Hairbrushes: what material were they made out of? etc....

For those of you spanked with the hairbrush what material were they made out of?etc… My own Mom's Hairbrush was made out of cherry wood! It was solid, hard and could ‘pack some sting’ let me tell you!! It was also small and compact enough to fit in Mom's Purse whenever we went anywhere! So her ‘weapon of choice’ was always ‘ready to hand’, so to speak! My Aunt Rose, in contrast, had an ivory colored, celluloid hairbrush which if anything had a greater ‘sting and burn’ than Mom's brush. Either that or Auntie Rose was a more adept spanker than my own Mother!? LOL Both brushes, my Mom's and my Aunt's had rectangular (paddle) shaped ‘business ends’. Out of general interest and curiosity, for those of you reared - no pun intended - on The Hairbrush are there any distinguishing features or characteristics you remember about it? Apart from the fact that these dreaded implements obviously hurt like hell! LOL

Mom had a “nice” wooden Fuller Brush hair brush. Also a cheap long-handle plastic shower back scrub brush. Both were very effective on my bare backside - more so when applied by my father.

My mom had an old wooden maple looking hairbrush that she normally used on me. It was rectangular and had kind of yellow bristles in it. It stayed on her dresser and when needed it came off to be used on my bare bottom. Over her lap and then she’d alternate cheeks and spots until my butt was beet red.

My Mom and Aunt were, like your Mother, Baileybird, methodical and systematic spankers! They also spanked from cheek to cheek, not stopping till the recipents bottom was, as you yourself put it, ‘beet red’! Our butts were always ‘hot to the touch’ and glowing all over by the time they were done! Aunt Rose, in particular, always did an especially thorough job on our backsides when applying ‘The Celluloid’ - her celluloid hairbrush! Not that Mom was any slouch when it came to administering a spanking, either; and both always made sure that our ‘sit spots’ were never neglected!!! LOL

Hi reddevil, ‘the Fuller Brush man’ loved by moms all over America and loathed by American kids in equal measure! How our bottoms suffered because of that Man and his infernal Company! LOL

Oh yes, I had forgotten about the yellow bristles till you mentioned it.

I had one aunt that used a hairbrush for spanking. For my cousins it was the routine tool used for spanking at their house. I experienced it as well when staying there several weeks each summer. That brush was made from a light colored wood, flat backed and rectangular with rounded corners. It definitely packed a punch.

Hi John,

Were the spankings your Aunt gave bare bottom and over the knee? What was your own Mom's ‘weapon of choice’?

This Aunt always used her hairbrush on our bare bottoms. They were over the knee until we had grown enough to make that impractical, so we were then bent over a piece of furniture.

My parents also used a more traditional paddle. A ‘fly-back’ paddle initially, then about age 9 I made its successor. Posted here:

I wonder how many parents when buying ‘fly-back’ paddles as presents had in mind a future purpose for them as very effective BOTTOM SPANKERS!! LOL

I have an old Shadow Lane hairbrush. Heavy, oak, and very effective.

Always wood, but most often an antique made of ebony!

My dad and I both chose softer wood brushes with large faces. The large face distributes the force of a smack over a larger area causing a good sting and the soft wood is less dense and therefore can do less bruising damage than a hard wood brush. We found that a soft wood brush with a large face could provide a most unpleasant sting that made the spanking memorable while greatly reducing the risk of anything but a transitory, very unpleasant disciplinary result.
