They are really easy to use and you can have safe words if it is getting too extreme. As long as there is a mutual understanding then explore your dirty side with your partner.

How To Spank Your Partner

New to the sexy world of spanking? Firstly, make sure spanking is consensual between all parties involved. Always start off slowly and work your way up to a harder spank. Try lightly spanking with your hand at first and then introduce the paddle or a spanker for a different sensation.

Here are some general do’s and don’ts to follow for Safety:

DO: Know your own limits before playing with a partner, and always negotiate safe words and limits beforehand (i.e., no visible marks). Make sure your paddle is free of splinters and sharp edges before you use it.

DON’T: Hit your partner with the edge of the paddles, share paddles with multiple partners, or hit the following areas: joints, face, neck, spine, back, tailbone or kidneys.

Once you and your partner get comfortable with paddling, you can start incorporating paddling into role-play scenarios and combining paddles with other kinky gear like gags, blindfolds and rope. Sound exciting? Browse our selection of kinky gear for more erotic ideas.
