If you're a sadist or a masochist, this toy is definitely for you! I would not recommend this toy to people new to pain play or spanking, at all. It's very thick and packs a hell of a punch. The textured sides add to the sensations and someone that's unsure of their pain tolerance doesn't need to try this toy out. It's not for beginners! But for those experienced in pain play and spankings, and those who know their limits, this toy is amazing. It's flexible but not overly so, and hurts like hell when swung.

The paddle is made of non-latex rubber (pvc), and is non-porous. It's sturdy and durable and seems that it will last a long time. It's almost a foot in length, a little over two inches wide, and less than an inch thick. The handle is textured for easy gripping, even when sweaty. It's well shaped for a spread out area of impact. It's weighty in the hand, but not heavy. It has no strong smells, either.

When we purchased this paddle, I damn sure was not expecting it to be as painful as it is. Thankfully, I am nothing if not a pain slut, so even with the surprise of the pain that it delivered, I loved it immediately. It's textured on both sides with raised nubs, which can change the whole feel of the strike depending on which side is used. This paddle went above and beyond expectations for us both. When swung with force, this paddle had me hopping around cursing his name, then giggling with delight. It's a great toy for spanking! I don't bruise easy, but this left marks on me for a few days, so those of you who bruise easy should take care when using it, because it could leave some hellacious marks!

Easy to care for and store. Just rinse off if it becomes dirty, and pop it in a drawer or box to store!

Not for people who don't enjoy pain! This toy delivers the pain in a big way and can bruise people easy. It's easy to think that this will be a toy for beginners, but it's not!
