Rope thongs...

[severnmiles]

Anyone have any links as to where I can buy one? OH wants to change his leather one to rope...

Thanks in advance.

 

[vivhewe]

LMAO! I'd have thought rope might give him friction burns

 

[piebaldsparkle]

LOL - I thought the same!!! (creeps away to crawl back to the gutter).

 

[Clodagh]

Eh?? The things that go on in Wales...lol!!

 

[WelshRareBit]

lmao

 

[severnmiles]

You lot!! Wash your mouths out! I'm talking about crops, thongs and lashes!

Though the thought of OH in a rope thong (the kind that you lot were thinking) does amuse me....

 

[vivhewe]

Crops, thongs, AND lashes?!

Jeez your bedroom life must be erm.. interesting! Ann Summers must love you! *snigger*

 

[peakpark]

Hilarious!

Just google that phrase to get some very interesting sites.

Jeepers, what an exciting thread! More please..!

 

[Clodagh]

Why does he want a rope one then??

 

[flying_change]

You'd think that leather would be more.... interesting....

... switching to PVC I can understand.....

 

[severnmiles]

Lol... perhaps he wants to keep the leather one for use elsewere!! :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: Did I say that?

I'm only joking, he wants a rope one as our previous hm, whip, current hm and neighbouring hm all say they last longer and are better.

so no links then? :-(

No links, but I know of some good chain makers.

Being serious for a moment: a leather thong relies on the weight in the 'belly' of the thong, in order for one to be able to crack it properly. I've used a heavy nylon rope to produce a reasonable 'crack', but generally not as good as leather, so am mystified on your whip & huntsmans comments..must be some professional hunt staff on the board..what comments?

 

[PapaFrita]

*snigger* Sorry but I was rather scandalised until you explained!! :grin:

 

[madgirl]

lmoa!

 

[severnmiles]

Well he's cracked leather and rope in front of me and they both sound like shotguns! No difference.

I'll ask our hm. Must be some reason that they are all using them and actually to be honest when I was out yesterday I am sure the rope thong was slightly heavier than the leather one....

 

[flying_change]

"so no links then? :-( "

Wouldnt like to shock the children.

But I could PM you all the good ones if you want.

 

[flying_change]

Please stop now !

... cracking his thing in front of you... well.... sorry, thong...

 

[severnmiles]

You lot are terrible!!

F_C could you please PM me the links...please!

 

[teapot]

Saw the title of this thread and immediately went but wouldn;t a rope thong just be horrible to wear/ride in

and nowwwww I understand

 

[flying_change]

I wouldnt like to make you blush !

shouldn't really have a problem with the leather one wearing out really as long as he's using it off a horse properly and not hitting the ground. could proberly see the point in using a rope one for a kennel whip though, but you only realy need a few feet of leather on a kennel whip anyways n shouldnt hit the ground with that. never heard of rope ones before though. might stay a brighter white though than leather ones, stop you having to douse it in shoe paint
