Sensory Variety: Many paddles have dual textures or designs, enhancing their appeal.

Aesthetic Appeal: Paddles often come in elegant designs, adding to the scene’s atmosphere.

A BDSM paddle typically consists of a flat striking surface attached to a handle for control. They vary greatly in:

Material: Leather, wood, silicone, metal, acrylic, and faux fur:

Leather Paddles Flexible and versatile, offering a range of sensations from light to sharp. Often associated with a classic BDSM aesthetic.

Wooden Paddles Provide a firmer, heavier thud. Often used for more intense play and can leave marks or redness easily.

Silicone Paddles Soft and flexible, perfect for beginners or those who prefer less intense sensations. Easy to clean and maintain.

Faux Fur Paddles One side is covered with soft fur for gentle caresses; the other side provides a traditional impact.  Ideal for sensory play and warm-ups.

Acrylic or Metal Paddles Rigid and heavy, delivering sharp and intense sensations. Best for experienced users who enjoy stronger impacts.

Textured Paddles May include patterns, studs, or holes to increase sensation or create unique marks. 

Size and Thickness: Larger paddles cover more surface area and distribute impact, while smaller ones focus the sensation.

Design: Smooth paddles deliver consistent impact, while those with ridges, studs, or holes add texture and intensity.

Impact Play 

Paddles are primarily used for spanking, creating sensations ranging from light taps to intense thuds.

Sensory Play 

Use the smooth side for strikes and the textured or fur-covered side for caressing or teasing.

Power Dynamics 

Paddles often symbolize control, making them popular in Dominant/submissive dynamics.

Marking 

Paddles can leave visible marks, such as redness or patterns, which can enhance the visual and psychological aspects of play.

Start Slowly, Especially with rigid paddles, test the intensity on yourself or a soft object first.

Control the Force: Keep strikes controlled to avoid unintentional injury.

Clean Regularly: Sanitize paddles, especially if they’re shared or if there’s skin contact.  

Clean After Every Use: This prevents the buildup of bacteria and ensures the paddle is ready for the next session.

Use Gentle Products: Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material.

Store Properly: After cleaning, store your paddle in a cool, dry place, preferably in a pouch or case to protect it from dust and damage.
