Repurposed from a scalloped edge table, likely oak, these paddles are well weighted. Available in a variety of styles, each has it's own benefits. Including rope disperses the initial impact, allowing a much deeper and thuddy feeling over a paddle of the same weight. A sharpened edge or a roped-back gives an alternative sensation play use. The off-centre handle found on most R+R toys allows both the flat side to be used for a dispersing sting, or the thin edge to be used for a precise deep tissue thud. As with any piece of BDSM equipment; use with caution. All of Rough+Ready's items are hand made. These toys use repurposed materials that would've made their way to landfill.
