximum sensations upon contact. The intricately detailed handle is made with Nylon cords for a tight grip, while the accompanying leather wristband provides a secure hold during play. Given its formidable length, this flogger is ideal for punishment play and perfect if you love a good thudding noise from your flogger. Certainly a luxe pick for a seasoned BDSM enthusiast, this flogger is also a pretty pricey investment, coming in at under $200.

  • Thudding contact sound
  • Thick, elk hide fronds
  • 30 inches long
  • Wrist strap for easy grip
  • Available in various colors

Made with luxury elk hide, this flogger makes for a a gorgeous statement piece in any BDSM dungeon, and is ideal for some fun punishment play with a sub. Given its length, this flogger is not suitable for beginners – it’s so long you’d trip over it trying to figure out how to use it! There are a couple of other things to note with this toy: it’s important to keep leather cleaner away from it to prevent damaging the hide, and it’s important to keep it free from dirt and bacteria, as the material is delicate and can can deteriorate if not properly looked after.

8 Dildo

Icicles No 38 Glass Dildo with Leather Flogger

9 Metal

Glam Flogger - Steel Spanker

 Glam Flogger - Steel Spanker

  • love sensation play
  • want a metal flogger for teasing purposes
  • want to tantalize your partner with hot and cold temperature play

Glam Flogger - Steel Spanker

  • want a flogger for punishment play
  • don't like "glam" aesthetics
  • prefer a beginner's flogger

If you love teasing during your BDSM sessions, or if you’re simply just a curious beginner interested in sensation play, this metal flogger is ideal for testing the waters. This spanking toy is amazing when combined with temperature play, as it comes with thin, long metal chains for more intense sensations – dip them in warm or cold water to drive your partner wild and build arousal. This metal flogger isn’t a traditional leather flogger – it’s not a spanking paddle, but it has its place in any BDSM toy box nonetheless. Reserve this chain flogger for the sessions where you feel like playing nice – at least for a while!

  • Temperature-sensitive
  • Ideal for slow-building arousal
  • Perfect for teasing

  • Not ideal if you're looking for a flogger for thudding sounds or general spanking
  • Might be on the heavy side, so unsuitable if you have strength issues in your hands
Glam Flogger - Steel Spanker
MaterialsMetal
Length17.3 inches

This metal flogger might look intimidating with its 150 metal balls, but it’s actually one of the most beginner-friendly toys in this round-up. It’s not a sex flogger designed for pain play or punishment, so it’s ideal for a BDSM newbie to try their hand at temperature play and sensation play. Use this metal flogger by running the metal balls along your partner’s skin either warm or cold – you’ll build arousal and heighten sensations, while your partner will enjoy the smooth feel of the metal balls and the thrilling sensations of sublime submission!

10 Finger

Finger Flogger Grip

 Finger Flogger Grip

  • prefer holding your floggers with a finger
  • like the idea of having one flogger in each hand
  • have mobility issues in your hands or fingers
  • struggle to hold heavier floggers or struggle to maintain a grip on floggers
  • want versatility in your flogger collection

Finger Flogger Grip

  • prefer to use a flogger the traditional way

If you’ve never used a finger flogger before, it might just be your new go-to method for spanking and punishment play! Using a finger flogger means that your movements are swifter and easier, especially if you struggle with sensitivity or mobility in your fingers, or if you struggle to maintain a grip on your flogger. Finger floggers are also great for simply adding flair to your movements! This finger flogger grip by The Stockroom is compatible with all Stockroom flogger heads and is perfect for versatile play. Simply attach your chosen interchangeable flogger head and you’re ready to go! The diameter of this finger flogger is 2 inches, so it’ll fit most fingers with some considerable wiggle room for most.    

  • Ideal for versatility
  • Great if you have limited hand strength
  • Adds flair to your movements
  • Roomy diameter - space for most sized fingers

  • Might not fit other brand flogger heads
  • Need to buy the flogger head separately
  • More costly than a traditional flogger
Finger Flogger Grip
Length6.5 inches
Diameter2 inches
Width2 inches
Weight0.25 lbs

Using a finger flogger is a great alternative for those who don’t have the hand strength or grip to hold onto a flogger for long periods of time; it’s also a great way to diversify your flogger collection with various adjustable heads. This finger flogger is comfortable to wear, with 2 inches in internal diameter leaving enough space for most fingers, as well as enough room to ensure that it remains comfortable during play. This toy will add a rapidity to your spanking that itsn’t possible when using your hands – why not put one of these finger floggers on each hand for some hardcore punishment play? One downside to this finger flogger is the price – for the same price (or even for less) you can find traditional with the same quality of design. Nonetheless, if you value versatility and flair, this finger flogger is ideal.

