The switch is a punishment implement that was a pretty common implement of correction, but that seems to have slowly faded in popularity over time. During all of the various corporal punishment interviews I have conducted, I have only ever had two girls that I can recall that had the switch used on them, and in both cases it was from a grand parent, which demonstrated that its use is a bit dated. The only person I have ever known personally that had the switch used on them with any regularity is a young lady I went to college with. All of her spankings up until the age of 14 included the use of the switch and in every instance it was used exclusively on the backs of thighs and her calves, having never once felt it on her bottom. She made it very clear that this was a very difficult punishment to endure.
While limited in its use in our studio, we have featured a few spanking videos that involve the use of the switch. Personally, I like to use the switch during a spanking. It incorporates a couple of elements that I find quite powerful in a spanking scene. The first is the involvement of the person to be spanked in their own punishment. This certainly exists in most spankings to a certain degree. It can be as simple as them bending over and as drawn out as sending them to get the implement. But with a switch, you add a whole different element in their involvement and their assistance in their own punishment. Sending someone out to pick their own switch can be a very powerful thing. First, you have simply added the time that they have to think about the pain that is about to be applied to their butt. Then you factor in the choice they have to make when picking the switch. I can think of no other punishment implement that actually has the naughty girl spending so much time contemplating what exactly it is going to feel like. Too big of a switch can be brutal, too small and there is an added sting that does not exist with the larger ones. Most people sent for a switch are also contemplating that they were just told something to the effect of “if you do not pick a good one, I will pick one myself�. Once the switch is chosen then they are on the matter of cleaning it properly for its application. Which each leaf peeled they know they are one step closer to feeling it on their bare skin. What I really like is that they are not just being bent over and having their bottom smacked, they are spending a great deal of time assisting in the creation of the implement that will be used on them. No other implement creates such involvement from the person in trouble.

Another factor that I like is that it seems almost traditional to use a switch well below the bottom. Great care must always be exercised when spanking someone’s thighs, but a switch allows a lot of freedom, without the added risks of heavier implements. A switch is very thin and can easily be broken with two fingers. The pain comes from the sting and not much impact, so it is much more specific to the skin without involving all of the underlying muscles that are so close to the surface on the backs of the thighs. Every switching I have ever applied has involved to thighs to a certain degree and some the thighs were the primary emphasis. The picture below is from a mini movie we filmed for Bispanking.com which is currently the most watched set of clips on the site. Most of the popularity comes from the three strapping videos in which I apply the hardest belt punishment of my life to all three girls, but the switching scene is very intense and brings all three young ladies to tears. It is clear during the videos that the thighs are really what got to them. I started on their bottoms and heard some muffled groans, but when I began one of three passes down their legs, groans quickly turned to tears. The switch is a very effective implement, but please use caution and know how to prepare it. A poorly prepared switch almost always leads to broken skin. As spankers, it is our duty to see to the safety of those in trouble.
