Our caning is always on our buttocks.!It is because,if given on the palms,it can INJURED us,this is what my headmistress thinks.If the caning is given on the buttocks,it only hurts,no other side effect injuries,furthermore we are caned with clothing on,so it is less painful than get caned on the palms.

There is the theory that a caning on tight clothes is more painful than on the bare flesh because the clothing does not let the flesh deflect and absorb the energy in the same way. When the clothing is retained for the sake of modesty it can be more painful. I was caned at school both on my bare bottom and on top of trousers but they both hurt and left bruises. I think it depended which master gave the caning and what mood he was in.
