Blush XOXO paddle is a cute addition to a beginner's toy chest. While it's not top quality, it's a great starter piece that won't break the bank. Heavy players, you will probably laugh at this paddle! Grab it for a sexy boudoir shoot or leave it hanging in your room, because that's about the only use you'll get out of it.

We were looking for a sturdy paddle to be our first without spending a lot of money. This fit the money part but not the sturdiness. I would not recommend this for anyone.

This is a budget priced, entry level novelty. The quality of the materials and construction are reflected in its price. While its functionality is limited to light, fun use, if you are testing the water this will make a good transition from bare-hand spanking to paddling.

This is a great toy for those who are just begining their journey in BDSM. It is cute, lightweight, inexpensive, and doesn't leave much of a sting on your pocket book or buttocks. It was OK for me but I really was looking for a product that would leave a mark and sting a little.

Overall, as you can see by the pros and cons, this item is nice - especially for the price. The weight, size, and softness make it perfect for those who are just beginning to explore BDSM but not for someone who wants a more dramatic experience. Basically it comes down to your flavor of spanking. Do you like softer, playful spanking, or harder painful spanking? If you like playful, this is definitely for you! If you want it more painful, get something more substantial to do it.

This is a cute yet small sized paddle and is perfect for beginners. I am a first time paddle user and didn't like it much yet, because it seems cheaply made, but for the price of $7.99 I can't complain much. I am definitely giving it a try!

Would you like to hit yourself in the butt with a piece of cardboard? If so, this is the paddle for you. It's also especially attractive to those who want to see poor sewing and quality all around. Heaven forbid that you actually want to use this paddle as a paddle and feel even the slightest sting. This time, my frugality paddled me in the ass; spend a little extra for a better paddle!

Blushing XOXO paddle is especially great for beginners as it doesn't pack a heavy punch and could be a great warm up paddle for more advanced players.

This is great for beginners, but I found it to be much too lightweight and poor quality for an experienced user.

As a beginners paddle this is fantastic. It is non-intimidating and works as a great introduction to light BDSM. Unfortunately the quality is lacking, so the paddle probably will not last long term.

For those new to the paddling scene this is a great little starter toy! While you won't get the crisp easy to read lines that wooden cut out paddles can give it also won't leave your partner black and blue the next day. This is a pro or a con depending on the player! It's a great place for curious players to begin with it's light paddling ability and low price.

The blush paddle won't make your "cheeks" blush. This is a very lightweight paddle that barely provides any stinging sensation, which a paddle of its shape should. It could be great as a prop to a costume but its performance as a paddle is mediocre at best.

This is a great toy for an entry level beginner, but if you're looking for something that will truly "leave a mark" then you may want to keep up your search.

If you're going for the benefits without spending an arm and a leg, there's nothing seriously wrong with the xoxo. If you're picky about the little things like the unanchored cut-outs, you may want to keep looking.

The Blush paddle isn't very powerful at all. It hits very gently and does not leave the XOXO imprints promised. However, for the price, it seems to be decently made and should last a while. The material, faux-leather, is also vegan friendly and easier to care for than actual leather.

Save your money, try another paddle. It won't make you scream for more, and it won't give you really cute XOXO marks.

Ok, so I definitely think this is worth the money. Yes, it's a little girly but it doesn't always have to be hardcore all the time. The fact that it's not real leather will gain a wider audience. I wouldn't be exploring paddle or crops if they weren't vegan, so that definitely works to its advantage. The promise of the cutouts leaving marks on the skin was super appealing and a strong reason why I bought it, but in reality, falls a little flat.

In my opinion is it is cheaply made and won't withstand heavy beatings. It is great for beginners in spanking.