 KinkLab Electro-Whip

  • are into electrosex
  • have experience using wand attachments already
  • love shocks and stings from your flogger
  • have a KinkLab wand already

KinkLab Electro-Whip

  • don't own a magic wand vibrator and don't plan on buying one
  • want a flogger for gentle impact and teasing sensations

If you own a wand massager, you might already be aware that you can enhance the wand experience with some fun wand attachments. However, you might not have been aware that you can even use your wand vibrator to enhance your BDSM fun with a flogger! Introducing the KinkLab Electro-Whip wand attachment: this BDSM flogger attaches itself to the head of any compatible KinkLab magic wand, providing elctroshock sensations and some serious stinging! This electric flogger isn’t suitable for beginners, so if you’re new to the concept of electrosex, you’ll want to get clued up before testing out this advanced sex toy.

  • Shocks and stings
  • Compatible with most wands
  • Various intensity settings
  • 10-tail mini flogger

MaterialsHighly-conductive silicone rubber
Length12 inches
Width0.25 inches
WaterproofNo

If you’re a seasoned fan of the classic magic wand, you’ll be sure to enjoy the intense electro-shock sensation from this flogger wand attachment. The good news is that this attachment should be compatible with most full-sized magic wands, so you shouldn’t need to invest in a new wand to enjoy this toy. Note: this is not a beginner-friendly flogger. It’s important to be careful when using this attachment, and I wouldn’t recommend using this if you’ve never used a wand attachment before. Keep this flogger away from water when using it with your magic wand.

20" Thong Whip with Spiked Tails

 20" Thong Whip

  • enjoy extreme pain play
  • are an advanced-level BDSM enthusiast
  • have lots of experience using floggers for sensation play
  • love pushing your limits

20" Thong Whip

  • dislike the idea of spiked metal on bare skin
  • don't want to experiment with pain play
  • have sensitive skin

This 20″ Thong Whip with spiked tails is the most extreme and advanced-level flogger in our round-up: this toy is absolutely not for beginners, and should be used carefully! This flogger has 12 strands of authentic black leather and each is adorned with a spiky metal tail – perfect for stinging if you’re into punishment play! If you’re not into pain-play, you can also use these metal spikes to slowly drag along the skin for enhanced sensations. At 20 inches long, you’re sure to have fun with this toy – it even comes with a D-ring which is perfect for adding to a belt for easy access during play.

  • Metal spikes for stinging pain-play
  • Ideal for advanced-level users
  • D-ring for easy belt attachment
  • Authentic BDSM look

  • Not for beginners
20" Thong Whip
Length20 inches
MaterialsLeather (Fronds) Metal (D-ring)

If you’re an advanced level BDSM practitioner, this spiked flogger could provide some thrilling and exhilerating sensation play – but it’s certainly not for novices! You could also use this flogger for pain-play if you’re into that kind of thing – but you’ll need to be careful with this toy. The metal spikes at the end of the leather strands could easily puncture the skin and cause some discomfort if not used correctly – and not the good kind of discomfort! However, if you’re a fan of the authentic BDSM look, this 100% real leather flogger could make for an advanced addition to your flogger collection.

13

Multi-Loop Flogger

 Multi-Loop Flogger

  • want a flogger that provides a strong stinging sensation
  • want a versatile flogger

Multi-Loop Flogger

  • prefer a lightweight flogger for tickling and sensation play
  • want a more versatile flogger
  • need a smaller handle

If you love when a flogger makes an impressive thwack sound, you’ll love this multi-loop toy. While it’s not particularly effective for delicate sensartion play, this toy is ideal for when you want to delve into some more hardcore punishment play – whether you’re looking for thudding spanks or some rapid stinging. The handle of this toy is pretty long, at 7.5 inches, so if you don’t want a large handle it might not be your best pick. This sex flogger is made up of ten rubber loops which are flexible and pliant, and ideal for hitting gently or engaging in some more hardcore pain play.

  • Ideal for pain play
  • Long handle
  • Great contact sound

  • Not particularly useful for sensation play or dragging on the skin
  • Not particularly versatile
  • Might sting too much for beginners
Multi-Loop Flogger
Length10 inches
MaterialsRubber, hard plasticFor

For those who love the M in BDSM, this flogger is great for fulfilling all your pain-play fantasies! If you’re a beginner, you might find that this flogger stings a little too much even when used gently, so we’d recommended this flogger more for intermediate to advanced BDSM enthusiasts. One downside to this toy is its lack of versatility – you can’t use it very much for sensation play or tickling, as the rubber loops serve mostly for thwacking and stinging. Nonetheless, this toy makes for a great addition for when you want to up the intesity during your BDSM sessions.

