This paddle is generally going to be used for more playful times when the focus is on role-play or light spanking. This paddle, while used firmly, can produce a decent smack but it is not really meant for administering discipline or for those that demand a higher level of pain in their play.

This paddle is very well made with a heavy duty construction. It has a thicker and heavier black leather back that offers a different spanking sensation than the softer pink leather. I think this paddle will hold up very well even under rather heavy and rough use. It even keeps the "new paddle" leather smell for quite some time.

While this paddle is just adorable, it is capable of packing a decent wallop. It is not intended for hardcore BDSM scenes. For most people, this paddle should fit your needs if the whimsical look appeals to you.

Not much maintenance is needed. Just keep it clean and maybe use a leather conditioner once in a while to keep the leather soft and supple. Try to keep it dry, as wet leather tends to dry stiff.

There was no difficult plastic packing to remove. It is ready to go right out of the box.

This is great for role-play and most anyone with a spanking fantasy.
