Overall this paddle exceeded all my expectations as my first paddle and I will recommend this to everyone I possibly can, words cannot describe how much I love this toy; the design included! If you're looking for a super stingy bad-ass paddle that will last plenty of sessions at an affordable price this may indeed be exactly what you're looking for. HOWEVER, I would not suggest this to people just starting out in pain play as it can be fairly harsh in inexperienced or sadistic hands.

I'm pleased to have this paddle in my arsenal- it's firm, stingy, and cute to look at. It's nice to have a paddle that manages to be cute without being cutesy, and at the end of the day, it's just a damn good paddle.

The Distressed Heart Spank-Her is a cute paddle that is made with quality in mind. It definitely leaves a stingy sensation that should be approached with caution, but if you like wooden paddles or stinging, this paddle is definitely worth the purchase.

The Distressed Heart Spank Her by Ruff Doggie Styles is a lightweight textured leather paddle with an interesting grungy sort of print. It's stiff, and sturdy. Small enough to be carried in a medium sized purse. Comfortable to hold. But don't let the fact that it's made of leather fool you! It's just as unforgiving and slappy as wood.
