The Cane on the hands was more than a bit stupid and it was amazing it was ever allowed.
The Junior Cane was always used for hand caning, Very whippy and it did indeed jangle your bones. Heavier Canes were used for caning of the bottom which was a terrible experience.
Much worse on the bare if you ask me than it was over trousers and underwear?
I received more canings across my satin/nylon shorts than i care to remember and i couldn`t tell the difference between that and getting it on the bare!
Maintaining a keen interest in the practice these days from the other end of the Cane/Tawse always gives me the benefit of personal experience on just how much it hurts those on the receiving end.
