i think they all sting to some degree or another! i really hate canes and avoid them as much as possible lol

i only know of three main types (other than the ann summers/local sex store type stuff ,so im not sure if this is of much help sorry)

kaboos, dragons and show, though there's probably a hell of a lot more out there.

kaboo canes are softer and more flexible and not as harsh and you can get those both crooked and straight though crooked are not quite as easy to aim with, they are slightly more 'thuddy' than most other canes if you're not really into sting.

dragon canes are pretty severe, they're well knotted and a good weight,they're also very straight so you can get a good aim.
they come in both senior and junior, juniors are about 6 to 8 mm senior being slightly thicker around 10 to 12 mm diamiter and are generally slightly longer.



there are also show cane but those things are very severe! they're made out of stiff fibre glass and covered in leather with a chrome tip and come in about 4 different lengths they are very nasty!!!
and after being on the wrong end of one of those ..which are not cheap btw, i can honestly say i feel very sorry for you....expect a few tears!!!

but whichever you go for the thinner cheaper ones arnt much good (in my opinion) whether you're just starting out or not, they're very light and bend easily so aiming can be a bit poor and the wax finish is well pretty crap tbh lol so they can be a little rough to the touch and in the long term it works out cheaper to pay extra for a good quality piece of equipment.

have a good look around if possible and 'try before you buy' it usually causes a few raised eyebrows in the stores but hey what the hell

ive always found as a rule of thumb if it feels too light and isnt evenly balanced (whether that be a cane,flogger whip etc) when you lay it flat in your hand then it's usually petty naff doesnt have the desired effect and doesnt last two minutes!
