What's that in the corner? It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's the Fluffy Heart Spank-her Paddle by Ruff Doggie Styles! And as soon as we spotted it, it promotly came home with us. My wife and I only started exploring sex toys with each other, so there has been a learning curve involved. I never thought of having a paddle in the bedroom, but one day when my wife and I were at our local sex shop, she noticed this wonderful heart paddle hanging behind the counter, and she instantly said that we had to have it. This was a surprise to me for sure.

This paddle is mainly an impact toy. One side of the paddle is made out of 1/4 inch thick leather, while the other side of the paddle has a pink faux fur lining. It is 11 inches long, 5.75 inches wide across the heart, and has a handle length of about 5 inches. It also has a small cord at the end of it which you can use to hang it up. In between the leather and the faux fur is a metal reinforcement piece that allows the heart paddle to withstand years or use (or abuse). It is good for both beginners and experienced players alike. However, beginners should be careful with the leather side of the paddle because it does have quite a bit of sting to it, even without it being swung too hard. The leather does not give at all!

My wife does not like rough play really, but she does enjoy the furry side of the paddle. I can put some decent muscle behind it and it does not hurt my wife, but it does produce a nice thud. I personally enjoy the hard leather side, and it produces a nice sting when my wife hits me, even when she does not hit me that hard. You could also use the fur side of the paddle to ease the pain after an smack or just for teasing a blindfolded partner. Being shaped as it is, this is not an airport friendly item. If security decided to search your bag, this items intended use would be easy to identify.

We have now had the paddle for close to two years, and it is still working great. Without any care to it, the leather only has a few small cracks, and the faux fur is still in place. The edges of the fur appears to have "receded" a little bit, but the paddle is still very firm and does not flop around any. For product care, a leather cleaner could be used on the leather side, and for the fur side, you could just wipe it down with a wet cloth. However, the fur side can not be sanitized, so sharing it between partners is not recommended, especially if you draw any bodily fluids.

It has been two years since our purchase, but from what I remember, there was just a tag hanging from the paddle, and that was all there was to the packaging. Nothing else, no wasted materials involved.

This paddle has been a very nice surprise to our collection. I would have never thought a few years ago that this would be so much fun. If by some chance that it does break or wear out in the future, I will definitely be buying another one, but this time I will buy it through Eden Fantasy's.

This is still holding up wonderfully. We have it hanging in our closet with a lot of our other toys, and the wear and tear on the paddle hasn't changed since I wrote this review almost a year ago. Unfortunately I just noticed that this paddle has been discontinued, so I will have to look for something new when it comes time to replace this.
