In Praise of the Hairbrush As a lifelong spankophile and amateur blogger all things spanking arouse me. But this most exciting phrase: "Get over my knee I am going to spank your bare behind with my hairbrush" seems to strike home in all the right ways. Hairbrush spankings were common here and in Great Britain, and a favorite implement for domestic discipline. It is my favorite implement to read about and see in pictures and drawings. One recent find was a spanking threat from Petticoat Junction. I was amused by the wording. Uncle Joe claimed he was going to bend Bettie Jo over his knee and whomp her with a hairbrush. History Hairbrushes have been around since the time of primitive man. William Kent started manufacturing hair brushes in 1777 and is one of the oldest companies in the United Kingdom. I have wandered around many antique stores and one item I found intriguing were these silver or ivory brush and comb sets. I have read that these were often given to brides for the obvious reason but a frequent use of these formidable silver creations was for the back of the brush to be applied briskly to the backside of a misbehaving bride. I also seem to remember that sets of these were also exchanged between newlywed couples for the same reason. These brushes are beautifully textured and I can imagine they must be very effective. A later development was to place the bristles of the brush in a membrane of rubber instead of just inserting the bristles into holes drilled into the brush surface. Originally developed in 1885 by Mason Pearson this allowed the bristles to flex with the hair making untangling hair easier.    Spanking Implement As long as hairbrushes have been around for brushing hair, I am fairly certain that they have been used for both domestic discipline and for the erotic type of spanking. The nice thing about a hairbrush is its innocence. A hairbrush on a nightstand or dressing table is just a tool for grooming, until its alternate use is put into play. It is much more subtle than a riding crop hanging on a hook. Hairbrushes and the larger bath brush can be made of many materials. Plastic with nylon bristles being common and inexpensive. These can be used to spank a naughty behind but I have a definite preference for brushes made from hard woods with boar bristles. The round or paddle types with a flat back seem to be a natural tool for spanking. I have seen men's hairbrushes with grooves cut into the back, although I have never used one of these I would imagine that they would leave little parallel lines on a reddened bottom. The best spanking hairbrush I have found used to be made by Pacific Force. It is almost 12" long with the striking face being oval 2.5" by 5". It has a fitted handle for a comfortable grip.   Intensity Please, not with the hairbrush! A brisk hairbrush spanking can be very intense but if used with some restraint can range from a gentle and erotic sensation all the way to heavy burning and sting. In any case starting slow and easy is a good practice. The membrane type of brush has the added benefit of amplifying the noise of wood on flesh so a mild spanking will make it sound like a heavy pounding. The brush with the bristles drilled into the wood makes less noise. If discretion is a major concern any kind of hairbrush spanking does tend to make a very distinctive sound. Over clothes or on bare skin the distinctive sound of a hard spanking travels and if your spankee is vocal you can make quite a racket. In these days of thin apartment walls it is something you should be aware of. Playing music or TV loudly may help to mask the sounds but it is difficult. I think this explains the traditional trip to the woodshed.   Technique When you spank someone with your hand you get the immediate feedback of the stinging of your hand to let you know just how much pain you are causing. When you use a hairbrush or any spanking implement, just like any other kind of tool there is no need to force it, you just let the tool do the work. Spanking someone with a hairbrush is nothing like driving a nail into a block of 2x4; to start slowly you can let gravity take control and simply drop the brush onto its intended target, raising it higher and higher to increase the force of the blows. To increase the intensity just strike the buttocks with a slight snap of the wrist. You can even administer a punishment spanking that will hurt with no more force than that. Spacing out the spanks is said to allow the full amount of sting to be felt. I have found that many spanks quickly placed will increase the heat and sting considerably. Results A good hairbrush spanking can have a full range of results, from a backside slightly pink and tender, to one that's very red and stinging. An extreme spanking can leave a bottom with a kind of leathery texture. The benefit of that leathery texture is a numbing so that you can continue playing. Getting a sound spanking with my favorite implement has left me aroused for as long as my ass was tender. Sitting down was just a reminder of the experience.   The Experts To add to my opinion and reading I e-mailed a few of my favorite bloggers and sought their views: Hermione (Hermione's Heart) "We have a large arsenal of spanking implements, including several hairbrushes. There's an oval ivory one, a large black one, and a rectangular one that has, instead of bristles, a set of stiff metal pins with smooth red plastic tips. They are all ouchy, but I love being spanked with the rectangular brush. After several hard swats with the smooth wooden side, my husband turns the brush over and paddles me with the pointy side, and sometimes he rubs the points across my reddened bottom. I can't decide which side I like better."DJ Black (A Voice In The Corner) "I can tell you that it is very effective although my girl doesn't like it. It has the tendency to leave bruises that last beyond all others; especially if you use it bristle side down for a spell."Erica Scott (Life, Love & Spanking) "I have a love/hate relationship with the hairbrush. Mostly hate! It hurts like hell, but as far as OTK spanking implements are concerned, it's a classic. The love part? Breaking it."Bonnie (My Bottom Smarts) "The hairbrush is often the implement of choice at our house. Some love it, others hate it, but to me, a good brush might be the ideal spanking tool."Zelle (No Domme Blonde) "Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature in his pictures... I would prefer every spanko Top look into MY soul, and realize I do not want him to paint on my canvas with brushes, I much prefer he finger paint!"   Wrapping up Yes I love the hairbrush and being a switch from both sides, but I understand that love/hate feeling that Erica talks about. After all my reading I may just have to go and buy another good brush, for my hair, after all I brush my teeth and I still have all of them, maybe a brush will help me keep what hair that I have left.  19 comments:

