Types of BDSM Spanking Tools and How They Feel
Spanking tools come in different forms and can be used to create a range of different sensations from light taps to thwacks and even teasing tickles. Some create a thuddy impact, which is more dull and some create a stingy impact, which is more sharp and some can do both depending on the force and material. Here’s a quick run down to help you find what you are looking for.
- Paddles can create both stingy and thuddy sensations depending on how hard you swing them and what they are made of. Hard materials like plastic or silicone are more stingy while faux leather or fur lined ones tend to be more thuddy.
- Floggers come in a range of sizes and shapes. Generally, thicker, heavier floggers will be more thuddy and ones with fewer falls will be stingy, but this also depends on the material.
- Crops have a smaller tip and are therefore more stingy when used with force. They are also great for more targeted spanking or tapping on the nipples or genitals or using to direct your sub’s movements.
- Whips are some of the most intense spanking tools, providing a biting sting. They also require more practice and experience to use safely.

- Vegan leather
- Broad loop paddle
- Wrist strap
Pros
- ✅ Makes a great sound on impact
- ✅ Great for all experience levels
- ✅ Easy to hold
Cons
- ❌ Too big for travelling
- ❌ Fake leather not as durable
Why I Chose It
The Saffron Loop Paddle from Sportsheets stood out as a test winner to me, as it’s a quality BDSM spanking tool that’s great across the board and suitable for all levels of experience!
Our tester, Cassie said she found her dream paddle “in terms of aesthetics, functionality, performance, and price!” She was so impressed, she said it’s now her “go-to” for all impact play.
Another great feature of the Loop Paddle is that it can create a range of sensations. Cassie found that the“type of sensations upon impact differ depending on the intensity.” Light impact felt more thuddy and heavier impact had more of a sting.
As well as delivering great sensations, Cassie really loved that “the slapper style design delivers that intense sound effect,” resulting in a truly thrilling experience! I’ve also found that sometimes you want a paddle whose bark is worse than it’s bite!

- Compact size
- Faux leather tip
Pros
- ✅ Travel-friendly
- ✅ Small and easy to store
- ✅ Great beginners crop
- ✅ Very affordable
Cons
- ❌ Not the highest quality
- ❌ Not for heavy duty play
Why I Chose It
I love that impact play toys are generally quite cheap but this mini crop is about as wallet-friendly as it comes, while still being a decent quality!
Cassie tried it out for us and “was pleasantly surprised by the Sex & Mischief Mini Riding Crop.”
She was impressed that it still “packs quite the punch despite being so small and short.” However, given the smaller size, Cassie found that “you do need to put a little more power into those swings” to get a strong impact.
While this isn’t going to be the BDSM spanking tool for heavy impact play, it is a beginner-friendly and “a travel-friendly impact tool!” If you are interested in trying a crop, I would say this is a great one to start with!

- Thick silicone paddle
- Designed for heavy impact
Pros
- ✅ Made from ultra-premium silicone
- ✅ Stingy impact
- ✅ Easy to clean/sterilise
- ✅ Great for heavy duty play
Cons
- ❌ Handle gets uncomfortable
- ❌ Can be too intense
- ❌ Doesn't have a wrist loop
Why I Chose It
The Tantus Thwack is another spanking paddle I’ve had the pleasure of testing and really wanted to include in the review as a more advanced level BDSM spanking tool.
Made entirely of silicone, this spanking paddle leaves a serious sting! I was a little surprise by just how thick and heavy it was. Having been on the receiving end, I can say you don’t need a lot of force to deliver quite the thwack!
Every impact made the blood rush to my skin, leaving it hot to the touch and very red! I would only recommend the Tantus Thwack to those looking for a more intense sensation.
While I love the sensation it creates, and the fact that it’s made of top-quality silicone, it lost a few marks because of the handle design. It’s thick and flat and doesn’t have round edges so it can get a bit uncomfortable to hold after a while.

Why I Chose It
“I love this product so much that I bought one for my partner so he would have his own paddle to play with.”
Our tester, Sarah, was so impressed that she had to get another one! With that kind of feedback, I had to include it in the review!
I chose it as the best spanking tool for beginners because of the bigger surface area that’s a little easier to direct. It also doesn’t create the strongest sensation but still gives a satisfying thwack!
Sarah, agreed that the Ping Pong Paddle is great for a more “sensual” impact but it can also leave a good “tingly sting” and satisfying marks on the body.
As well as enjoying the feel of the paddle, she also really appreciated how “sturdy” it is and that the “bold color gives it an elegant and stylish” look.

