The delights of flogging with French suede…
February 18th, 2010![]()
There are some really great whips and floggers available via S(A)X’s website, made from all sorts of materials, including rubber, leather, suede … even horsehair! You’ll find a link to them here.
I must admit my personal favorite is Steve’s French suede flogger, a very popular design he has been making for many years now.
Our red suede flogger (which you can see hanging next to our hammock at our Northern Rivers property, in the photo above) was one of the very first S(A)X items we purchased. We were looking for a flogger suitable for new kinksters who were still learning about sensation play, and suede is much softer than hide.

The wide suede falls or tails (there are twenty) on this flogger can be used very gently. The experience is thuddy rather than stingy, if you are on the receiving end … although the points (tips) of the falls can sting … it all depends how you wield it. I’ve heard suede floggers described as perfect implements for providing a good massage! They are also great warm up … and scene closing … implements, if you are more experienced. For implements that provide more sting and less thud, try heavier thin leather falls, or rubber or horsehair (super stingy!!).
I also find the suede handle grips well during play. If you prefer a wooden handle, have a look at another style of flogger which Steve stocks, which combines thirty French suede falls with a timber handle.

There is also a smaller “Little Stinger” version of this style available.
As you can see from S(A)X’s photos, for both the larger suede styles you may choose your colour (red, black, blue or purple) and re the style we own, you may also choose the length of your falls - the one you can see in the photo at the top of the post is an example of the longest falls available, which I then shortened slightly to suit my height.
We’ve had lots of fun with our suede flogger. It’s taken a lot of use but still looks great, which is typical of the quality of S(A)X products. I definitely recommend you try one!
