 |
|
| Hi! I am wondering on how to go about choosing items such as floggers, singletails, crops paddles, etc., or finding ones that are of at least decent level of quality. I know that lots of internet sites carry these items, and have found a few places online, but i have no idea what might be right for me. I know that some can vary by weight or feel, and my biggest issue is that I live in a fairly small town, small enough that if you walk into the local shop, people still look at you a little funny. |

Do you live near a large city? I would recommend making a day of it.
Find the nearest large city, go to a museum, check out the park, see a ballgame, buy a flogger!
Hell, make it Chicago and I might just go with you!

Ok, I do not suggest buying anything in terms of BDSM toys from the typical "adult stores."
Your best bet is to go to a specifically oriented kink store or some kind of scene event that has a vending component so you can get your hands on stuff and get the feel of it, find what's comfortable in your hands, etc.
Another option is to find people locally who already have a collection of toys and who will allow you to look at/feel/etc them and who can give you info on where they got anything you might be interested in so that you can go directly to those sources.
If none of those are possible, there are stores that also have online shops such as Mr. S (don't let the male focus scare you, they have great stuff and a great reputation) http://www.mr-s-leather.com/cgi-bin/mr-s/index.html?id=ug8oc8I2.
A lot of BDSM organizations will have a links page on their website and you can find links to reputable online vendors there.
Hope that helps.
PS
If you can do it at a scene event with vending, sometimes you can, um, haggle down the price a little bit...  |

| thanks, though i'm stuck in the middle of the bible-belted midwest, so finding a kink store within 6 hours means going to chicago or back to the parent's area in Mn... and that's a little iffy at best. though, that site sounds good to start... Thanks again! |

Tried to post this hours ago, but the wonderful internet connection, well...
Also, some things to think about...
I don't know how tall you are, but You don't want a flogger that drags on the ground when you hold it, so if you're going to order something online, it's probably a good idea to get a rough idea of the length you want.
Even though I'm mostly a bottom/sub, I do have to admit to owning a handful of impact toys, and a blindfold, and a gag... Just because I couldn't resist... And I tend to buy what I like to have used on me (not that I expect to have them used on me on a routine basis) and also what felt good in my hands. I do, in my opinion, have some pretty nice stuff.
I don't know how much you know about specific toys and I don't want to seem condescending or anything, but if there are certain toys that you want to discuss I can offer whatever knowledge I do have (eg. for a flogger: the weight of the leather, the cut of the tips, the number of falls; for canes: the thickness, the material, the finish (if any), etc.). All I can share with you is what I like as a bottom and what I liked in the times I did have occasion to top.
Of course, you may already know all of this and just be trying to find a place to actually buy stuff, so if that's the case, just ignore me. Just tryin' to be helpful.
