Paddles
Spanking paddles from beginner-soft to serious thud: leather, silicone, chain-impression and fur-lined paddles from Rouge, Sportsheets, Ouch!, Sex & Mischief and Tantus.
How to choose a spanking paddle
Size and material decide the feel. A wide, stiff leather paddle gives deep thud; a small, flexible one stings more. Fur or velvet on one side (the Rouge paddle with fur, Ouch! Milan) lets you alternate soft strokes with sharp ones. Chain-impression paddles leave a patterned mark and read as more intense. Silicone, like the Tantus Dragon Tail, wipes clean and flexes. Beginners do well with a reversible paddle under $45 and a short handle for control.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best paddle for beginners?
A small, two-sided paddle with a soft fur or velvet side lets you alternate light and firm strokes while you learn aim and rhythm. Expect to pay $20 to $45.
Leather or silicone paddle?
Leather gives the classic deep thud and warms with use; silicone is lighter, flexes more and cleans with soap and water. Both are good; silicone is the easier one to keep hygienic.
How hard should I spank with a paddle?
Start with light taps to warm the skin, then increase slowly and check in. The lower bottom and upper thighs take impact best; stay away from the tailbone and lower back.
How do I clean a leather paddle?
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap, dry fully and condition occasionally. Do not soak leather; toy cleaner wipes work for quick clean-ups.
