What
is a Whip?
The
term, "whip" has taken on a generic meaning of anything
with which you can whip someone, or some thing. In
the BDSM world, “Cats” and
“Floggers” are often called
whips, while “proper” whips are likely to be called “single-tails.”
Fortunately, we offer Cats, Floggers, and single-tail
Whips -- as well as Paddles,
Straps, and Canes
and many other BDSM toys.
Strictly
speaking, whips have a single lash, which is usually braided
and tapered so that when “thrown,” the whip’s tip accelerates,
breaking the sound barrier, thereby making a loud cracking
noise. It is this sound ... the crack of the whip ...
that makes stockwhips
and bullwhips useful
for driving cattle and entertaining spectators.
Some
of the BDSM toys listed above are made for and imported by
us and meet our rigorous standards. Other whips and lashes
are made here in our Long Island workshop. Some whips are
brought in and then modified by us for your pleasure. We also
have a few whips which are unique to our workshop. This information
is included on each page, so you know what you are buying.
Some
whips have more choices to make than others. For example,
the Whipsicles have
choice of leathers as well as the tip configuration. Many,
but not all, of the whips can be slightly modified from the
original on request. Call for specifics if you have such need.
All
these whips are excellent values and will give you much pleasure
and satisfaction. Our warranty extends to all the whips, "foreign
and domestic" that we sell here.

sure to see the articles on Single Lash Whips in
The
