When first opening the box and taking out the paddle, I was both intrepid and nervous. I really enjoy a good stinging spanking, but at the same time, I knew that this would really pack a punch. My partner and I typically use a ping pong paddle for the main punishment item, but those are not quite as good at staying together over time. This leather paddle seems like it will last many spankings with the way it was made. I think it will take a bit of time to get used to knowing how much impact it will make depending on how it is swung, but practice makes perfect. Some people say that the string is too short on the end of the paddle, but I don't see that being much of an issue for us.

When my partner used it for the first time on me, she had definitely put a really good swing on it and made quite an impact on my butt. It left a deep red mark and left quite a sting. It was a very good first impression that the paddle had to my butt, and I am happy to have gotten it. I can see it being a good companion for quite some time to come.

At one point I had to discipline my partner, and we used the ping pong paddle on one cheek and this paddle on the other cheek. She said that it felt the same in pain. I think I may not have swung the paddle quite as hard as I should have to, so if it felt the same with less swing. It will definitely sting more with a stronger swing. I can't wait to try it again with more of a swing and really get to give a deeper red mark on her buttock cheeks.
