What is a whip used for?
The whip is, so to speak, a percussion instrument. You can use it wonderfully in impact play. It belongs to the SM toys that are used for chastisement. Depending on the type of SM whip you choose, you can use it for light, exciting slaps or for painful strokes.
The crop is part of the standard equipment of every dominatrix, Often it is the means with which she greets her subs. Blows are one possible use. But you can even distribute strokes with a crop. So there are soft and hard uses. Feel free to be creative yourself and discover for yourself how you prefer to use the crop.
What types are there?
There are many types of riding crop. However, a distinction is made between practical purpose and decorative purpose.
The practical crop
The practical crop is the normal riding crop. It is also called a jumping crop. It has a fairly short handle, about 30 cm flexible rod and a small paddle / swatter at the end. Handy, practical, painful. The blows with such a crop cause a burning pain.
The decorative crop
The decorative crop is quite individual. It comes in different lengths with different claps. The handle can also have beautiful decorations. For example, the swat itself can have the shape of a heart or even a hand. Great advantage of such beautiful ornamental crops is that they leave a great imprint on the bare skin. The effect is the same as with the conventional riding crop / leather crop.
The flap
A riding crop has a flap? What is the flap? Flap in this case is simply another word for swat / paddle. The flap is what hits the skin when struck and leaves corresponding marks. Depending on whether it is a simple tab or a nicely shaped tab, the imprints can look very aesthetically pleasing. A heart-shaped impression or even a rose-shaped impression can almost be called a work of art.
Where are the differences in the crops?
As already described, there are differences in the flaps. In addition, there are crops in different lengths. Depending on how long and flexible the rod is, the force of impact is determined. Some paddles are gentle, others really sharp!
There are also differences in the materials. Leather whips are the most commonly used. But there are also whips made of plastic. The material makes differences on the skin. Plastic feels different than leather.

What do I have to consider when using a riding crop?
When you use a crop, you have to do it with a lot of sensitivity. You can't just go for it! Study the human anatomy beforehand. There are taboo areas that should never be hit with a whip. There are the joints, face and neck.
Also the parts of the body where there are few muscles and you hit almost directly on bones should be spared. Kidney punches are also not allowed.
Intimate areas may be worked on with the crop, but in a gentle way. Only light pats that do not really leave pressure or pain are allowed.
The crop may only be used at the intensity discussed in advance with the bottom.

Which do you like better? Sturdy leather or simple plastic?
