This silicone paddle from Tantus is aptly named Thwack, and as soon as you give it a try, you’ll understand why. It lands hefty, robust strikes with very little effort during your BDSM play.

Thwack is a great choice regardless of your level, but be sure to start with light taps before building up the intensity, since the potency of the short paddle can surprise. The material is rigid yet very flexible, and the strikes deliver a satisfying sound as well as a sharp sensation.

The flat handle is thicker than the rectangular impact area, and can also be used as a narrower spanking tool for more precise strikes. Just remember to only spank the well-padded areas of the body that are protected by muscle and fat.

The premium silicone material is super easy to clean and thoroughly hygienic - it can even be boiled. For regular care, wash it with warm water and mild soap or sex toy cleaner.
