Spanking paddle (faux leather·red stitching·wrist cord)

A faux leather paddle made for spanking. A wide, rounded striking face runs into a narrowed handle, and the black surface is edged with red stitching. The end of the handle carries a metal eyelet with a red cord threaded through it so you can loop it over your wrist.

A tool that strikes with a flat face

Unlike a whip with thin falls, this lands with a broad flat face, so the same force spreads out instead of concentrating on one point. The mark it leaves is broad and shaped like the face itself. Judging by the product photos, the striking face is about the size of a palm, which makes it easy to handle with one hand.

A handle that does not slip out

The handle narrows in the middle so your fingers catch on it. With the cord through the metal eyelet looped over your wrist, the paddle stays in your hand even on a hard swing. When you are not using it, that same cord doubles as a hanging loop.

What to know before use

This is a faux leather item, so the surface can crack over time and soaking it damages the backing. A broad flat face makes a fairly loud sound, so in a home with thin walls the neighbors may hear it. Always test lightly and check your partner's reaction before raising the force.
