What is it called?

[LikelySuspect]

Not sure just where to put this, so I figure this is a good a place as any. Mods, feel free to move this if it's in the wrong spot.
There is a whip sort of thinger at my local sex shoppe and I want to know what on earth it is called. It's pretty much like a ponytail. Lots and lots and lots of, I assume, synthetic hairs, with a solid leather handle. Leaves the nicest welts and tiny cuts.... mmmmmm....
Help me out?

[cariad]

Ohhhh, I hope nobody comes up with the answer to this - 'whip sort of thinger' has to be by far the best name for it.

this whip sort of thinger sounds like a cat o nine tails to me

[pixie_dust]

Could be a synthetic stranded flogger....

[ceegee{Benz}]

chuckles could be anything. but def sounds like a cat 0 nine or what i call a swish flogger type thing

could it might even be a duster LMAO

shame u havent got a pic of it

[TomOfSweden]

Tiny cuts sounds like real horse hair, but synthetic rules that out.

[Rhabbi]

Sounds like a flogger, but i would have to see it to be more specific, why not just send a sub in to ask?

[~hellish one~]

ok what you are describing doesn't sound like a cat o' nine tails...

cats have..well..9 tails! LOL (an example is the first pic below) there are different kinds of cats, but the traditional style is the single tails with either knots in them or braids.

the second image is of a horse hair flogger..

it definitely SOUNDS like a horse hair flogger...whether it's synthetic hair or not...i dunno...lol

[LikelySuspect]

[~hellish one~]

[LikelySuspect]

[vistana]

guh, horsehair?
*shudders*

I had my hand lightly thwacked with one of those once - it was itchy and red for hours!

[LikelySuspect]

exactly why i adore it. went back and drooled over it tonight. turns out, if i had read the tag i would've known... real horse hair... yummmmmm. i dare not look at the price. its probably far beyond my grasp. my pretty collar i got from there was 30 bucks and its just basic...
