I have read many nostalgic posts on this forum relating to home slipperings, and as one who was regluarly slippered by both parents i am interested to know what type of slipper was used.
I remember my mums flat mule slipper having a nasty sting as I think it had a plastic sole. I also remember a espadrille being used from time to time and various sandals.
As i got older one of Dads old gym shoes was introduced, for the special purpose of correcting my behaviour.
It was a lady's slipper with a rubber sole. Stung like anything but no lasting damage. Mum was an expert using it - said she inherited the talent from her own mother!!

Yeah the slipper was the implement used for corporal punishment in our house from the time my brother and I went to school I guess. It was dished out by Dad and was the ultimate sanction - the biggest threat that could issued. As a deterrant it worked pretty well as it stung like hell. Administered while touching toes with the heel end of one of those old checked carpet slippers.

The slipper at home was usually in the form of my mother's Scholl sandals - if you don't remeber these they were the flat wooden soled shoes with a single thin strap(Popular again now....).She used this simply becuase it was the only this to hand (they were her hpuse slippers) apart from her from own hand. Although I never received the slipper at school, there it was given in the form of a plimsoll, both my brother and I certainly tried not to misbehave at home. Dad only used his hand, mum was the real disciplinarian as dad was always out to work and it was not easy for her looking after two boys.

Mum used an ordinary carpet slipper with a thin rubber sole that was kept for the purpose. It stung like crazy!

It is good to have Chris writing for us. She is a regular contributor to the voy.com forum and may possibly be related to the banned Helen.

I was punished by both mother and dad. Mother had a light leather soled bedroom slipper with a silly fluffy top - but it stung like the devil when applied to my bare bottom. Dad called his a slipper but it was really what we called in England a "sandshoe" - a rubber soled plimsoll. It was much more serious and left bruises which took two weeks to disappear.

Is the banned Helen, the same Helen that's wrote the second post
of this thread?

Yes, he is…probably.
For clarification and the avoidance of doubt, the man writing under the name of Helen has been banned from the voy.com forum, but not from here. In general, we welcome the participation of those who have been rejected by other sites.

Thanks for your clarification Subscriptions Manager, but for my
own curiosity and maybe others, how do you know Helen is a man?

His writings have not passed the Minge Test. His woeful ignorance of female underwear is shown in the final paragraphs of the first message in the thread entitled ‘A Forth Division Faker’.
