This is one of the most versatile paddles I've found. It's just the right size and shape for pussy whipping, but isn't too small to cover a good amount of area on larger places like, say, the butt or thighs. It's great for warm-up or heavier play later on in a scene. And because it leaves "Slut" on the skin, it does well in humiliation play.

I'd recommend this to just about anyone interested in S&M. It's easy to use so I'd happily place it in the hands of a beginner. It packs one heck of a wallop when desired, so I'd also recommend it to more experienced, more intense players as well.

The "Slut Paddle" is made of black leather with a red paper insert and a cloth wrist strap. It's 12 1/2" long from end to end. The handle makes up about seven inches and is firm and comfortable in the hand.

The business end makes up the remaining 5 1/2" and is two pieces of leather stitched back to back. The word "slut" is cut into one piece to leave an imprint on impact. The other piece is whole.

It came with a slip of red paper between the two pieces of leather. I gather from reading the other reviews that this piece of paper is supposed to be attached? Ours was not. Or if it was, M was able to dislodge it fairly quickly. One or two swats on my leg and the paper was gone.

When we received the paddle, the back of the impact end was rather firm. The part that says "slut" was slightly floppier. Now, however, years later, they are both rather flimsy. All in all, though, I think this toy has held up rather well considering how heavily, and often, M uses it.

You're not gonna use this toy at the in-laws without someone hearing what you're doing. Regardless of how hard you hit someone with it, the two pieces of leather slap together and produce a rather loud crack. To be honest, I think this toy would have been better named a "slapper" than a paddle.

It's light and thuddy and packs one heck of a punch without much effort. If you're just looking for a reaction, you don't have to swing it very hard to get one. However, producing the word "slut" on someone's flesh with this toy requires a rather strong blow.

The best thing to clean this paddle with is saddle soap. It cleans and protects the leather at the same time. As for storage, we either drop it in the toy box or hang it on the wall.

We have a lot of fun with this paddle. Unfortunately, having "slut" outlined on my body has long since lost its affect on me. But of the two paddles we currently own, this one is often the first thing I grab when M sends me to gather toys for play time.

M uses it to paddle pretty much any area he wants. It's not so heavy that it's too much for sensitive parts like my vagina or breasts, but not so light that it's to little for my butt or thighs.

We're probably going to have to replace ours soon. I noticed recently the stitching is coming out. But it's been years, and we're pretty rough on it, so I'm not all that surprised.
