After I locked onto my first paddle I was looking at a secondary one though was down to the wire on my budget already though I spotted this adorable paddle at a appealing budget price and couldn't resist tossing it into my cart and damn am I glad as hell that I did.

The Pink Play Heart Paddle is an amazing paddle for so many reasons, all of which I tell my friends and other kinksters and then I drop the price which blows them out of the water and sends them running to EF. This paddle isn't the stingiest or thuddy either but for the price its an excellent first paddle for anyone and everyone in my opinion, as well as a great 'warm-up' paddle for moderate masochists like myself.

The paddle delivers a firm thwack but doesn't hurt quite as much as my other paddle (the Distressed Heart Spank-her) per blow though it leaves my rear or paddled part nice and rosy with color quite quickly; however this paddle does flex a tiny bit in use though that is barely noticeable (it has give I suppose due to being not the heaviest or thickest cut of leather). I can easily withstand many whaps from this cute pink paddle successively and thoroughly enjoy it the more and faster its used (although like my other toys I only have my own hand's paddling power to go on at the time of writing this).

The Pink Play Heart Paddle is 12" in total length and about .5 of a centimeter thick, it has many shiny (ooooo shiny!) rivers holding its handle together as well as being sewn nicely together around its entire body (both the handle and paddle portions) with 3 hearts situated in between the two layers of pink leather (thus why its called the Pink Play Heart paddle); it also has a small leather loop attached to the hole at the end of the handle to hang it on the wall/whatever as well although that tends to stay bent out of shape more often than not.

For cleaning I'd suggest a slightly damp cloth but not overly damp as water may cause the leather to crack eventually, thoroughly dry afterward but not roughly. I don't know if leather conditioner would be of much help to this toy but I don't suppose it could hurt either though from what I can tell the leather its made with is naturally moist and supple and doesn't show signs of wear as of yet.

Overall for the price you cannot find a better paddle...hell, I don't even think someone could MAKE a paddle on their own this cheap yet well made, I am very pleased with this toy and may soon invest in a second one (yes, I love it THAT much!).

I still am amazed how good this paddle feels for the cost I paid for it. It's my go-to paddle for when I just want to give myself a bit of impact play on days where I feel like I could really use a good scene and takes a little bit of the edge off those emotions. Highly recommended for any and all toy boxes. As well, the pink color isn't that bad (as you can sort of see in the video) in case you're worried about having a 'girly' product around.