When I was a young boy, my mother used to buy brushes from a gentleman who was with The Fuller Brush Company. She'd by all sorts of hair gadgets from them. it's funny, never once did I ever get to feel one of those on my bottom. It was always the wooden spoon. Reading what others wrote, maybe I should be thankful for that, although that spoon stung like the dickens. 27 April 2012 18:06

The humble hairbrush, to think that there are so many that just consider brushing their hair with it - what a waste! 27 April 2012 18:37

The hairbrush is also known as the Great Equaliser for women who use it to punnish men by spanking with it. This stems from times back when a man's hand was a hard flat surface to spank women with, but a few women who spanked their menfolk found that their small dainty palms didn't have the desired effect, but a wooden hairbrush could do the job very well indeed. 27 April 2012 20:50

I adore the hairbrush both to spank with and be spanked by. I don't know if it's the feel of it or the mythology around them, but a hairbrush spanking nearly always pushes my buttons. 28 April 2012 01:55

That 12 inch brush that you mentioned I believe is actually a bathbrush. I have seen them sold on several vanilla sites. If it is the one I am thinking of it says "made in Germany" on it. The one I have says "made in West Germany" since I bought it before the fall of the Berlin Wall. You're right it is the most effective brush that I have found although some of those antique brushes made of sterling silver look interesting as they would be quite heavy. 28 April 2012 23:33

I’m with Seegee. It’s my favorite implement to spank or be spanked with. Incidentally, I also remember the Fuller Brush men. The man that serviced our area when I was a child in Tulsa was named Frank Love. He was about the scariest man I’d ever seen. He looked a lot like Allen Napier who played Alfred the butler on the sixties TV version of Batman. He seemed to be nine feet tall, a hundred years old, thin as a rail and had a mass of snow white hair. Once when he came by when I was about five, I answered the door and he patted me on the head. I screamed, slammed the door on him and ran away. 29 April 2012 01:03

I used to have a nice hairbrush form the Body Shop which was a paddle shaped brush... great for brushing hair and for being spanked with as it wasn't too intensely stingy... sadly it broke in action, cracking right through the middle sandwiching my poor butt cheek between the wooden panels. At least it caused a laugh but has sadly now been relegated to the task of grooming only. It was later replaced with a ferocious, heavy wooden brush, designed for the job of spanking rather than grooming. It has a lethal sting even when used only lightly. The only pleasure this brush would give me would be if I could break it.. though I doubt that could be physically possible (and definitely not on my butt thank you very much!!!)!! It has a pure evil snappy sting that can only be compared to a million piranha bites and is my most hated implement!!!! 29 April 2012 12:47

Who can argue with the effectiveness of the hairbrush. Ouch! I enjoyed your article and the variety of uses, especially the gift for new brides, I can remember getting a mirror brush and comb trimmed in imitation Ivory. I had no idea of the intent. IC 29 April 2012 16:13

