Tools
There are many different tools you can use to inflict the pain
 

Belts

Belts are great for bastinado. They do not apply the best lashing across the helpless soles but they are fantastic to use to warm up the soles. This would be the first thing to use in a session where the intensity of the whipping increased with each round of flogging.

The Cane

The cane is possibly the most common implement used to whip the soles of the feet. Canes are very painful and vary the intensity of the punishment and pain according to how thick or thin they are and how flexible they are.In a typical session the feet will be whipped with a variety of different canes. This means that the torturer can slowly intensify the pain to his victims soles not only by how hard he strikes the feet but with which cane he has decided to use. A good bastinado session will use more than one cane

Electric flex whip

The ultimate device for delivering pain across the soles of the bare feet. It is a really hard man who can receive the bastinado with electric cables and not be reduced to tears very quickly. This device should only be used with the direct permission and agreement of the person on the receiving end. This is real torture at it’s very best (or worst depending on where you are when it is use). Serious welt marks will be left across the bastinadoed soles when it is is used and walking will be very hard, maybe impossible for quite some time


 

Other good bastinado tools

There are many other things that can be used to give the bastinado. Some do a wonderful job and some give less of a punishment. The only way to find out which ones suit you the best is to find a bastinado partner and try them. Here are a few ideas:·

Hosepipe (a length of ordinary garden hosepipe)
Rubber car hose (Excellent)
Knotted rope (Very Good)·
Fishing rod section (very painful)·
Paddle (wooden or leather)·
Hard hairbrush·
