I Have Been Spanked With A Switch

So if you have been spanked with a switch before or use a switch on your children then how severe are the marks? Is it just some red welts or worse than that? I've heard stories of the switch cutting the skin causing bleeding. How many strokes do you/do your children receive? and do you/do your children have to strip naked for a switching? How far is too far with the use of a switch? I find the wooden spoon much safer.

I got the switch on the palms of the hands in my primary school - six strokes that made my palms red and stinging for 2-3 hours. The switch were/is in use here and of course it leaves marks, without cutting the skin, for usually it is flexible (fresh-cut) and not too thick. It is effective on the bare skin, indeed: bare bum, thighs or legs. As a babysitter I remember I switched once an 8-year-old brat boy - I gave him about 10 strokes and made him to be an angel for the rest of the day
