This paddle is not what I expected as I have never heard of a floppy paddle and nowhere in the description does it mention that the paddle is flexible. If held still, the paddle does not bend or flop over; but, if you twist your wrist back and forth, the paddle part flops back and forth. In fact, my Master laughed at it and said its like spanking me with a pool noodle (you know, those hollow foam floaty things). Ever since he said that, I find it hard not to laugh when he does use it. Master paddled me once with his flip-flop (shoe) and this paddle hurts slightly more than the flip-flop. Luckily, it was buy one get one free day here at Eden and this was the free one (check out my review I will be writing on the ball-gag though).


It is a quality made black and red paddle, made of leather with padding on one side and just flat leather on the other side (it is just the two layers of leather stitched and bound together). Eden does provide a very accurate picture of the paddle. It is lightweight at only 0.3 lbs, is 3" wide and 14-1/2" long, is easy to grip, but is not balanced. Balance may not be all that relevant with this paddle, though. Of course, if you swing anything hard enough it will hurt but this paddle is more suitable for beginners and those into light spanking/paddling or no-show paddling.


We haven't used it enough to clean it yet. However, it is smooth leather and looks like a quick wipe down would do the trick as I don't see any sort of bodily fluids coming into contact with this. The red leather covering the padded section is supple so maybe a leather conditioner would be needed if used a lot.
