Impact play tools and equipment

Impact play is a popular form of BDSM, involving hitting with your hand(s) or some kind of BDSM equipment like a flogger, whip or paddle (the world is your oyster when it comes to impact play devices). A lot of people find impact play deeply arousing and stimulating as it crosses the lines between pleasure and pain. Also, the visual arousal the red bruising that their spanking has caused on their sub’s bottoms. Furthermore, some subs relish being physically punished and disciplined for something that they have done or not done.
Popular toys are:
Floggers – Floggers are a quintessential impact implement and liked for their versatility. An icon of BDSM and typically one of the first items added to the BDSM toy box.
The sensations produced by using this article can be caressing, stingy, reflective or jarring and it depends on a range of factors like:

• The force with which it is used;
• The weight and material of the flogger;
• Which part of the body it is used on.
• How it is used;

The flogger is an amazing toy for BDSM beginners and can keep both givers and receivers entertained and satisfied for many years. They are popular among couples who are looking to spice things up.
Floggers are available in a range of materials rubber, leather and even steel. Enthusiasts of S&M toys consider floggers as a staple kink toy – so if you are thinking of getting a flogger to explore the BDSM or to add to your bondage set; here at The Happy Willy Company, we have many options available for you to choose from.
Paddles – Compared to other impact tools like floggers, canes or whips, paddles will distribute the impact evenly. When you utilise paddles to spank your sub, their bottom will be more than likely be red after a couple of hits. And one thing to keep in mind when you choose the material of your paddle is that leather ones sting more than wooden ones.
Being spanked or spanking your partner with a paddle can add thrills to your sex life and that’s unlike anything you’ve ever experienced. If done correctly, spanking is perfectly safe, and this erotic act is excellent for newbies, as well as hardcore BDSM aficionados alike.
Canes – Similar to whips, canes can strike fear into your sub. Because of the design they have a small impact area and are very stingy; so one must exercise caution while using and swinging the cane. One thing to keep in mind is that the greater the rigidity, diameter and weight of the cane, the deeper the pain and thud against the hitting surface. In contrast, if the cane is more flexible, lighter and longer, the higher the sting in its tail.
Riding crops – They are more on the stingy side of pain, which means these are a treat to use and their impact zone is small. Because of their aerodynamic design, you should be careful when you are using them.
Whips – These impact play tools are designed to inflict pain on your sub and inject fear. You can use the whip to strike the skin and cause pain or just scare your sub. We have a wide variety of whips in a range of sizes and styles; some of the popular ones are bullwhips, dragon tail whips and cat o’ nine tails. Whips should only be used by the pros as are deemed to be the most dangerous of BDSM devices.

How to spank safely

Choosing to spank with a paddle or any other impact play device like floggers or canes can be an entertaining and adventurous way to enrich your sex life. If spanking for pleasure it’s your thing, it’s necessary to keep in mind that it needs to be practised with basic moderation. The fun and pleasure factor of BDSM play comes from edging that fine line between pleasure and pain; but if you aren’t cautious, your hunt for the ultimate thrill can seriously hurt your partner or yourself.
Step 1
You might have guessed it, but with all BDSM activities, the first and most crucial step is setting a safe word. One tip from us is to ensure that the safe word you pick is unusual enough that you won’t accidentally shout it out during sex acts; that way the fun will not stop, even if you’d like to continue.
Since it can very easy to lose sight of reality in the heat of the moment, it is important that you take extra time to ensure that both of you know the safe word. If you are planning during the sexual play to cover the receiving person’s mouth in any way, pick another way to express the need to stop. For example, you can go for hand gestures or head movements can replace the safe words.
Step 2
Some kinds of pain are more pleasant than others, even in the context of BDSM; and some can be quite dangerous. So it is better to apply your impact play device to the fleshiest, thickest parts of the body and avoid any area that has bones as much as possible. To be safe, avoid the front of the body altogether, and ensure that the spine, ribs and shoulders stay firmly off-limits.
One safe area is the central area of the buttocks, as is the fleshiest and most satisfying area to spank; as well as the thighs, they are another favourite choice. Using the impact play tools above the apex of the buttocks could cause damage to the spine; no level of sexual pleasure is worth it if it means living with a lower back injury.
Tip
It is important (especially if you are new to this), to only engage in BDSM with someone you trust completely. While you might have great fun on Tinder dates or one night stands, casual strangers are not quite the right people to spank or be spanked by. Only move to the next stage of sexual play you enjoy the most when you both feel entirely comfortable with each other – so the tip from us is to take your time to get to know your partner before moving to impact play.
