What are paddles and how to use them?

Paddles are objects used in the context of BDSM to provide sensations of controlled pain and pleasure during discipline activities, power games and impact practices. They consist of a flat, solid base, usually made of wood, leather, rubber or other sturdy material, with one or more handles for gripping.

Paddles have a wide, flat surface that is used to deliver controlled strokes to specific areas of the submissive partner's body. When using the paddle, the dominant can vary the intensity of the blows, depending on the desires and limits agreed between the partners. The resulting sensation can vary from a light slap to a firmer impact, producing different levels of sensory stimulation and pleasure.

It is important to emphasize that the safety and well-being of all involved must be prioritized during the practice of BDSM. The use of paddles must be carried out carefully, respecting the limits and avoiding areas of the body that may be more sensitive or vulnerable to injury.

How to use a paddle?

The use of paddles in BDSM can add a dynamic of discipline and power plays to the activity. Here are some tips on how to use paddles safely and consensually:

Consent and communication

Before starting any BDSM activity, it is essential to have open and clear communication with your partner. Discuss desires, limits and establish a safe word that can be used to stop the activity if necessary.

Choose the right paddle

There are different types of paddles available, made from materials such as leather, rubber, wood or plastic. It is important to choose a pad that is safe, comfortable and suitable for the desired intensity level.

Preparation

Prepare the environment for BDSM activity. Make sure there is enough room to maneuver and move freely. Clear the area of any dangerous objects that could cause accidents. It is also recommended to have a set of first aid tools on hand just in case.

Consensual Discipline

Make sure both partners are on board with using the paddle as a form of discipline or punishment. Set clear limits on the intensity, number of blows and areas of the body that can be hit. Respect the limits and stop immediately if there is any discomfort or sign that the activity is exceeding predetermined limits.

Heating

Before starting to use the paddle hard, it is recommended to warm it up beforehand. This can include gentle stroking, massaging, or even light tapping to prepare the skin and increase arousal.

Usage technique

When using the paddle, maintain a secure and firm posture. Start with light strokes and gradually increase the intensity depending on your partner's response and comfort level. Remember to target areas of the body with more developed muscles, avoiding bony regions, joints, vital organs and areas where the skin is thinner or more sensitive.

After the session

After the discipline session with the paddle, take time to care for each other. Offer comfort, affection and mutual care. Check the skin for marks or redness that may need additional care. Remember that BDSM practice must be consensual, based on mutual respect and care for the safety of all involved. Constantly communicate with your partner and be willing to adjust or stop the activity if necessary.

Materials and care

The use of paddles in BDSM is consensual and requires clear communication between partners. It's essential to set boundaries, set a safe word, and make sure both partners are comfortable and consenting to the activity. It is also important to choose well the type of material they intend for the activity they intend.

Wood paddles

Wooden paddles are a common type of implement used in the context of BDSM for power plays and consensual discipline. Wooden paddles are made from different types of wood, such as oak, birch, mahogany, beech, among others. The choice of wood type can affect the feel and intensity of the blows.

Wooden paddles have a flat, solid base, usually with a handle for easy gripping and handling. The shape of the base can vary from a flat rectangular surface to more elaborate shapes such as round or heart-shaped. They can also vary in size and weight. Some are compact and light, which facilitates handling and allows for precise movements, while others can be larger and heavier, providing a more intense impact sensation.

The sensation produced by wooden paddles depends on several factors, such as the type of wood, size, weight and intensity of the blows applied. Light blows can generate a warm, tingling sensation, while harder blows can cause a more intense sensation of controlled pain.

They require proper care to ensure their durability and safety. It is recommended to clean the paddle with a damp cloth after use and allow it to dry completely before storing. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or excessive heat, as this can affect the integrity of the wood.

Leather paddles

Leather paddles are a common type of implement used in the context of BDSM for power games, discipline, and controlled sensations of pleasure and pain. They are made of genuine leather or synthetic leather, depending on individual preferences and needs. Genuine leather is durable, supple and can provide a more authentic feel, while faux leather is a vegan option that can provide similar sensations.

Leather paddles have a flat, flexible base, usually with a handle for easy gripping and handling. The base is made up of layers of leather that can be sewn together or glued together, providing a flat, wide surface for striking. They can vary in size and weight. The sensation produced by leather paddles depends on several factors, such as the flexibility of the leather, the size, shape and intensity of the blows applied. Light strokes can generate a tingling and pleasurable sensation, while harder strokes can cause a sensation of controlled pain.

Leather paddles require proper care to ensure durability and hygiene. It is recommended to clean the paddle with a damp cloth and mild soap after use and allow it to dry completely before storing. It is important to avoid excessive exposure to moisture or heat as this can affect the integrity of the leather.

Rubber paddles

Rubber paddles are made of solid rubber or silicone. Rubber is a flexible and durable material, which can provide a unique feeling during BDSM activity. Rubber paddles have a flat, flexible base, usually with a handle for easy gripping and handling. The base is made up of soft rubber or silicone, which can provide a smooth and elastic feeling when it comes into contact with the skin.

The feel produced by rubber paddles depends on the flexibility and texture of the material. Rubber paddles generally have a softer, less intense feel compared to paddles made from harder materials, such as wood. They can generate sensations of tingling, pressure and pleasure, depending on the intensity of the blows applied. They are relatively easy to clean. You can wash them with warm water and neutral soap before and after each use. Be sure to dry them completely before storing to prevent moisture build-up.