Being on the F/M side of the brush, I find the association with a woman's hairbrush and her authority to use the other side on a misbehaving guy to be quite an erotic image. I love the stories that feature that kind of scenario. I am lucky enough to have several of the 'classic' Nu-West hairbrushes. I have been unable to find anything quite like them. And my Lady and I love to browse the antique shops for them. Its even more fun to see the knowing glances from the sales staff during the purchases. 30 April 2012 21:53

As an F/M lover of spanking myself, I have a love/hate relationship with the hairbrush. When it's used on me by my lovely wife in fun or erotic spankings on my bottom it is fine as we have lots of laughs and banter back and forth between us as she spanks. But when it is used for either punnishment or stress relief, she mixes up the spanking between slow and hard and fast and hard until I burst into tears and then she still carries on until SHE decides when to end the spanking. I hate the brush then when it's being applied, but the stupid part is that it was probably me that asked for it, but sometimes my wife seems to know exactly when I need one of THESE spankings without me saying a word, what a woman. Mind you she always ends up giving me a massage with baby oil and lots of cuddles and kisses at the end, so is it worth it? You bet it is. 3 May 2012 11:01

I hate it when my wife uses the hairbrush, the damn thing has left me with some very vivid reminders. I hate it so much I won't even use it on my wife. to bad she doesn't feel the same way. Knowing that I hate it so much she always sets it out when ever we get down to business, but doesn't use it on me all that much. She just holds it over my head, and delights in debating whether or not I've earned it use. Maybe someday i should use it on her, but she'd probably like it, then I'd really be screwed. 4 May 2012 01:52

I have always thought of the hairbrush as being a "feminine" implement(just as I think of the belt or razor strop as masculine). Moms using it on naughty children, or a husband using her own hairbrush on his wife's bare bottom for some infraction are scene that come to mind. Remember a Prince Valiant comic where a queen is going to chastise a misbehaving young teen daughter and the line "selecting her flattest hairbrush." 4 May 2012 16:02

I noticed while Christmas shopping in a large department store in Essex: last December that there seem to be far too many handled hairbrushes for sale than a normal market might be expected to absorb. After all, how many hairbrushes can you wear out in a lifetime? Some of them seemed to be too wide to be really effective for their stated purpose but would have been ideal for spanking a middle aged female bottom, and it seemed more likely that they were marketed at adventurous couples. Many were very sensuous, with sturdy handles, and were being sold alone, not in sets with matching accessories. Stocking fillers for Essex girls. 9 May 2012 10:41

The hairbrush is by far my favorite implement. I also think it may hurt the most. For me, it represents a real spanking with comforting contact. You know you are being spanked for your own good. I get spanked with the bath brush. My wife gets the hairbrush. 18 May 2012 16:50

Lovely article - thanks. I did actually say 'Please, not the hairbrush' once, when I was about 6 (so I was told anyway - though the teller didn't catch the wishful thinking behind the apparent plea!) Wonderful things - bristly side especially! 29 May 2012 22:08

I actually have a love/hate relationship with the hair brush. It is an implement that strikes fear in the heart of a naughty child. Although the slipper is my Aunty's favourite, she discovered just how much the thought of a spanking with her ebony hair brush scares me. Now it gets used every time I go across her knee. Being the more traditional implement used by mothers the brush conjures up thoughts of loving maternal discipline, diligently teaching the errant child the error of his ways. 30 May 2012 00:23

Love the hair brush, hate the way my bottom feels after a spanking with one until I need another one (smile) I was shopping in an antique store years back when I found a lovely black wooden brush the bristles were worn I finely worked up the nerve to take it to the check out. The lady at the register smiled took the brush in her hand and said this is a nice one and smacked the palm of her hand three times with several other customers close by and then just grinned looking at my red face as she took the money . 18 June 2018 03:07

The iconic implement for sure. Every woman, even non-spankos, seems to own at least one if not several. Those antique ones are hard to find now. 20 July 2018 08:44

Mother always used an old oval shaped wooden hairbrush when spanking my sister or myself. We dreaded being sent upstairs or being taken by the arm and marched upstairs, but with some distance and better perspective I have to admit it was very effective in dealing with me. 3 December 2018 14:42
