I'm looking for a large, heavy spanking strap (like a prison strap) to buy online. I've seen several that I like but they vary dramatically in price. I was wondering if anyone has purchased anything similar online that they could share a review with me. I've only bought my leather straps from London Tanners but I've seen a couple other sites that offer similar straps for much cheaper.
Thanks for the help. |

Personally, I wouldn't pay more than $50 to about $80 for a good quality prison strap. I might go as high as $100 for something from a source I know, but it have to be one whale of a good strap. |

I love the looks of the Canadian Prison Strap at London Tanners but it's $129 and it's hard to make a decision like that based on just one picture. I know they make good products but I think I'm going to buy one of the cheaper ones I've seen. Can anyone recommend a site that they've purchased straps from in the past and if they were happy with their work? |

We do not have or have ever used a "prison strap" but my husband makes leather things, and I am sure he could make you one if you have a picture of what you want. He usually just charges the cost of the leather for making spanking/whipping things(he loves making them). Let me know if this post is appropriate for here or not allowed. |

"I'm looking for a large, heavy spanking strap (like a prison strap) to buy online."
-----------------------------------------------
Reb's has a nice one that is reasonably priced.
I believe a spanking from it will be impressive. The sting on a wet bottom is incredible.
Buy two, and cut one into three tails for the last six inches or so to make a nice tawse.
It is a little long and floppy for our preferences, but that is individual to us.
Our most recent rubber toys are 12 inches long with 12 inch handles, but some of that is individual preference. The action of Rebs strap can be improved by adding some stiff conveyer belt rubber where the handle meats the rubber. It makes the transition from stiff to floppy very gradual. This allows the user to develop the proper wrist action for a wide range of force, and gives even the lightest stroke a good velocity at the tip. There is a reason whips tapered.
As with all rubber, round the corners and bevel or round the edges to prevent early bottom failure. I use an edge beveler from a leather supply house for the side edges, and hold the ends against a belt sander for a nice smoothly rounded tip.

Tawseman....ironically I just got two from Reb's...the prison strop and the rubber strop. I haven't had a chance to use them yet but they're definitely intimidating looking. |

Sounds like you are set up pretty well. Did you get the wide or narrow rubber strap? The wide one could easily be called a rubber prison strap.
Please report back on results. I would be interested in your comparison of one to the other. My wife and I are big rubber fans. |

I got the wide rubber one...not sure when I'll have the chance to feel either though. My wife knows we got a few new implements but I haven't even shown them to her. I get punished about once every two weeks or so and just got a quick session earlier this week and I'm going to be away on business all next week. I'll keep you posted though. |

Brett, you might take a peek at my post on the rubber paddle thread.
To get the most out of it, the Reb's wide rubber strap needs a little help, some of which is described there. Additionally, the transition from handle to strap is very abrupt, making the whole thing a little floppy, and less sensitive to gradations of force used.
Shortening and modifying Reb's wide rubber strap makes it hit harder and aim truer than unmodified. Of course, your preferences may vary.
For experimenting, you can buy some Grainger 1MTP7 12 X 12 3/16 thick neoprene rubber material quite reasonably. 1DWV4 is the same rubber in 4 by 36 inches. This particular rubber composition seems to have the ideal combination of the various characteristcs, such as durometer hardness, elongation, tensile strength, etc. The Reb's handle allows easy changing of rubber, so you have never made an irrevocable mistake.
I use a stiff tapered reinforcement where the handle joins the strap to ease the transition. Piano wire also works, if several pieces are used to provide a graduated transition from rigid to floppy.
I should add that my wife agrees that the mods make if more enjoyable to use, but the increased pain is more than she enjoys. So, she is the only one who gets to enjoy using it, and I am the only one who gets to feel the benefits of the refinements. |

You get what you pay for Brett. Our prison Strap is an exact replica of the original the blade being over 3/16ths thick 25 inches by 3 and as you know all our disciplinary implimants are completely made by hand every stitch with imported British Leather.
