Can anyone give us some advice on single tail whips? Master is very interested in them (as am I hehe) The best size to get first off etc and who can recommend a good reliable supplier ?? Is there anyone going to lovetrix that would be willing to show Master and I a little domonstration maybe??? and perhaps some guidance?

http://www.cobrawhips.com/ Pretty much all you need to know! My cat has a single tail, mind, and he's not afraid to use it. He prefers to be paid in tuna, though. why poison your liver when I could eat it for you? | |

There will be Mel & tony from Essentia whips there as well as a few others that could show you the ropes so to speak! Damien Just found out that they wont be there, so send them a memo either on here or e-mail from the sight http://www.essentiawhips.co.uk/

Indeed Alex at Cobra Whips is a true whip Master in both making and using of them. We have one of his whips and it is the most beautiful and sexy one we own. His skill with the whip is also amazing. Miss Cameo Miss Cameo - London Dominatrix www.misscameo.com | |

Yes, indeed, I've met Alex a few times and been very impressed. My single tail is from Mike Murphy, of Murphys whips in Australia,
and is the signature 16 plait 4' snake - anything longer than that is tricky to use indoors, as of course you need to allow more than twice the length of the whip to use it - and I've marked a few ceilings with it, too S. Todays morality is yesterdays expediency | |

I'll second the murphywhips suggestion. Their aussie whip supplies whips are damn good value - particulely the four foot bullwhip. It is very light and accurate - suits my style well. Cheers, Doug. | |

I've bought from Alex (check the lead time... it could be months and months, though the end product is great). I've also bought from Em-brand (Tasmania) several times and can thoroughly recommend him - Bernie, that is: http://www.em-brand-whips.com/. Well-priced whips (quirts and a signal in my case), utterly dependable, great communicator and lovely person. And I've bought from Victor Tella (US) - in fact my own whip is a 3-4 ft VT snake. Again, superb whip, slightly longer lead time than Em-brand. He seems to have several websites; they all seem to work! http://www.snakewhip.com/
I don't know whether anyone has any concerns about ordering from outside the EU, but for what it's worth I've had 5 whips delivered and never copped for import duty. That goes for all my other BDSM purchases from the States too. Mind, I did grin when the cute female postie delivered the last whip together with customs label stating 'leather whip'.
Oh yes, sorry - don't go for longer than a 4' if you're looking at indoor play. 16 plait gives strength and should loosen relatively quickly; the more plaits, the more immediately supple but will probably be slightly less resilient in the long run... but we're talking about the very long run here, unless you turn into manic obsessive whip hand and taker!
Enjoy! v_dr. | |

So much for pimping the cat then! I can't comment on many of the suppliers mentioned, but Alex is a top geeza and I have never, ever heard anyone grumble about his whips. Heard a few go 'fuggin 'ell, owww!' though. Self included! why poison your liver when I could eat it for you? | |

I've more than one whip from em-brand-whips and can't recommend them enough. Bernie is a fab guy and does amazing work. And Tony from Essentia whips does some lovely work too; don't have any of his but have admired one or two! capi My imaginary friend thinks that you have a problem |
