Years ago I made a flogger out of sash cord. Sash cord is white cotton cord over a very thin but strong braided metal core. It is made to hold sash weights for old fashioned weighted windows (if you have no idea what I'm talking about, you don't live in a 120 year old house like I do!) Anyway, the sash cord is delightfully light and whippy, like a thick cotton twine, but the wire cores make sure the bottom knows s/he is getting flogged! I would either stuff the cords in a bicycle handle (the quick and dirty way) or wrap a handle out of cord and whip it in place with contrasting twine. Drawbacks: It can't be sterilized, and it is scratchy enough that it can draw a tiny bit of blood. Advantages: It was cheap and fun, and I could "whip one up" in about 20 minutes. Hmmm....I know I have one around here somewhere....oh holly....come here....I have something for you *wicked grin* E.
