You will be hard pressed to find a spanking company out there that doesn’t use the craftsmanship of the London Tanner.
A couple of posts ago I asked for the readers of this website, and over on Fetlife for their views on the implements of The London Tanners. Getting participation is sometimes harder than pulling a tooth with a pair of tweezers, but in this instance I was able to get 11 people to leave a testimonial of sorts. If you want to leave one yourself, just add it to the comments and I will move it to the main post.
Before I start with the testimonials, at the SSC party that I attend, I bought from Ian his CP Ruler Strap. His trusty sidekick, Nightowl, offered her bottom for me to test it on and I gave her 3 licks with it. Each one made her knees bend and I was a little surprised, so when I finished I whapped it on my hand to see what it felt like and holy smokes, that thing stung like a bitch, lol. I took the strap with me to Shadowlane and I met a vanilla there, the texture of the strap to her must have felt like a new born baby because she held onto the strap and cuddled it for an hour or more. It had a strong impact on her, how do I know? Well, within a couple of hours this young lady received her very first spanking as an adult, and it was all thanks to Ian’s strap.
This was one of the most memorable spankings I have ever given and I can’t thank Ian enough for that experience. In fact the girl loved the strap so much that I ended up letting her keep it, it was an experience that was worth a gift.
So what does everyone else have to say about The London Tanners? Here are the readers views.
Munchkin Said:
I have 2 LT implements. The Irish School Strap and I believe the other is called a Ruler Paddle. I absolutely love the bigger strap, it’s just the right weight and feel for a fun spanking, but can be used a bit harder for something more serious. I do like the Ruler Paddle as well, but as I’m not a big fan of sting I prefer the larger one, out of the two. I have tried iggy’s small leather paddle of Ian’s as well and liked that a lot.

ColoDom Said:
My sub (spank4fun) and I have quite a bit of the LT inventory. He definitely makes the highest quality implements. For heavy duty sessions (lol, mainly with others, as spank4fun is a medium player) I love the prison strap. Its OTK cousin, pictured being used on Samantha in RW’s post, is great fun for OTK play and very useful for light players. His doubled strap (sorry, don’t know Ian’s correct names) is great. spank4fun and I have a couple of friends (a M/F couple who both Top) who use two of them on her for maximum effect. Puts her in a proper submissive space everytime.
Zelle Said:
I own 3 London Tanner Implements (currently.. will have more by the time the party rolls around though!)
Here’s MY personal testimonial:
I’ve been an equestrian all my life. I know my leather. In my opinion, the London Tanner name should be a household word for all spankos. I can’t imagine anyone who’s not at least heard of them, or at one time or another seen at least one implement that came from TLT. They have a history that shows longevity in this genre that certainly backs up their quality and their dedication to their customers. I’d be willing to bet, that once a customer has one implement… they’ll be buying another … and then another.. and another, etc.. – JUST like I have. Not only does The London Tanner provide a quality product that has longevity .. but due to those products.. HE BRINGS LIKE MINDS TOGETHER for hours and hours of spanking fun! What could be more of a tribute than to say a wonderful leather implement brought people together as friends or play partners, so that they could expand their horizons?
I own … the spanking strop, and The Domestic Discipline and Boudoir Paddles respectfully. I hope to acquire a few more!

Miss Chief Said:
I love all of my LT toys, and feel no qualms about the monetary investment. They have to be some of the sexiest, and well constructed leather toys out there.
Cassandra Park Said:
London Tanners are the best leather implements out there. Still looking for a worthy victim for my Christmas Star Paddle, though.
KimmyN Said:
LT implements are some of the best straps and paddles made. I love them, even when they’re being used on me!!!
Spankologist Said:
Ian is a great and talented man…..a mentor to many / a friend to many….Hope I get to visit with him again in the near future if he is State-Side.
Blackvelvet007 Said:
Of all the leather implements in my toybag, the ones from London Tanners are the ones used most. They’re the most durable, they’re the most practical, they’re the most fun. If you ever have an opportunity to buy an LT strap, take advantage of it.
LovelyLaura Said:
That Domestic Discipline strap is SERIOUS!!
Morgan Said:
Richard, I have had the rare opportunity of touring the London Tanners International Headquarters when it was located in Florida and I am planning a trip to England in early summer where I hope to tour the new TLT International Workshop and perhaps get to visit the Tannery and witness the Oak Bark Tanning process. I have acquired the current entire Austere British Range (yet to have been used on human flesh) and will be bringing these 18 Vestal Virgins for their long awaited deflowering.
MzAttitude2Day Said:
Richard, I’ve been a serious collector of Ian’s leather goods for years, and that’s because he’s all about quality workmanship, great leather, and hand-stitching, something you rarely see offered. He offers impliments that no one else does and every year I look forward to his special Christmas toy, it’s always amazing. There’s a balance to his items that I haven’t found with any other leather craftsmen. And if you were to ask me which one was my favorite, my answer would depend on what I wanted to do at the time, but the majority of the items I use all of the time are from him. And frankly, after collecting him for years, I’m real snobby, lesser quality leather doesn’t interest me now.
Rad Said:
I absolutely love anything I’ve bought from London Tanner. These are not simply among my favorite toys but are without a doubt my favorites and ones I guard jealously. A strap I bought from him years ago is not only the implement I most love to use but has only gotten better as time has gone on. Not a loose stitch anywhere.
If he made canes, I’d buy those too. Hell, if Ian made potato chips I’d buy ’em.
And Finally:
Now it is your turn to buy yourself some of the finest quality leather goods on the market. I personally have some of Ian’s toys including a one of a kind Strap that I won at the FMS trivia contest. You will NOT find a better leather strap anywhere, I fully endorse Ian’s toys and you won’t regret it for one minute when you make a purchase, well, the bottoms may regret it a bit 😉 Click the banner below or at the top of the page and invest in the best straps money can buy. The London Tanners will be at the weekend and at the FMS party, so check them out and buy yourself something that will be a prize in your collection!!
My showing how much effect an implement of Ian’s has on my behind should count as a comment. 😉 I don’t mind one bit giving my two pennies worth in words also. We have a few of his implements and they are cherished and revered. I’ve felt them for both discipline and for stress relief…they certainly get the job done ! I think it’s fair to say that it’s obvious how much love & effort goes into the making of Ian’s handy-work.
