I must admit this was one of the prettiest paddles I'd ever seen before. With the multi-color metallic crackle print on one side, the Illusions Spank-Her was definitely geared towards women and, apparently, women's behinds. As far as myself, and most of the women I know, we are generally in the business of spanking men, so I was a bit put-off by the name of this paddle, "Spank-HER." So what, it's not harsh enough to spank men's behinds? I'll be the judge of that.

 First off, the paddle is fairly small, only about 13" long, so it's very portable for a traveling professional like myself. You can easily store it in a purse or toy bag, and it also has a strap for hanging on dungeon walls. It's made from durable leather and very sturdy in design. The paddle part is very stiff and unyielding, which makes administering a harsh spanking very easy. It's definitely NOT something I would want used on myself!

 My first victim with the Spank-HER was a male submissive who was somewhat experienced and could handle a decent spanking. Within a few harsh slaps, there was already some bright redness on the cheeks, and by the time, I was done with the spanking (after several minutes), there was some serious damage. Slave-boy would definitely have trouble sitting the next day; that's for sure. Subsequent uses yielded mixed results, with novices unable to handle more than about ten slaps and more experienced bottoms not as impressed by the power of the little paddle.

 Overall, I'd say this is a nice addition for someone looking for an aesthetically pleasing paddle for their dungeon or portable playset. Though I'd change the name "Spank-HER" to "Spank-HIM," it's still a nice durable toy that will last a long time if well taken care of.
