Do you ever fancy the crook of a cane across your behind? Learn more about BDSM caning and elevate your impact play.
We know that spanking is a widely enjoyed form of impact play across the kink spectrum, and even with those who don’t identify as kinky.
An enthusiastic swat is really an extension of a caress, and gives the spanker an opportunity to play with the spankee’s ass. The receiver experiences enjoyable sensations and increased arousal from blood flow and power plays.
If you enjoy spanking, you may be curious about BDSM caning, which offers the same benefits with an added sting.
Getting Started with BDSM Caning
While many enjoy an occasional wallop, more committed impact play enters the realm of fetish and BDSM. Power dynamics of top and bottom or dominant and submissive come into play.
There is a wide range of equipment for diverse impact play tastes—from hands to whips to paddles to BDSM canes.
Why Do Kinksters Like BDSM Caning?
BDSM caning is a specific form of impact play that kinky lovers enjoy for variety, or because of a very particular preference for the kind of sensation a cane brings.
A BDSM cane is starker and more intense than a hand or paddle, so beginners should always learn from someone experienced or educate themselves on caning safety. It is easy to injure someone by thwacking a muscle or bone, or tearing the skin.

How to Use a BDSM Cane
First of all, it’s a good idea to use nonporous canes if they will be shared, and clean the surfaces carefully before and after use. Also, make sure there are no splinters or gouges.
A standard rule of safety when caning is to keep strikes uniform. This allows the submissive to predict the sensation, which allows him to relax or to move her body to compensate.
There are two kinds of strikes in caning—the sting strike, and with a heavier hand or a thicker model, the thud. Beginners will want to stick with the sting, and most diehards too: the sting is kind of the point.
The most important rule is to strike on the fleshy part of the buttocks most of the time and maybe the upper thighs if there is enough fat there to handle the cane.
Never strike near the kidneys, face, tailbone, knees, ankles, feet, hands, or head.

5 Types of BDSM Canes
Rattan Cane
Far and away the most loved cane for this purpose is made of lightweight rattan. It’s a flexible material and easy to wield. It gives a satisfying zip in the air and achieves the intense sting that most are looking for.
Bamboo Cane
This cane looks and feels a lot like rattan, but steer clear of it simply because it is so prone to splintering. It has razor sharp edges when it dries out and keeping it moist is a hassle. Best to use the similar but much more useful rattan.
Plastic Cane
Plastic is a synthetic substance, and also makes a good standard cane for BDSM play. It’s flexible and easy to control and gives a satisfying stinging sensation.
Lucite Cane
Lucite feels similar but more dense to plastic, and it can be aesthetically appealing and artfully designed. However, a lucite can is heavier and rigid and not usually a favorite wand of either top or bottom.
Fiberglass Cane
It’s not likely you’ll need anything other than plastic or rattan BDSM cane, either starting out or as an aficionado. But if you did, you would probably try fiberglass next. Fiberglass canes are light and easy to direct, with a little less flexibility, meaning a more painful strike.
There are other types of canes if you become a connoisseur or collector, but most BDSM caning enthusiasts on both sides of the stick find all they ever need in a classic rattan.
Remember to have a safe word and keep communication a priority. Enjoy the blows!
