This beautiful, high-quality purple fur-lined paddle by Spartacus is well worth it and I think everyone should have it. There are two sides: one is soft, while the other gives you that great stingy slap. What you get depends on what you like or whether you've been naughty.

It comes in a simple a clear plastic bag and that's it. No directions, but I'm sure it's self-explanatory. The only thing I smelled was the sweet smell of new leather. The faux fur is a rich royal purple and very pretty and soft to the touch. The leather parts of the paddle are all a luscious black and firm.

This paddle is oval shape and measures about 5.75" wide at the middle of the paddle itself. The paddle itself (the part that smacks your butt) is about 9.5" long so it'll be sure to please.

This paddle measures 15.5" long in its entirety. 6" of that make up the handle which is also 1.5" wide. There's even a thin leather wrist/hanging strap on the end of the handle that measure about 11" long.

It's crafted from two pieces of leather that have been stacked on top of each other and stitched together only as Spartacus could. You can barely see a seam. This process results in a .25" thick piece of leather with just the right amount of weight and flex but Spartacus didn't stop there! They added even more flare to this paddle by meticulously stitching an additional layer of dense, plushy, deep purple fur to one of the sides, resulting in an excellent product that will stand the punishment you put it through.

One of the great things about this paddle is that the fur-lined side can be used as a warm up. It provides a duller sensation that's more padded than the opposing side, and it really takes quite a bit of force before it hurts. It also feels great when rubbed up and down on the skin.

The all leather side is much more aggressive. Only the slightest amount of force is required for the sting. Redness will come easily, so swing with less power at first and move up from there. Remember to always listen to your sub or partner while doing this and have a safe-word.

This paddle is comprised of genuine leather and faux fur. If any of the leather components become dirty, they can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. You could also use a leather cleaner/conditioner to help keep it from drying out.

As far as the faux fur goes, a damp cloth and some mild soap should also work well to remove any dirt that may get on here and let it air dry.

I still love this paddle and use it quite often, but I tend to use my Spartacus paddle with holes more. It looks very similar with the size, shape and handle, but it is all leather on both sides with 8 air holes in the paddle so nothing slows it down.
