Blondie is my guest today, talking about paddles. Speaking of paddles, I HAVE tried out the cute little red one she sent me, and I have a hot report but since I’m not blogging my sex life on THIS blog anymore, I have posted it on a community site that’s for subs who love fellatio (hint, hint). If you can’t decode my hint, you can private message me.

And now… here’s Blondie!
********************************
Let’s start at the beginning. Why a paddle shop? Good question.
Ty has his own wood crafting store on Etsy. He does some beautiful work. So we were already familiar with the way that Etsy works.
I had ordered a paddle, for the first time, hoping to surprise Ty. The surprise was a total flop. The paddle was a disgrace. Ty practically remade it. It was misshapen, not sanded down and there was no shine or finish. Even though Ty fixed it, I don’t think that we ever used it. Bad memories. This paddle experience got Ty thinking, why couldn’t he make paddles and sell them? So thus began our paddle store.
Customers ask all kinds of questions when purchasing a paddle. I try to help them as much as possible.
The big question is what kind of paddle should I get? The answer isn’t simple unless I have more information.
- Have you ever used any type of implement before?
- Have you ever used a paddle before?
- Is it for OTK only?
- How long have you been spanking?
- Is this for discipline or pleasure?
If this is your first implement and/or paddle, you need to start with something not too hard. If spanking is somewhat new in your relationship, you want to start out easy. And I realize that there are a lot of people who cannot fathom the idea of a spanking being erotic, sexual or fun, but believe me, it can be.
Anyone new to implements or spanking, I really, really suggest sticking with pine. This is the lightest wood. What does that mean? Good question. If you were to pick up three pieces of wood, all about the same exact size, can you feel the difference in their weight? The lighter weighing wood is less dense and is a great way to start.

Usually, the more exotic the woods, the heavier they are. If you are someone who has been in the spanking scene for awhile, then you would probably like these.
Beautiful wood paddles but not for beginners.
Another question we get is how quiet are the paddles? The truth of the matter is, the thinner the paddles, the quieter it is.
Unfortunately, holes do not make it quieter than other paddles. Actually holes can be louder, because the person getting spanked may be making a lot more sound!
The holes allow the paddle to move faster and thus it comes down harder, causing more pain.
The last and final thing I want to say about paddles, is very important. When using an implement, always start off slow. Do not jump to a bigger or harder paddle because the one you are using doesn’t seem to be getting the point across and the misbehavior is still there. The spanker can cause the spankee to have bruising and other damage to the skin. Work on the behavior not on the size of the implement. If the behavior isn’t changing, it’s not because of the wrong kind of spanking is being given. Submission comes from the heart. Wanting to please the other person is very vital for the relationship. And just because someone else is the HoH, that doesn’t mean you get to act like a child. Be an adult and act like an adult.

As the spankee’s bottom gets used to the paddles being used, that is when you move up to a heavier paddle.
Now if your bottom is used to being spanked because spankings are used for erotic or play scenes, go for it and get one of those very hard and beautiful paddles. The paddles can only add to your other implements. As someone who is spanked for punishment and funishment, I would say that my bottom is pretty tough. We are going to begin selling spreader bars soon. And we are playing around with other types of bondage and selling leather paddles (belt, tawse, straps).

Hugs,

I'm a riding crop kinda girl, but I have to say that Renee's personal paddle in red is a very lovely thing indeed 🙂
Every spanking arsenal needs a few good paddles! I can recommend Cane-iac too as a good source for spanking toys.
Great information!
Thanks for sharing.
I love the toy box!
Our stash is hiding in our closet. 🙂
Beautiful wooden box. Our stash is in a canvas bag, portable.
Informative! Paddles scare the bejeezus out of me… but now I know where to start if I venture off that way 🙂
Awesome. wonderful information. But, hey could you try not to be so truthful? how about telling Dear Dev that the paint stirrer really is the worst, and he should use it the most often. 😉
Love you Blondie!
This is a great post! Thanks for visiting and sharing so much wonderful information! I love the advice you gave a long with the information about paddles. I would love it if you do decide to add leather items to your store!
