Key Takeaways

All in all, Kink’s Bad Kitty Paddle is a fantastic impact play toy well worth its $39.99 price tag. To begin with, it’s fantastically well-crafted from top-tier natural leather and exceptionally comfortable to hold and use. Next, its double-sided surface equals double the pleasure and double the kinky possibilities.

Who Should Try It? Do you enjoy a good spanking or impact play session?  If so, then Kink’s Bad Kitty Paddle is something you totally, absolutely will be interested in. Not only is it wonderfully well-made and from super-supple, premium leather, but it’s two paddles in one!

Who Can Skip It? Let’s face it, if you’re less inclined to want to have your tuchus smacked by anything, then it’s a safe bet you are not going to find Kink’s Bad Kitty Paddle especially appealing.

You Can Buy It on the official Kink Store for $39.99.

What is Bad Kitty Paddle by Kink?

Kink’s Bad Kitty Paddle is a dual-sided, relatively narrow paddle made from high-quality leather. One side is delightfully padded and so delivers far more sensual impacts than other, stiffer toys. But flip it over and, lo and behold, you’ve got yourself an exceptionally fine, stingier surface in which to smack your or someone else’s posterior with.

Kink’s Bad Kitty Paddle’s delights don’t end there, as it’s also a spectacularly handsome … or perhaps downright pretty toy, so much so it’s a rarity among BDSM playthings in that it looks just about as good as it feels, which is wonderfully arousing.

First Impressions and Features

Unboxing

Right out of the box, I could tell the folx over at Kinkstore don’t just understand the ins and outs of the BDSM community but know how to treat their customers exceptionally well. For instance, while other companies might toss in one or two cute little extras, Kinkstore included a whole bunch of kinky trinkets. Along with the Kink’s Bad Kitty Paddle, they sent a quality ballpoint pen, a Kinkstore sticker, a simple little pin, and even a beautiful cloisonné one. Talk about going the extra mile—and then some!

Otherwise, their product arrived in a simple plastic bag with a little dessicant package to ensure it stayed nice and dry.

How to Use the Bad Kitty Paddle by Kink?

I didn’t just have a blast reviewing great toys like Kink’s Bad Kitty Paddle, but also taught how to do BDSM safely and effectively as well. With that in mind, any impact play toy should only be used to strike someone on their rear end and nowhere else. For toys like this one, it’s remarkably easy due to its superb design and construction.

While the person on the receiving end can stand while being struck, my advice is instead to have them lie down. The reason is that they can both relax and enjoy themselves, and whoever is wielding the impact toy can aim better. Pretty much the entirety of the ass is fair game, but do try to avoid striking the tailbone.

I also recommend taking things slowly at first, even with someone who might be an experienced impact play enthusiast. If you do, it gives you and them a chance to get used to how the Kink’s Bad Kitty Paddle feels, and from there, how to make things even hotter, more bothered, and, best of all, more fun!

My Personal Experience

The moment I showed them the Kink’s Bad Kitty Paddle, which I got in the mail, my partner’s eyes lit up like fireworks. Then, before you could say “Spank me!” we were putting it through its paces—and all the while with smiles on our respective faces.

For starters, the paddle is exceptionally comfortable to use. I never once felt any kind of discomfort, even after playing for at least an hour. Meanwhile, my partner was raving about how the first side felt like a great, deep tissue massage. Then, when it came time to use its reverse side, she moaned with pleasure about how sensually intense it made her butt feel.

All in all, each of us had way too much of a good time playing with this excellent, dual-purpose product. So much so, it is now one of our all-time favorites!

Design

By and large, paddles tend to look pretty much the same. At one end, you have a handle; in the case of the Bad Kitty Paddle, it’s black with red stitching. The business end, though, is where impact toys usually differ, with some being wider while others might be narrower.

Regarding Kink’s Bad Kitty Paddle, it lies somewhere between the two. By this, I mean it’s not super wide nor particularly thin. The upshot of this is that it’s ideal for a huge variety of different impact play scenes and people who like to be spanked.

