The Blush xoxo Paddle by Sportsheets is a thirteen inch long faux-leather paddle.


There were so many high hopes for this paddle, the promise of an ass with XOXO imprints and thighs that were sealed with XOXOs and maybe even my boyfriend having the XOXO on his ass. However, this paddle fell short.

There are so many ways that this paddle could have succeeded. If only I hadn't become spoiled with my real leather paddle then maybe this paddle would have been able to provide me with some kind of sexy sensation. Instead it just left me pissed off. When it arrived I shook my box, I heard it rattle, and I was so excited.


I was more than excited when I ripped the box open, however what I pulled out of the box disappointed me. I only ordered this paddle so that I could have a cute paddle with XOXO imprints. I did received a "cute" paddle. But that is all I received.

The touch of this paddle is smooth, but all too soft. I missed the feel of a firm paddle. I wanted something to make me scream when I was hit with it. So I smacked it against my hand, so sting. I smacked harder, no sting. I was confused. I thought this was a paddle.

I called my boyfriend and decided it was testing time, we tried the paddle through clothes. The result: No sensation what so ever. I stripped down to my panties, The result: I could feel the smack, but there was no exciting sting. The test I was most excited for, bare skin. The result: even after several hard smacks, there was no imprint, no sting. Nothing.



I was disappointing with how cheap the craftsmanship was. After two uses my paddle is coming apart. The paddle consists of faux-leather, what seems like Styrofoam padding and some plastic where the XOXO is. There is also what I can guess is a wooden stick inside, which makes it slightly firm.

Care and storage is easy. It comes with a ring at the bottom and I hang mine from a tie hanger in my closet. It could even be thrown in a drawer. All I do to clean mine is a damp paper towel, but I don't see much need to actually wash it.

If you are VERY new to BDSM, you might find some need for this as a bare bones, total cushion paddle.

Bottom line, save your $8 and buy a ruler.

I'm in desperate need of a new paddle, and this one did not fit the bill. It wasn't exciting, just disappointing.

I think maybe I was a bit too harsh on this paddle to begin with. I've found that I have grown fond of it. I don't LOVE it, and I don't HATE it anymore. It has its bright sides, it is a very light paddle that can be used on those who shy away from heavy spankings. I like to use this paddle when I'm in the mood for a VERY light spanking.
