I’ve been eyeing the Sportsheet Impression Paddles for years, I even had an entire concept for a porn site based around one once. I never did take the plunge and buy one, because I wasn’t sure they worked… I am happy to report that they do! There’s more to know, though, so read on.
The paddle I have is the one with “SLUT” on it. No matter which word you choose, the construction is the same. The paddles are just over a foot long and just over 2 inches wide. They are made of stiff, black leather with… wait for it… PAPER in between the layers. Yeah. This is probably the biggest disappointment about the toy, the red part that you see under the cutouts is a semi-thick paper. Not only do I not expect it to hold up very well in the long term, but it isn’t really possible to sanitize paper (sweat or blood anyone?). At least with the leather you can wipe it down with bleach.
Although it is called a paddle, I’d categorize this as more of a stiff slapper. You aren’t going to do any serious damage, and there’s more noise than pain. For me, this is a plus. But others may prefer a little more heft to their toys. Speaking of, it is very lightweight, which means it won’t tire you out quickly and it is easy to wield. The feel for the bottom will be light sting, next to no thud, and not a lot of lasting feeling. With this toy, it’s all about the “impression” it leaves. (Harharhar)
So does it impress me? (That was the last one, promise!) It can be difficult to get all four letters to impact equally, so you may end up with LUT, like I frequently did. But it is possible to get the full word, and you don’t have to hit that hard to do it. However, what will determine your results is how well the receiver marks. Keep that in mind when considering this toy.
Overall, I’m pleased. It adds a new sensation to our bag and on people who mark well, it can leave it’s mark. I don’t tend to use the term slut in any form of degradation play, but if you do then this could be a fun tool. You can find your own SLUT Impression Paddle with the good folks of GoodVibes!
