This toy makes an okay paddle, though it cannot hold up against very strong use at all (It's from pipedream, so I really didn't expect much.). This toy will work for anyone who wants to give spankings to their partner and leave red marks. This is more for BDSM beginners, since it really can't withstand too much 'heavy' use. (It started to bend with really hard spankings)

The design of this toy is okay, but it's craftsmanship is quite sucky. It's a weak toy that cannot withstand up to much hard spankings without bending, and the handle is quite thick and can get uncomfortable after a bit of use. The paddle is two pieces of velvet over what I assume to be cardboard, sewn together from the handle up to about halfway through the paddle, then the two come apart, which, I guess is to make it make more noise when coming down. The paddle itself is velvet, and the only thing vinyl on it is the hanging strap. The feel is pretty nice, though it is bendable, so that's good for light play. This has no real smell, or taste. This is a pretty looking paddle, and it makes a nice thud when used.. It is very light, so people who cannot hold heavy paddles will enjoy this.

This worked okay for me, besides the not-great craftsman's ship, it's an okay paddle, and can be pretty fun for spankings. (and much easier on the hands!) The toy really doesn't meet my expectations, but it's still an ok paddle, it would be great for somebody looking for light play. I have not found any use for this paddle besides spankings and playing with the velvet (it's SO soft!).

This toy is easy to take care of, just make sure if it gets dirty to lightly take a damp cloth to it. I store it with it's hanging strap on my wall, and it stays put pretty well.

I got mine with the 10$ sale, though when it's full price it may not be worth it..
