Key Things about Spanking Paddles
We have a complete guide on how to choose a BDSM spanking paddle, where we cover all the essential details at length, but our blog is also full of other educational guides on choosing and using various sex toys. So, here we’ll only list the main things to know when shopping for a spanking paddle:
- Material – the material the spanking paddle is made from will determine the effect it will deliver, and you can choose between a paddle made from wood, plastic, leather, rubber, fur, and metal.
- Design – there are exciting spanking paddle designs like models with cutouts or patterns that leave imprints on the skin, studded paddles, or paddles with holes that make a sexy “whooshing” sound when you wield them.
- Size – the size of the paddle decides the sting it will deliver, so a large paddle makes a less pronounced sting, while a smaller paddle can provide a more pronounced sting. Still, you must note that the swinging force is also essential for the pain the paddle will cause on the skin.
- Thickness & padding – the paddle’s thickness relates to the stinging force it requires for wielding. A thin, unpadded spanking paddle will be much easier to swing and will provide a stinging sensation. A thick, or a padded, spanking paddle will require more force to use, and it will offer a thudding sensation.
