Using the Sportsheets High - quality Leather Dominance Paddle is easy. Just hold it firmly by the handle and swing gently at first to get a feel for it. As you get more comfortable, you can increase the force for a stronger impact. Remember, communication is key during play, so make sure both you and your partner are on the same page. When using the paddle, avoid sensitive areas like the face, neck, and joints. Only use it on areas with enough muscle and fat, such as the buttocks. After each use, clean the paddle with a soft, damp cloth to keep it in good condition. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or cracking. With proper care, this paddle will last you a long time and keep bringing excitement to your BDSM sessions.
