Best BDSM Spanking Tools and Implements

What are most popular spanking tools and implements?

The best spanking implement is whichever one you like best, and that is the best fit for the level of experience and severity that works for you and your partner.

You don’t need to employ any sort of fancy tool to get a lot of pleasure out of spanking, but an impressive paddle or intimidating riding crop can add to the pageantry and spectacle of the experience, if such things are part of your criteria.

Spanking Tools for BDSM Impact Play

Here are my favorite picks and recommendations for spanking tools.

The Hand

Of course, this is the obvious choice. It’s there, always at the ready, haha. And it gives the spanker complete control. It’s also more inclusive to the spanker, as he has the sensation of skin on skin and can feel the warmth of her buttocks, as well as the wetness between her legs!

The Belt

This was my first spanking tool, so it has a special place in my heart. It started as just a joke I made to my partner… that I needed a spanking because I did something wrong. He then said he would use his belt, which I immediately jumped up to get… the rest is history. A belt provides a great smacking sound (more bark than bite!)

Riding Crop

I got this for my lover’s birthday, but truth be told, it was really just a gift to myself. I like this instrument because it has it’s own sensation apart from the hand or belt. It’s more stingy than the others, and it leaves little pink triangles on your butt.

Spanking Paddle

Paddles come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and designs. Some paddles have holes, from simple straight-line configurations to elaborate patterns. Other paddles might be textured in such a way as to leave a word visible on the flesh of the spanking recipient. “SLUT” and “SLAVE” are two favorites to leave behind in welt form.

Household Spanking Tools

Of course, there are lots of everyday items that you can use to deliver a good spanking, as well. From wooden hairbrushes to rulers and canes, any number of objects can be turned into vehicles for an enjoyable evening of erotic spanking.

What’s the Best Spanking Tool?

In the end, it all comes down to personal preference. For some kinksters, an open hand is still the best spanking implement. For others, the object itself is part of the fun, and they get an added sense of authority and control, whether what they’re wielding is a crop or switch. There are other ways to enhance your spanking sessions, too, like the use of spanking benches, or combining spanking with the use of bondage restraints.

If custom wooden paddles or other elaborate instruments are part of the fun for you, then by all means employ them. If you prefer to keep it simple, have your partner assume the position and take matters into your own hands – so to speak.

And remember, spanking is something you will want to explore slowly with your lover. I think there are many women out there who would enjoy spanking but have never given it much thought. Introduce an exciting new spanking tool into your play and see what happens!
