In my family we used a 3’ rattan cane, usually about a half inch in diameter.

The kids down the street were luck their Dad only used a belt.

"Go get me a switch," are the words I feared most back in the day. How defeating is having to procure and return to your punisher the instrument of your own torture?

I didn't misbehave much.

A belt... or razor strop... can be very effective if applied by a skilled technician. ;)
