Round "O" spank-her - flogging toy by Ruff doggie styles - review by Kayla

The Round "O" Spank-Her paddle is a Ruff Doggie Styles product that is made from leather and suede. The paddle features multiple holes through the surface of the paddle which does not make it beginner-friendly. The paddle also includes a loop at the end of it in order to hang this paddle up for storage.

The Round "O" Spank-Her does not have any specific packaging. Instead, it comes in a plastic bag which makes it extremely easy to remove it from the bag. There's also a tag hanging on the end of the hanging loop which can also be easily removed by just tugging on the tag. It's very easy to unpackage and very easy to get started using it.

The Round "O" Spank-Her has some great quality to it. The pink side of the apddle is a softened suede while the back, black side is the leather. Instead of the usual black thread, Ruff Doggie Styles used a red thread to hold the leather together, and it looks great. All of the edges are softened, and it's obvious that the stitching was done really nicely. None of mine is coming out at all. The hanging loop is threaded through a hole in the handle of the paddle and tied together with a knot. The knot was then glued to keep it from coming undone. If it does come undone, you can always just re-tie it as well. The holes themselves have been nicely rounded as well, and it definitely shows the attention to detail as the area around the hole has been slightly edged to make the hole not as painful/scratchy.

Handling this paddle works well. I wouldn't call this handle perfect as I feel it's a bit wide for most hands to be able to hold it comfortably for long periods of time. However, it isn't too uncomfortable, and you should be able to hold it for awhile without any issues. The paddle isn't too heavy nor is too light, so it's really a mixture of the two. You won't be able to use this paddle as long as light-weight ones, but you shouldn't feel like it's a feather either. It's really in the middle in terms of handling, but it's still easy-enough to handle, and while the handle is a bit wide, I don't really find fault with it.

The holes in the paddle are really where this paddle is supposed to shine. There is a large hole in the middle as well as smaller holes along the outer edges of the paddle. The middle hole is about an inch wide while the smaller holes are much, much smaller. These holes are really what cause the most pain out of this paddle. I have a sadistic Dominant friend who only owns paddles with holes because of how much more painful they are. The boyfriend tried to give me a technical explanation that included stuff like air resistance and how that would effect it with the holes, but really, all you need to know is that this is definitely one of the hardcore paddles (despite its pink appearance!)

It feels painful. That's really the best way to describe it. This paddle is definitely stingy, and it's probably one of the meanest paddles we own. (The Studded Paddle and it are about tied.) It is a stingy paddle, and it is not a paddle to at it full-force with your partner unless you are sure that they can take it as this one could definitely leave bruises and marks. The holes tend to leave imprints of themselves when you're playing, so keep that in mind if you need to have a bare butt/skin when you're done.

Because of how easy it is to do damage to someone, this is NOT a paddle I would recommend to beginners - even if you think it looks cool. This paddle can definitely product some bruising, it's definitely an intense sensation. I would only paddle someone on the fleshier parts of their body (butt, thighs) because of the holes in this paddle.

The sensation of this paddle varies upon which side you use as well. I would recommend that you definitely use the pink, suede side for your first use. This paddle is intense on the suede side, but the leather side, which is not nearly as soft or padded, is much worse. The boyfriend and I regularly engage in spanking, and we only attempt the black side once because it just is a lot more painful than the suede side. The black side is much, much more stingy, but the pink side can be painful as well. Really, just be sure that you want to try a more stingy paddle before you pick this one up.

Cleaning this paddle is really easy, but do keep in mind that it can't really be sterilized for multiple-person use. In order to clean this, just use a slightly-damp washcloth to pat down the paddle and make sure you allow it to dry. You should take care to try to keep this paddle away from bodily fluids as it can't be sterilized and it could hurt the leather. For storage, I recommend laying it flat or hanging it up by the hanging strap.

Overall, while we do like this paddle, it's definitely one of the more intense ones that we own. Make sure that you have the skill level and interest in a stingy paddle before you pick this up. If have those things though, this is a high-quality paddle that could easily become a favorite.
