WITD 101.68 When Should You Buy Your First Bullwhip21 viewsWhat type of bullwhip do you need if you throw horizontal style? I call these hybrid bullwhips as they have a stiff handle but are finished like a signal whip. Some whip makers call them hybrid signal whips. Be sure your plaiter and you are on the same page. For overhand style I recommend throwing a 3' snake whip to learn how to control the fall into your target before moving up to a bullwhip.Jan 30, 2024

WITD 101.65 Whip Not to Buy19 viewsIf your focus is on BDSM/leather and dungeon play then your first whip should be a whip that you can throw in the dungeon. A long time recommendation for a first whip among whip instructors has been a 6' whip as a longer whip has a slower action and a beginner can learn basic cracking and sport cracking quicker using a longer whip. Here's why for leather a 6' whip is not the best whip to buy for a beginner.Jan 30, 2024

WITD 101.67 First Whip Purchase10 viewsWhat whip or whips do I recommend for a beginner making their first whip purchase? Pretty simple, either a 3' dragontail or a 3' signal whip. Parachord is less expensive than kangaroo. A 3' single belly "budget" build kangaroo signal whip is adequate as a leather starter whip. A 4' signal whip should have two bellies to provide optimum performance.Jan 30, 2024

WITD 101.64 Varying Sensations33 viewsA Deep Dive into Cracker Materials
A whip bottom most likely will never know whether the whip thrower is throwing a signal whip, a snake whip or a bullwhip, nor will they know what color the cracker is. While the cracker color in a dimly lit dungeon affects the ability of the whip thrower, a whip catcher could care less. However, a dyneema cracker feels much differently than a mason line cracker, dacron much different than horse hair, silk much different than braided mason line, and kevlar is much different than a ladysally cracker {which is the cadillac of all dungeon play crackers}. Not only does material make a difference in sensation but construction of the cracker makes a difference.Nov 01, 2023

WITD 101.62 Whip Repair Kit31 viewsEvery whip thrower should carry a small case in their toybag with some whip essentials. A small mini fid, or dental pick for untying really tight knots in falls and crackers. Several sizes of small bandaids, small tube of triple antibiotic ointment, spare new crackers, a small knife or scissors. I carry snack sized zip lock bags and a sharpie to label each whip bottom's crackers. I never use the same cracker on two different whip bottoms.Nov 01, 2023

WITD 101.61a How to Break in a Whip9 viewsDiscussion and show and tell of how to break in a new kangaroo whip. Do not manually manipulate, bend or twist it. Simply throw it, get plenty of mileage on it using your own style of throwing until it becomes an extension of your arm. I condition every time before I throw a new whip until it is broken in, then only a couple of times each year. Condition the fall every time or almost every time you throw the whip.Oct 11, 2023
