The LOVE Impressions paddle by Sportsheets is a nifty little paddle designed to aid you in your BDSM explorations. It is intended for spanking and leaving your mark on your lover. I would say this is geared more for the advanced crowd, as it takes a lot of spanking to make the word appear; but the novice crowd can enjoy it for light spanking and play as well.

This paddle is made of leather and split so that the word love can be engraved into your partner's body from spanking. A thin layer of leather overlays the velvety red strip of the second piece of leather with the word LOVE cut out of it. The paddle will imprint the word onto one's skin with heavy spanking.

This paddle is well made and easy to care for. To clean the leather simply wipe it off with a damp cloth. It can be stored pretty much anywhere and does not split or crack very easily. It also comes equipped with a loop for hanging.

This paddle works great for spanking, however I could not get the word LOVE to show up on my skin. After numerous times of spanking in the same spot, I was left with an itchy red blotch and part of the letter L.

This leads me to the conclusion that heavy spanking is needed to imprint the word, and the less tolerant may not be able to get that word to show up. I am still new to heavy play so it took me awhile to work up to just getting the L to show up.

This can be very loud as well. The snapping noise of the paddle hitting your skin echoes through the room.
