It's not necessary, but it will improve the "fluid" feel of the fibers as they wrap around your body. We recommend using the "Swiss Navy" silicone lubricant. See our tutorial on "Light Whip Cleaning & Lubrication" for more.

Best purchase I’ve made in a while

I love my light whip – it’s seriously awesome! The colors are vibrant, the patterns are mesmerizing, and it flows so smoothly when I dance with it. It makes me feel so free and connected to the music, and every time I bring it out at a rave or show, people stop and stare.

Sir_flowsalot

Immediately fell in love with this!!!

140, 200, or 300 Fibers?

All fiber heads are superb for Light Whipping - the right option depends on how you like to move.

140 Fibers

200 Fibers

300 Fibers

140 Fibers

Best for beginner to intermediate flow artists. Lightweight, easy to control, less fatiguing, great for learning technique and clean shapes.

200 Fibers

Intermediate sweet spot. Balanced weight and fullness. Still very manageable, but more visually impactful. This is the most versatile option.

300 Fibers

Advanced. Heavier, thicker, and more physically demanding. Best for strong off-body flow, lacing, and powerful movement. Can feel overwhelming if you are not used to weight.

The more fibers –
the brighter it is

The more fibers – the less you
care if some fibers break

weights: 140 fibers – 3.8oz,
200 fibers – 4.2oz, 300 fibers – 8oz

RGB Critter Flashlight
weight - 8oz

Sparkle or End Glow?

Both options create beautiful light trails - the difference is in texture, durability, and overall feel.

END GLOW

Bright tip glow with durable build. A cleaner, more classic light whip look with better durability. Great if you want a practical, long-lasting option for regular use.

Choose End Glow if you want durability first.

SPARKLE

Twinkling, star-like light effect. Adds tiny twinkling lights along the fibers for a more textured, magical look. Best if visual shimmer matters most to you.

Choose Sparkle if you want the most decorative visual effect.

WE HAVE SOME ANSWERS!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is everything I need included in this product?

How durable are the fibers?

The fiber optics used for this product (Standard version) are high-grade 0.75mm end glow fiber optic cables and they are very durable and will withstand all kinds of rugged use.
We have been sourcing fiber optics from the same manufacturer for over 10 years now and our fiber optic products are widely considered the most durable on the market.
Sparkle Fibers show tiny twinkling lights along the length of the end glow fibers. They are more prone to breaking. Please be gentle with the Sparkle Fiber version of the Fiber Optic Costume Kit to avoid unwanted fiber breakage.

What are Sparkle fibers?

What's the difference between the 140, 200, and 300 fiber options?

All fiber heads are superb for Light Whipping! Select higher fiber count heads for off-body whipping, rope dart style & lacing/tracing. The extra weight & thickness provide a superior fiber grip and movements similar to staff spinning.
We recommend using lower fiber counts for more tech related flow. Lower fiber counts offer greater flexibility and are perfect for creating shapes such as triangles, lines, & circles.

Do you have any tutorials on to use the BitWhip?

Can I connect 2 BitWhips back-to-back?

Can I cut the fibers to my desired length?

What is the difference between the BitWhip and the Fiber Optic Costume Kit?

How do I properly store the fibers?

How do I clean the fibers?

Should I use lube?

Fibers are catching snags while I flow. What do I do?
