My partner and I have recently started experimenting with BDSM, and we've both expressed interest in getting a flogger. So far we've only tried spanking in terms of impact play, so that's not much to go off of in choosing a flogger, lol. I don't have a very high pain tolerance by any stretch, and I'm not a fan of stingier sensations.

I've done some research on flogger materials and whatnot, and am currently on the fence between deer and elk. I know they're both pretty soft and thuddy materials, but I'm not sure which would be a better fit- I'm leaning more towards deer, but I'm worried it might be too gentle?

I was thinking to get one with about 30-40 tails to eliminate sting (I’m looking at getting it from either Bare Leather Works or DeTails), but am unsure of what length to get- something around 13", or 18"?

Beginner recommendations on the web seem to be all over the place, with some people recommending short 9" floggers, while others say 21" lol. I know it's all down to personal preference, but since my partner and I have never tried flogging/whipping, we don't have much to work with.

Any recommendations/tips?

Try passioncraftstore. The highest quality bdsm flogger and not cheap, but they are worth it if you are looking for something good. I have a bunch of theirs, and in the 2 years I've had them, they haven't broken or anything

I definitely like the theme of bdsm toys. I would like to try bdsm games using a strap-on.
