Are you a BDSM expert, or do you just like to be naughty? Either way, this cute little paddle is perfect! I got it as one of my first paddles about a year ago, it was wonderful and it still is. Use it lightly for a little sting and slap fun, which is good if you’re just starting out. Or put a little more force into it, flick the wrist a bit more, and really feel the paddle bite and burn your bare flesh. Gently, it left virtually no marks, and when things got rougher, the studs around the base of the paddle added a great variation of texture and satisfying pain. Also the raised hearts can actually be really fun, I found on more than one occasion that my ass had a few very nice hearts bruised or welted on it, again only when things got really rough, but it made me giggle so hard. It’s so cute when it happens!

Beginner, or advanced you can have a lot of fun with this baby!

The Pink play heart paddle is fairly well designed in my opinion, very lightweight and easy to wield. It's about 12 1/4 inches in total length. The handle is 1 3/4 inches wide and provides a pretty sturdy grip for most hand sizes. The "head" of the paddle, the part that's going to be making contact with yourself or others when you spank, is about 3 inches wide and about 7 inches long to the base of the handle. It is also decorated with 30 metal studs per side, though the studs only go onto the "head" about 2 inches, which I find make a nice variation. The signature feature of this paddle is the raised heart design, though in my experience, it doesn't make much of a difference in feel, but it’s sometimes fun to find little hearts stamped on your body for a few days (at least I enjoy it). It says it's made of leather, but I am honestly not sure if it’s genuine, it feels like leather, but there's no smell. Honestly though, I have no idea how to tell. The wrist strap is also a nice little bonus to keep it from flying out of your hand in the heat of the moment, smashing through the window and knocking out an innocent passerby. That would probably kill the mood.

It's a really killer little paddle, reasonably sized to wield, and light enough for anyone to use. It was purchased almost a year ago and sees a lot of use. I got it for my beginning experimentation in spanking the ass at first, but over time I have found that it’s also really fun to use on the inner thighs, and occasionally even breasts, although it's a little too solid for my liking in breast spanking.

The amount of flick and force you put into it will determine the results, from an even thudding slap, to a very severe burning sting that makes your whole body tingle. This toy’s rewards are all based on what energy and effort you or your partner put into it, the possibilities are almost endless.

As I stated earlier I am not sure if it's made of actual leather, but I have sloshed lube, oils, and bodily fluids all over it through the years and it’s still in really great condition. To clean, just wipe it up with a rag and some anti-bacterial soapy water. No stains, peeling, loose threads, fading, nothing, it barely looks used at all, but it is very well used and loved, take my word for it! I really love how it’s so durable and easy to care for.

Storage? Well I never really thought about that, it really depends on if you like to have paddles floating around the house. It’s small so it can easily be slid into any drawer really, popped in a cupboard, and just generally shoved out of sight whenever you need to. Or if you’re like me and enjoy proudly displaying your prizes, the wrist strap again comes in quite handy, just pop it over a hook, thumbtack, nail, screw, whatever really, and enjoy it hanging proudly on your bedroom or dungeon wall.
