Leather all the way. The smell is so arousing in and of itself, not to mention the trademark sting! Heehee. I'm such a leather-slut. The smell of rubber just isn't the same...

I'm not experienced enough in physical BDSM to say but I must remark - EF seems to severely lack actual whips. What's up with that?

Leather is the way to go on this one the smell and feel are much more arousing than rubber, I mean just running it over a submissive's skin gets fantastic results.

I love leather. Always have, always will. I've tried rubber and enjoy it (because I can personally work any product), but I'm a leather guy, all the way. The smell and feel of it is so perfect.

Cat among the pigeons here... I would say, totally subjectively, the difference for me between leather and rubber (given there are many different types of both), is that leather has a natural warmth that rubber lacks. Rubber definitely creates a harsher sensation than leather, and I'm specifically thinking about flat sheet rubber, not the pink spaghettini stuff, but it also has a more impersonal feel, an indifference to the skin that I don't feel with leather, even pretty hard leathers. For example, rubber doesn't caress the skin like leather does - maybe because leather *is* skin, while rubber is extruded in vats in some hideous chemical alley. It seems to me that rubber creates a distance between the top and bottom, whereas leather is more connective, and depending on where and what you want to play, you would choose one or the other.

I agree 100%! There is nothing like leather.

I'm into suede or softer skins like lambskin. Leather is okay, but it's usually made rough/scratchy. I prefer soft and sensual toys.

Depends on the type of rubber that is used for the flogger. I like floggers with thick rubber falls, not the thin circular falls. I use leather floggers but would love a thick rubber flogger in my toy bag as well.

Leather is the best, the smell, the feel of it dragging against you skin, the deep heavy thud it can produce, having to clean it after Daddy or Ma'am have beaten you with it.. yum.

Rubber has it's place too though, particularly when looking for a nasty sting for punishment, or as soothing relief of the cool rubber on your bright red flesh after a heavy session.

Leather, forever. Especially suede, which is soft at first, but then the betrayal!

I am very partial to leather. Love, love, love the smell of leather. One of the most arousing smells and love the feel of it on my skin.

leather. suede, whatever. I like thuddy (double ended tails!) and rubber is often too stingy for me. Still experimenting though, and I love the aesthetics of some floggers and would love to use or own them though wouldn't want them to be used on me.

I prefer something with softer material such as suede, but leather is cool, too.

Do you like having a tail that can also flog you? Think it doesn't work?
Here we'll comment on what we think of these.

Anything with rough, unfinished tails would hurt the most like the Hearts Leather Flogger. While the whip could hurt, it would only hurt because of lack of experience using it - most whips shouldn't "actually" be whipped on a human body for play.

It might depend on how hard you whip your "victim."

I haven't tried any but I'm sure it depends on how hard you use them. The ruff doggie whip looks like it'd be painful.

What's appropriate for your back and butt may not be so good for your breasts and genitals.
Which one do you like for using in these other locations?
