Isn't it advised to take it easy on the breasts too or am I making that all up in my head?

Yes they do. I practiced at the local dungeon for a few months on a spanking bench before I got the hang of throwing a flogger and felt comfortable with doing it. All floggers are different, too. Not all floggers are made the same and those using different floggers with different weights, lengths, etc. should always practice before real play no matter how long they've been participating in BDSM

Yes, it is. You don't want to damage the breasts, but it's not as common a place that is flogged. People tend to flog a person's backside mostly. In any case, you should always be safe about every part of your body

You can definitely try, although I haven't done anything with the degree. However I'm up for as much discussion as I can give you

STEP SEVEN: After you have the handle wrapped, take a pair of scissors and trim the ends of the falls to make them even. I prefer my tips to be uneven as it leaves a level of surprise when the flogger is thrown on me. A beautiful thing about these duct tape floggers is that they tend to be stingy. If you make a flogger with about thirty falls or more it's going to be both thuddy and stingy. After you've cut the ends, or not, your flogger is ready to go!



TADA!!

Because you're more likely of getting a hematoma (bruise) that becomes problematic, is that right? b/c the tissue is so sensitive? and yeah, but aren't these sort of general rules for any impact play as well as specific to floggers? so it would hold true for a small paddle or hairbrush or some other implement someone might be more likely to use on the breasts, no? or again, am i getting confused? (as i said... it's been awhiiiiile).

Now that you have your very own duct tape flogger, I want to hit on a point I didn't put in bold a few posts back. All floggers are not created equal. Most are made from different materials, weigh different amounts, are different lengths, and may fit differently in your hands. Even if you have been doing this for years, I suggest to everyone to practice throwing a flogger before using it on a person. You should always feel comfortable with the flogger you throw. If you do not feel confident or comfortable throwing a flogger and you are asked to flog someone, decline politely. It's better to not throw something you aren't comfortable with than harming someone.

Well, the breasts aren't things to be thrown around and hurt like they're rag dolls. The breasts are sensitive and yes, there is potential to damage the tissue in them. I'd avoid flogging the breasts with anything more than a small satin or rubber flogger. I wouldn't use this kind of flogger or anything intended to flog more than a small area on the breasts.

Looks great! I love the simplicity and could see using other tape as well.

I am seeing some duct tape lingerie to go with it. ~lets the redneck side show~

An awesome reason I am glad my owner isn't on here.

Do you have any plans for tack rollers?
