How to Use The Paddle

Communication and Consent

Discuss desires, limits, and boundaries with your partner before starting.

Agree on a safe word or signal to pause or stop play if needed.

Warm-Up

Begin with gentle taps to warm up the skin and muscles. This reduces the risk of discomfort and prepares the body for more intense sensations.

Safe Impact Areas

Focus on fleshy areas of the body to minimize risk: Safe Zones: Buttocks, thighs, upper arms, and upper back (avoiding the spine).

Avoid: Joints, kidneys, spine, head, and other sensitive or bony areas.

Vary Sensations Alternate between light, medium, and firm strikes to build anticipation and keep the experience dynamic.

Incorporate other sensory elements, like caressing or cooling the skin between strikes, to enhance pleasure.

Pay Attention to Responses

Monitor your partner’s verbal and non-verbal reactions, such as moaning, breathing changes, or flinching.

Regularly check in to ensure they’re comfortable and enjoying the experience.

Start Light: Especially if you’re new to paddles, start with gentle strikes and gradually increase intensity.

Practice Control: Practice on a pillow or soft surface to develop aim and technique.

Experiment: Use different parts of the paddle (e.g., the edge vs. the flat surface) for varied sensations.

Switch It Up: Alternate between paddling, stroking, or rubbing to keep the session interesting.