Sex toys can be expensive – if you’ve not got the spare cash to splash on a new flogger, there are some DIY alternatives that can come in useful when you want to spice things up in the bedroom without emptying your wallet. Here are some tips on making your own DIY flogger:

DIY Paracord Flogger

DIY Paracord Flogger -  Make Your Own Flogger at Home
If you want to make your own DIY flogger, a paracord flogger is one of the easiest to attempt. Here I’ll go over the main principles and tools you’ll need for making a DIY Paracord flogger at home, but for more detailed instructions, take a look at Isabelle’s blog post. What you’ll need to make this DIY toy:
  • A metal or wood ring
  • Paracord
  • Electrical tape or some slim cords
  • Scissors
  • Glue (suitable for textile use)
How to make a DIY paracord flogger:
  • Cut the paracord into numerous sections, each one uniform in size
  • Push each strand through the wooden or metal loop
  • Using tape, tie firmly the paracord just underneath the wooden loop, making sure it stays in place
  • Wrap the cord around the paracord until you have something that resembles a handle
  • Using the extra paracord, braid it around the handle to make your DIY flogger a little sturdier
  • Create a knot and trim the cord so that the strands are uniform
  • You have your paracord flogger!
 

DIY Leather (or faux leather) flogger

  • To make the fronds for your leather flogger, cut out uniform strips of leather from your leather fabric, just underneath the rectangle for your handle. Around 0.5 inches in size should do
  • Apply glue to the rectangle where you’re going to attach the wooden handle
  • Get rolling! Roll the wooden handle along the leather fabric
  • Create a handle for your leather flogger with the remaining leather fabric (more details in Isabelle’s post)

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.
Always consider the preferences, needs and endurance of the person(s) the flogger will be used on when picking one out. A big, muscular sub who loves heavy thud will like a weighted, fifty-fall flogger much more than a small, thin sub who prefers lighter impacts or sting.

Using the Right Technique

Swinging a flogger is mostly in the wrist, though the design of the handle may alter this somewhat. For example, a swivel flogger has hardware that lets the falls rotate, saving effort and allowing more precision. Floggers with finger loops do the same, and are often sold and wielded in pairs. Finally, ball-handle floggers rotate in your palm, helping to save your joints and conserve energy. You can “snap” a flogger like a short BDSM whip, by flicking it forward suddenly, providing a stingier sensation with the very tips of the falls. For a heavier, thuddier sensation, use the whole length of the falls against your sub’s flesh. Stand over or beside your sub and swing the flogger in a vertical, upward or downward arc, delivering the blow with your wrist. The motion should be basically circular; avoid side blows as they can cause the falls to “wrap” and cause unintentional pain or harm. “Wrapping” happens when the tips of a flogger wrap around the sub’s limb or body during a strike, hitting them in a manner and location you didn’t intend. Like hitting someone in the head, neck, spine, joints or over the kidneys, this is something to be carefully avoided. It’s best to practice on a pillow or similar to build confidence and aim before graduating to flogging your play partner. Aftercare for flogger play is generally simple, as the play may not even leave marks unless something’s gone wrong. This varies with the intensity of the scene, of course. As always, discuss the scene with your play partner(s) beforehand, make sure you have a safeword in place, and have your first aid kit and a phone handy in case of mishaps.

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

For sensation play, you can use a gentle flogger on most parts of the body. When it comes to lashing and spanking, floggers are typically used on the back and buttocks, although some BDSM enthusiasts use them on the more delicate parts of the body. We would advise you to avoid delicate parts of the body when using a flogger if you're inexperienced and always start gently when experimenting with lashing.

Anyone! There's no one type of person that is exclusively allowed to use suede floggers. Whether you're male, female, straight, gay, or anything in between, you can ALL enjoy using a suede flogger (or having one used on you!)

That is probably because of the heat and general usage of them. As the tails warm up over time, they start to stretch or shrink a little. So while they may start out at the exact same length, they will probably change. But don't worry - this is completely normal.

Some floggers are made with vegan-friendly PU leather, but always make sure to check the product details before purchasing: some floggers will use faux leather but not be fully 100% vegan.

Shop around! Toy shopping is a great activity to do with your partner. Doing so in person in a local shop will give you a chance to ask questions, and maybe even test the sensations conveyed by each type of flogger to figure out what turns you on the most.

Because floggers distribute impact over a wider area, and can be made of softer materials, they are a good starter toy for those who are still figuring out how hard they should (or want to be) hit, and where. Newcomers can use suede, cloth or soft leather floggers to explore pain play much more safely than if they start out with, say, a rubber whip or a cane.

Thud and sting refer to the two basic sensations in impact play. Thud is a deeper, broader impact, which causes less surface pain but can also involve deep muscles and nerves. Sting on the other hand is largely surface pain, providing a much sharper sensation. Thuddy toys, like deerskin floggers, are less likely to leave marks, but may bruise if swung hard enough. Stingy toys, like oiled leather floggers, are more likely to leave marks or even break skin.

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.
