Nice and light, this paddle will help you bring a little bit of rougher play into the bedroom. With a light snapping sound and the sparkling rhinestones that line its edges, this toy will not only excite your sense of feel but also provide a tantalizing visual and auditory experience. Black synthetic material covers the paddle, with light reinforcement in the center. Comfortable to hold and pleasing to use, this toy should provide what you are looking for in a beginner paddle without costing too much.

While it may not provide the heavy-duty wallop that some would prefer, it's a great toy for those new to S&M or for when you only need a little love tap. However, I have to admit that this was a toy that I used once and kind of forgot about(In my opinion, nothing can replace a well-timed slap on the by hand). There are not a lot of varying activities it can be used for, and I didn't always feel like the occasion called for rhinestones (However, this would be a GREAT bridal shower gift, especially if the bride were easily embarrassed or not the rough-in-bed type at all, since it has an ostentatious appearance). It does has the potential to incorporate well into dress-up scenarios or situations where props and themes are being used.

If you are looking for something to use for a special evening of exploratory play, this would be the toy for you without a large investment. While it is light and appears fairly cheap and easy to manufacture, it seems as though the Diamond paddle will last a decent amount of time. The smooth synthetic surface also seems like it would be easy to clean, and makes it very easy to store. Just toss it in a bag or drawer when not in use.

I don't think I've used it once. I've contemplated whether or not I could work it into anything, but mostly I've discussed it with people as an oddity. I'm pretty sure that if I pulled it out in the bedroom, the experience would fall flat. Maybe someday. I'll keep it in my bag, and perhaps I will be inspired eventually.
