These floggers offer a softer spanking sensation as the force of the hit is distributed over a larger number of tails, as opposed to one concentrated surface as with canes or crops. Tip: When using a flogger, build up momentum by circling your wrist and aim to catch your partner's derrière with just the ends of the tails for a lighter, continuous spank, then gradually build-up, allowing more of the flogger to come into contact with the skin. Practising your aim on a cushion beforehand is a good place to start and develop a rhythm.
