Need advice on using cane and leaving stripes

[Eager2TRYRU]

We bought a cane and have been using it for months but the only marks it leaves are some small roundish bruises and a few short 1-2 inch lines. Some of the lines are deep enough to draw a hint of blood but we can never seem to get those wonderful, red stripes that travel across both buttocks.

Any advice or suggestions? Is the cane not heavy enough? (It's the one from Amazon with the red handle, highest rated one there) Is there some mysterious technique that eludes us.

Please help.

I'm hoping to get this figured out for tonight.

Your cane is too thin and likely not flexible enough for your technique.

My suggestion:
Try a charging cord. If you get better red lines with it, it really is the cane. Then you should invest in a decent 28" riding crop, not from the adult store.

Thank you.

I get more distinct lines when i have my bottom made wet beforehand. Works either with water or some oils/gels. Downside (or upside, depending on your viewpoint) is that this hurts a LOT more..

Thanks.

Anyone else have any advice?

What material type and diameter is the cane? How are you using it?

My riding crop always made beautiful striped bruises on my ass and legs. I bought it at a farm supply store. It was fairly inexpensive. I had lots of fun trying them all and choosing my favorite. Judging by the little crowd watching, I think others enjoyed it also!

You are going to get a different experience with a cane based on the material (firmness/flexibility), the width and the length. For the most part, to keep it simple the thinner and longer the cane is the more likely you are to get welts. The thicker or shorter it is will slightly decrease this. A thicker cane will have a more thuddy feel while a narrower one will be more stingy. Plastics and acrylics are actually denser than wood, so you may actually find you like a rattan cane better.

The best info I can come up with is an amazon link for the one you mentioned. Based on price I am going to assume this is a plastic or acrylic rod, much like the mini blind rod the other poster mentioned. Is the width really a half inch? Or is that the handle? A half inch would be slightly thicker than the acrylic cane that I own and use, which quite frankly may not give you the result you desire. My 3/8 cane (which would be thinner than yours) is more thuddy and is less likely to cut the skin.

Roughly put, a thick cane with resonate deeper and bruise, where a thin cane is more flexible and with cut or welt. Both can change with the length of your cane as well as the person you are playing with (some people just don't bruise or welt easily.)

I asked how you are using it so that I would know how you are swinging and the angle that you are using. If you are pulling back sharply to impact you will get just surface swing. If you are following through with your swing completely you will continue the force through into whatever area you are caning. Are you keeping your arm straight which may mean a lesser impact or are you reaching your arm upwards and aiming downwards? Or are you using your wrist for the swing? The speed of the cane is the force you are working with... not necessarily the strength or your force in the stroke.

Have you practiced enough to really hit your actual target spot with this force or just the general area? This is another reason why I asked how you are caning. This IS important... even more so depending on how you are positioning the person and what area you are caning. Your swing on someone who is in a bent position is going to be different than a swing you may use on someone who is lying flat on their stomach.

Are you aiming with the tip of the cane of the material closer to your hand? The outer edge will give you a more intense blow - that is where the force is. If you are using the middle of the cane or towards the handle you will naturally get more of a thud. Generally your goal is to hit with the tip as opposed to the handle (unless you are going for a thuddy impact where the goal is sensation only in general.) Be careful when hitting with just the tip of if you are leaving much of the cane exposed on the other end. Just like when using a whip you can get overlap with a cane. (Just like with a whip you have no control of the strength of the hit.) Similarly avoid hitting with the tip as you are forcing a large amount of force into a small area which tends to take a long time to heal. While it should go without saying - I will do so regardless for someone else who might see this at some point in the future. You can chip and break things line bones and tailbones (which do not heal) and injure muscle and nerves with canes. This is something that both players need to be aware of, and why using a cane with speed/force is not something that should be taken lightly.
