For Tops: Favorite Implement?
 

Tops: what is your very favorite implement (hand counts) to use when spanking?

Why?

It varies from person to person and spanking to spanking. Sometimes I like romantic spanking with my hand, sometimes I love hard discipline with wood. Sorry to be vague but there's just no one way to spank. If I HAD to pick one toy right now, I'd say wood because of the impact it makes.

I'm a wood guy myself, depending on the position. For OTK, I prefer a wooden hairbrush or a small type of paddle. Those little wooden toy paddles that used to come with a string and ball were perfect. However, the ones made today are either too flimsy or made of a light plastic and can't produce the sting of the older models.

For a bent over position, I prefer a larger paddle, more of a school or sorority type. However, I don't like the real heavy board type paddles. I prefer a lighter, thinner models that have more of a whiplash action as opposed to ones that land with a heavy, bruising thud.

If hand counts as an implement then I say hand! I love the feel of my palm landing smartly on an upturned bare bottom. Sure I liked to use the leather paddle, belt, hairbrush, and occasionally the cane when my partner craved or needed something more stringent but my hand could be loving yet very firm.

That's actually another key component. My ideal goal is a bottom that's rosy red. Not Black & blue from bruises, not welted from severe cane strokes. I know some spankees actually PREFER having "reminders" for a while afterwards, but I've learned how to use wood so that it gets the effect I want without the purple. That way, we can do it again sooner. ;)

I couldn't have said it better. Just what I prefer, also. And it gives me a topic for a new thread! Thanks. ;)

Inspiration. That's what we're all about. :)

Hand first, followed closely by the rattan.

Mhh, where did you get your rattan?

And why does the rattan rate so high on your personal scale?

I have a good friend in the local NY scene called Nyghtowl who handcrafts his own rattans. As far as canes go, rattan is the best material to work with, whether you prefer thick thuddy impact or thin stingy-as-all-get-out.
