At school, it was a popular subject to compare the Head’s canings with Dad’s spankings or slipperings. I’d say that being caned doesn’t hurt as much as being slippered, but it persists for much longer afterward. Being caned at breakfast time, you could still feel the effects in the afternoon. Being slippered – but remember this was on the bare bottom – hurt a lot and took you to the edge of what you could tolerate, but 15 minutes later there was just a glow, and an hour later there was nothing to feel at all.
The best thing was that having had your punishment, the matter was never referred to again.
I had the slipper and the cane in one morning once but that was a kind of a mistake and another story.
