How was the spanking tools tested?

After reviewing over 500 + sex toys we do call ourselves sex toy experts. So, when doing our research, such as looking for the best products on the market, reading external reviews and discussing the products with our testers we knew what to look for.

When rating a sex toy we have different criteria in mind and these, of course, differ depending on what products we’re testing. When it comes to spanking tools we’re looking at quality, material, ease of use, design and the feel and sound of the spanks.

How was the spanking tools tested?
Read more about how we test products.

Here are some guidelines for you to have in mind when looking for a spanking tool, there are a lot of different kinds out there and depending on what kind of impact play you are looking for your choice might differ.

What to look for when choosing a 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?

A Closer Look at the Sportsheets Slut Slapper Paddle

The best paddle in this spanking tool test goes to Sportsheets Slut Slapper Paddle. It´s a 12 inches long black paddle with a cut-out that spells out “Slut”, you can also find it with other patterns such as hearts and the word Love. So it depends on what kind of BDSM play you want. With a solid spank, it´s supposed to leave the pattern as a mark on your skin.

The spanking tool has a rigid handle which makes it easy to control and gives it the right flick. It´s a split spanker which means it has two flaps, which means it can create a load spanking sound compared to the sting it creates. The sting is quick, not that sharp and leaves slightly red marks.

Pros

  • Makes a loud sound
  • Easy to flick with the rigid handle
  • Different patterns (slut, love, hearts)
  • Beginner-friendly BDSM spanking tools
  • A lace for the wrist

Cons

  • Difficult to cause painful spanks
  • Some might find the pattern "slut" too harsh
  • Difficult to make the imprint

Verdict

This spanking tool sounds louder than it stings, so if you’re new to BDSM, like the sound of spanks but are not sure about your pain rate yet, it’s perfect!

Some people including Bedbible’s tester (read her review here) have a hard time getting the pattern, slut, to stay on the body. The ones who manage to do it have either got the right flick and done the same flick a couple of times or managed to give a solid spank.

The sting is not that painful and for the one who wants a sore bum, this is probably not the right paddle. But for quick stings and load noise, it’s great.

A Closer Look at the Sportsheets BDSM Motivator Crop

Sportsheets BDSM Motivator Crop is the best BDSM spanking tool for experienced spankers, and it´s also easy to use as a self-spanking tool. With a nice swoosh when swung and the perfect spanking smack when it leaves a sharp sting and red mark.

It has got a split-tipped top and is a crop tool for intermediate spanking. It´s shorter than other crops which makes it easy to handle and carry around. What also makes it easy to handle is the good grip, the grip is a textured and rubber handle which makes it good for even the sweatiest hands.

Pros

  • Steady textured rubber grip
  • Makes a loud sound both while swinging and when actually whipping
  • High-quality spanking toy for a good price
  • Leaves a sharp red mark
  • Easy to create sharp stings

Cons

  • Not for beginners
  • Can be too intense for some

Verdict

This is the perfect crop for experienced spankers, use a heavy hand and you will create a heavy sharp sting, use a light hand and it will be a quick rap sting. It has got a nice leather smell which a lot of BDSM users are into.

It creates a big audible impact both while swinging it and when spanking so it´s not for the quiet spankers. The grip makes it easy to hold onto, even in the wildest BDSM plays.

A Closer Look at the Sex & Mischief Mini Riding Crop

The Sex & Mischief Mini Riding Crop is a playful introduction to the world of BDSM for anyone who isn’t quite ready to splurge on a high-quality spanking tool but are still curious about adding a little *spice* to their intimate moments. This mini crop may be small and cheap, but it definitely still packs a punch! It’s easy to use and takes up basically no space. Compact and travel-friendly, this mini crop offers a gentle foray into impact play, making it perfect for beginners or as a portable option for adventurous couples.

Pros

  • Very affordable
  • Lightweight & travel-friendly
  • Easy to use
  • Discreet (and space-saving) storage

Cons

  • Not a premium quality spanking tool
  • Not suitable for heavy duty impact play

Verdict

After exploring the features of the Sex & Mischief Mini Riding Crop, I’m convinced it’s a must-have for those dipping their toes into BDSM. Its size and simplicity are perfect for beginners, offering just the right balance of thrill without intimidation.

Because of its size, I don’t think it will fully satisfy the cravings of more experienced enthusiasts looking for  something more suitable for heavy duty play. However, its affordability and effectiveness make it an excellent choice for playful (and budget-friendly) exploration in the world of spanking tools. Don’t get me wrong, this little fella will deliver an intense thwack if you learn how to handle it! Also, who doesn’t want a riding crop that they can fit in their purse?

