I was so excited to receive this paddle. When I finally got it, I was EXTREMELY impressed. It is very well made and adorable. This is the Kitty Spank-Her paddle by Ruff Doggie Styles. It can be used for a light or heavy spanking, as the name of it suggests. It can also spank him as well, it doesn't have to just spank her. It could also be used for teasing by rubbing up and down the body of your partner. However you decide to use this, it will not disappoint. This would work for both beginners and advanced users, it just depends on what you are looking for.

The Kitty Paddle is designed very beautifully. The front of it is made of a pink suede with black stitching throughout to make it look like a kitty. The back is a black smooth leather, which can be quite stingy when used. The paddle itself is shaped like a cat in sitting position with a long tail for the handle. Inside the tail handle, there is a reinforcement which I believe to be a flat metal rod to keep the handle part sturdy and rigid. The top of the paddle is slightly flexible, but not much. This paddle has a slight smell to it, just a leather smell, not heavy at all. It is very well made and will last for a very long time.

The size of this paddle is great, very easy to hold. It only weighs about a half a pound so it isn't very heavy for the female users out there. It is 14 inches long and 5 inches at the widest point. So it really is a nice size, not too big and not too small.

The Kitty Paddle definitely performed up to my standards. It has been used quite a few times by both me and my husband and it is holding up quite well. I love using the soft side for teasing, then when punishment is needed, out comes the black side. When the black side is used, it gives a nice stingy pain. The pink side is much softer so its not as painful, great for warm up play. It really depends on how rough you are with it. That will determine how much pain you will inflict. The different materials on both sides really make this a versatile paddle. This paddle will leave kitty imprints so if you like leaving marks, you'll love this. Overall, it performs great and didn't disappoint at all. We will be using this for quite a while.

Storing this is very easy, you could lay it flat or hang it from the hook at the bottom of the tail. As far as cleaning, I use a baby wipe or just a wet cloth with very mild soap. Wipe very gently on the pink side because of the suede fabric.

The packaging is very simple. It came in the clear plastic bag. Thats it. It also had a tag with the company name, the product name, and some basic information tied around the kitty's neck. You could take off the tag and keep the little black string for a collar if you want, I just took mine off. It will fall off during heavy play anyway.
