because it meant my partner could stroke my red cheeks in between spankings and then grab the paddle again quickly. The head of the paddle is comprised of 2 pieces of leather and a red piece of paper between them to give contrast. One side of the leather has the words SLUT cut out backwards so when it hits skin the words will be the correct way round.

I was a bit disappointed that the contrasting colored material was only paper, which I ripped whilst inspecting, but it is only for design visual purposes after all so wasn’t a big deal. The entire length of the paddle is about 13” with the head of the paddle measuring about 1 ½” inches by 4 inches.

Because my partner and I are not heavy spankers, I told him to go easy on me at first. So I lay over the bed with my bare ass in the air anticipating the spank and was met with a nice warm slap from the paddle. I knew it wasn’t going to be hard enough for the words to appear so I asked him to just hit me hard. Sure enough, I heard his wrist swing and a shortly after felt a sharp pain across my right cheek. About 20 seconds later I heard a “wow… ooh” from my partner, which I know meant the word had showed up.

When the paddle hit my cheeks, I definitely felt a rush. At first it was a very sharp pain, which gradually turned into pleasure and excitement at knowing the letters had hopefully appeared across my bare cheek. We tested the paddle thourougly and it held out very well and still looks brand new even after many uses.

Because we are novice spankers and paddle users, we did not play out a "scene" or get into roles we simply used the paddle to achieve the desired effect, which was that of the word SLUT appearing on my bum! A few hard spanks later and I was both satisfied and warm with pain.

In all honesty, this paddle is more of a novelty item, and you should not expected for the word SLUT to appear 100% clearly with every spank.
The Impressions paddle slut|Impressions paddle slut will add that extra spice and sizzle to any toy collection and just knowing what you are being spanked with is a sure turn on. As far as sound is concerned, this paddle definitely gives quite a cracking slap sound when it touches the skin, meaning it would be best used when nobody else is around.

I would give the paddle 4 out of 5 stars because it was fun, unique and did its job well. This paddle is well made and will last a while, and will add that extra level to your BDSM fun.
