The Jackboot Over the Knee Paddle by Icon Brands, is a wooden and rubber paddle made for light to heavy BDSM impact play. This paddle can be used for just a good firm spanking to consensual punishment and in between. Because of the design it is rather masculine looking, but any gender can use it. Though those with smaller hands may want to find a paddle with a thinner handle.

Though you do want to be careful, this paddle will leave marks! So always talk with your partner about how far you and they want to go before play. If you are not into leaving bruises you will want to look for a different toy, even when used as light as I could manage it still left some marks.

The paddle is made to look like the underside of a rubber boot, one side having the sole which is attached to a long plank of wood. The wood is very sturdy even if it seems on the slightly thin side. While it does seem thin the wood and the rubber combined give this toy a lot of heft, so it is on the heavy side. The handle itself is long enough that you can hold it, but I found that it was wider then I was comfortable holding in my hand for a long period of time. So those with larger hands will love the grip they can get on this toy, while those with smaller hands may feel they need to switch hands to let the other rest now and then.

The paddle has a hole that has a loop for hanging the paddle from, it looks to be leather from what I could tell. The same leather seems to be used also on the handle of the paddle, but because there was no other packaging information other then a tag it gave me no indication as to what this part of the paddle was made of.

Both the wooden and rubber side of this paddle are totally able to be used on your partner.

The wooden side like most wooden paddles gives a nice stinging sensation when used. But its the rubber side that really packs a whallop. The tread on the boot can and will leave marks on the skin. The rubber does make it far more thuddy then stingy to me when in use, like it is taking some of the impact. But even after a couple of good swats with that side you can see the skin getting nice and red. I personally bruise rather easily and it only took about 10 to really bring up some serious redness that turned into some lovely brusing later on. I also found that the tread on the rubber side was great for just running over the body lightly and teasing it as well.

But having the dual sides allows you to switch things up with out having to resort to another toy wich is nice.

Because rubber is porous you want to take care of this in a very careful manner, I suggest wiping down with a damp warm cloth after play and allowing it to air dry before you put it away anywhere.

To store it you can easily tuck it into a drawer or if you are not worried about people seeing it (or have a hidden place) you can hang it as well from the leather loop that is attached at the end of the handle.

There is not a lot of packaging to speak of, when I got mine it came in a simple see through plastic sleeve that was easy to take it out of. The only other packaging was a small tag on the loop at the end of the paddle. It gave the information about what the paddle is made of in several different languages and information on how to find more information out about the company via their social media.
