A dragon's tail is a kind of whip used in BDSM play consisting of a long, stiff handle and a single lash - usually made from leather or suede. The lash is a triangular shape (like a dragon's tail or tongue) with the wide end partially wrapped in a cylindrical shape protruding from the end of the handle. The thin pointed end of the triangle makes contact with the recipient’s skin upon striking.
