This is a great little spanker! (Especially for the price) The two flaps clap together and generate a lot of noise for a little slap. It is not heavy or intimidating at all. At just 12" x 3", it is a small tool and as such is more for show than genuine discipline.

The leatherette is fine for the beginners like us. As we are trying to explore and find out what we like and what we don't like, this paddle is a nice stepping stone for us and those that are looking to upgrade the spanking play. The heart shape can leave nice little designs on your partner's rump when you find the right level of pain and pleasure. The rivets on the handle provide a nice visual aspect as well as hold the flaps together.

For us the toy has been well enjoyed by both of us as the spankee and spanker. You really have to put some oomph behind it for it to "hurt". It is light enough to use on less thick parts of the body without fear of injury. Normally with the back, or sides, arms etc...careful control is needed to prevent bruising/injury. This is light and safe and quite a bit of force is would be needed to bruise anything.

Him: As the primary spanker I found it easy to find "the sweet spot" for her. Enough for the sound I like and the sting she loves! And the dual flaps make a lot of noise considering the light sting of the slapper. And it is a turn-on for me to see the well earned hearts from the paddle cut-out as I enjoy her from behind.

Her: This spanker gives a nice sound and a nice feel by the spankee! I enjoy each sensation it makes when my man bends me over and gives me a good whack with this toy. We were looking for a slapper to take our fun to a new level...it is light enough for beginners but also firm enough to give heavier handfuls of punishment when needed.

HIM: I surprised her with it one evening as the kids were out of the house. Much to her surprise "the Master" showed up that evening and demanded some attention. Soon enough she forgot herself and touched me without permission and viola...punishment time. I bent her over the bed and gave her a light slap to begin with to find out where in the sting range she liked it. Now she LOVES the sub role and as I laid on the spanking, like the naughty girl she is, she loved it. I gradually increased the force and she was loving every slap even when I thought it would be too intense. Needless to say when the lovely hearts appeared on her ass now reddened I was very, very pleased. And as I took her from behind those hearts were a nice ascetic.

Her: I love when the Master shows up, making me behave! This spanker was just a new way to have it delivered to me. The Master took charge of the "bad girl" and gave me a good slap all over...from my ass at first with a heavier hand to my breasts and pussy with a lighter one. But my favorite is bend over the couch with my ass in the air, getting my "just reward"! He went from light to heavier..back and forth as I enjoyed the sting that came forth!
