The best use for this toy would be Light spanking, or role play. The Paddle would be best used for a beginner, due to it's Girly look, but since it's well made it could hold up to the hardest of spankings. The Pink side is a bit softer, for lighter spankings *although the gems in the eyes provide a sting!* whereas the black side is better for harder spankings. This could also be given as a gag gift, since it's cute enough to hang up on the wall if the person didn't want to use it for sexual things.

The teddy bear design is quite cute, although, the handle is a bit harder to hold and could be made a teensy bit smaller since it would be hard for women with smaller hands then myself to hold. This toy is very well made, and will last a very very long time even under heavy& Daily use. It is made of leather, and the pink side is a a bit softer then the black side, therefor providing different sensations when spanked. It is very soft and supple feeling, and has a very light smell that does take a while to go away. It has a hole on it's head, with a hanger in it so that it can be hung on the wall or your closet.

It worked very well for me, the paddle provided a decent sting, depending on your wants or needs this would be a great paddle for you, since the pink side provides more of a smack, but still has a well sting, where as the black side provides a heavy thud and feels amazing.. I have yet to find any unexpected applications for the paddle besides spanking. Warning: This does leave some marks if you aren't careful, and the jewels can hurt a bit.

Since this is leather, you can clean it with a damp cloth if it gets dirty, and some mild soap, though I do not recommend cleaning this constantly, since leather gets a bit stiff if you aren't careful with getting it wet and how you dry it out. It is very easy to care for if you are gentle with it. I store it inside a box, but it could be stored on the wall, too.

The paddle was packaged simply in a clear plastic wrapping with a tag on it. The user's instructions were included, but simple.
