I love flogging - the energy, intensity, feel, physicality - just everything about it. So, while I'm no flogger expert, I quite like floggers - stingy, thuddy, barbed, whatever! To be honest, I think the best bet is going to the markets and seeing how they feel in your hands. If you can't, you can't go wrong with either Jack's or Freak Clubwear - both their kit and customer service can't be beat. I recently bought a really lovely black suede flogger from Freak because it looked simply sooo very thuddy, but I've always had my eye on their UV range - so cool.

Floggers are one of my favourites. There are so many different types, which can give such a lot of very different sensations. You can get a lot of different sensations just from one flogger, depending how you use it. I would always recommend that you "Try before you buy". Floggers are like darts or gold clubs, they are very personal and not all floggers, even the best ones suit all people. You need to know that it feels and handles right for you. There are several good places to buy them from at the BBB, where You can handle and try them. Freak Clubwear are one of the better ones, Jack's and Quality Control are good too. One of the first thing that I ever bought when I came on the scene was a flogger off the Freak Clubwear girls and it's still going strong! They also sell some great little bags to keep them in. Gary.

Yep, seconded. In particular their 'thrifty perv' floggers are excellent value for money Opal "Toss off a builder, then write about it." | |||

I'm lucky as most of mine are from Jacks and I like them all for different reasons. To name a few... the thin rubber one is emmmm ideal for the private parts, the heavy sweade ones lovely for a warm up and the sound off the wish and heavy thud is music itself. The rubber ones stings, which I think you would expect.
If you are buying one then you need to feel it in your hands, feel the weight and balance of it and any good Dominate will try it to see how it feels on the skin to see what the flogger feels like anyway... don't they If you haven't used one before then I'd suggest practice on a pillow, sounds silly I know but at least it's safe and you carn't hurt anyone un-intentionally and remember to avoild the kidney area when you do start playing and that the whole body is a canvas.

Chunky leather falls can have a hard edge to them which can bite the skin if used in a certain way. You are able to inflict more pain and redness in a shorter time with a leather one. A suede one is softer on the skin and usually thuddier to the feel, but can be used just as hard on the skin without as much sting or redness.
As someone who has been on the receiving end of Jacks creations many times and I own quite a few too, I highly recommend getting yer bum down to LAM to feel the quality. ______________________________ | |||

We'll thank you, a lovely wee summary for me I'm actually quite tempted to try and make LAM, but it will probably be next month or the following before I get down. I'd love to get a chance to tests some of the toys I'm considering spending my hard earned pennies on. Plus its always nice to meet new people! So until then I'm considering a suede flogger, nice, simple, easy to use and I can't do too much damage... well not unintentionally XD. Cheers again | |||

I have learnt from the mistake of buying a not very good flogger or two in the past. It might have looked good when I viewed it on someone's stall in the halflight of a club, but pretty soon I realised that the quality wasn't good. Having used floggers now for a while, I would say that the best one I have bought so far was from Freak Clubwear. I have heard that Jack's Floggers and Freak Clubwear are about the best for floggers. | |||
