Items of interest regarding all things spanking

In Praise of the Carpet Slipper
by Februs

The first in a series focussing on the implements of spanking.


Definition
I think the first thing to say is that references to the slipper as a spanking implement tend to be somewhat confusing as the same term is used to describe a number of items which are actually quite different. In general it is pretty much safe to assume that references to the 'slipper' within a story set in school are more than likely describing a gym shoe or plimsoll than an actual slipper while, in general, those within a domestic setting are more likely to be describing the rubber soled carpet slipper which is the subject of this particular article. The carpet slipper I personally favour is equipped with a foam base covered with a layer of vulcanised rubber comprising the sole which is smooth and flexible and preferably in size 11 or 12. This particular kind of slipper tends not to be manufactured these days although if you search hard enough you can still come across them.

Popularity
Fans of the rubber soled carpet slipper as the spanking implement of choice are certainly very much in the minority and this can easily be seen following a cursory inspection of the commercial spanking videos that are available for viewing. In addition, the implements that tend to be featured within spanking fiction and within the photoshoots that appeared in the majority of spanking magazines rarely included the carpet slipper. It's also really something more applicable to the British than the average American spanko.

Sting
One of the myths regarding the carpet slipper that's often encountered, judging from the discussions on a number of the spanking forums, is that somehow they don't hurt. One suspects this is based on a misunderstanding of the kind of slipper that would typically be used to carry out a satisfactory spanking. It's certainly true, however, to say that they generate far more sting than thud, although some of them with a thicker base can pack quite a punch too. Used with a reasonable degree of force and repetition they can be intensely painful but they also allow the spanker to very easily vary the degree of sting imparted.

In The Comics
During the 1970s and for some years later, until political correctness put a stop to it, the carpet slipper featured heavily in British comics such as the Dandy and Hotspur and several others but was perhaps most prevalent in the Beano where characters such as Minnie the Minx, Roger the Dodger and Dennis the Menace were subjected to a good whacking with an over-sized bendy carpet slipper, usually wielded by an exasperated, irate father, in almost every issue. It was commonplace to see the last panel of a story strip showing the unfortunate spankee sat on a vast pile of soft cushions, a series of lines radiating from the victim's posterior indicating the resultant throbbing. Whether a reality or not, the world portrayed by the Beano and other comics of its time very much suggested that caning was the punishment of choice at school in the UK whilst at home the domestic carpet slipper was king.


Some Advantages
What then would I recommend about the carpet slipper and what advantages might if offer over the more popular alternatives?

Well firstly, they're highly unlikely to cause any real damage but are still able to generate anything from a mild to an intensely painful sting.

Secondly, they make a particularly satisfying WHUPP! when brought into contact with their intended target and leave a very satisfying red imprint behind.

Thirdly, they tend to be exceptionally flexible and are not going to suddenly break, something I'm able to appreciate following the unfortunate demise of both my favourite riding crop and cane, both of which snapped when merely being brandished through the air, let alone being put to good use.

Fourthly, transportation is not an issue, and you're unlikely to be faced with any embarrassment should your luggage be searched at the airport or when the maid is cleaning your hotel room.

Fifthly, they're not going to break the bank, and at one time they could be found in bargain bins for no more than a few pounds.

Lastly, they can be be administered in a variety of positions, both standing and otk or with the spankee bent over the bed, armchair or other suitable structure.