A Closer Look at the Lovehoney Satin and Leather Spanking Paddle

We´ve talked about spanking tools that are beginner-friendly before, but this is the most perfect spanking introductory toy.  One side is made out of leather and one out of satin, the white version has lace instead of leather.

It´s offered in three different colours, black, white and red. It´s pretty firm and the satin side is good for gently tickling and caressing the skin, and the leather side is good for small sensational stings.

Pros

  • Two different sides to choose from
  • Doesn´t leave long-lasting marks
  • Easy to use
  • Wriststrap

Cons

  • Firmer than expected
  • Not easy to hold if you got big hands
  • No extra padding for the grip

Verdict

This is one of the best spanking implements for the beginner that doesn´t want a spanking tool that leaves long-lasting marks. The red and especially the white have a non-intimidating design which makes it good for beginners.

It´s made out of satin and leather, so it´s perfect for exploring which material you prefer. Just turn it around and you´ve got a completely new sensation. It´s firmer than most people expect it to be from the images, so you don´t get too surprised.

A Closer Look at the Calexotics Scandal Feather Crop

Are you interested in a crop that can both tickle and sting? The Scandal Feather Crop can transform your playtime from gentle to mischievous in no time! It features ultra-soft feathers on one side for teasing and a hand-stitched crop on the other for a more intense spanking experience. This toy is perfect for beginners and those who like to experiment with different types of pleasure. So get ready for some naughty tickles and sweet sings and enjoy this 2-in-1 spanking toy!

Pros

  • Versatile use
  • Double-sided design
  • Great for beginners

Cons

  • Not very durable
  • Feathers are fragile and might fall off

Verdict

If you’re looking to add some excitement and playfulness to your bedroom, the Feather Crop is an excellent toy to consider. Its simple design makes it user-friendly, and you can blend tickling with gentle spanks for added fun. Thanks to its broader tip, the crop delivers a milder sting, making it ideal for playful and flirty activities.
The only issue I’ve noticed is that the feathers are delicate and can come loose during more vigorous play.

Prefer Something a Little Lighter?

Sometimes a stingy pain is too much, but the painful teasing can be just perfect. When we´re talking about painful tease, we don´t mean the pain itself, we´re talking about the frustration of the tease – sensory play.

Sensory play is used to open up for more intense BDSM, for power play and to intensify sexual pleasure.

The products below are the perfect preparation for more intense painful pleasure, the pre-tools for spanking one could call them.

Types of Spanking Sex Toys:

  1. Paddles: These flat, broad spanking sex toys are designed to deliver a sharp impact and are a popular choice for beginners due to their short length and easy-to-use design. Paddles are available in different sizes, shapes, and materials, such as leather, wood, and silicone.
  2. Floggers: With several tails or strands of leather or other materials attached to a handle, floggers are a type of whipping sex toy that can provide a wide range of sensations, from gentle teasing to sharp and stinging impacts.
  3. Canes: Made of materials like bamboo, rattan, or plastic, canes are long, thin spanking sex toys that deliver a sharp, stinging sensation. Using them safely requires skill and precision.
  4. Whips: Long and flexible, whips are made of materials like leather, rubber, or nylon and deliver a sharp, stinging sensation. Their use requires significant skill and experience to ensure safety.
  5. Crops: Typically made of leather, rubber, or plastic, riding crops have a long, thin, flexible shaft and a small rectangular or oval-shaped flap, known as the “paddle,” at the end. They can deliver light taps, teasing flicks, or more intense slaps or strikes during BDSM activities.

Use the whole hand, fingers o the palm.

This is a bit more hardcore spanking material – a whip, it´s difficult to control how much power the whip produces into the spanks. The shape also makes it great for stingy whips.

Crop

This is the spanking tool that looks most similar to the horse-riders whip. In one end the crop has a handle and in one end it has a flat keeper.  With this is easy to give a sting to a smaller more sensitive area. This works for both beginners and more experienced users.

Flogger

You could do one from the very beginning by cutting out the shape in wood, make sure to use a sturdy material. The best way would probably be to use a jigsaw and then sand it down properly to make sure it’s free from small wood chips and big of course. This will be a bit more hardcore paddle and therefore not for beginners.

After that you can design it just as you like, paint, draw a pattern, or whatever you prefer.

DIY Paddles

If you want to explore the world of spanking fun on a budget, try out objects similar to regular spanking paddles. Test out:

  • Ping-pong paddles,
  • Spatulas,
  • Flyswatters,
  • Paint stirrers

They have a perfect size and shape to give your sub a nice smack, and if you want them to look more heavy-duty, we have plenty of kinky design inspirations.

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.

There are many different reasons that spanking can feel good!

We have a few webshops we recommend when it comes to buying spanking implements, they all provide discrete packaging, quick delivery and, spanking tools that are tested and safe to use.
