Which is better to choose
Choosing the right flogger for you will not be as difficult as it might seem after getting acquainted with the species. Most couples have more than one such toy in their arsenal, so you can not limit yourself, but buy several of your favorites at once.
For starters, pay attention to the handle. Traditional instruments have wicker handles made of leather, and there are also wooden handles. It is best to choose them in a specialty store, where they will let you touch and hold the floggers, as you need to understand and feel how the handle feels in your hand, whether the tails outweigh. You also need to choose the diameter of the handle and understand which one is more comfortable in your hand and which one is more convenient for you to hold. It will be impossible to do this by choosing whips over the Internet, so it is best to go to the nearest sex shop and choose what you will definitely like and like.
Now pay attention to the tool tails. If you want longer ones, then keep in mind that they move in a large arc and it takes a lot of effort to swing and hit your partner so that he can feel the impact. If you are a beginner, then it is best to give your preference to short tails, as this way you will have more precise control over your movements and the force that needs to be applied. Also, a flogger with short tails is perfect for tight spaces with a low ceiling, since you don’t have to swing much.
As for the material, it is better to give preference to the classics, namely leather. Thus, the sensations will be much brighter and better than when using others. But if you are just starting out, then it is better to choose something softer. It can be velvet or suede. It is better to consult with a store consultant, as he will help you choose the perfect flogger based on all your preferences.
All floggers feel different. At first, you will have to experiment a lot to find the one that suits you and your partner completely. It is not necessary that he be alone. You may like several options. You can buy several and alternate them so as not to get used to the sensations. Now you know exactly what a flogger is.