- Faux leather falls
- Metal handle
- Wrist loop
Pros
- ✅ Easy to use
- ✅ Comfortable to hold
- ✅ Beginner-friendly
Cons
- ❌ Not great for heavy duty play
- ❌ Falls are a little stiff
Why I Chose It
I have to say, I was a little torn about which flogger to include as the overall best as there are so many factors to consider.
The other contender was the Dominix Deluxe Thick Leather Flogger, which is higher quality, but also more expensive and requires more advanced level experience.
However, in the end, I chose the Saffron Flogger from Sportsheets that I had tested because I feel it’s a great quality flogger, that will suit both beginners and intermediate users and it has an accessible price.
This flogger as a pleasant weight to it without being too heavy. The falls are quite thick and give a good impact but also feel great when trailed over the body. I also really like the sleek metal handle that’s comfortable to hold and the added security of the wrist loop.
I also think this an extremely user-friendly so it would be a good first flogger.

- Heart shaped tip
- Silicone tip
- Long handle
Pros
- ✅ Small and stingy
- ✅ Great for breast/nipple spanking
- ✅ Can be used on the clit
- ✅ Hygienic and easy to clean
Cons
- ❌ Quite intense
- ❌ Plastic handle could be stronger
Why I Chose It
I had the absolute pleasure of testing the Skip a Beat Crop and I LOVE it! I’ve tried my fair share of BDSM spanking tools but this one really allowed me and my partner to explore a totally new kind of spanking play!
The small silicone tip is just perfect for deliciously stingy nipple spanking. It made my skin feel warm and left everything extra sensitive. I was surprised by just how much I enjoyed the sensation and not only the power play! If you enjoy a little pinching and biting, I think you will also enjoy this!
I’ve found this crop is also really great for light clit and labia spanking — the more rhythmic tapping feels fantastic and makes for a great tease!
Plus, being made of silicone, it’s non-porous, meaning it’s super easy to clean with soap and water and won’t retain any bodily fluids it comes into contact with!
It’s safe to say, this is a new favorite in my collection!

- Tawse style whip
- Made from silicone
- Handle can be used as a dildo
Pros
- ✅ Sharp and stingy sensation
- ✅ Hygienic and easy to clean
- ✅ Different ways to use
- ✅ Comfortable to hold
Cons
- ❌ Comes with a learning curve
- ❌ Will be too intense for many
Why I Chose It
“The two-pronged design looks deliciously scary and it wields like a dream!”
It’s safe to say that Cassie was thrilled with the Tantus Tawse when she tested it out for Bedbible!
She found that the split tawse design “definitely feels more like a whip than a paddle” with an “intense stinging” sensation. However, you can also explore more thuddy sensations using the handle. Cassie was pleasantly surprised that it was “just as impressive as the tawse side.”
Not only that, she enjoyed using the handle internally, and while it wasn’t super stimulating, it was a fun addition to power play and it even provided “some pleasant g-spot massage during insertion.”
The one thing I’d keep in mind about this whip is that it is an intense toy. Cassie and her partner also found that it “takes a little bit of practice to master the movements.”

What to Look For in a BDSM Spanking Tool
- Feeling: Are you looking for a quick stinging pain or one that stays for a while? Some spanking tools are very painful and some hardly feel at all. Do you want to use it for teasing and tickling or just spanking?
- Sound: Should it be soundless or more of a loud smack? Some like the spanking because of the pain, some just want the actual sound.
- Material: Is there any certain type of material you prefer, maybe a spanking tool in leather so you can smell it or a lace one that looks pretty?
- Shape: When choosing the right shape you need to think about which body parts you want to use it on, what kind of prints on the body you want to leave and how you want to use it.
- Budget: As always when buying something you need to think about your wallet, how much money can you spend on spanking material?
Why does Spanking Feel Good?
There are a lot of reasons why spanking can feel good and it depends on who you ask. Some say that sexual pleasure and pain are very close, just think of how you react to your partner nibbling on your body parts or how the perfect amount of twisting on your nipple can feel so good.
Spanking stimulates the blood flow in the same way sexual arousal does which makes the sensation of pleasure and pain very close.
It can be some kind of stress relief, giving up or taking control, or pushing limits.
Some like spanking because of the feeling they get afterwards, it can be the warm tingling feeling or the stinging behind.
Some just find the look sexually attractive, the look of reed bum cheeks and red printed strips on their thighs.
