It consists of a long, thin tapering length of material, often leather or nylon, with a handle at one end and a single, elongated tail or thong at the other. This design allows for a variety of striking techniques, producing different sensations and effects when applied to the skin.

In practice, the Single-Tail Whip can create sensations ranging from light and teasing to intense and sharp, depending on factors such as the force of the strike, the distance from which it is used, and the skill of the wielder. It is often associated with practices that emphasize both artistry and precision, as well as the importance of consent and safety in BDSM.

Effective use of a Single-Tail Whip requires significant practice and understanding of the dynamics of impact play. Users must also be aware of the safety aspects, including communication with a partner to establish boundaries and safe words, and consideration of the target areas on the body to avoid injury.

For example, a skilled practitioner may use a Single-Tail Whip to deliver a series of light taps that build anticipation, or a more forceful crack that can produce a loud sound and a sharp sensation, all while ensuring the experience is consensual and enjoyable for all parties involved.
