"Whip" is commonly used as an umbrella term for all impact play tools, though it technically refers to an item with a thinner body that produces more of a "stingy" sensation. (You'll often hear BDSM practitioners refer to sensations as either "stingy" or "thuddy"—the latter describing a toy like a paddle.) The most advanced whip on the market is the single-tail, which looks like a snake and can create a cracking noise when used correctly. Single-tails break the skin and can wrap around the body, injuring areas where organs reside and should only be used by professional dominatrices with years of experience. Even some pro dominatrices will use them only for intimidation, rather than actually impacting their submissive's body. If you want to try a whip, opt for a beginner-friendly option
