I do recall one time when a new boy was sent to me for the slipper for flicking a rubber across the room. At his old school the slipper had been used across trousers, and on his way to my office, put on an extra pair of pants. Needless to say, he was shocked to learn that i slippered on pants and he had to take his trousers down. Of course, i saw the extra pants and the punishment increased. Instead of two on his pants, he got four on his bare bottom. The slipper on bare flesh does not mark or hurt so long as the cane, but for a few seconds after contact, it stings more than the cane as a greater area is whacked.
