PADDLES

When faced with a smooth, bare bottom eager for a spanking, what do you do? No two spankings are the same, so the Stockroom has built up a wide selection of paddles, slappers, and belts so that we always have the right tool on hand when a submissive is begging to be put over the knee.  

Pick up a tawse to re-enact the days of English schools; a fraternity paddle for some kinky hazing; a looped leather belt for some parental discipline; or an impression paddle to mark your submissive as the SLUT they are.  

WHAT IS A BDSM PADDLE?

A BDSM paddle is an impact play implement designed to deliver controlled, repeatable strikes during consensual spanking scenes. Unlike whips or floggers, paddles distribute force across a wider surface area, allowing for deliberate pacing, sustained play, and clearer control over intensity.

In BDSM, paddles are used not just for physical sensation, but to reinforce power dynamics, discipline, ritual, and erotic tension. The act of spanking with a paddle is as much about authority and anticipation as it is about impact.

TYPES OF BDSM PADDLES

This collection brings together a wide range of paddles designed to support different styles of impact play. Rather than focusing on individual designs, these categories help frame how paddles function within a scene.

Leather paddles

A classic choice for BDSM spanking. Leather paddles balance sting and thud, making them versatile for warm-up, punishment, and extended sessions. They’re often favored for their traditional aesthetic and predictable feel.

Silicone paddles

Flexible, durable, and easy to clean. Silicone paddles are commonly used in modern BDSM scenes where hygiene and consistency matter. Their snap can feel sharper despite lighter weight.

Wooden paddles

Firm and resonant, wooden paddles are associated with discipline-forward spanking and ritualized punishment. They tend to deliver deeper sensation and require more intentional pacing.

Metal and specialty paddles

Designed for experienced players, these paddles offer heightened sensation and visual impact. They demand strong communication, experience, and aftercare awareness.

Impression paddles

Textured or engraved paddles meant to leave temporary marks. These are often used in ownership, humiliation, or display-oriented scenes where visual results are part of the dynamic.

PADDLES AS BDSM GEAR

As BDSM gear, paddles function as tools of communication. They establish rhythm, reinforce hierarchy, and create a physical language between top and bottom. The weight of the paddle, the sound of impact, and the ritual of use all contribute to scene structure.

Paddles are frequently paired with bondage restraints, spanking benches, or other BDSM furniture, allowing impact play to occur within a controlled, intentional environment rather than improvisation.