Material

Kink’s Bad Kitty Paddle is fashioned from premium quality leather. The cushioned side is soft and deliciously pliant, while the other side is ideally stiff. Also, the center is flexible enough so the toy doesn’t flop around. Compared to others that aren’t as well-made, controlling the paddle is incredibly intuitive and comfortable.

Build Quality and Dimensions

Overall, Kink’s Bad Kitty Paddle’s cushioned section is six and a half inches in length. Its handle is about the same, though maybe a little longer. At its widest part, it is three inches, though the handle dips down to around one and a half inches. Weight-wise, it clocks in at just short of six and a half ounces.

Ease of Use

I’ve owned and used a lot, and I mean a lot, of impact play toys. Some have been little more than repurposed hairbrushes or ping pong paddles, while others have cost upwards of a hundred dollars or more. I bring this up because, measured against them, Bad Kitty Paddle by Kink definitely stands out.

Sure, it’s gorgeous and sexy as all get out. Absolutely, I have no problem awarding its dual-sided design a whole bunch of gold stars. But what I totally adore about playing the Bad Kitty Paddle is how amazingly effortless it is to use. I know I’ve already gone on a bit about this, but trust me, as far as spanking toys go, this one takes the cake.

Versatility

Paddles aren’t really multi-purpose BDSM toys. Though some might be okay with impacting other parts of the body, I don’t advise using them anywhere aside from someone’s buttocks. Because of this, I don’t like to say Kink’s Bad Kitty Paddle isn’t versatile because its double-sided design means it’s several toys in one. Rather, every paddle is essentially a single part of the body type of toy.

Warranty and Support

The Kink Store has an exemplary return and exchange policy. If your purchase is unused or still in its original packaging, you have sixty days to return it. If the item you received is defective, you have a year to return it for an exchange or store credit.

Minor Issues I Found During Testing

After putting the Bad Kitty Paddle by Kink through all sorts of sexy paces, I have no problem saying that I have nearly nothing bad to say about it. But since I feel nothing is ever one hundred percent, I guess I could, if pressed, say I wish its handle were a little rounder. I mention this because, although it’s not a huge deal, I did find my hand ached a little—but only after using it for close to an hour.

Alternatives to Kink’s Bad Kitty Paddle?

Sportsheets Leather Slut Slapper Paddle

Want an impact toy with a slightly bigger, more, shall I say, vocabulary?  If so, you might want to consider getting this SLUT embossed paddle from Lovehoney. Also fabricated from genuine, luxurious leather, it’s ideally suited for role-play games as well as marking your favorite submissive’s rear end. On top of all that, the Sportsheets Leather Slut Slapper Paddle is the same price, but it’s slightly shorter at thirteen inches. Impressively, it shares many style points, particularly because of its (ahem) striking red and black color scheme.

Lovehoney Satin and Leather Spanking Paddle

Also available from Lovehoney, here’s a heavier, bit smaller padded paddle. Made yet again from supple leather, it may not be as versatile as both ends are the same, but this Satin and Leather Spanking Paddle is still a great option for impact play fans. Supple and pleasantly sensual, it’s a great choice for kinksters just getting into spanking play or experienced players looking for something lighter. Though it clocks in at twelve and a half inches long, it’s more than enough to deliver some considerably arousing smacks on the posterior of your choice. Its elegant blackness is also sure to appeal to all those who like to keep their playbag classically black.

Stockroom Floral Engraved Paddle

Departing from leather impact play toys, this ornately decorated wooden paddle, due to its wooden construction, hits harder than most. But it’s also one of the most visually impressive impact plays available today, and is sure to turn many heads when it’s used. Looking more like an art object than a BDSM toy, this Floral Engraved Paddle is nevertheless capable of smacking with enough force to raise some lovely bruises. If you or your partner are groovy on solid-hitting play activities, or may just want a toy that’s flat-out gorgeous, then this is the product you might have been waiting for!
