The Impressions paddle is a paddle used for BDSM play. It is perfect for solo, couple or group play by those who are experienced or just starting out in BDSM play. Although the most common area of the body to use a spanking paddle is the butt, this paddle can be used to spank virtually any area of the body you please, from the butt to the thighs — or for the more adventurous — genital areas if you are into that kind of thing. This paddle is very versatile; it is up to you to choose how you wish to use it, which makes it perfect for users of any experience level.

The more force that is used, the more pain is inflicted from the impressions paddle.
While holding the paddle in ones hand, a gentle flick of the wrist with no serious force applied can provide a light-gentle-stinging sensation on the receiver. If you yearn for more pain then a slight sting, simple apply more force. This paddle can provide a very painful spank if used with a lot of force behind it.

I chose this paddle to be my first based mainly on the average size and cute design. I wanted something easy to handle, that will provide a nice hard spanking, and not be too intimidating if I was to introduce it to a new partner. The impressions doubles as a paddle and a slapper, meaning it is two pieces of leather with a read piece of paper in between them. The double slabs of leather create the loud "slap" sound when the paddle is in use, and the red paper is for decorative purposes (the 3 red hearts).

The paddle itself is 12 1/2 inches long and is surprisingly well made. The stitching appears to be very well done and secure, I have no worries of this paddle breaking any time soon. Considering how sturdy this paddle is, it is also very lightweight. It is easy to get a grip on/hold and does not weigh your hand down or cause any discomfort to the "spanker" (Only discomfort for the "spanked”, of course.)

Along the handle area of the paddle, the brand name "Sportsheets" is discreetly etched into the leather. At the bottom of the handle, a small silver O-ring is in place. Around the O-ring is a thick black string that can serve two purposes. One use would be to loop the string around your wrist while using the paddle to spank, for extra support to keep the paddle in your grip. The other use I see for the string is to use it to hang the paddle up on a wall, maybe in a closet if you wish to be discreet.

The impressions paddle met and exceeding my expectations of my first paddle. I have been into light BDSM (hand spanking, biting, etc.) for a while now and it is about damn time I got a paddle. The different sensations a paddle can provide as opposed to the hand spankings I am used to are amazing.

If marks are what you are looking for, this paddle can certainly provide them. I have very sensitive skin and mark very easily, with this paddle it takes a good medium force slap to leave a mark that lasts few hours. I am sure if this paddle is used full force it can leave a serious mark that may last more than a few hours depending on your skin/body. The paddle leaves very nice looking heart imprints on my bottom when used with enough force. The more spankings you receive, the more the marks fade into each other and do not look like heart marks anymore. I like to spank hard once on one cheek to leave the imprint, and deliver the pain of multiple spankings on the other. If you do desire the heart shaped imprints, the other side of the paddle is also completely functional.


I found that I really enjoy using the paddle to slap my thighs/butt over my clothes, something I never really enjoyed as much with a bare hand. The slapping sound is 50% of the turn on for me, so being able to hear that sound even without hitting bare flesh is seriously hot to me! The paddle performs great from a solo point of view. My main reason for purchasing this toy is for my work as a cam girl, to be able to provide a good spanking show without the hassle of a very sore hand. While that is my main reason for purchase, I enjoy this paddle so much I can see myself enjoying it solo off camera and I am looking forward to introducing it to couples play with my new partner as well.

As with any BDSM play, communication is key and if you are using this paddle with a partner you should communicate/have a few practice spanks before serious play. While I don't think this paddle could cause serious harm, I do believe it is best to make sure both you and your partner know beforehand your pain preference. Safety first, kids.

There was no packaging that came with the impressions paddle. The paddle was placed directly into the EdenFantasys’ shipping box with all my other goodies. The only thing that may be considered "packaging" on the product was a tag that was attached the O-ring of the paddle. The tag features a pretty hot picture if I do say so myself, of the paddle in a man’s hand, pressing the paddle against a heart shaped spanked bottom.
