FAQs

What is the difference between a riding crop and a paddle?

Riding crops refers to a loop of leather or other fabric attached to a long stick. It makes contact with a smaller area of the skin and leads to a stinging, targeted hit. 

A paddle has a larger surface area and leads to total hard smacks.

How do you choose the riding crop or paddle for BDSM play?

In BDSM, the biggest consideration should be the level of experience and pain tolerance the user has while choosing a riding crop or paddle. If you like big, thudding spanks, a paddle makes more sense.

But if you would rather go for momentary, stinging impact, riding crop is the obvious option.

What are the safe practices to follow when using crops and paddles?

Stick to hitting the safe zones in the body, like the butt or the area below the shoulder blades. More experienced users can also deliver some hits to the thighs or the back of the calves. 

Other than making sure you have your partner’s full consent, you should start with smaller hits and increase the intensity depending on the signal your partner sends. 

How can you ensure a consensual and enjoyable experience with crops and paddles?

Have safe words and signals ready, for both of you. Not everyone enjoys hitting another person, so you might end up feeling bad if it’s your first time and you want to tap out. 

Check in as often as you can between each hit. Don’t forget aftercare too, which can range from cuddling to drawing a bath.

What are the materials commonly used in making crops and paddles, and which is best?

Leather is the most common material for both riding crops and paddles. Silicone is found often in paddles as well. Wood is the most rare and often expensive.
