Palette à fessée Violet Boudoir, Bondage Boutique

A good basic paddle. It looks like the photo and feels good quality.

One side is softer (almost furry), which is fun for mixing things up.

Easy to wield and makes a very satisfying sound. The ribbon is a nice touch and can easily sit round a wrist. If you're new to spanking it's a good first paddle, but there's nothing too special about it.

I received this to review from Lovehoney in exchange for an honest review.

On arrival this was in the usual very-well packed parcel that I've come to expect from Lovehoney. Discreet packaging without their business name anywhere on the parcel is a bonus too!

The paddle itself measured approx. 32x6cm and came in a lovely purple shaded floral pattern (which I love). It was the perfect size paddle to fit in my now rather full bondage bag that I'd previously purchased from LH. :)

It also has a material handle for securing around your wrist or maybe hanging up somewhere. It's also double-sided with a soft velvet material one side and the harder flat material the other. Dual purpose which is yet another bonus! It's also made very well with really neat stitches on the material.

The harder side gives more of a thud instead of the shock wave effect that the soft side gives. Think I prefer the harder side but you can choose which you prefer!

I had lots of fun in the bedroom with this and I'm going to use this a lot. :) On giving it also saves on hurting my hand as well. ;)

I have being looking for a paddle for ages but could never make my mind up, so if you want more bondage fun in the bedroom. This is definitely a great choice!

I can't fault this at all. :) A must-buy.

The spanking paddle arrived promptly in plain packaging and was protected very well. I wouldn't expect anything less from Lovehoney!

Upon opening my parcel I was greeted by the most beautiful purple pattern on it, almost baroque, which catches the light as it's being used. At the end of the handle there is a loop of this beautiful material so that the paddle can be hung up and display.

One side of the paddle is furry and is so incredibly soft.This gives a delightful thuddy sensation which can be used mildly or more harshly. This side can also be used very effectively as a sensation toy when dragged lightly across the skin, particularly on an already sore bottom! The patterned side has a harsher, more stingy-type of sensation, but again this can easily be used gently or with more force, allowing for beginners and experienced players alike to enjoy.
