We bought this as a beginner paddle, hoping it would make us blush, sadly it did not. The paddle is simply a paddle made to help spice things up a little for those that desire these types of toys. The paddle measures about 12 inches in length and is approx 2 inches wide at it's widest point. It is made of faux-leather that is covering a plastic base. The plastic is very flimsy and we were scared to do to much with it in fear of it cracking. You can use this paddle for swipes across the butt but also due to the lightness of it could be used for breasts or other places you would like to feel a little sting. One side of the paddle is solid pink, while the other side is pink with XOXO pattern cut out; these appear in black. There is black stitching running around the paddle and a metal grommet at the end which had a ribbon tied to it for hanging up.

I could definately feel a difference between a swat with my husband's hand and when he used the paddle; being that the paddle felt like a child was hitting you. This is not the sensous feeling we had hoped for when taking a chance and buying this paddle.

This paddle is not discreet as anyone that sees it will know what it is used for. It would be okay for travel as the slim design would make it easy to slip into a bag or suitcase. For cleaning purposes a wet rag and a small dab of soap will clean it well. Make sure it is dry before putting into a bag or anything of that nature.

Even as a beginner I was very unimpressed with this paddle and will not be recommending it to anyone anytime soon. The price was right; it was under $10.00 but that is all I could find to like about this paddle.

Having decided that this was not the paddle for us; we made the decision to get rid of it. Wish it could have worked out better.
