My favorite part about this is that it’s silicone. I have nothing like it, and I wondered how it would feel. It’s a thuddy, stingy feeling and is a little more painful than a wood or leather paddle, but it has a different kind of pain than a resin paddle. It’s easy to clean and submerge completely in water, and I love the hoop at the end, so I hang it on my wall for easy access! This toy is also latex-free, so that’s a plus for me and anyone else with latex allergies. I used this with my boyfriend in a usual BDSM session, and he enjoyed this toy just as much as I did.
