The studs would make you think this would be an intense painful paddle, but it's suitable for light and intermediate impact play. Even when using full force the studs don't cause excessive pain. This is a really well made paddle that will easily last for years without breaking, even with frequent use.

A very nice and naughty addition to our play toys. Love the extra studs for that sharper impact. Stings for quite a while if administered firmly. I would highly recommended for anyone who likes abit of kink.

Recieved this the other day descretly and speedy delivery,and was on the recieving end of this from my wife. what a great feeling and goes with a good loud sound to add to the effect, then theres the studded side to give you a added supprise and gives a very sharp supprise,great quality, great feel on the skin either side and no lasting marks ,just nicely tender and red for a few hours,if your giver is heavy handed like mine. just a great warm feeling to remind you of your naughty behaviour highly recomended by both of us.

So far I've only briefly experimented with this but I'm a fan already. As it states in description, it does have a longer handle which helped grip, it's good quality for the price and I love the added sensation of the studs - the paddle only has one side that is studded so it would be easy to alternate between the plain side and studded Tom is things up. I love my impact play and feel this has been a great purchase, I'm sure I'll get plenty of good use out of it.
