Want to branch out into kink for the first time? A paddle knows what’s up. Want to punish? A paddle is there for you. Want to reward bad behavior? A paddle has your back, or more specifically your bottom. These seven paddles are easy to use and range in sensation from a light slap to a heavy sting.
Don’t forget to familiarize yourself with safety and safe targets before you start.
Aslan Leather Slapper
Into the idea and aesthetic of spanking more than the physical sensation? A slapper is a paddle-like impact toy that usually causes a less intense physical sensation than a paddle would, but consists of a firmer piece that hits the target and a floppy piece that hits the firmer piece, making a louder noise than a paddle alone. The Aslan Leather Slapper is made of two layers of flexible black leather and a reinforced handle and is 15″ long.
Sportsheets Leather Slut Paddle
Let everyone know your bottom’s a slut with the Sportsheets Leather Slut Paddle, a rigid black leather paddle with “slut” picked out in block letters in recessed red. It has a tapered handle so it’s easy to grip and a reinforced nickel hole so it’s easy to hang. It’s 12.50″ long by 1.25″ wide.
Sportsheets Saffron Ping Pong Paddle
This red vegan leather paddle has a larger surface area for thuddier, resonating sensation. If you’ve ever looked speculatively at a ping pong paddle but couldn’t bring yourself to play with, y’know, an actual ping pong paddle, the Sportsheets Saffron Ping Pong Paddle is for you. It’s 15.25″ long, 6.0″ at its widest point, and 0.25″ thick.
Fetish Fantasy Wooden Paddle
Wooden impact toys are a lot less flexible than their leather counterparts, which means the same amount of force is a whole lot stingier. This smooth, lightweight Fetish Fantasy Wooden Paddle is 0.2 inches thick, 11 inches long and 4 inches wide for what LoveHoney calls “a jolly good wallop.” Hopefully your experience with it, unlike its manufacturing process, will not be cruelty-free.
Tantus Pelt
As a silicone paddle, the Tantus Pelt can be super stingy, especially if any fluids are in play. Sweating a little? It’s going to hurt a lot more. If you’re not into the sting, it’s still worth considering a silicone paddle for one simple reason: unlike a paddle made of porous leather or wood, you can disinfect a silicone paddle by boiling it. Spanking genitals? Drawing blood? Playing with multiple partners? It’s all possible with a silicone paddle, without having to subsequently dedicate that paddle to that particular bottom. The Tantus Pelt comes in black silicone with a satin finish and is 11.6″ long and 3″ wide.
Fun Factory Buck Dich
The Buck Dich is also a silicone paddle, with a shining difference: it has a dildo as a handle. Or maybe it’s a silicone dildo with a shining difference: it has a round paddle as a handle. Either way, it’s weightier than its predecessor in the dildo-paddle arena, the Tantus Plunge, and as a paddle has a more rigid plastimorph core that makes it surprisingly thuddy. It also has one smooth side and one slightly textured side for different sensations. As a dildo, the Stronic Drei-derived ridges and curve are fun to grip with a hand or hole.
Dominix Braun Leather Paddle
Don’t you just hate when your ruler breaks before your bottom does? The Dominix Braun Leather Paddle is slim and stingy like a ruler but with staying power. It has a 6-inch studded brown leather handle and flexible, double-layered 13″ long body. Ouch.
